The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the object of those works was not aggressive, but to protect our own shipping in the Channel, which during the late war had suffered greatly from privateers coming out of St. Melo and other neighbouring parts. Mr. M. GIBSON observed that Alderney was a most out of the way station to send protectieg ships of war to. All our trading vessels worked up channel close to the English shore, and Spitbead would be a far better station for the purpose. Besides, the strong tide and surrounding rocks at Alderney would make it, instead of a harbour of protection, a harbour of destruction for their war ships. Sir F. T. BARING attached all due weight to the opinion of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Gibson) as a military and naval officer. But there were military and naval engineering views on the subject quite op posed to the Right Hon. Gentleman, amongst them those of the Duke of Wellington, which had greeter influ ence with him. Those views were in favour of Alderney as an import int station, and it certainly was not a bad position from which they could watch the motions of the enemy. Mr. COBDEN said he looked upon the works at Al derney and Guernsey as aggressive proceedings, for they were attempts to erect fortifications in the imme diate vicinity of the coast of our great neighbour. He thought it would be better to suspend the operations in Alderney and Guernsey, and rather to sacrifice the amount that had been already laid out there than to go on with the expenditure. He should move that the vote be reduced by a sum of 60,0001. After a few words from Mr. WILLIAMS, The Committee divided, and the numbers were — For Mr. Cobden's amendment... ... 21 Against it ••• ••• ••• •.. 57 Majority against the amendment —36 The vote was then agreed to. THE SLAVE TRADE. A vote of 50,0001. for civil contingencies having been proposed, Mr. HUTT said that as that vote bad some connec tion with the efforts made for the suppression of the slave trade, he wished to take that opportunity of submitting to the Committee a few observations in reply to the statement made the other evening upon that subject by the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. He believed that statement was incomplete, and calculated to mislead the House and the public. He admitted that the slave trade was at present at a lower point than at any period in the present century; but be attributed that gratifying result, not to the exertions of our squadron on the African coast, but to the honest and zealous efforts of the Brazilian Government for the suppression of that trade. It should be remembered that during the years 1847, 1848, 1849, and the begin ning of 1850 the slave trade had been more actively car ried on than ever; and as the squadron had then been in full operation it was manifest that their exertions were not sufficient to account for the recent check to that nefarious traffic. The fact was that the Brazilian Government were at present making very unexpected and very honourable efforts in that direction; but he feared that the favourable circumstances which enabled them to carry on those efforts might not be of long continuance. A dreadful pestilence had been in troduced during the last summer along the whole coast of Brazil in con — sequence of the introduction of slaves; and the result of that devastating evil had been that many of the persons who had been engaged in the trad© had totally abandoned it. He would remind the Noble Lord that the price of slaves was at present 100 per cent. lower in Brazil than it had been in the year 1845; and the natural consequences of an increase in the price of slaves was to giro a fresh impulse to the slave trade. There was no ground for believing that they were ap proaching the extinction of that trade, and it had not been by means of the squadron that the late gratifying diminution of the traffic had been effected. lie wished to say one word as to the expense of the squadron which was employed in the suppression of the trade. The Bishop of Oxford had estimated that expense at 160,0001. a year, and the Edinburgh Review had estimated it at 260,0001., but the Committee which had inquired most carefully into the subject hadasccrtained that that charge could not amount to less than between 600,0001, and 700,000/. a year. Lord PALMERSTON said he was sorry that it had so happened the other evening that ho had felt called upon to make his statement upon that subject in the ab sence of his Honourable Friend. He should observe, that his Honourable Friend had completely confirmed the statement put forward by him (Lord Palmerston) the other evening, that a great diminution had of late taken place in the slave trade. But he (Lord Palmers ton) had never stated, and neither did he mean to state, that he relied solely on the operations of the squadron on tho coast of Africa for accomplishing the destruction of that nefarious traffic. He had merely said that the employment of the squadron was an essential element in the accomplishment of that object.—(Hear, hear.) He was quite ready to do justice to the very proper and honourable course taken by the Brazilian Government in that matter. Various causes, both external and inter nal, had led to that course. There could be no doubt but that a great change had been produced in public opinion in Brazil upon the subject. But he believed that the real people of Brazil had always been less favour able then had been supposed to the traffic. The party that supported and practised the slave trade in that country consisted chiefly of foreigners, of Portuguese, and of the inhabitants of other distant countries, while the natives of Brazil had always felt that the slave trade was not only eminently disgraceful, but was a positive ' curse to the nation. He should tell his Hon. Friend that the two parties in Brazil—the party which practised and patronised the slave trade, and that which wished to see it cease, had looked with the most anxious feelings to the proceedings of the Committee of that House which had inquired into the question of the retention of the British squadron on the coast of Africa, and to the de cision to which the House might come upon the subject. All that was corrupt and base in Brazil clung to the view taken of that question by his Hon. Friend, while all that was honourable and patriotic in that country were desirous that her Majesty's Government should persevere in the course which his Hon. Friend had con demned.—(Hear, hear.) His Hon. Friend had been very near doing great mischief. A distinguished philosopher had said that half of the evils of mankind arose from the vices of men, and that the other half arose from their erroneous opinions; and he (Lord Palmerston) should tell his Hon. Friend that although he gave him credit for the sincerity of his opinions upon that subject, and although he believed that his Hon. Friend would be among the first to shudder at the calamities and atrocities to which the adoption of his opinions would have led— he should tell his Hon. Friend that these opinions would, if they had prevailed, have opened the flood-gates of iniquity ou the world—(Bear, hear)—.that they would have deluged Africa and America with misery and with crime, and would have caused results which he was sure that his Hon. Friend, when he came calmly to consider them, would never have forgiven himself for having even unintentionally been instrumental in producing.