Guizot has just address ed a long letter to each of the five classes of the In stitute, declaring that he will net accept the candi dateabip for the Superior Council of Public Instruc tion, which had been offered to him. M. Guizot founds his refusal on the character of the law : it will, be says, "light up anew the quarrels which it is desired to extinguish, and will lower the moral in fluence of the government." SPAIN. The Espana and _Heraldo of Madrid (both semi official journals) of the 10th state that the English Government ha 4 recently taken pains to draw closer the friendly relations with Spain, and with reference to the Cuban affair in particular, has given proof of it 3 friendly feelings. RUSSIA. A letter from Posen, of the Bth, states that cholera and fevers had made great ravrges among the Rus sian troops stationed in Poland. In consequence, a great number of men had to be sent from the towns to the country. It was reported that what 18 called the white plague had also broken out among the troops and country people. ITALY. General Pfanzelter, Austrian commandant of An cona, has issued a notification, inserted at length in the Giornale di Roma of the stb, regulating the competence of the military and civil tri bunals of the Marches. The Giudizio Statario, or severer kind of court-martial, which can pronounce no other punishment but death, takes cognizance of all acts of high treason, of de tention of arms, participation in insurrections with or without arms, illegal enrolments, the resistance to sentinels, patrols, and any Austrian or Pontifical soldier, supposing that the sentinel or patrol have not exercised their right of firing upon those who have molested them, &c.

All other transgressions are left to the cognizance of the Ponti fical tribunals. DEATH OF MRS. GLOVER. We regret to learn that this late venerable and cele brated actress died last night, after a short illness. It will be recollected that on Friday evening last, when Abe took her farewell benefit at Drury-lane Theatre, she was scarcely able to go through the character of Mrs. Malaprop, in the Rinah, arising from constitutional de bility; and that in some of the scenes she re- nired personal support. For a few days previously she had been suffering from severe indisposition, and it was even doubted whether she would be enabled to make her final appearance on the stage on the night fixed upon for that event. She, however, succeeded in bidding a last farewell to her theatrical friends and patrons, since which she has been gr,eduslly declining, and as we have said, expired at her residence last night. The gentle men who formed themselves into a committee to raise a fund for Mrs. Glover succeeded in gathering 1,000/., in dependently of the money derived from the benefit of Friday last.

For auction 1,200 pkgs Tallow are advertised. OILS.—The market has a firm appearance for Seal Oil, and a good business has been concluded in pale 1 at 311 to 32/ per tun. Other kinds are sought after at 291 103 to 301 10s, but there is yet a small supply. The stock of Cod is light, and 341 lOs must be paid before any business is settled.

Lord EGLINTON presented several petitions from places in Scotland against the Marriage Affinity Bill. Lord LONSDALE presented a petition from West moreland against the Coal Inspectors Bill. Lord BEAUMONT presented a petition from the : d d a e, of in praying c favour o Liverpool G uar di an S oc i ety f or t h e P rotect i on o f T tinhemironLoosf.rtdhlehhiCepioutontasCsouitrtsasE it epnasisretißiihlle House ßill, a petitioners were opposed to the concurrent jurisdiction clause. The Earl of ETLB L E EN K B Y O B R E O R U P G A II SS seeing the Noble Marquis the Lord. President i n his place, wished to ask him if Governme n t b a d rece i ved as dispatchto the b e r Pass ln India i that sof i t on the subject of the late ex pedition The Marquis of LANSDO W N E r e p lied dispatch had been received, b u t there were p oni o n such ta which he did not think it would be advisable to lay be fore the House. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH okected to its being produced in a mutilated form , as such a co urse was cal culated to produce much misapprehension. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE'S answer was in audible in the gallery. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH hoped the Noble Marquis would read the dispatch himself, and decide. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE would read the dis pa'ch himsel£ The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH would be perfectly satisfied if the Noble Marquis would do so. TEE RETRENCHMENT MOVEMENT. Lord BROUGHAM said he rose to ask the Noble Marquis whether the office filled by the late Sir Thomas M o t o h o a /. t ariable, and the salary of which wasl, a year, had been filled up. He understoodgreat reductions were in contemplation in se v e ral important breeches of the public service. It was, he understood, in contemplation to reduce the salaries of our Foreign Ambassadors to such an extent as was abso lutely imcompatible with a due regard to the interests cf, the country. At the same time he understood that it was in contemplation to reduce the salaries of all persons connected with the judicial establishments of thf I country, in order, he supposed, to bring the same ruin upon our domestic affairs which the first•named reduction would bring upon our foreign affairs. It was desirable if ill-judgel retrenchment was the order of the thy. that it should take place throughout—that it should commence at the top, and that no rank in the country should he exempt from retrenchment. He would give notice that he should, on Thursday, move that a humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying her Majesty that she will be graciously pleased to be caused to be laid before the House an account stating the amount of savings made in the civil list sine.) 1833, diringuishing each year. and the savings made in each year. lie knew that there was a bargain made with the Crown at the cornmercemirit of each reign; but that bargain was made upon the supposition that things would remain nearly in their then position, and if retrenchment to.,k place in any department of the public service, why should it net take place in all? It was painful to him to add another ob:ervatit.n, which, however, he felt himself compelled to make. If any person should say, as had been said to the late Duke of Cambridge, and been by him repudiated with indignation—if any one should dare to say that the time had arrived for lowering the English aristocracy, then he would say that the person so speak ing was guilty of the greatest imaginable folly, fur that Parliament had resolved that the English aristocracy should not be lowered—(Hear, hear)—but the English aristocracy would be lowered if such things were per mitted to pass as were now passing. A lady of the very highest rank, who was neatly and intimately con nected with Dukes and Marquises, had been reduced to the humiliatir g necessity of advertising for employment. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the office alluded to had been filled up by the ap pointment of a most meritorious functionary but from the low tone in which the Noble Marquis spoke it was impossible to catch the name of the person so appointed, neither can we be certain whether or not the name was mentioned. The Marquis tf WESTMINSTER, who spoke :in a very inaudible tone, was understood to say that the lady alluthd to had bf en appointed to some sittrition. Lord BROUGHAM had understood that the appoint ment had been made but not confirmed. LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL. Lord PORTMAN, in moving the second reading of this Bill, which came from the House of Commons, observed that it had been introduced for the purpose of improving the relations between landlord and tenant. The only difference between this Bill and the one which was proposed last session consisted in its being extended to Ireland. The object of the Bill was to permit tenants for life to make agreements which would be binding on their heirs and successors; and though perm a~i~ e in one sense it Ras not so in another. Lord BEAUMONT observed that though this was called a permissive measure, it was only so in regard to those who would profit by it, while it was compulsory on those who succeeded the tenant who made an ar rangement under the Bill. There was not a single pro vision in it which could be commended, and believing that it would be injurious to the interests it was pro posed to benefit he would move that it be read a second time this day six months. Lord BROUGHAM opposed the second reading a the Bill. Lord MONTEAGLE said whatever legislation it pleased their Lordships to introduce on this subject in relation to England, the people of Ireland were willing and ready to accept in relation to the latter country. He objected, however, to the power given in a Bill on their Lordship's table, which enabled a tenant for life to grant leases for ninety-nine years of the estate which was settled upon him. . After a word or two in explanation from Lord BROUGHAM, The Bill was thrown out. LIVERPOOL WATER-WORKS BILL—BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. The Earl of EGLINTOUN called the attention of the House to a petition complaining of the mode in which signatures had teen obtained in Liverpool to petitions a,;..ainst the Bill introduced for the purpose of giving a better supply of water to Liverpool. His Lordship referred to the statements of several persons to show that a great number of fictitious names had been added to those petitions, and that several indi viduals had been employed to go about the town to procure signatures. His Lordship, after allud ing to the serious nature of the proceedings in question, moved that Mr. Joseph Byrne, Mr. Joseph Hind, and Mr. Duncan M'Arthur should be called before the bar of their Lordships' House. Lord LANSDOWNE thought the House was much indebted to the Noble Lord for bringing the subject under its attention, as there was no greater abuse of its privileges than that of forging names to petitions, and he should cordially second the motion of the Noble Lord. After a few words from Lord MONTEAGLE and Lord STANLEY, the motion was agreed to, and the three par ties mentioned above were ordered to be brought to the bar on Friday next. ELECTIONS (IRELAND) BILL. The House then proceeded to consider the report on this Bill, and was (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve. CONSIDERATION OF LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' amendments to the Wolverhampton Water works Act (Amendment and Extension of Works) Bill were considered and agreed to. THE SUN, LONDON, THIRD RE A DING. The Belfast Improvement Bill was read a third time and passed. AMENDED BILLS. The following Bills, as amended, were considered and agreed to: — Commercial Gas Company and Poplar Gas Light COM. pany. Earl of Shrewsbury and Grace's Trustees' Estate. MERCANTILE MARINE BILL. The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Mc rcantile Marine Bill; Mr. Bernal in the chair. Clauses 28 and 29 were agreed to with a for verbal amendments. On clause 30 being put, Mr. ANDERSON moved, pursuant to notice, that so much of the Bill as provided that the engagement and discharge of teamen should be made in the pretence and under the superintendence of shipping masters should be omitteJ. Mr. LABOUCUERE said that the question had been discussed in Committee 3 est..q.day, and be trusted , there fore, that he would not persevere. The course he had determined to pursue had nut been decided on without great consideration. _ _ _ After some observations frem Mr. Moffatt, Mr. Ri cardo, and Mr. Wil.Wl3, Mr. ANDERSON withdrew his amendment, stating at the same time that he would seek to introduce it at a subsequent stage of the Bill. The clause was then ordered to stand Fart of the Bill. Clause 31 was agreed to. Clause 32 was struck out. On clause 33 being read, which provides for the print ing of the necessary " forms " to be used under the Act, Mr. WA VVN expressed a hope that the ship owners and sailors were not to be inconvenienced by the forms of indenture and other agreements as they had been under the former Acts. Be had known cases where apprentices' indentures bad been reused to be registered by the proper authorities, in consequence of their being written instead of printed, although the in dentures were in strict conformity with the form pre scribed by the Act. Lie would suggest that printed copies of the forms should be lodged with the clerks of petty sessions, in order to Le readily accessible to all parties concerned. The-clause wes t eventually agreed to as it, stoc , ed..