THE S UN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1845. three-fourths of the estimates. The result of these de liberations had induced the Committee to express entire. concurrence in the report of the Committees and that the reduction in the amount of deposits last session, by the House of Commons, had given a facility to frauds like those mentioned in their report. Under all these circumstances, they had come to the decision not to inquire further into the Bill, without further directions from the House. The Earl of BESBOROUGH said the report was a peculiar one, and be thought it better to give a notice respecting it. He should therefore move to-morrow that the Bill be no further proceeded with. PRIVILEGE. Lord BROUGHAM said he had now to state, that having brought forward a statement with regard to the privileges of the House, that he had seen a statement giving an explanation with respect to the report of the newspaper in question, and that their Lordships ought not now to call the reporter before the House, or proceed against the editor of that newspaper. The Noble Earl opposite would forgive him if he said that he never intimated that he wished to do so. They had had too much experience on matters of that sort, and he thought it better to leave him (Lord Brougham) as the ag grieved party to proceed at law by means of a criminal information, if he wished to adopt that course. No doubt he could prosecute; it was no excuse whatever that the matter occurred in the House of Commons, but he had to state that it appeared the statement was made and was published in another newspaper, against which he might proceed, if he pro ceeded at all—namely, the Morning Chronicle, as it had published the same speech in the same words. He therefore should have proceeded against both, or against neither. But he had seen a statement in both of these papers purporting to be this—that the same individual Member of the other House who was represented to have made this un just speech, which no person would pretend to ex tenuate—that some - person was made to say in the same paper, that what he was represented to have said was under an entire misapprehension of the facts—that he was pot present in the Select Conimittee of their Lordships' House, as, not being a member, he could not be, and that he had- been misled by 'the Information which he had received.—( Heat. ) The same individual had stated that the evidence to which: he had referred, had rio reference to the evidence of Mr: Parkes, but to some other 'person, which showed that the "in formation this individual received was entirely incorrect, for there was no other evidence which was not taken'down and repotted to their Lordships, but that of Mr. Parkes. Now, the same individual was stated to have said; sled, he believed, . correctly, that he was exceedingly sorry that his language had given pain to any persons, bit the only pain it had given him was bein g induced to speak upon and to bring the matter before their Lordships. Well, but he regretted it, 'and that being the case he (Lord Broughati) was sure he was anticipating the decision of their Lordships when he suggested that they should not proceed further with the matter.—a(lear, hear). It would then still be open for him to prosecute the publishers of the libel, because it was no protection forf,them even if the language had been 'spoken in Parliament. He could not conceive that the House of Corn. monseholding the doctrine of privilege so high, could have allowed this speech to have passed unnoticed had they heard it,'but he was still more surprised at the statement that the House had al lowed hours to pass away after reading what appeared in the newspapers, before anything was said about it. He could not for his life 'believe for one moment that the statement made in the newspapers had the least foundatiOit in truth, namely, that nobody got up to complain 'of 'what had been printed as having been spoken in their presence—that nobody got up to complain of the grossest libel that was ever published having been spoken in the House Of Commons till late in the day, when the party who uttered it voluntarily got up' to explain it away. The House ought to have at once, and he believed they did; on their first meeting, take the matter into their serious consideration, and he could not conceive it possible that they could have acted in the way represented by the newspapers. One of the papers had to-day ventured; to publish another libel upon him. The Morning Chroniile was pleased to say this morning that he had rendered a great service to the public in throwing out the Dublin and Galway Bill, which he was supposed to have done, but had acted unfairly in prejudicing the Bill be. fore acting upon the Committee. Now, there never was any thiog more gross, nor more slanderous than this, and he said,it was a most flagrant breach of privilege. He would not, however, appeal against it, but leave it' in their Lordships' hands. How eeuld he prejudge the Bill when he was riot a Membet of the Committee, nor had he ever had any thing to do with the Bill, further than inquiring into certain allegations against the promoters; nor, in fact, had it been yet thrown out e' for it had not been reported on to that effect by the Committee. He hoped, before he concluded; he might be allowed Or say one word - upon• the subject of' Members of Parliarnent holding shares in a railway company, and being allowed to vote for its Bill. In 1837, he induced their Lordships to adopt a most ialutary standing order—namely, that no Peer should have anything to de with a Railway Committee who had any con nexion whatever with the railway in question ; and he trusted the same rule was carried out in the other House of Parliament. The Earl of WICKLOW remarked that on the former even ing he suggested that it would be necessary to take steps to call the publisher and reporter of the libel to their Lordships' bar,' but a Noble Duke opposed it, on the ground that them individeali would have to answer questiOns which might eel-• minate themselves. No*that was the last object he had in view. His object was to give the Noble Lord an opportunity of changing the subject from One of privilege to one of a' cri minal character.