— (Hear, hear.) He agreed with his Hon. Friend that they should not be too confident that the means of suppressing that trade which at present existed would • continue. His Honourable Friend had made one mistake, to which he (Lord Palmerston) should direct his attention. His Honourable Friend had said that the price of slaves had of late fallen 100 per cent.; but he could inform his Hon. Friend, on the best authority, that the tact was that the price of slaves in Brazil had risen 100 per cent. in the commencement of the present year, as compared with the price a short time previously. His Hon. Friend was also mistaken in supposing that the importation of slaves into Brazil had been very consider able in the year 1850. The fact was, that in that year the number of slaves imported into that country had only reached half the number of those imported in the pre ceding year. Mr. HUTT said he had only spoken of the beginning of the year 1850. Lord PALMERSTON continued—Daring the whole of the last year the importation had considerably di minished. But the great diminution had taken place in the present year when, the co-operation of the Brazilian Government for the suppression cf the slave trade had com e into full play. He agreed with his Hon. Friend, that however great might be their success at present, it was n ot complete, and that they could not rely on its being Permanent; so that they should continuo to cm ploy6u ct t b h e o n s e e fi ti c a e l a re s s w a l h t s i ha and d a d should already a o h n e e t i n n u a e t t etnod givee that Brazilian party which wished to get rid of the s up w po h r i t ch wh t i h c o h had ll enabledat present th e e o m e g t r o s t a u t : t a t ge a s t• on l st a ala t i e nv d eadtn rvaade h themselves. And then li l a ' a hoped that in the course of no very distant period they might rejoice at that constancy, that perseverance, that generous determina tion of the British nation, by which, and not by the con duct of this or that Government, which had only been the organ of the national feelings upon that question— by which this country would have tnhaesoantis as well as no s f having accomplished a work wh ich, if nations individuals reaped the benefit or reaped the punishment of their good or cf their bad actions, would, ho trusted, tell to the advantage of the British peapie,_ (Cheers.) Mr. GIBSON had always considered the interference of the squadron on the coast of Africa, while unable to prevent the slave trade, was calculated to increase the horrors of the middle passage. The Noble Lord h a d admitted that the slave trade increased during the years 1847-48-49, and that it was only when the Brazili an Government was acted upon by public opinion that the change had taken place. He hed always contended that there was only one power which could put down the slave trade in Brazil, and that was the formation of: a public opinion in Brazil. It was public option which had ab dished the slave trade and slavery in the British dominions; but it took 30 years to convince even the bishops that the slave trade was a great crime and a sin. They could not, therefore, expect a country like Brazil all at once to jump to the same conclusion. But he wished to ask the Noble Lord whether the English Go v( rnuient was prepared to act upon the promise of Lord Aberdeen, who introduced the Act called the Brazilian Act, which authorised British cruisers to deal with Bra- zthan ships according to the laws laid down by Eng land in reference to the slave trade, and who said he I would repeal that Act as soon as the Brazilian Govern ment should enable him to do do. He wished the Noble Lord to state whether he thought the time was now come for acting upon that promise? Lord PALMERSTON—I do not consider that the time has come. Mr. CARDWELL said the Right Hon. Gentleman was inconsistent with himself in wishing the abolition of the slave trade, and asking for the withdrawal of the combined squadron. The Right Hoe. Gentleman ad- • mined that in 1850 nothing could be more prosperous than the Brazilian slave trade; but at that time there lay on the table a report, with a majority of one recom mending the cessation of the blockade. The Right Hon. Gentleman boasted that public opinion hi Brazil had esustethe present movement; but the Brezilian Minister .has):aeitnitted that it was impossible to carry on the slave trade in opposition to the expressed determination of "17 -- LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 19, 1851. such a country as Gicett Britain. He (Mr. Cardwell) emphatically denied that the e►idence did other than substantiate the efficacy of the squadron as regarded the change of policy in Braz;!. In 1842 there were preuliar circurastaisces which diminished the efficacy of the squa dron, and those cireureste.nces at once affect( d the slave trade. B_ fore the squadron was withdrawn, 2,500 miles of coast were delivered from slavery, end the entire coast of Africa had been freed, with the exception of the Portuguese colonies. No man contended that a po lice of ships could be always kept up on the African coast. The two groat engines for the suppression of slavery were commerce and Christianity —( Hear, hear.) These were the engines used in the Bight of Biafra and north of the line. There were 10,000 children in the schools of the mission, and industry was growing up among the people. By the combined action of double measures, the slave trade was, therefore, nearly anni hilated. Eighteen months ago there was a dissatisfac tion pervading the country, not because of the cost, but because of imperilling the name of Great Britain in an unsuccessful policy; but when the House was told the slave trade was nearly put a❑ end to, he (Mr. Cardwell) had no fear for the co-operation of the English people. Hetwas not, consequently, prepared for a miserable eco nomy to hand the inhabitants of Atrica over to the scum of human nature. Mr. BUTT explained. Sir R. H. INGLIS expressed his obligation to the Noble Lord for his efforts in the suppression of the slave trade. He retained ail the objections he ever expressed to that measure of commercial policy which encouraged slavery; but he would not disturb the unanimity that prevailed on the subject. He suggested that the Noble Lord should extend the benefits of steam communication to the British colonies on the coast of Africa, as he had done to the other British colonies in various parts of the world. Mr. WILLIAMS objected to the item in the vote which comprehended the expense of passages for the bishops of Jamaica, Barbadoes, Gibraltar, Antigua, and Newfoundland—namely, 349/. 13e. id. He also objected to the charge of 1371. 19s. 6d. for constituting and ap pointing the Bishops of Quebec and Montreal; also to the vote of 751. 15s. for the entertainment of the Danish governor on the coast of Africa. He objected, too, to the vote of 2501. for robes, collars, badges, &c., for knights; and to the vote of 184/. 