-_ Clruses irom to 48 inclusfve were agreed toivitfi some verbal amendments. Mr. RICAIWO proposed that clause 49, giving com pensation to the sailor in the event of his being dis charged during the voyage', should be postponed. Mr. LABOUCHERE opposed the motion. The gantry was cleared for a division, but none took place. After some further discussion, in which Mr. Pawn, Mr. Cardwell, Lord John 3Sanners, Mr. Foster, and others took part, The Committee divided, when there appeared— For the postponement ... 19 Against it ... 48 Majority _ ... —29 Some further discussion having taken place, Mr. LABOUCHERE said he thought he should save time if he postponed the clause, and trusted, if he did so, that the discussion would not be prolonged. The clause was then postponed. Clause 50 was agreed to with any discussion. Oa clause 51 being proposed, Mr. MOFFATT moved an amendment, to the effect that . the system of advance notes should be discontinued. Mr. LABOUCHERE said he would not undertake to discontinue the system of advance notes which, in many cases, were indispensible, as they enabled the sailor to procure the requisite necessaries for his voyage, and to make some provision for his wife and family previous to sailing. Admiral BOWLES suggested that his amendment would meet the difficulty, which was that no advance note should be given for any sum exceeding in amount one month's wages. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that arrangement might work very well on short voyages, but not with respect to those of long duration. Mr. DUNCAN observed that such a limit would be unjust to the sailor, who went on a voyage to the Arctic Regions or to the East Indies. Mr. FOSTER thought the system of granting ad vance notes should be more circumscribed, as it gave rise to many of the most improvident marriages which were contracted by sailors. The gallery was cleared for a division, but none took Place. The amendment having been withdrawn, The clause was agreed to, as was also clause 52. Clause 55, which provides for the proper and conve nient construction and ventilation of the sailors' berths, was agreed to after a short desultory conversation, as were also clauses 56 and 57. Clauses 58 and 59, which provide for the keeping an efficient stock of good medicine on board each ship for the use of the sailors, were also agreed to. Clauses 60 and 61, providing for a certain space being allowed to each berth on board ship, were agreed to. The House . then resumed, and the CHAIRMAN re ported ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE—THE LATE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. Mr. SCOTT moved that the House should now ad journ until to-morrow as a mark of respect to the de pat ted worth of the late Duke of Cambridge. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that he would have wished that some intimation had been given by the Hon. Mem ber of his intention to move this; however, he thought it would be better to postpone the motion until five o'clock. when there would be a larger House. Mr. SCOTT, however, intimating his unwilli ngness to accede to this tb v. eHouse ultimately ad iourneduntilto proposition , -morrowatT T w elve. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governor of Gibraltar. JERSEY, JULY 14.—Wind E.—Sld. Pallas, Newfound [and. .

EXETER, MONDAY.—TbiS year—the twelfth which bas been marked by one of the great rural festivals annually got up by the Royal Agricultural Society —that distinguished body have pitche I their tent in Exeter, and called upon the farmers of the far west, of Devon, Somerset, and Dorset, to participate in bucolic business and amusement ; and the summons seems likely to be heartily and universally responded to. Already Exeter is overflowing with fast•coming guests. Already the announcements of numberless extraneous attractions are glittering in many-hued placards from every corner and wall. Already, in fact, there is as much animation, as much bustle, ten times as many flags, and twenty times as many tri umphal arches in any one of its gay and French-like streets, as was exhibited last year throughout the whole of the grey and venerable, though somewhat mouldy, city of Norwich. I shall have other oppor tunities than in these few preliminary lines of sketching a few of the picturesque and characteristic features of the " ever faithful " city ; but I may say at once that it is as gay and brilliant as numberless flags, devices, arches, and floral and sylvan decorations can make it, and that there is every appearance of settled, bright, and sunny weather to light up the rural beauties of the garden of England. The usual routine of the society's operations have been this year somewhat altered. The council dinner at the last show was felt to be a most dismal failure, and it will therefore be this year entirely dispensed with ; one grand general banquet, to be held in the pavilion, being substituted for the twin festivities of yore. The other arrangements for the most part hold good after the old fashion. The judges are busy in the show yard receiving and arranging stock ; and at six o'clock to-morrow evening, members of the council and governors of the society will be admitted to the implement yard. On Wednesday the public in general share that privilege, and in the afternoon the favoured few will be allowed to visit the cattle. In the evening Professor Simmond's lectures on the liver complaints of domesticated animals. On Thurs day the cattle and implement yards will both be open, and the grand dinner will take place; and on Friday, after the usual meeting of members of the so ciety, who will assemble in the Guildhall, Mr. Tur ner and Sir Thomas Dyke Acland will receive and explain to all agricultural corners the uses and con struction of certain " catch meadows" and " water meadows at Barton and Killerton—places