—The matter then dropped. RUNCORN AND PRESTON BROOK RAILWAY; • Lord CA MO YS brought up the report of the Select Com mittee on this Bill; who had found that the preamble was not proved. i Lord MONTEAGLE would suggest to the Haute that so m e steps should lea taken on the subject of swearing witnesses before railway Committees, instead of the present absurd mode of swearing witnesses after their testimony was given. ' The Duke of WELLINGTON said that some measure was in contemplation on the subject. Lord CAMPBELL said the Commons ought to swear witnesses before their own Committees. 'Witnesses had there pledged theraSelites to facts which even under the sanction of an oath they would be most jealous to revoke. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Lord BROUGHAM moved 'a revolution that an address ~ be; presented to her Majesty, praying that she would he graciously pleased to give directions that the New Houses of Parliament might be ready by the heginning of next session. i - Lord WEI MINCLIFFE opposed the motion. It was quite clear that though a temporary accommodation might be (iv rained, the inconvenience of being surrounded by - worknien and disturbed by noise would more than counterbalance siey advantages which the aeceromodation might afford. Lord Cl MPBELL should support the motion of his Noble Friend. The fiei,h:ne of the Ileuses of Parliament wouldibe emtponed to the Greek Kalend.. The Duke of WELLINGTON begged thit their Lordships would recollect that this was the House of Lords and also e Chamber of Parliament. There must be a 'cominimication between the twollouses, and also care must be taken 'that 'no inconvenience would arise to ber Majesty when Corning t ) open and prorcgue Parliameet. leird CAMPBELL explained. He 'did not mean that her Majesty shield he inconvenienced in the slightest degree. . LOrti SUDELY could not concur" in the proprissy Of the address. It* would tnaterially interfere with the future er ringements of the New Houses. The - Earl of WICKLOW would give his vote for the ed dress of his Noble Friend. If they did not do so, they would be in that House for the next five years. He hoped his Noble Friend would persevere in it. . Lord BROUGHAM saw nothing whatever in the objec tions which were against his motion. A great deal had been said in reference to the inconvenience which the Law 'Lords would sustain by the noise of the masons vvhb would be at work outside, but they were quite willing to un dergo the risk of that noise ; for he was quite sure that the noise made inside ' would • 'drown all ' other clamour.—( A latigh.). If any inconvenience would arise to her Majesty in the epehing of Parliament (which God for bid), he was quite sure that she would graciously. consent to open Parliament by 'commission for one year., There was, however, a most serious question for the Hriuse to consider, and 'unless they adopted the, motion it would not be easy to say, after the delay that had occurred, when they would get into the new Houses of Parliament. The LORD CHANCELLOR then pat the motion, and declared that the non-contents had it. Lord BROUGHAM—The non-contents have it? Their Lordships then divided, when there appeared— Contents. . 16 Non-contents 4O Majority against the motion 24 PAUPER LUNATICS BILL. Lord WHARNCLIFFE moved the second reading of this Bill. He saids althcugh the Bill had emanated from Lord Ashley, it had been brought in under, the auspices of the Go.. vernment, .and must be considered as a Government Bill. Throughoht England there was insufficient. accommodation for lunatics, and many of. the asylums were crowded to excess. In a civilised country like this, they ought to remove at least some of the evils arising from lunatics. That was the object of the present Bill. Sixty out of every hundred of theselunatics could be cured, provided their maladies were attrnded to in time. The others were those who were considered to be in curable. He would move the second reading of the Bill. The Duke, of RICHMOND objected to this Bill, because, if they passed it in its present shape, they would pass a bad measure, but if they sent it to a Select Committee they would pass a better Bill. He had a great suspicion of any Bill that came before them on the ground of humanity. He should like to have the: Poor-law Commissioners brought to the bar of the House,' to tell them .if they had lunatics in their work houses. They had no right to have lunatics in their work., houses. If a lunatic wished he could leave the house at. three hours' notice. It was ridiculous to have them admitted into . workhouses, when it was impossible that they could be •cured there. This Bill .would increase the county-rate to a great extent. He objected to it also for the manner in which the rate was to be levied. The owners of land and not the occu piers should be taxed. He begged that his Noble Friend would reconsider before determining that he would not send the Bill to a. Select Committee. It would be very much amended in a very , few hours by a Select Committee up stairs. This Bill passed through the Houseof Commons, where there were many gentlemen who were considered to represent the agricultural interest ; but if an election took place to-morrow, he did not think that they would be called upon to resume,their duties. He would ,move, that it be referred to a Select Committee. . The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he would suggest that it was not convenient that this Bill should be proceeded any further with, as far as the seeped reading was concerned. He understood that a clause bad passed through the House of Corn.. mons by mistake, which it was necessary to expunge. They should then proceed with it as a .new Bill, and read it a first; time. A message from the House of Commons was brought up, stating that. an amendment was, made on the Pauper Lanatica Bill, at-present before their Lordships, which amendment was net made on the engrossment of the Bill, and requestieg that this amendment should be inserted in the Bill, and that the 85th (")arise should. be.expunged from the printed Bill, as it elid net . form part of the Bill when it left the Commons. Lord CAMPBELL- did not understand the nature of the, amendments, nor did he exactly understand the present posi tion of the Bill in consequence of that message. . The Duke of RICHMOND thought that their course was very clear. . All they had to do was to send their messenger with the Bill to the House of Commons, and say that 'their Lordships would expunge the clause as requested. . Lord, COTTENHAM thought the most regular way would be to send the Bill back to the Lower House as it was, arid let the alterations andemendments be made there. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not concur with the Noble Lord who had just sat down. In 1836, Mr. Wilkes brought a message from the Commons, requesting that a certain provi sion should be expunged from. the Marriage Bill for England, which had - been agreed to on the third reading in the Commons. The way in which that message was dealt with was thise.e-All' the proceedings whiehevere, already had on the Bill in their , Lordships' House were vacated. - The provision was expunged. The Bill as amended was t h en rea d a fi rst t i me, anti cisderee rto be printed. • Now, thepresent Bill was in a -state precisely analogous, and he conceived that, with such a preoedent,eheir • course was very clear. Tfee.Earl of DEVON said it was perfectly true that, in the case of the Marriage Act, such a course as had been stated by' the Noble Lord had been pursued, but it was a coarse not sup ported.by precedent. • The LORD CHANCELLOR said that it was done quite in accordance with precedent, for Lord Melbou rne under whose guidinue the :Bill was, ladedluded 'to two precedents where a similar course had been adopted, and those welt-cues fertwhich the messages were brought up by Mr. Wilberforce and Sir ' George Hill, in 1823. After a few words from Lords Comm nAU and Lord CA mt.- Lord WHARNCLIFFE moved that the proceedings on the Bill up to the present 'stage be vacated ; that the amendments be made, and the clause expunged, as requested ; and that the Bill, so amended, be brought in, read a first time, and ordered to be printed.—Agreed to. The Duke of RICHMOND then gave notice that he would move that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the existing laws and regulations on the subject. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said he would take the second read ing of the Bill to-morrow ; and if the Noble Lord persisted in his motion, he would take the sense of the House upon it. A desultory conversation then ensued, after which The Duke of RICHMOND withdrew his motion, and the subject dropped. COMMONS ENCLOSURE BILL. Lord STANLEY moved the second reading of the Com mons Enclosure Bill, and explained its provisions in detail. He hoped their Lordships would agree to the Bill, and not allow a subject of such importance to be delayed for another session. Lord FITZ HARDINGE agreed in the general principles of the Bill, but objected to the 151st clause, and was of opinion that the Bill should be referred to a Select Committee to un dergo the requisite alterktions. Lord STANLEY replied that the 153 d clause removed what appeared to be objectionable in the 151st. He hoped the Noble Lord would allow the Bill to proceed, as any suggestion he had to make could be considered when the Bill went into Committee. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S BILL. On the motion of the Earl of HADDINGTON this Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Mon day next. COLLEGES (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed WASTE LANDS (SOUTH AUSTRALIA). The report on this Bill was brought up, and it was . ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The other Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. PROTEST ON PRIVILEGE OF PARLIAMENT, Jima' 4, 1845: DISSENTIENT 1. Because this House is now for the first time inter• fering to stop by force an action brought against a party for &wrong done to a fellow-subject in slanderous words, alleged to have been falsely spoken, and in thus inter posing its power, under the name of privilege, between the subject and his strict legal right, sought to be made good in a court of law by the course which the la* has prescribed. 2. Because, whatever right the Hou'se may be supposed to derive from precedent, that is, from former instances in which it has exercised similar powers, there can be no doubt that in former times both Houses of Parliament were wont to do many acts, under the name of asserting their privileges, acts which, in the present day, and for a long time past, both Houses of Parliament have wholly abstained from doing, and which would now be consi dered by, all mankind to be gross and wanton violations of all justice. 3. Because, though the right, however founded, or however proved, to do such acts as these, or even such acts as the present of a far less objectionable kind, were, admitted; yet it is always a question of expediency and discretion whether or not this power, even if it be pos sessed by right, shall in any given ewe be exercised ; and it ever behoves both Houses of Parliament to be most cautious and abstinent in the use of porters like these, which are assumed by them over parties chareed.with offending against themselves, and are used be - them in their own case without the intervention of any ita',Partial and judicial authority. 4 Because it is, in a peculiar manner, the duty of both Houses to abstain from such acts when they refleci that there is no code of privilege promulgated whereby the people may know against what law they offend, that the law is in each case declared; poSsibly made for the first time; after the alleged breach'of has been com mitted, and made in the heat of the strife ocCa:irioned •by the 'alleged offence, that the Members of the two Houses. always differ among themselves both as to the law and its application, and that they who promulgate it are at : once the lawgivers, parties, prosecutors, jurors; judges, and executioners ; while in this instance alone no power of extending mercy to the offender exists in the State. 5. 