4s. for the marshal of the ceremonies. The vote of 2,844/. for the funeral of her late Majesty the Queen Dowager he also objected to, inasmuch as she had 100,0001. a year, and a palace fitted up for her at a cost of 10,0001. It was reported she had left a large sum to relatives—not in this country— and he thought she should be buried at their expense. The votes for the funerals of the late Princess Sophia and the late Duke of Cambridge ho objected to on the same grounds. He should likewise object to the charge of 100/. for auditing the accounts of Maynooth College, and 1,2001. to the Episcopalian clergy of Scotland. All these items, amounting in all to 6,170/., should not be charged on the taxes of this country. Mr. C. LEWIS said the vote last year was 100,0001., and the sum expended was 65,000/. That fact showed considerable forbearance on the part of the Government. With respect to the first vote, the allowance had been voted for a considerable time—there was no new princi ple involved in them, and the salaries of these bishops were not very high—one of them, indeed, the Bishop of Gibraltar, was supported by voluntary contributions. The expense of the Danish governor was necessarily in creased on the surrender of the. Danish forts on the coast of Africa. The robes and collars were one of the items removed from the civil list on the settlement of that fund. The marshal of the ceremonies attended foreign presentations at this Court. The charge for royal in terments had also been borne by the civil list before the settlement; and it was not customary for the royal fa mily to provide by will for the expenses of their inter ment. The expense of the funeral of the Queen Dowager was in accordance with her own request conducted in the simplest manner, consistent with her exalted rank. Ho hoped the House would be satisfied, therefore, with these explanations. Colonel SIBTIIORP said no one entertained a greater respect for the memory and virtue of the late Queen Dowager than he did; but he should be much more satisfied if the expenses of her funeral had not been taken out of the pockets of the people. It would have been better for the Government and House to vote a testimonial to her memory. He was afraid this vote would be a drawback upon the feelings entertained for that exalted person, whose charities were un bounded, and who, he believed, did not die rich, es was stated, but poor. He could not, however, vote with the Hon. Member:lfor Lambeth. He did not sec) in the omissions proposed by the Hon. Member the sum of 1,0651. for the promotion of the works of the Great Ex hibition of the Industry of all Nations.— (Laughter.) He (Colonel Sibthorp) entertained but one opinion of that establishment, that it was a great fraud upon the public. No course could be adopted more injurious to the respectable tradesman than that which had been adopted in this respect by the illustrious individual who was fed and clothed by the country. The country people who came up here would return to their homes discontented and unhappy, for their minds would remain in the metropolis, though their carcases—(Laughter)— might be in the country. There was another question, too, which he wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and that was, whether the building was to stand or not?—(Hear, hear.) What was the expectation entertained about it? Did they mean—would they dare to keep up that, the original erection of which in the park was a direct robbery of the people? For his part he would never subscribe for its maintenance, and he would sooner pay the expense of putting an end to it bimself.—(Laughter.) Ho wished some visitation of Providence—(oh, oh! and laughter) —some storm of hailstones, would knock it end over end, rather than it should remain there any longer a trespass on the property of the people. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Hon. and Gallant Colonel's opinions need not put a stop to the vote. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was always ready to receive conscience money—(Laughter) and if the Hon. and Gallant Colonel sent him any it would bo duly acknowledged in the papers.—(Laughter.) Colonel SIBTHORP—I will pay part if you will pay the remainder. You receive public money, and Ido not. —(Laughter.) Sir H. VERNEY thought it would be a most paltry and improper saving to compel soldiers and sailors to pay for those decorations to which their services entitle them. The higher order of military decorations had often put people to considerable expense. Mr. EDWARDS believed that the money had been already voted and paid, and he could not understand how they could disallow it now. There were some items of which he could not approve. He had never voted any money for the Roman Catholic religion, and yet there was an item of 100/. for auditing the accounts of the new Roman Catholic college. Mr. C. LEWIS said that was rather a far-fetched ob jection. In consequence of the change of policy when the charge of the now college had been pat upon the Consolidated Fund, the accounts were obliged to bo kept with greater care than heretofore, and that was the cause of that item. Mr. E. DENISON said there was a large sum paid to the Dean and Chapter of Windsor for the burial of her late Majesty, and he wished to know the particulars of it. Mr. C. LEWIS said he could not exactly say what was the sum paid for the interment of the late Queen, but ho believed it was the same as was paid on former similar occasions. Sir B. II &LL said it would be better to postpone that vote until they got some explanation, and more espe cially as to the Dean and Chapter to whom the sum was paid was one of the richest ecclesiastical corporations in the kingdom. Such a sum as 1,0001. to that body for an interment was one of the grossest cases ever brought be fore that House, end if the vote were not postponed or explained, he would divide against it. Colonel SALWEY wished to know whether these orders and collars were for Knights of the Garter, or for naval and military knights? Mr. C. LEWIS said all the Knights of the Garter paid for themselves, but certain robes were furnished by the Crown, which wore afterwards returned. Colonel SALWEY said if it were for naval and mili tary knights he would not say another word. The CtIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was. - - - - Sir G. PECIIELL said the into Sir E. Codrington refused to supply his own orders, and he had never been summoned to as.ist at an installation in consequence. Mr. WILLIAMS, in reply, said as ho could not take eseh item singly he would put them altogether, omitting thu relative to the Danish Governor. The whole ' amount, then, by which he proposed to lessen the vote was 6,0311. 16s. 10d., which would leave a balance of 43,968/. and some odd L;hillings. Mr. SPOONER thought they should have some more explanation relative to the 1,0001. paid the Dean and Chapter of. Windsor. Perhaps the sum had been dis bursed by the Woods and Forests; and, if so ' the Noble Lord at the head of the Government might be able to give some information on the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ho could not then state exactly the amount, but would do so on the report. Mr. MO WATT said he would vote for the proposition of the Hon. Member for Lambeth. Considering the mu nificent allowance the Queen Dowager had bad for so many years, he thought it was the duty of the Govern ment to break through any precedent which might have formerly existed with respect to royal funerals. It was a monstrous thing, under such circumstances, to call upon the public purse to defray the expense of her in terment. After some further conversation, The Committee divided, when the numbers were— For the amendment ... 