in the vicinity of Exeter. Witb this the business of the society closes. The blank upon Wednesday evening will be filled up by a grand ball in the pavilion, at which almost all the county notabilities, the most distinguished members of the society and their guests will be pre sent, and the occasion is expected to be a very gay and a very brilliant one—even for Exeter. Be-ides this ball there will be unnumbered minor entertain ments out-door and in. The Exeter Oratorio So ciety, assisted by some metropolitan celebrities, and Miss Catherine Hayes, locally announced as the " Prima donna of her Majesty's Theatre," will per form the Creation. Furthermore, there will be divers horticultural shows, concerts, balloon ascents, fireworks, and other devices, to add to the general pleasures of the week. A peculiar feature of the occasion, and one very much deprecated, as I understand, by many of the leading members of the society, is a dinner—a po litical and Protectionist dinner—to be given on Friday, in a pavilion erected for the purpose, to no less a person than Mr. F. G. Young, under the presidency of Sir J. Yarde Buller. This enter tainment, although technically distinct from and un connected with the proceedings of the society, can hardly be viewed in utter isolation from the latter. It is said that the Duke of Richmond will be pre sent, and that many of the practical speakers of Thursday will be the political haranguers of Friday. Any event which would have the effect of mixing up a purely agricultural society with party politics is, in the opinion of the principal members of the Royal Agricultural Society, much to be deplored, and, accordingly, efforts—unsuccessful efforts, I re great to say—have been made by the heads of the party to put an end to the convulsive caperings of the tail. As usual the good folks of the locality are doing their best in the way of emptying the pockets of visitors. The hotels have been engaged for weeks. In some instances, the inmates of houses have let them from the roof to the cellar to speculators, and have gone away holiday-ising with the profits ; while the general tariff of first-floor fronts and two-pair backs is positively alarming. The delicate nerves of the cab-owners and fly-drivers have received a terrible shock from the sudden irruption of a caravan of coaches, omnibuses, and vehicles of all descriptions, from Birmingham and other 'cute northern towns, in the plying whereof the local Jehus foresaw an awful come-down in the scale of fares. However, they raised a gallant cry of " Protection to local industry l" with which they laid siege to the civic authorities, and that so successfully, that the Wan% ickshire ad venturers, being absolutely refused the necessary li cences, were constrained to drive their vehicles home again with fleas in their ears. But if local industry was thus triumphant, native industry received an alarming upset in the appear ance of M. Soyer, who is to provide and get up the great Pavilion dinner ! All the purveyors of Exeter flew to arms. What I were they to be set aside— native industry compelled to give way to foreign—a Frenchman to set dainty dishes before the Marquis of Downshire and a hungry assemblage of true British farmers ! The sensation was almost revolutionary. It was said that the agricultural interest was betrayed once again. And when M. Soyer appeared in a pre liminary tour of observation, he saw nothing but scowls in all the Faithful City. However, the Gas tronomic Regenerator is a diplomatist. He knew the peculiar sort of soft words which turn away wrath ; and, accordingly, when the Exeter tradespeople found that the whole of the raw material was not to come from London, or, still worse, from " f ore i gn par t s ," but that M. Soyer was going from s h op t o s h op pur chasing unheard-of quantities of be e f, mu tt on , l am b, and fowls, their virtuous indignation cooled consider ably; kill as furthermore the "Regenerator" gave, according to a local paper, the "first price asked" for all he bought, the popular estimate of his character suddenly changed , .and "the F renchman at the Sub scription Rooms" is at this m oment a b out the most popular personage in Exeter, where he expects to produce great effect upon the agricultural palate by Pates it la Suer and...S:qlades a la Nayenese. Much regret is - expressed at the sad death of the Duke of Cambridge, who was to hav'e been present. The French and American Amb ssadors are, however, expected ; and dwellers by the Exe are in great hopes of being . able to a d m i re the swarthy visages and diamond aigrets of their Highnesses of Nepaul. INVERNESS GREAT SIIEEP AND WOOL FAIR. (From the Inverness Courier.) The market here, looked forward to with so much in terest and anxiety, as involving the whole year's comfort and prosperity of a large body of our hill farmers and others, besides regulating the prices in all the inferior markets, commenced yesterday, and may now be said to have terminated. TUESDAY EVENING, JULY l6, 1850. when, having confirmed the by-low, and completed the appointment, the power of the ratepayers to object to rush appointment, under the Act 11 and 12 Victoria, chap. 112, had expired? 2. Upon what authority, written or verbal, th© Me tropolitan Conarnhisiorers of Sewers changed the narre of the individual originally announced as Mr. Frank Foster into Mr. F, ank Forster? 3. Whether the name appendtd to the return (see sional paper No. 481, of session 1850) as Francis For ster, engineer, is that of the person originally announced as Mr. Frank Foster, and subsequently designa - ed by the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers as Mr. Frank Forster? 