'Because it behoves this House in a more peculiar manner to avoid placing itself in so strange and ano malous a position, seeing that as it is the court of justice in the last resort in all cases criminal and civil, so it ought to be most anxious ever to set the example of strictly just, regular, legal procedure, and should most carefully shun all violations of law andjustiee, and should especially be slow to interfere with pending actions, which may, in their result, come 'before itself , as a' high court of 'appeal. • . • 6. Because the cases in which it iS'expedient and jus tifiable,' from absolute necessitY, 'ti interfere esith the rights of individuals and the ordinary course of the law, are of tiadescription wholly different from: the, present, being actual obstructions offered! to-the proceedings of the Houses, and which must be removed without any delay, else, the arm of Parliament would be paralysed ; and because no objection could ever be raised to such an exercise of power, and of rightful power, either by the 'two Houses or by any other tribunal. But constructive contempts like the present are of a wholly different ' description, and no harth whatever:. can arise frOm allowing them to be 'dealt With by the : course of the law as administered in ihnregular courts of jus tice, those courts to which the SOvereign as well as the meanest of his subjects must always, resort 'for the. esta blishment of rights and punishment of wrongs—those courts to- which the Houses of Parliament 'may most safely resort as the abodes'of strict justice—eoUrta pure fl-otn all taint of corruption, free froth 'tlll bias of in fluence; amcontrolled by the threats eith er o f .r ega l authority . or aristocratic insolence, or .popular. violence, and to which neither faction nor Tear can ever gain access. , , , •,, . Because the 'argument that witnesses must.be pro tected from vexatious and costly suits is wholly inappli cable to the case, inasmuch as no one pretends to doubt that they may be prosecuted at the instance either of the Crown or any individual, whether a Member' of the . House - or not; and if so prosecuted never - could recover' one farthing of their costs, though ever so honourably acquitted. 8. Because no punishment which can bp_ inflicted either by a prosecution or by the House upon a witness for the,wost Branton and the falsest slander ,of an indi vidual, can .afford any reparation whatever to the party thus injured, as the House has not brialea the power, if petitioned, to give any such compensation.' 9. Because the protection "Withessei - he"fore the Houses df Parliament never can' be regarded as more essential to the public weal than . ' the' protection of wit nesses.before the courts of civil and. criminal judicature ; yet no ;one, pretends to doubt that an action may be brought' against any person for. slanderous, words falsely spoken by him in giving his evidence before these courts, and though no damages could be recovered if the words were spoken in answer to a question put' in the cause, yet it is quite certain that the action must take its course, and that nothing could be done by the court to stop it ; so that the witness must be - exPeeed to ex actly the same vexation and expense'which are alleged to form 'the only ground for interfering to stop the action in the present case. lb. Because the order to 'prevent a def,ndant from, pleedisig a arahe, cammiimeet of, the plaintiff..for a con structive Contempt, never can ',really stop,sthe action; which may proceed through all its:.stages whatever be done to the parties; unless, indeed, the greater and un heard-of vi dense were committed of arresting_ the judges and their officers, an-1 destrciying the record ants tearing the proceedings from the'file.' 11. BecOuse all the argumeriti drawn from alleaed analogies in a court of equity are whelly wide of the question, inasmuch as the granting an injunction to stay actions, at law, or to prevlnt receivers.. and other officers, or ,quasi officers, of the court being sued for acts done under its'authoriV, are not. granted discretionally, but are :natter 'of strict right Rod ; urd inasmuch as such injunctions on ly prevent " the party against whom they issue froni obtainieg his re acdr in One form; reserving it'to him in another, sec uring it to him in the 'Court Which staVs the action whereas the present proceeding . deprivesi'lie:pirtSepf all remedy Whatever, the House ha ing no posher or autho rity to grant him redress- . 12. Because it is a great aggravation .0r the'-.mischief justly complained o f, that tor the, last nine years the other , House of Parliament has sold all the papers printed by its authority, allowing a discount to 'encourage the trade in those publications ; and that though this Howe has not as yet engaged in this branch` of business, yet it commiinicates its prints to the Other', Which sells them with its' own. , ~• 13. Becauee the inexpediency, injustice, arideruelty 9f exercising the alleged .privileges of the House is strongly illustrated by the peculiar circumstances of the present case. A complaint is made by a peer that an action has been brought against a witness. The deicu. dant is publicly described as a most respectable person, who had served well in the Peninsula ; to the- plaintiff is applied the most severe and even coarse expression, while in no court that tried the' ease could praise or censure of the character bOrne by the parties ever be heard for an instant, much less proved in evidence ; and while it is also manifest that precisely the same course must have been pursued .had, the respectable man been the -slanderer, and the censured eman• been the injured party. Under the , prejudices excited by such statements, the parties. are examined - 'at the bar. The plaintiff is compelled to disclose his case to the defendant. He describes 'himself as grieirOusly injured, and as severely suffering from the effect of the attack made upon his character by he defendant.' He further declares that he was wholly ignorant of the privileges of the House, wholly unconscious of his having acted in breach of them by bringing his suit—a thing the more easily believed when we reflect that the nature of Parliamentary privilege wes distinctly stated, in de bate, to be wholly unknown to the judges of - the land, and only understood by the House itself. Finally, the attorney, who has been seised and imprisoned for for= lowing' his client's instructions, declired that he acted 'under the advice of counsel ; and afterwards 'informed the House, through a Peer, that he had received direc tione to discontinue the action ; . yet both client and attorney are imprisoned, the attorney after this com munication was .made ; and nothing whatever is done against the counsel who deliberately advised 'the whole proceeding.:. 14. Because nothing can be more unlike all the judi cial proceedings to which the present h-is been compared than the'course now pursued, inasmuch as wheneier the law has declared that a Court shall not proceed' in any case by reason of 'another jurisdiction being interfered with, a particular mode of preventing this proceeding is provided. by the known law ; and in another and im portant particular, the present proceeding is extremely unlike that of injunction, to which it has been likened, for an injunction is commenced to stay proceeding in one Court, in order that justice may be &mein another which has possession of the suit ; nor' iS 'any ono pre vented anlees he disobey the order se; 'given ; whereas we issue no order, but at once Pideeeel to to punish the party before he has been guilty of any disobedience, or had any opportunity of doing. what we desire he should ,do, and we punish him on the sole ground of his having broken some privilege unknown to him,- and which we admit is understood by nobody butoutselves. 