43 Against it 69 Majority against the amendment —26 The question having been again put, t s e ee theres t course electoral a t r to ls ed vui notice, pursued brought divisions oi fn each fixingunder un tiho un i on the M n r o . t U ie L e E of li t E he N H TB o ; icanhn Gentlemanenlgur ue i t el i r e n s d i p ul a b y n ad a r so b rsl refused b ee y t Act tot ot l h 3 gi t si h v es a u n tbh d jeenic l4 t.f t u h lTi V ihn i ceftoßr, information g . ah l tti 4 oH . n Ho complained c omplained of the conduct of the Ch ance ll or ' of the Ex the point, and he rote for the purpose of affording him another opportunity of communicating to the Committee that information which it was so desirable they should possess. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the course he bad pursued. Ho had acted on the report of the Poor-law Commissioners, and had extended the time of repayment in every union in which the eireum st:;nces seemed to justify it. Sir P. NUGENT and Sir L. O'BRIEN sa id a few words in favour of the views of the Hon. Member for Leitrim. Colonel SIBTHORP moved the reduction of the 'foto by the sum of 1,065/. 17s. The Committee divided, when there appeared— For the reduction ... ••• ••• 33 Against 81 • P-48 Majority „. The vote was egrecel to. 467,000/. were voted for the commissariat depart ment ; ere 44,613/. for haln pay penaions in the commissariat de partment. The men - , vote was 809,4.961. for,Post.office and picket service. Sir DE LACY EVANS took advantage of the vote to draw tee attention ot the House to the proposed naval retirement scheme, es affe.cting naval offices-a of long and distinguished service wee may not have completed their six years' command at sea, through no neult of their own; and wine a view of affording these the benefit of the equit able provision for the army, in refs reece to the required six years' field officers effective duty in that branch of her Mejesty 'A service. Sir F. BARING did not wish to re-open the question to which the Hon. anti Gallent Officer referred. Ho had been pressed on a former occasion to hold out ex pectations, that it was his intention to reconsider the sub ject, but he held out no expectation of the kind. He had stated that the plan he had proposed, and, indeed, uny other plan which was at all efficient, must be based upon the principle of removing certain officers from the active to the retired list. It was his object to remove the lower class of officers, the commanders and lieute nsnte, but he could not fairly and justly do so without dealing in the seine manner with the higher class of officers, who had strong and powerful interest both iu that and the other House of Parliament. He thought, however, it was only a matter of justice that a plan which affected the prospects and feelings of the lower class of officers should apply also to those higher in rank. It must not be supposed that there was any in justice done to those officers. By the old practice, offi cers who received their flags rose upon the list till they obtained a certain amount of pay, but they were never employed upon active service. All he asked was, that they should rise in rank just as they did before, that they should receive exactly the same pay, and that they should be placed upon the reserved list, their services being called for only in case of extreme necessity. He did not think this arrangement would subject them to any hardship or injustice. If the Committee should de cide against him he would bow to their decision; but ho thought it would be most unfair to deal with the lower class of officers upon principles different from those on which they dealt winh the higher class. Mr. J. A. SMITH thought the rule laid down by Government in some cases might act with an improper degree of strictness, and he hoped it would be relrxed. He threw out the hint whether there were not excep tional cases which might ,deserve the attention of Go vernment. Sir G. PECHELL relied on the promise of Govern ment to do equal justice to admirals, commanders, and lieutenants. But he could not help thinking that in the case of several admirals to which he had drawn atten tion the other night there was a necessity for some alte ration. It was incomprehensible why those admiral:, who were still fit for service, should be taken from the active list and placed, without their consent and against their inclinations, upon the retired list. Captain SCOBELL was a retired officer, yet still took a great interest in the service. The whole naval sys tem of retirement, promotion, and medals, required re consideration. He would not, however, draw off the attention of the House from the hardship of passing over old officers when they arrived at the head of the list. There were many officers who had not served six years, but who had pressed to be employed even for twelve or fourteen years. Whose fault was it that they were not =pieced? If this system was continued the Lords of the Admiralty would have it in their power to prevent any officer from being placed on the list, because they would have the power of refusing to give employment. In other cases commanders might be prevented from rising on the list. All he wanted was to find that in terest did not run away with all promotion, and that good and gallant officers were not kept back because they had no interest. At least half the lieutenants never got beyond that rank, and nearly one-half of the commanders were in the same condition? And why so? Because of the great crowd of officers on the list. But what occasioned this crowd of officers after thirty-five years of peace? An improvident and reckless system, which required to be reformed. Another evil of this system was to create indifferent officers. He hoped the Right Hon. Baronet would still further amend the past misconduct of the navy. They might build ships, but, if they had not efficient officers to commend them, when war came they would rue the day. Sir F. BARING said that it was with a view to re medy the evil of which the Hon. and Gallant Member complained that he had come down and asked the assis tance of the House, and he felt satisfied that the arrange ment made was not only beneficial to the service, but by no means disapproved of by some of the best officers in the service. —(Hear.) Lord NAAS expressed a doubt if the Admiralty were justified in issuing their recent order to the effect that, in consequence of some experiments which had been made at Portsmouth, they had come to the determination not to sanction the general employment of iron steam-ships in the contract packet service. Sir F. BARING said that one of the grounds for the order in question was the same as bad been stated before the Select Committee—namely, that in case of war it was