4. Whether the engineer to the Metropolitan Com missioners of Sewers is the same person as the Mr. Francis Forster who valued the Comgreve property at the request of James Henry Shears, and whose di-posi tions, as a witness, appear at page 77 of the appeal case of " Small v. Attwooel," in the house of Lords? Lord EBRINGTON stated that the name of the en gine r to the Metropolita❑ Commissioners of Sewers was Forster, and not Foster; that he had been appointed on the recommendation of Mr. Stevenson and Sir H. De la B..clie, and that he was the same gentleman whose depositions as a witness appeared in the appeal case of " Small v. Attwond." ATTORNEYS' CERTIFICATE BILL. Lord R. GROSVENOR moved the second reading of this Bill. Mr. BASS seconded the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion, and moved that the Bi.l be read a second time that day three months. In all probability, every Hon. Gentleman then present had received a circular letter, signed by every attorney and solicitor in her Ma jesty's dominions, in favour of repealing this tax, and if they were prepared t r give their votes under that descrip tion of solicitation and pressure, then, of course, they would consent to the second reading of the Bid; but he for one would not believe that the House of Commons was thus to be acted upon. If he were about to impose the tax in question, doubtless, he should be bound to show good reasons for doing so; but, on the other hand, when it was proposed to repeal a tax which returned so large a sum as 100,000/. to the public revenue, those who supported its repeal should show in what the impost was objectionable. This tax had existed for 50 years; up to the present year it had been paid without mur muring, and no adequate reason had been given why it should of all others be now selected fur repeal. This was only one of a considerable number of licences which were issued fur the purpose of raising revenue from persons carrying on different professions. There were not less than 35 classes of persons who were subjected to a licensing duty, and unless the House was prepared to say that it would, put an end to the system of raising revenue by means of licences, and was prepared to sacrifice 1,200,000/. a year, which was the amount at present raised by that means, he knew not upon what grounds they could be called upon to repeal this parti cular tax. He did not intend any disrespect to the learned profession in mentioning other cases who paid a licensing duty, but there were bankers, auctioneers, and others who were subjected to it, and if the House re pealed this individual tax, he asked were they prepared to refuse to extend the same relief to theta? No doubt it was a very painful thing to say " no" to a personal friend when he came forward and asked the repeal of a duty—(A laugh)—but unfortunately, from the position which he occupied, it was a duty which he had frequently to perform, and a disagreeable duty it was.—(Another laugh.) - Let Honourable Gentlemen remember that they were sent there to act not upon personal considerations, and that it was no less their duty, as well as his, to say "no " to a personal - request of this kind, unless - upon public grounds a case could be made out for the repeal of this duty. He would put it to them was this the question of a tax upon consumption? Was it a tax upon property? Or was it the case of a body of men who were suffering under any particular distress or pressure? The number of persons who applied for admission into this profession was yearly increasing; and he presumed that it was so because upon the whole they made a sufficient livelihood out of it. The present measure applied only to attorneys in England; but there were parties in Scotland and Ire land, also, who were entitled to a - similar remission. He held in his hand a letter which he had received from a notary, who said that he conceived himself to be as much entitled to the remission of the duty he was called upon to pay as an attorney. If this duty were removed ho (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) did not believe that the public would derive the advantage of a general re duction of attorneys' charges, and he observed that the attorneys themselves had proposed to increase the fee paid to the Law Institution for certificates of registration from Is. 61. to 10s. If the House was prepared to give up so much revenue he thought there were many other taxes which were much more objectionable, and the re mission of which would be attended with greater advan tage to the country. Upon these grounds he proposed his amendment. Mr. MULLINGS (amidst cries of " Divide") said the Right Hon. Gentleman had compared the annual certificate of solicitors with the licences of bankers, auc tioneers, and other persons; but it should be remem bered that when a young man was articled to an attor ney he bad to pay 1201. for the stamp, when admitted he had another stamp duty to pay amounting to 25/, and sometimes a premium amounting to 500 guineas. The case of an attorneywas not parallel, therefore, to the case of a banker - or an auctioneer.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. MUNTZ objected altogether to taxes upon trade, and was therefore - opposed to the duty on attorneys' certificates. It was on that ground be should vote for the Bill. Mr. GOULBURN said that the observations of the llor. Gentleman (Mr. Muntz) presented a sound reason why the House should pause before they gave their as sent to the Bill. The lion. Member was averse to any tax upon trade, and was therefore prepared to give up a million of revenue. He (Mr. Goulburn) would resist the repeal of this tax on the ground that there was no thing that more imperilled the sources cf the public re venue of the country than that parties should thus come forward to seek the repeal of certain taxes, which were small in amount certainly, but the repeal of which involved a principle that rendered it impos sible to maintain an adequate revenue. For instance, because the stamp duties on legal proceedings were re pealed, it was now asked to abolish the attorneys' certifi cate duty. Mr. BRIGHT had formerly voted for the Bill, be cause he thought that by so doing he was aiding in the relief of a body who were oppressed by a heavy tax ; but he had found since that there was a great difference of opinion among attorneys themselves on the matter, though the greater number certainly were of opinion that the tax ought to be taken off. Ile agreed with the Hon. Member (Mr. Muntx) that the taxes on trade were of a ♦ery obnoxious character, and that the attor neys' certificate duty stood upon the same ground ; but as all those taxes would be made the subject of revision next year, he should vote with Government on the pre sent occasion, on the ground that this tax should be in cluded in that general revision, Colonel SIBTHORP attributed the Ben. Member's change of opinion to his looking for a place from the Government. After a few words from Lord R. GROSVENOR in reply, The House divided, when there appeared, Eor the second reading ... 