15. Because, finally, it is all along affirmed in the course of these discussions, that whatever privilege we do not in any case exercise, we cease to possess'; 'whereas there are many privileges most undeniably belonging to , us, some which in former times were constantly exer iihich we still declare to be ours on the face of our standipg orders e -and none of which have now for a long time past been exercised at all'; and in illustra tion of the varying usage which -exists respecting such privileges; it. may further be remenfbered that a very great change has come over this question, 'even within the last forty years ; as no one can affect to think that either the Houses of Parliament or fhe'Courts of Justice would at this day punish summarily for contempt those acts which frequently were thus visited within that pe riod of time,, including the very publication for which Sir Francis Burdett was sent to the Tower, and which raised the lait great discussion of the privilege question in Parliament, in the Courts of Law, and in this place. • BROUGHAM.

A case of an extraordinary character has just occurred in Nottingham, in an attempt by a clergyman to swindle several tradesmen out of goods to a large amount ; but, owing to his former proceedings having been made known in the public prints, happily, in this instance, he has been defeated. Three weeks ago an advertisement appeared in the Nottingham papers, of which the follow ing is a copy : " SC II . O OL-COLLICIATI, COMMERCIAL, AND AGRICULTURAL. " A married clergyman of some standing, and of considerable experience as a tutor, has come to reside in Nottingham, for the purpose of opening a boarding schoiil for young gentlemen, and has taken the house in Castle-gate, formerly occupied by Dr. Mitchell Davidson, which will be ready for the reception of pupils on the 4th of August. " The plan of education to be adopted will he based on strictly religious principles, upon a system as far u possible catecheti cal and explanatory, and will embrace the usual Greek and Latin classics, the pure and mixed mathematics, and a solid, liberal, and comprehensive course of English literature ; so that whatever rank of life the pupil may occupy, it will be the aim of the master that he possess the character and feelings of a scholar, the Christian, and a gentleman. " A course of simple lectures, on a level with the capacities of the pupils, will be given once a fortnight, on some scientific or literary subject— it having been found .by experience that a conversational style of instruction commands the attention, and awakens the energies of the mind without. oppressing it ; and while it affords an ample opportunity of frequent illustration, accustoms the mind to reason and think for itself—a point of the utmo't importance in the education of youth, arid far more beneficial than heaps of undigested matter obtained by rote. " The accGmplishments by eminent masters. "French and drawing taught without extra charge. " The advertiser would he happy to meet with clerical duty in the neighbourhood. For prospeetuses and reference', apply to the Principal, at his resOence, Castle-gate, Nottingham. " Casty-gete, July 16,. 1845." This advext,isement excited much interest in the Own and neighbourhood of Nottingham, particularly amongst , the clergy, who felt their order somewhat involved by a gentleman entering the town without announcing his name : and it is mainly owlsg to this circumstance that the attempt at wholesale swinciline• has been successfUlly prevented. "liiiMediately after the above announcement a gentleman, habitea likeU clergyman and of polished ad dress, called upon Mr. Jones, upholsterer, Beast- market , hill, Nottingham, and gave his name as the Rev. Dr. Ber rington ; he stated his intention of opening a school, and referred to . the- terms of his ad vertisement, which had appeared on the Fri day preceding, and expressed a wish to he supplied with furniture, carpets, &c., for his house in Castle-gate. On Mr. Jones requesting a reference, the name of " Mr. Welchthan; 77,'Cernhill, London," was given, and he was described as a West India proprietor of great 'wealth. So frank and prompt were the answers to the several questions put, that Mr. Jones thought all was right ; and believing that proper inquiries must pre viously have been made, or so large, a house would not have been 'Consented to supply the goods. Men were immediately employed' in making and fitting carpets, setting up beds, and arranging the furniture to resider the mansion complete. The articles supplied amounted t 6200/." Finding that success had attended, his efforts, Dr. Berringtem then applied to Mr. Whetnall, wine-merchant, Parliament-street, of whom he ordered wines and porter, which soon found their way into the cellar in. Castle-gate., Mr. Hurst, china-dealer, Chapel-bar; was also favoured with an order for china; and Mr. Parn ham, bootmaker, Long-row, opened an account for shoes; the china and six pairs of shoes, all being promptly sap-, plied, , Mr. Palethorpe, engraver, speedily. got ready Large brass plate, which was placed on the hall. door; having had engraved upon it " Rev. Dr. Berrington's Academy." A barrel of ale and eatables of every de scription followed in rapid succession, and on Saturday morning last Messrs. Astill and Hedderley, ironmongers, Clumber-street, on ,hearing the oft-repeated tale, under took tosupply kitchen utensils to the amount of 401. or 50/. ; part of these goods was sent- in the same after noon, and the remainder was to go on Monday morning. A speedy entlehowever; -- was past to this extraordinery .career by a - elergynian, who, after anxiously search ing to discover' the character of the " married clergy- . man" about to,f4vour .the public.with,a ", glen. of educa- tion based .on strictly , religious principles," and a per formance of clerical auties in the neighbourhood, found a newspaper- containing a full-length description, in characters not to be misunderstoo 1, of the celebrated Rev.