most desirable that Government should have a cer tain number of steamers to fall back upon to meet the emergency; and, in point of fact, as tar as experience went, an iron ship was utterly improper for war pur poses. He did not deny, however, that they were useful for mercantile purposes; and if the Noble Lord could prove that iron would be a good material for iwar ships also, he would be doing him (Sir F. Baring) very great service in more ways than one. Sir T. ACLAND urged upon the Government the expediency and propriety of establishing a line of packets from this country along the western coast of Africa as far as Fernando Po. At present our inter course with that coast, though one of benevolence, was one of . restriction and coercion also. Let the mail steam-packets be introduced, and at once tl-.0 ports ou the west Afri can sea b oard would be connected w ith us in the best possible manner. Ho wished to know whe ther there was in the contracts with the Pceinsular and Oriental Steam-packet Company anything which pre eluded the Go vernment from altering tho pert of arr i va l and departure in thi s country to Plymouth or Falmout h? He asked this question, because since Soutllauepton was selected as the port o f arr i va l and departure, an immense change had been eff ec t e d i n t h e railroad facilities to t h e west, and a letter could now be conveyed from London to Plymouth in the short space of seven hours. Sir F. BARING said there was nothing in the con tract that precluded such an alteration. The vote was then agreed to; as were also the two next votes of 103,7001. f or th e d i sembodied mil i t i a, an d 500,0001. to meet d e fi c i ency i n the supplies granted to her Majesty in 1850. Tho Victoria Park Bill was read a third t i me an d passed. Other Bills were forwarded a stage, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'clock until to-morrow (this day), at noon. LLEWELLYN'S DIVORCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, J u ly 18. The House assembl e d t hi s afternoon At four o'clock, according to appointment, and proceeded to hear further evidence in Liewellyn's Divorce Bill. rho Lords pre sent were the Lord . Chancellor, the Earl o f Aylesford, Lord Monteaglo, Lord Camoys, and Lord Strangford. Mr. Warren, Q.C., and Mr. ]Mcqueen appeared for the petitioner; Mr. Barnard represented Mrs. Llewellyn. Mr. BARNARD stated that he had been instructed to appear on behalf of Mrs. Llewellyn. It would be re collected that on Tuesday last, the day upon which the case had in the first instance been heard, Mrs. Llewellyn had not been represented by counsel. By an order of the House, Mr. Llewellyn had been directed to pay a sum to enable her to appear by counsel at their Lord ships' bar. That order having been obeyed by the pe titioner, he had the honour of appearing as counsel for Mrs. Llewellyn, and he had to state that, having carefully perused the evidence given on Tuesday, and also the proceedings in the Consistory Court, he felt bound at once to admit that he was not enabled to with stand the case which bad been laid before the House on the part of the petitioner. He wished, however, to cell attention to a fact in the case. He had looked through the allegations brought by Mrs. Llewellyn, and found that, subsequently to her marriage with the pe titioner, a relative had died who had bequeathed to her a sum of 200/., as the moiety of the property of the tes tator. The petitioner had, therefore, under the bequest, received 2001. It had been proved to the satisfaction of the House that Mrs, Llewellyn was without support. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that it clid not appear what means she had, or how she lived, with the excep tion of two small payments. Mr. BARNARD said that, by an order of thaConsistory Court, a sum of money was to be paid by the husband until the proceedings had terminated. Ha was directed to state to the House that Mrs. Llewellyn was in truth without any means of support. In answer to a remark from the LORD CHANCELLOR, Mr. BARNARD said that 501. per annum was ordered as alimony by the Coasistory Court, and that had been duly paid to her for the year commencing April, 1850, and terminating 1851. All he intended to ask would be, that if this Bill were to be passed into law, their Lordships would insert a clause in it directing Mr. Llewellyn to pay over this 2001., which he had received on her behalf. Mr. WARREN said that Mr. Llewellyn would not offer any objection to this proposition. Mr. MACQUEEN said these arrangements were gene rally made in private, and that it was not customary to insert such clauses.. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked if Mr. Warren had any further evidenoe to propose? Mr. WARREN replied in the negative. He had been impressed with the conviction that the evidence which had been bronght forward on the former day was sufficiently strong, and that the House would at once assent to the second' reading of the Bill. The further evidence which he would call was that of the brother and sister of Mrs. Llewellyn, to whom she had.made the con fession. It was a course which the House would see, for obvious reasons, helwai very reluctant to acippt, as it would be placing thosb parties in a moat painful posi tion. If he did not receive an intimation from the Rouse to the contrary, be did not propose to call th ese wit nesses. _ Th e LORD' CHANCELLOR remarked that the Learned Counsel must -exercise his own judgment U p on the matter. . _ Mr. WARREN repeated again that ho had been of opinion that the evidence was complete upon the former occasion, but if their,Lordships should intimate a doubt— The LORD CHANCELLOR said the Learned Counsel must exercise his own judgment upon that point, The House could not form any opinion until the petitioner's case had been finally heard. Mr. WARREN said that he did not propose to call any farther evidence, but he would take the liberty of sub mitting th;t the evidence which be had placed before Miles opened, 1851. 322 95 89% 17134 22% 236 12% 5184 5% 173 4 2444 167 -3 2 28 496% 76 34 the MAE° on Tuesday last was clear, and sufficiently proved that, aLluitery had been crop witted. The LORD CHANCELII)R having consulted ttmir Lord ships, said that he WS e4nMiOrti, ti consult Bonn other Noble Members of the Hozisc, end ho would therefore move that the further consideration of the case should be adjourtiecl.—Adjournal accordingly. 41,420 27l 1,299 533 4,628 6,521 3,384 404 1.150 1,105 458 629 726 5,190 16,826 2,417 4,454 2,692 485 3,209 1,552 3,124 4,529 18,217 4,223 17,016 1,373 248 50,517 1,344 12.167 13,325 188 6,361 680 23,341 1,262 2,643 3,342 5,070. £1,611 '6q6 1,520 264 1,589 749 5,227 6,885 3,861 662 1,104 1,018 492 615 193 5,434 16,019 2,511 3,815 2,407 484 1.518 480 3,979 1,242 13,216 4,580 26,792 5,294 17,398 1,171 565 63,463 12,757 17,134 149 7,318 712 20,933 1,428 2,655 3,548 5,207 834 1,901 463 1,960 14,615 978 1,047 2,584 988 331 703 1,809 - 634 2, 1 .88 19,035 1,196 1,245 2,297 858 240 207 14,595 8,502 249 14,434 7,967 1,488 2,919 :1,016 16,711 3,185 6,624 7,600 7,512 3,202 1,880 3,039 944 20,312 3,261 11,114 8,059 follow :—Lancashire and Yorkshire, Fifths, 3 —York, New castle, and Berwick, 18c2—Ditto (G.