139 For the amendment ... 122 Majority „„ The Bill was accordingly read a second time, and ordered to be committed. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION BILL. The House went into Committee on this Bill, Mr. BERNAL in the chair. On the 15th elausr., Sir B. HALL inquired upon what data the salaries of bishops and archbishops were fixed? He found that the salary of the Bishop of Oxford was fixed at 5,0001. a year, and yet that in ono instance he received 5,8741. Lord J. RUSSELL said the principle on which the Ecclesiastical Commissioners appointed the sums that were allotted as salaries to the bishops was, that instead of settling a fixed payment yearly, they took a certain period of years, according to the returns laid before them, and directed certain p a y ments to b e made such as on the average of those years would produce the allotted sum, so that in some years the amount paid them might exceed, and in some fall short of the salary named for them. The object of the present clause was to make an entirely new arrangement, so that the bishop should receive the exact amount of his salary—neither more nor less. Sir J. GR &HAIL was glad of the introduction of the clause; for, prospectively, it would be a very great im provement. With respect to the Bishop of Oxford, as his name had been introduced, he wished, in conformity with a request from that Right Rev. Prelate, to offer an explanation of some circumstances which had been ad verted to on a former occasion. The Bishop of Oxford, on being appointed to his see, was informed that he could hold no preferment in ammendam, but should reside constantly in his diocese, having no other preferment. The five preceding bishops in the see had held extensive preferments in commendam, and very seldom resided in their diocese. The episcopal residence at Cuddesdon had in the interim been destroyed ; and some outlay being necessary to render it habitable for the bishop, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners gave the bishop 3,5001. for the purpose, and a further sum of 1,3004 to remove a public-house that was in the gardens of Cuddesdon— in all 4,8001.; in addition to which the bishop laid out a further sum of 1,600/. upon buildings. lie then asked the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to make a further aci‘ Vance, but they refused, expressing a wish that he , should go to Queen Anne's Bounty Fund for the 1,600 h, which he did, and for that sum he now paid interest out of his own ptivate resources. lie could assure the Hon. Member there had been no extravagance whatever in the outlay upon the episcopal residence. With respect to the arrangement which made the payment of the bishops contingent upon an average of seven years, he thought it very objectionable, and he was de cidedly favourable to giving them a fixed immutable sum, which would be 'be effect of the clause they were now discussing. Mr. GOULBURN, in reference to what had been said on a former occasion with respect to the income of the Bishop of London, read a communication from the Right Rev. Prelate, in which he stated that the sum he had returned was the exact sum that he had received .on the year f o r which he bad made the return. Sir B. HALL said that the amount of income re turned by the Bishop of London for year 1837 was 14 2 910/., and for the year 1843. 1 481 . showing a fill while in the same years the assess. meat o jug' of property 2429 i ; . in Paddington, where the Bishop's property was situated, amounted in the former year to 112,9881, and in the latter to 191,194/, being an increase while the assessment for 1850 amounted t o 3 0 4 f 32 661 , 78,2061.,being an increase of upwards of 230,000/. on the assessment upon property in Paddington, and yet the Bishop of London said there was no increase in his income, which was derived from property in that very parish of Paddington. Mr. GOULBURN said that only one-third of the SHEEP. .The sales commenced on Friday evening, and went on with more spirit than last year.

AMERICAN EXHIBITION OF THE WORKS OF ALL NATIONS, 1852. Proposals fur the transfer to America of selections from our own forthcoming great exhibition of next year have just been submitted to the Commissioners at the City office, in Cheapside. The project is con sidered a bold one, but not less practicable than bold. The American gentlemen who have engaged in it profess to be actuated by motives equally honourable, and almost equally disinterested, with those of the distinguished originators of the London exhibition. The improvement in connexion with manufactures is their first object, and the profits of the exposition are to be given to that American city which will make the most liberal arrangement for its reception. In other relations the undertaking is in• tended to be thoroughly commercial, and strong in ducement is held out to all the European nations by proposing the vast and increasing market of the Trans atlantic continent for the display and competition of their productions. The occasion will, it is calculated, be earnestly embraced by our own manufacturers for impressing their American customers with an increas ing sense of the immense variety and excellence of the prOdnctions of the looms and the lathes, the moulds and the anvils, the chisels and the gravers, and all the other apparatus and implements of the mighty industry of England. '1 he following are extracts from the transmitted documents upon the interesting subject : " In the precis of information that has been received from abroad, published by the Royal Commission, ap peared a short time since the annexes information:- 3 ,IES "UNITED STATES, APRIL " THE AMERICAN MINISTER TO COLONEL REID. " The American Institute of New York is taking steps to promote the objects of the exhibition, and is considered by the British Consul at New York, and by the Governor of that State, as a