Castle -gate that afternoon," he instantly sent an excuse, as it Was Market 'day, and' requested that Dr. Berrington would call upon Mr. Jones' at his house, as he wished to speak 'to him there. In a short time Dr. Berrington was on 13eastImarket hill, and in conversation with Mr. Jones.

He apprehended that in this case the Act Brazil.' applied to the property and not to the subject, and, therefore,. Sir A.

The Honour • -able Gentleman said' that the treasure was' imperfect, • bios'tnse alterations of ' which be did not approve were made i • when it passed through Committee pro forma.

There was another alteration,' giving a part of the proceeds of ;a slave vessel and of its cargo to those who had aided in capturing it.' He' hoeed, then fore, that he had fully explained away the charge which had been brought against the Government that the measure was imperfectly constructed, and -- • had hero' hurriedly introduted. He did not think that any good object would he attained by producing the correspondence or the instructions to which the main:: referred. Mr. HUTT said, if they passed this Bull, as he bad every - reverts to believe they weuld, iii two years they would Sod their trade with Brezil utterly destroyed. The trade between • this country and Portugal was of the greatest importance, and anytting tending to its injury, as he apprehended this measure would, could not be too - mil: h deprecated.

Lord PA 1...1ER STON did not cons ur in the views which we e eutertalned by sonic of his Him. Friends with respect to the measure before them. Indeed he could nat 'pursue any other collie., es he was the first to suggest the adoption of the curse a hieh the i;ove. cm of were now pursuing. The gee. , teat which the House had to consider was whether the • trsiay of ISA waseto . -be tendered null and void, or whether .---shay should adept measures to. enable the Crown to carry it . . into executem. He was of opinion that if this country entered into treaties with other countries and did not enforce them; when any countr . became reluctant to carry them cut, that they would . bring disgrace upon themselv e s by , their negli gence, and want of national honour. The Govern in nt of - which he was a Member during the ten years they _ wt re in office, used every argument in their power to induce the Gorernment of Brazil to carry out the engagements which they had bound themselves to, butlike their successors they e: hat notemeceeded in their object. Every time the spiestion • of the save tree was discussed, that treaty formed a promi neot portion of it. Were they then to be permitted to carry oli their traffie in slavt-s with perfect impunity, and were they stet to take these means which the treaty with Brazil placed in ' their power? In that case he was ready to bear his share in . any eeseonsibility which might. ensue. 11 the Government had not taken the course with Brazil which they did with re- , spent. to the sugar duties—( Hear, hear)-if they had .. taken the proper course, they should not have found themselves he the position they now held, and would rot have oiteasloaed that irritation in Brazil which threatened to put an end to the treaty of 1817. When they asked Brazil to fulfil , her es ergements they asked no more than they would perform ~.. ....what they had agreed to do by treaty. He was Much afrai 1 , however, that the measure would not put an end to the slave: trade, as it would be driven to other portions of the globe, offering facilities for carrying it on. The slave _ . . trade of Brazil would be carried on under the flag of France and of the United States. He took that opportunity of calling the attention of. the Gevernment to the slave trade carried on between Muscat and the Isle of Borneo, in the hope of its . receiving their attention during the recess. He did, e . therefore,- hope that her Majesty's Government would ' • .make those repreaentations to the French Government, which would induce them to recal that ordinance. Slavery did not exist in the Mauritius, and there was, therefore, an opportu nity of cheekitig the importation of negroes, but it did exist in the Isle of ifeurbon, and he was afraid that a means might be affordea for promoting the slave trade in the interior of Africa. He trusted the Government would urge upon the Imaum of Muscat to take all steps for stopping the trade within his demi , nions. The Governor of Cuba had sent back the negroes . which had been introduced into his island. The negroes in Cuba became forfeited to the Crown, and the consequence was their liberty. The Dutch Governor had purchased these negroes illegally, and he should saythat as the Dutch Govern _ . ment had no right to 'retain British subjects in bondage, - ▪ ' he'hoped, therefore, that the Government would interfere to a set them at l i b er ty. Th en , aga i n , no progress w h a t ever h a d , . been mad e i n g i v i ng lib erty to t h e E manc i pa d oes, an d h e hoped the Government would insist on the liberation of those men. By nationallaw and by treaty we were entitled to demand it. Those .who were to be set at liberty were entitled to the protection of the country, and he was quite sure that if this point was pressed upon the Spanish Government, it would ; :go further than any other. He trusted that the papers of next year would be more satisfactory than those of this year. `° .t ' When the Government talked, no men could speak more " fairly, but when they came to act he was sorry . nothing could be seen, ' and their acts fell far short of. their words. Ile ' thought that the return which he had moved for last year ' ,' might have been ready by this time. - Sir R. PEEL said, that its explanation he might assure the 'Noble Lord. 'that' if he would appoint a time, he would request ' . . Mr: Barry, in the Foreign Departmdnt, to show him that it - • was no indisposition or • negligence, 'but a real difficulty in ' 4 ''snaking out toe tensest which prevented its being furnished. . . Mr. M. GIBSON only wished to explain that it was not "lompetent for the House to make a law which should bind ---- Brazilian subjects. ' The circumstance of the executive having e h" '''' tfachired the slave trade to 1:i piracy, did not make it piracy , and . , " ''theref o r e they ought to be very careful' how they legislated on ' •1 ht•el grOtind a• •' • • • - ee House thee went into 'Committee on the Bill, and on :, h !l . ii 'firsh clause beiegpropes'ed; .. • . c*V`t• PECHELL inqtfired whether the Admiralty had re t' heiven any account of the gallant conduct of Lieut.