The good service pcnson of 3001 pef annum, vacant by the death of Admiral Talbot, has been conferred by Sir F. Baring on Vice-Admiral of the White Thomas Brown, an officer who, although without the decoration of even a K H., has seen some very distinguished service In the course of his 60 years' career is the navy, f or 4 0 of which h e was employed afloat. The following sketch of his services is condensed from " O'Byrnc's Bio graphy:" "In the Pa' ceaix, 36, commanded by Sir Richard Strachan, he partook, in November, 1791, on the Mala bar coast, of an obstinate conflict with the French frigate La llosolue, of 46 guns, which terminated in the enemy striking his colours after occasioning a loss to himself of 25 killed, and 40 Wounded, and to the British of 6 killed and 11 wounded. In 1792, Mr. Brown removed to the Minerva, 38, and assisted in 1793, at the reduction of Chandenagore, Pondicherry, and other plades. Ile was promoted to a lieutenancy in the Glory, 98, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Bourmaster, October 24, 1794. During the six years ho was attached to the Flora, 36, we find him present at the occupation of Porto Ferrajo, in July, 1796; at the capture, besides the French 16-gun corvette La Corceyre, of nine privateers, carrying in the whole 102 guns, and 640 men; and in the expedition to Egypt, under Lord Keith and Sir R. Ahercromby, whose mortal remains he subsequently conveyed to Malts. Capt. Brown, who was advanced to the rank of commander, October 8, 1802, was next appointed, January 14, 1803, to the William store-ship, and in September of the same year to the Orestes, 14, in which vessel he afforded every support and assistanco to Commodore Owen, of the Immortalite, in a skirmish with the Boulogne flotilla, October 23, 1804, and had the misfortune to he wrecked, July 17, 1805, on the Splinter Sand, in Dunkerque Road. Commanded the Raven brig, the Solebay, 32. the In flexible, 64, the Curacao, and the Vengeur, 74, flag ship, of Sir Joseph Sydney Yorke. In the Bulwark, 74, Commodore Sir Richard King, served off Brest and I'Orient; and March 21, 1812, and November 20, 1814, commanded the Loire, 38, and Saturn, 56, in both of which ships he took a very active part in the hostile operation on the coast of North America, and, in the former, captured, December 10, 1813, the Rolla pri vateer, of five guns and eighty men. Ho was placed out of commission April 24, 1815; obtained command of the Ordinary - at Sheerness, October 14, 1816; was se lected by Rear-Admiral Robert Lambert to be his flag captain in the Vigo, 74, at St. Helena, then the abode of Napoleon Bonaparte, November 12, 1819; January 31, 1826, commanded the Tartar, 42, in South America, where he was presented by the celebrated Bolivar with his portrait, as a mark of esteem • October 26, 1831, commanded the Talavera, 74 ; and, May 17, 1833, as sumed the command of the Caledonia, 120, us flag-cap. tain to Sir Josias Rowley, in the Mediterranean. Cap. tain Brown was superseded in October, 1835; he ob• tained his flag Jane 28, 1838. THE COMMANDER•IN-CHIEF OF THE SOUTH k • - EAST COAST OF AMERICA. Rear-Admiral William Wilmot Henderson, C. 8., K.H., has been appointed to relieve Rear-Admiral Hey nolds,C.B.,in the command-in-chief of the south-east coast of America station. On the occasion of Admiral Hen derson obtaining his flag rank on the 21st of March last, we gave an account of his services. We may now briefly remark that he went to sea in 1799, with Earl St. Vin cent as his patron, and the famous Sir W. Domett as his captain. He was in the battle of Trafalgar, was pro moted to the rank of commander for his gallantry with Sir James Gordon in the action off Lisa; was posted in 1815; was ashore from 1816 to 1837, and as a captain commanded after that time the Edinburgh, 72, at Acre, and the Victory ordinary guard ship at Portsmouth. His sea services extend over a period of 24 years. THE CAPTAIN'S GOGD- SERVICE PENSION. Captain Frederick Thomas Michell (1830) has received at the hands of Sir F. Baring the good-service pension of 1501. per annum, relinquished by Sir John Ross, on promotion to the flag. Ho, too, has served with distinc tion in the war, was wounded eight times, and has 23 years' afloat service in all grades. According to O'Byree his first ship was the Eurydice, 24, and on Oat. 6, 1805, we find him serving with the boats under Lieutenant Andrew Pellet Green, at the capture of the Mestuo la Solidad, Spanish privateer, of 6 guns, and a convoy, of which the latter had charge. In the ensuing November, having followed Captain Hoste into the Amphion, 32, ho assisted at the defeat, although simultaneously op posed by the fire of an immense battery, of a division of about thirty Spanish gun-boats, which had come out of Algeciras in the hope of capturing a British convoy. He was afterwards present in the operations against the French on the coast of Calabria; and in the cuurso of 1806 he became in succession attached to the Termagant, 18, Morgiana sloop, and Ocean, 98, flag-ship of Lord Collingwood—all, too, in the Mediterranean, on which station he continued until promoted to the rank of lieu tenant, May 29, 1807. In the Active, 38, he aided at the capture, March 26, 1808, of the Friedland brig of war of 16 guns, having on board the commander-in•chief of the Italian Marine; and was wounded in two successful boat expeditions on the coast of Albania. On the first of those occasions, out of seven casualties that occurred, his own boat sustained the loss of one killed and five wounded. The injuries ho himself received were rewarded by a gratuity from the Patriotic Fund. During a subsequent servitude of five years and nine months, from June, 1805, to March, 1815, in the Rhin, 38, on the home, West India, and Brazilian sta tions, he assisted at the capture of nine privateers (of one of which be took possession in a heavy gale), carrying altogether 103 guns and 735 men, and co-operating ex tensively in 1812-13 with the patriots on the north coast of Spain. When the Laurel frigate in January of the former year was cast away in the Teigaeuse passage, he made one trip more than any other officer to the wreck, although under the fire of the enemy, and brought off the captain and the last of the crew. On leaving the Rhin she joined, first, the Boyne, 98, and then the