proper medium of intercourse with the American people. The Governor has suggested to the Legi,lature that all objects intended for the exhibition should pass the canals and railroads free of the usual tolls collected by the State. Mr. John Jay Smith, a virleman of standing and character at Philadelphia, has, with the sanction of the American Government, made a proposal for transferring to the United States, for exhibition there, such portions of the London exhibition as it may be possible to carry over after the termination of the exposition here. He presumes that the Royal Commissioners will consider this plan as an addition to their programme, as the manufacturer would thus have additional inducements to exhibit his skill in two markets, the American being a growing and very important one, where the most expensive goods are now sure of a sale. "THE ADVANTAGES TO THE EUROPEAN MANUFACTURER. "It is for the advantage of the maker that his goods should be seen in a very extensive and growing market, where expensive articles are in demand and of ready sale; it is also the interest of the American consumer to see the goods in his own country, where, if they are superior to the growth and manufacture of that country, a paramount and extensive patronage is sure to follow. To this end the earnest endeavours of the eminent American mer chants who will receive the goods will be em ployed to procure orders from the samples sent, and they will look for repayment of their outlay to this source, and to the usual charge of commission merchants or auctioneers at the close of the sale. A market will thus be opened to a thousand productions a the loom and the anvil, &c., which have not yet penetrated to the lands of the West, or if they have, may not have been universally seen. The goods will be shipped from London by Baring, Brothers, and Co., and to them and other houses reference will be male for the standing of the American merchants into whose hands the mer ch inch: e Rill ge. "C )ICDITIONS. "1. Every article deemed suitable for the American ex potition must bo named or partially described to the American Commissioner, 5, Bank-chambers, Lothbury, London, at as early a day as practicable. This expo sition will take place at one of the principal cities of th. United Statee, as early in the year 1852 as arrangements can b 3 made compatible with the movement. Con signments will be received at any time in 1851. "2. The articles will be exhibited to pay the expenses of the building in which they are exposed, and for the profits of the city which erects it. " 3. The prices of each invoice, where it is so specified, shall be a limit below which the goods shall not be sold, ancl in all cases when it is so expressed the goods shall be returned to Europe in as good condition as tbey are received, without any cost whatever to the owner or agent. . — "4. The charges to the owner will be as small as possible, being the usual ones in case of sale of a com mission-mercbant, with guarantee and immediate cash returns through means of undoubted bills of exchange, and successive cash remittances will be made for all du plicates that may be ordered in America. " 5. Nothing can be received except such results of human industry as are capable of transportation without too great cost, and of being preserved during many months; and, in general, all those articles excluded from the London exposition will not be admitted to the American.

On this subject the American Corn mi-aiener will be qualified to decide." AMERICAN NEWS. By the arrival of the Cambria steamer we have re ceived the New York Tribune of July 3, which contains a lengthened account of the confession of Prufessor Webster of the murder of Dr. Parkwan THE ISLAND OF CUBA. PLYMOUTH, MONDAY.—By the steam-sloop Vixen, 6, Commander R. Jenner, which arrived here on Saturday, having sailed from Havannah on the 14th of June, it appears that outside that harbour she passed two men-of-war, part of the fleet of twenty six Spanish vessels cruising round the island of Cuba. The nearest of them, the frigate Esmeralda, beat to quarters, as an act of discipline, on the approach of an armed ship, and continued, pro forma, ready for action, until the Vixen had passed. The city of Havannah continues under martial law, and from 5,000 to 6,000 militiamen are exercising there daily. The place of descent, the Cardines, selected by the recent American invaders, was the most unfavourable for their enterprise; it is nearly the only place were they were likely to be success fully resisted ; but the disaffected on the island state that this descent is not to be the only one, as 500 ad venturers were at New Orleans perfectly ready to make a second effort, and it is possible ere this that they have left the American shores. They also state that another 500 are at New York prepared to follow the first detachment, and that nearly all the western part of Cuba, with the exception of the city of Ha vannah, is favourable to the invasion, and willing to assist them with money, &c., as soon as they shall have effected a lauding on the island. The American squadron was expected daily.

Why the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers, when on the 23d of November, 1849, they made a by law creating the office of engireer, and charged the rate pay era with the sum of 1,5001. a year fur the salary and travelling expenses of such officer, publicly announced to the ratepayers that the name of tbe individual whom they had selected was Mr. Frank Foster, and so con titated this designation until the 11th wf January, 1850, increased rent went to the bishop, and two-thirds to the lessees; besides that, all the bishop's r evenue " s not derived from th e P a ddi ng t on estate, bat Folly from fines and partly from rents, and the augmentation of re venue atisirg from an i nc rease in one - thir d ad tie ground-rcnts would not be sufficient to cover the eft• cieney arsi .. ng under other sources of reven ue. The Hon. Gentleman said that the secretary of the Ecclesias tical Commission stated that the re:urns of the incomes of bishops were fallacious ; undoubtedly they vi ere, in the sensemeant by the secretary, namely, as the basis (4 8 fixed ineotne. Th