REMOVAL OF PAUPERS BILL. The House then went into Committee on the Removal of Paupers. Bill. Captain JONES suggested an amendment in the 4th clause ; to which . Sir J. GRAHAM objected, upon the ground that the amendment would have the effect of repealing the power of removing paupers altogether. The clause only gave the power of landing paupers at the port nearest their native place, and then of being sent on to that place, 'instead of being landed at Cork, for instance, which might he the place farthe,t from their native places. After a few words from. Sir R. FERGUSON, the clause was agreed to. Clause 5 was next proposed, and, after a few words from Mr. G. Palmer, Sir J. Graham, and Mr.. Darby, agreed to. The remaining clauses were dispoied of and the House re sumed, and the Bill was ordered to be reported to-morrow at 'twelve o'clock. ' TAXING MASTERS' COURT OF CHANCERY t•%":-Or the' third eTatisibeing put from' the chair, 7 - Mir 8 WIRE said that the Government had no power IMPEPTC to make aria cendOt SA ad of pirady, unless by (IRELAND) BILL. Upon the motion that the House go into Committee upon this Bill, - Sir R. FERGUSON wished that it might be an instruction to the Committee that some compensation might be given to certain officers of the Court of Chancery in Ireland, who would be aggrieved by this Bill. The CHAIQELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he would not consent that any such instruction should 'be given to the Committee. Mr. HAMILTON said he had a petition from certain solicitors in Ireland, who prayed that they might be appointed .as taxing masters, they being the most competent persons. He would suggest an amendment to the effect that solicitors of the Court of Chancery of twelve years' standing should be chosen for the office of taxing ;nester. • • Mr. T. B. C. SMITH opposetl the amendment. The effect of the amendment wiuld be to exclude barristers and many attorneys of great talents and abilities who did not practice in the Ct.urt of Chancery. He olsj••cted to , this principle of ex. clu‘ion, and thought it wtuht be • unfair in its operation. Tiie remaining clauses and the preamble were then agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be reported to-morrow. • TURNPIKE-ROADS (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill paced through Committee—report on Monday.

Wilde, Mr. M. J O'Connell, and the Attorney-General, the last of whoni cordially supported the measure, this Bill went through Com mittee, The report of the County Rates 13111 was brought up, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time tomorrow. SCOTTISH TURNPIKE: TRUSTS BILL. - On the motion being put for the committal of this Bill, it was moved that it be committed that day three months.' Mi. P. M. STEWART supported the Bill, and declared that the Hon. Member had misrepresented its purpose and purport. He was quite sure that this Bill would be looked upon by the people of Scotland as an improvement on the existing law, and; were it not so late at night, he could easily dispose of the arguments of the Hon. Gentleman against it. Mr. FORBES MACKESZIE confessed that he did not agree with the views of the Honourable Member who had just sat down, and intimated his intention of ♦oting against the committal of the Bill. Strangers were then ordered to withraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— a• For the amendment Against it Majority for the amendment The Bill is consequently lost. FEES (CRIMINAL COURTS) BILL, Mr. ESCOTT, in moving the committal of this Bill, stated that its object was to prevent a person being, in certain coun ties in England, compelled to purchase his right of pleading, and his right of trial, when charged with a criminal offence, by the payment of exorbitant fees to the officers of the local cri minal courts. They would never get any justice unless they should decide that no person should be inflicted with any fine beyond the damages for the offence. He was at a great loss to know why this Bill should be opposed. This was a mere question of money. These fees formed a con venient way, except to the parties who paid them, of paying money into the pockets of men other wise respectable, but who would not be thoroughly respectable as long as' they received those fees. He wished then that this Bill would be allowed to go into Committee, and if any amendments were to be made as to the practical working of it he would be most happy to listen to them. Though the Bill might not be perfect, there was no doubt that it would do a great deal of good, and would create a great admiration for the administration of justice in this country and a love of the laws. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that they had now arrived at a period of the session, and at an hour of the morning, when it would be necessary to cut this matter short. He had beard the Honourable Member say that the Bill was not necessary ; but it was as necessary as most other measures of superfluous legislation. With regard to parties acquitted, he agreed with his Hon. Friend; but he totally differed from him as to parties found guilty, fqr .he did think this latter class ought to be made to feel the infliction of the law. Lord J. :%l ANNERS said it was impossible for any Member to understand this, what he would call " hocus pocus " legis lation. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that if the House sided with hint in staying the further progress of the 8 . 11, he would give notice that, to-morrow, he would introduce a Bill for the abolition of fees upon pleading and acquittal. Mr. P. BORTH WICK briefly supported the motion. Mr. ESCOTT, at the request of several Hon. Members, then withdrew the Bill. DRAINAGE BILL. The Earl of LINCOLN moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the Improvement of the Sewerage and Drainage of Towns and popul , us Districts, and for making provision for an ample supply of water, and fo: otherwise promoting the health arid convenience of the inhabitants. He said it was not his intention to press the Rol through this House in the present session, but simply to have it introduced and printed, and ,placed in Hon. Members' hands, so that their best attention. might be given to its details during the recess. Leave was then given to introduce the Bill. , The other, orders of the day were then disposed of, and the- Hang adjourned at.

SINGULAR AND FATAL A C CIDaNT.-011 Tuesday Mr. Bedford held an inquest at St. George's Hospital on the body of James Conner, aged twenty.eight years. It appeared by the evidence that on Friday last the deceased was employed at some new houses now in the course of erection in Eaton-square, Pimlico. Some other, workmen were building a platform near the top, beneath which deceased was standing, when a large iron chisel, about 18 inches . in length, fell from the platform, and struck deceased upon the head, cutting clean through the cap. He was immediately picked up, covered with blood and quite insensible, and conveyed to the above hospital in one of Mr. Cubitt's yang. Mr. Johnson, house.surgeon, said deceased, when admitted, had sustained a lace rated wound, between two and three inches, in length, on the back part of the hea:d, through which his brains were protruding, and adhering to the hair and clothes; a considerable quantity of brats appeared to hare been lost.

ST PETEasuunau,_ JULY 12.—The Russian Invalid publishes a bulletin. of the 21st of June from the Cau casus, from the camp, not At- from the fortress of the Dutschnoje, in the Icyrk Pas.. This report, however, contains nothing but accounts of marches and ma noeuvres, quite uninte,res4ng topersons unacquainted with the ground,., excepting the account of an engagement on the 17th of June by which the .Russiaus made them selves masters of theAntshimegQr mountain, a very im portant post in the military operations.in those parts.

EPRESS , TRAINS ON THE LEEDS AND MAN CHESTER RAILWAY.—Th9se trains commenced running on Mon day week, the 14th inst., two frOm Leeds and two from Manches ter daily, at the hours of nine in the morning and six'in the evening from each place. On inquiry, we learn that they have maintained their speed (which is not more than thirty to thirty-two miles an hour, including stoppages) daily, with but one exception, when, from the overheating of ,one of the axles of the engine, the train exceeded its time by a quarter of an hour. The tinv.. , fixed is two hours between Miinchester• and Leeds, and the trains now regu larly accomplish the distance from foui to six minutes within the two hours —Manc4ester Guardian. A bet, for a, consiaerable sum of money, was taken the other day by a gentleman in town, that he would find a man who would ride one of the horses regularly employed in running the Balfron stage-coach, belonging to Mr. James Stewart, inn keeper in that village, from Glasgow to Balfron, a distance of 19 miles, in 1 hour and 15 minutes. As might be expected, there were heavy-bets depending on the result. The match came off on Tuesday morning, ,when. Mr. Stewart's chesnut 8 years old mare was selected, and she was ridden in gallant style, amidst the plau dits of a vast concourse of spectators, who, as usual, had turned out for the , occasion, by tt young pan of the name of John Fergu son, jun., weighing nine stone. They started from the Round-tell, on the Garscube-road, at six a.m., and arrived at Stewart's Inn, Balfron, in 1 hour 51 minutes, being 9} minutes within the pre scribed time. This is considered by the gentlemen of the turf as an extraordinary , feat, when it is remembered that it was performed on a common, 1194 by no means easy, metal road, and by a mare regularly employed in the lead of a heavy stage coach. The ani mal, we understand, was perfectly fresh after the journey.—Glas. gate Journal. .PEOSECIITIONS.—A return relative to the rates of allowance for prosecutors' :and witnesses' expenses, and for attorney and counsel, and toprosecutions for felonies and misde meanours, in the counties of England and Wales, at thelwo:last assizes and quarter sessions, has been printed by' order of the House of Commons, on'the motion of Mr. W.