Queen Charlotte, 100, bearing each the flag of Lord Exmouth, who, on the day preceding the battle of Al giers, placed him in charge, with the rank of com mander of the whole of the battering flotilla attached to his squadron. During the ever memorable bombard ment Captain Mitchell, in execution of the duty with which, ho had been intrusted, went on board the Dutch admiral's and every British ship engaged in the line of battle. In the midst of the conflict, when, as it was supposed, the captain of the Queen Charlotte had been mortally wounded, he was sent for by the commander-in-chief, and directed to act in his stead. He was removed from the command of the flotilla to that of the Beelz:bub bomb, September 1, 1816; and on 16th of the same month he was officially promoted. Quitting the BeelzAmd on the 21st of the ensuing Octo ber, Captain Michell did not again go afloat until De cember, 1826, when he was appointed to the Rifleman, 18, fitting for the Mediterranean, and was recommended by the successive commanders-in-chief, and by her Ma jesty's ambassador at the Porte, in a manner that pro cured him a post-commission, dated February 22, 1830. His last appointments were, April 23, 1840, and August 4, 1841, to the Magicienne, 24, and Inconstant, 36, in the former of which ships h e un it e d i n th e operations . on the coast of Syria ; and i n th e l at t er save d, by his zeal and promptitude, the Sco u t s l oo p of war from being . lost, after she had b een a wee k on s h ore on the island of Cyprus. NAVAL AIDE-DE-CAMP TO THE QUEEN. Captain Frederick William Beechey, F.R.S. (1327), has received the vacant appointment of naval aide-de camp to the Queen, vice Stirling, promoted to flag rank. Captain Beechey has served afloat since his first entry into the Navy, in 1806, for about 35 years, chiefly in active expeditions and surveying operations. In th e war, when midshipman of the Astrea, 42, and 271 men, ho proceeded to the Cape of Good Hope. On May 20, 811, when in company, off Madagasear,with the Phoebe and Galatea frigates, of force similar to the Astrea, and 18. gun brig Racehorse, he assisted, after a long and warmly contested notion with the French 40-gun frigates Ronommee, Cloriude, and Ne:dide, and a loss to the Astrea of two killed and sixteen wounded at the capture of the Renounce?, and on the 25th of the same month, of the N 6 fide and the settlement of Tamatave. In the Galatea, 36, Captain Woodley Losack, he received his first commission, March 10, 1815. While attached to the Vengeur, 74, he attended the expedition to New Orleans, and was in the beats, Jan. 18, 1815, when they swept across the Mississippi with a body of troops, sea men, and marines, to create a diversion in favour of the general attack on tho American line. As Lieu tenant, Mr. Beechey's appointments appear to have been —Sept. 13, 1815, to the Niger, 38, Captain Samuel o ackson, on the North American station; Jan. 14, 1818, to the Trent, hired brig, Lieutenant-Commander, now Sir John Franklin, whom he accompanied in a northern expedition under Captain David Buchan; Jan. 22, 1819, to the Uccle, sloop, Li eu t e nant-Commander W illiam Edward Parry, in which he penetrated to long. 113 dog. 54 min. 43 sec. W. within the Arctic Circle, and re ceived in consequence a Parliamentary reward of 200/.; and Jan. 23, 1821, to the Adventure, sloop, Captain William Henry Smyth. On Nov. 5 following, having been appointed in conjunction with his brother, Mr. 11. W. Beechey, to co-operate with the last-name.d vessel in conducting overland a survey of the north coast of Africa he set out from Tripoli for that purpose. The results' of his researches, which extended as far eastward as Dome and lasted until July 25, 1822, have been fully detailed by Captain Beechey in his " Proceedings of the Expedition."

Batton, to the Fisgard flag•ship, at Woolwich- Datkntless screw steam-frigate, Captain Halsted, is nearly stripped at Portsmouth. We hear she is to have an alteration made in her armament, by which some of her top weight will be reduced. Her weather deck pivot-guns, which aro very heavy, will be taken away (except one gun forward), and lighter guns substituted; but she will be supplied with 68-pounder guns for the main deck, instead of her present 32-pounder; so that, in fact, she will still, when altered, fire as heavy a broad side as she does now. Odin, steam-frigate, Lieut. 'Sanford in command, ar rived at Spithead on Thursday evening. In company with the Tiger, steamer, Captain Henderson, she sailed froba ;Cork, on Tuesday evening, with the Retribution and Sidon, and proceeded with them as far as Cape Clear, where they left them, steaming on their voyage to the Cape satisfactorily. We aro glad to state that there were no fresh cases of fever on board the Sidon. The Odin left the Tiger, with Captain Henderson, C.E., in Mount's Bay. That vessel put into Plymouth Sound on Wednesday, and, after coaling, was to-day to proceed up Channel. Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord Edward Russell, was exercising her big guns yesterday morning firing s a l vos of blank cartridges. The Portsmouth Dockyord boat brigade, under Major Davis, master-attendant of the Clarence Victualling yard, with the four divisional boats, proceeded up the harbour on Thursday evening to practice with shot at the targets of the Excellent ; sixteen rounds were fired from the boats, 24-pounder earronades, a t a range of 500 yards ; the first three shots struck the target, the fourth entirely knocked it to pieces. Twelve rounds were also fired from the 2-pounder, at a range of 800 yards, the target being completely riddl e d. H a d t h e gun -b oats b een firing at a jolly-boat, instead of a target, every shot would have struck her. Rear-Admiral Prescott was present at the practice, and highly commended the pro ficiency of the men. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 18.—The Fairy Royal yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitselarenee, G.C.H., embarked her Majesty and th e C ourt f or Osborne at the Royal Clarence victualling establishment this afternoon, at tea minutes past five, the royal train having left Vauxhall at a quarter to three in charge of Mr. Cornelius Stovin, the manager, and Mr. Beattie, the locomotive superintendent cf the South-Western Railway Company.