a t i n di v id ua l meant to cast no slu r upon the accuracy of the returns; for which he (Il r ' Goulburn) pledged his honour. the Sir B. HALL said his argument with respe ct to Bishop of Oxford was th a t ho received a Olga for re'. building his ecclesiastical residence, and cbarge d interest on it. Mr. lIUME said there was a resolution of the House that .bishops should have a fixed and unvariable income. and he de:ired to know why it had not been carried cut. Lord J. RUSSELL said, there was nothing to tb i t eft', ct in the Act of Parliament. It was, however, wb:: he proposed in the present clause —making it i n l er t h e Live on the Commissioners to fix the income bishops at a certain sum. With respect to the paia c . o of the bishops, it would be for the Comm isioners make a provision for keeping them up. I t Was ' "vr id ever, unfortunate that the ecclesiastical reside nces sheu be called palaces. Mr. HUME suggested that the decisions of the Eccice: siastical Commissioners should be suljecte d to the r vision of the Treasury, as regarded the latter boner l d expenditure—that on palaces for the bishop& "" be a cheek on them calculated to inspir e dence. o f the The clause was . then ordered to stand part Bill. public con On clause 16, Sir G. GREY stated that certain amendments w ere proposed on this clause, having reference to the dear,et erics of Salisbury and Wells, giving the incumb e nts c 4 increase of income. the Sir B. HALL could never discover what were a duties cf deans, or why English deans g ot from 1,0°,,„, 1 to 1,5004 a year, whilst Welsh deans only received 7o.ovo" a year. He moved, therefore, that the stun in V est ' A —that proposed by the Government—should bleonrge to 7001. a year. The Hon. Baronet read deans who were non-resident, and who, consequently, tr. argued could not discharge any of the duties of lh h e a l ! office, if duties there were. He believed. h ow ever, t , 1 there were no duties, and that the office was me re/ honorary. Lord J. RUSSELL said the deans were only ] e ft it possession of the incomes secured to them by Ac t 0 Parliament, and the Hon. Baronet was not called t r ., to pay anything. Deans were part of the ecclesias ,_,. l d i l e et Of establishment, and were useful in presiding over : e e r y I chapter. He (Lord John Russell) should, hol e o h; I propose that all deans hereafter to be appointed sue_ * Ibe unable to hold benefices . for the cure of souls er,..; further distance than 'three miles from their dee ve i r 's and that after the lapse of six months all persons p isented to deaneries should give up such prefermentbi„ ! Mr. S. HERBERT was not satisfied that the J 4 `_', b l o • Lord had taken the best course to effect a eiestra_te object. He thought it would be better to contrer to the deans from a parochial or particular fund (Dem. ° , allow them to hold pluralities for the six ' Wattle P' posed. . Mr. HUME said the question raised was antn3Petrott one. It deans were of no real use they „ "g" w hich. abolished. Why give away 1,0 001 . a year tor that. e , to was superfluous, and bad no essential d uties attach " the appointment? Sir B. HALL said it bad been understood ths:bl3o° dean was to hold a living if that living wags er % in three miles from his deanery. Now, he bab ee ee ted ' formed that the Dean of Bristol had recently P e r es e elei himself to a living in his own gift which was t a _u' rige . . distant from his deanery. To comply with the art."), it ment to which he bad referred, the Dean of Bristo l, 0 was understood, intended,to exchange this living,. thr ee piece of preferment within the specified distance o f three et miles. As this was, in his opinion, the Act, he begged to know whether the No . 14 would take any steps in the matter? ale o f Lerd J. RUSSELL said, with respect to the s aid, the Dean of Hereford, that, as he had already. . i% a palpable eVA f ord would be settled by the living being vacated wit hi ? , i l e months. As to the case of the Dean of Br i ' t° e 'seld know nothing of the circumstancee, and therefore isuo",, not say what ought to be done. If, h o wever, the c ., no d passed, no dean would be able to hold a living uvi- the six months if it were more than three miles from deanery. ed. Sir B. HALL said his question had not been Anse t he- He wanted to know the Noble Lord's opinion o_eir, proceedings on the part of the Dean of Bristol, oewerti• whether he considered an evasion of the Act WI zn ., t oe tated by the dean presenting himself with a iiv a3 „ l ",ing miles from his deanery , and then afterwards each it for a living within three miles? • Lord J. RUSSELL knew nothin o f the circunasteno7o; All, however, he could do was to take car e that t he v ile. of Bristol held no living that was more than three febat from the deanery. It was not in his powe r to sa1: 1 01 ought to be done, as be kne w not hi ng about th e e '' r arrangement. Mr. P. WOOD could not consent to the ah eli e ti e ld i the deans altogether. He thought there were gr a c e efs se e rious t mployments in prayers and Church serr e f",:ber fi f lent to cccupy the deans, although the Roo. e ,_*" , or Montrose might think those duties niportep.; of Mr. HUME said, if deans did nothing, uni and i n -e , no use, he would have them swept awayaltoget u r e e'tr i ; O . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEB to the case of the Dean of Ripon, instanced V, °it Hall, end I xplained that the case was exceptions" wae Sir B. HALL replied that the dean in questie:°, to obliged to neglect his duties in one direction, or" r lj e r e ide the terms cf the Act, which compelled him t ° , .ba t eight months at his deanery. His objection olts' o f o ill deans in England were to have 1,000/ and cle,hBo-t the' Wales 700/. He should move at a fitting tim e *- rids' salary le reduced to 7001 Nothing created more 0 t he cule, and threw more discredit on the Church , tr It way in which these matters were managed illW i li p . : l6 o ° : was absurd to send deans and bishops to ilv a it et could not speak or read the Welsh latigusg e ' r sb'i impossible to describe the ludicrous and . d ti t s , c e t cl e i t t s tet °. scenes that occurred in consequence of •--- e see things.