The Centaur steam frigate has been removed from the steam basin to the South dock to-day to have her bottom overhauled, owing to an order having arrived to fit her for further service with all dispatch. New masts are being made for her, and the riggers will begin rigging her as soon as they are ready. The Northumberland American packet arrived this morning and sailed for New York this afternoon.

WOOLWICH, JULY 18.—The Magicienne, 16, paddle wheel steam-frigate, arrived at Woolwich this afternoon from Devonport, in charge of Mr. Biddlecombe, to have some repairs made at Woolwich. WOOLWICH GARRISON, JVLY 18. The Royal Horse Artillery, under Lieutenant-Colonel 8011, the 17th Lancers, under Lieutenant-Colonel Law reason, and the 9 and 12-pounder and Light 6-pounder Field Batteries, under Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson, assembled at ten o'clock A.M. on the Common, and took up a position in line, two troops of Lancers on the right of the Royal 'Horse Artillery, two troops on the left, flanked by the 9 and 12 -pounder Heavy Batteries gun ners dismounted, the Field Batteries on the left of the line, with two troops of Lancers on the extreme left. Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downmau, C. 8., arrived on the ground at a quarter before eleven o'clock, and took the command of the whole of the troops, and was accompanied by Colonel Campbell, Colonel Crutten den, Lieutenant-Colonel Thorndike, Brigade-Major Bingham, Captain Tylden, and several of the adj utants , of battalions. At e l even o ' clock the Duke ofHolstein and his aon,zaccompanied by Lord Bruce, arrived at the barracks, and being mounted, were accompanied by Lieutenant-Colonel Brereton, C. 8., K.H., to the Com mon, whore his Grace was received by Lieutenant-Ge neral Sir Thomas Downman, commandant of the garri son. The troops were then inspected by the Command ant and his staff, riding down from right to left. On the Lancers on the right and left joining those in the centre,:the troops and batteries marched to the upper part of the Common. The Field Batteries then ad vanced under Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson, and made some excellent mareauvres, and kept up a good independent firing in each fresh position. The Lancers subsequently advanced under Lieutenant-Colonel Law reason, and wont through their evolutions in admirable style, finishing with a splendid charge across the Com mon. The Royal Horse Artillery afterwards went through their various marcauvres with a celerity-and precut() • n which was the admiration of all present. Their finishing charge was splendid when their guns wore masked by the cavalry, and they concluded by opening out from right to left, and coming into action, the centre troop dismounting the guns from the carriages, while the two flank troops kept up an independent fire. They then formed close columns on the original ground, and advancing some distance at a walk, the bands playing a march, they halted, and the Duke of Holstein rode for ward with the Lieutenant-General, to express his grati fication at all he had,witnesscd, the band playing the Na tional Anthem. The distinguished party then proceeded to the mcssroom of the Royal Military Barracks, where they partook of an elegant dejetiner, and at two o'clock went to the mortar battery, where three rounds were fired from each of the howitzers and mortars, and con cluded with a salvo from the seven mortars. His Grace then proceeded with Brigade-Major Bingham to visit the Rotunda and. Repository grounds. The other visitors expected did not arrive to-day, and there is therefore a general impression that a grand review will shortly take place in the garrison.

NEWSPAPERS.—There is no book so cheap as a newspaper, none so interesting, because it consists of a va riety, measured out in suitable proportions as to time and quality. Being new every week or day, it invites to a habit of reading, and affords an easy and agreeable mode of acquir ing knowledge, so essential to the welfare of the individual and the community. It causes many an hour to pass away pleasantly and profitably, which would otherwise have been spent in idleness, if not mischief. rADvERTISEMENT.:I—THE EARL OF A.LDBOROI3OI/ AND IlonnowAY's Puns.—An astounding cure by this miraculous medicine, arter every other means had failed.

Thine ancient name all tongues proclaim The watchword of the Free: Where'er the flag of Liberty Is righteously unfurl'd, There London is;—her mighty heart Beats through the civil world. Then ho! for London, bravo and high, Which she shall ever be, While Justice rules within her walls, And Honour guides the Free. Of conquering Peace the pioneers Her dauntless merchants are; Her ships are found the world around, Her Lona 'neath every star. Her sheltering tree of Liberty Spreads hourly more and more; Its roots ran under every era, It blooms on every shore. Unfading youth, untarnished truth, Great London! bide with thee; Of cities,— Queen, supreme, serene, The leader• of the Free. In days of dread, she boldly stood Undaunted, though alone, To guard with might tile people's right Invaded by the Throne; And yet when civil fury raged, And Loyalty took wing, Iler gallant bands, with bows and brands, Defended well their King. Then ho! for London, Might and Right, With her, twin brothers be; To curb with Right the despot Might, Exalting still the Free! The wandering King of crown bereft, The Patriot, lone, exiled; Alike find refuge and repose Where Freedom ever smiled; And evermore she spreads her store The exile to maintain, And what has been her pride before, Shall be her pride again. Then ho! for London, Ward and Guard To all who refuge seek; A terror to the tyrant strong, A shelter to the weak. And now within her Ancient Halls, Where Freemen ever stand, Sho welcomes men from every clime, With open heart and hand; She welcomes men of every creed, The brave, the wise, the good; And bids all nations form indeed A noble brotherhood. Clasped hand in hand, lot all mankind Like loving brothers be; From pole to pole, let every soul United be—and free. RAILWAY RETURNS TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. NAME OF RAILWAY. BRITISH.
