In the House of Lords, last evening;an animated con versation, which however led to no result, took piece between the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord CAXPBELL, Lord BEAMIONT, and Lord CRANWORTH, 011 the subject of the Registration of Assurances Bill. Earl GREY, in answer to the Duke of RICHMOND, made the important announcement of the discovery of guano on the west coast of Australia, on which an export duty of 2/.lox. per ton had been imposed by the local Government, but which he had ordered to, be reduced to 1/. per ton. After a discussion on prison discipline between 43 Bishop of OXFORD and Earl GREY, their Lordships ad journed. In the Commons, the House resolved itself into Com mittee on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that the first clause he postponed midi the House should be in possession of the rescript or bull of the POPE alluded to in tine clause. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the motion; this legislation was founded upon the notorious fact that divers of her MAJESTY'S Roman Catholic subjects had assumed these The motion, which rras supported by Mr. ROEBUCK, Mr. KEOGH, and Mr. REYNOLDS, and opposed by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. WALPOLE ; was negatived on a division by 221 against 49. On the first clause, Sir F. THESIGER moved, instead of the words " the said brief, &e." to insert the words "all such briefs, &c." intending to move corresponding amemdments in the preamble; his object being, be said, to comprehend all siznil4r rescripts which may have been issued prior to the Bill within the terms of the declaratory enactment contained in this clause. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL explained that the Bill was not intended to revive the statute of prwmunire, but to be a solemn declaration against this particular act of violence and aggression on the part of a foreign po- tentate. A long discussion ensued, in which the legal construc tion and effects of the clause and the amendment were very fully considered. At the suggestion of Mr. HEN LEY, Sir F. TRESIQER consented to defer the motion until the fate of an amendment in the preamble an nounced by Mr. WALPOLE, which had a concurrent ob ject, was decided. The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY then moved another amendment of the first clause, by the insertion of words expressly exempting from its operation the use of such jurisdiction or title as shall be necessary for spiritual purp 3509. The ATTORNEY•GENEBAL objected to this amendment. The amendment was supported by Mr. MooRE, Mr. KEOGH, and Sir H. BARRON, and opposed by Lord J. HIISSF.LL. On a division it was rejected by 316 against 61. Mr. SADLEIR moved another amendment, limiting the operation of the clause to temporal purposes. This amendment was also rejected, by 317 against 57. A conversation took place upon a suggestion of Sir B. HALL, that there should be morning sittings, in order to relieve public business and get through this Bill, to which Lord J. RUSSELL objected, intimating, however, that he relied upin the support of the House if such a proposition should become absolutely necessary. The CHAIRMAN was then ordered to report progress; to sit again on Monday. Tne remaining orders and motions having been gone through, the House adjourned at twenty minutes past One o'clock until Monday. iioa-ollleeopen tromileven till Four. Sthge Manager. Mr. T. Thompson. The soi-disant Archbishop of WESTMINSTER is not without his friends in Finsbury. Last night the cudgels were taken up in opposition to the Ministerial measure by Mr. THOMAS SLINGSBY DMICOMBE, whose keen sense of propriety forbids him conscien tiously to countenance the progress of the first clause until the "said" brief or rescript referred to in it was laid upon the table. We congratulate the Irish Members on the acquisition of such a keen and com prehensive a reasoner as the Hon. .Member fur Fins bury, although he was unable to overcome the obtuse obstinacy of 221 representatives of the people, who coincided with the Learned SOLICITOR. GENERAL that no necessity existed for producing the brief, it being matter of perfect notoriety that certain individuals in this country, being subjects of the QUEEN, had assumed territorial titles as archbishops and bishops of the Roman Catholic Church, and it was against the assumption of such titles they were legislating. Of course the pious Gemini, Messrs. KEOGH and REYNOLDS, contributed their quota of support to their new -caught Metropo litan roltigeur, th e f ormer repeating the legal argu trent with which he had previously crammed Mr. DUNCOMBE, and the latter enlivening the discussion with one of those felicitous discourses in which it is difficult to determine whether polished repartee, acute logic, or persuasive candour was the most conspicuous. We trust that the exertions of the Learned Member for Athlone throughout so many evenings have not produced the effect of ruffling his equanimity ; but it hardly comports with the natural dignity and conspicuous position of the Irish Brigadier to foam out such terms as he employed with regard to the SOLICITOR-GENERAL and the Administration just previous to the division on Mr. SADLEIR'S amendment.

They may pursue their harassing tactics, ask the same questions eight or ten times over, take a division. every hour, talk against time, and exercise all possible manoeuvres which may occur to their fruitful brains, but all will not do. Whether the measure, as at pre sent proposed, be or be not rendered more effi cacious in its passage through Committee, they have not the spectre of a chance, and no one knows it better than themselves, of defeating a statu tory enactment against the arrogant and unwarran table aggression of the Court of Rome. A gross in sult has been offered to the prerogative of the Soya. REIGN of this Protestant state, an insult openly avowed and gloried in by the Parisian organ of the Jesuits, who are the real instigators of the usurpation exercised in the name of their puppet, the Porx. "Protestant England," says the Univers, " refuses the right of the SOVEREIGN PONTIFF to erect episco pal sees and to name bishops for the direction of the British Empire. Is it aware how the Holy See re plies to the denial of heresy, to the clamour and threats of English Protestantism ? Precisely by using the right and exercising the authority which has been denied to her." The impertinence of this manifesto is rich, and we recommend the avowed assumption on the part of the Papacy of " the direction of the British Empire" to the consideration of those representatives who pooh-pooh the vindication of in dependence from its trammels. If those gentlemen are of the same mind as G&LLEO, and " care for none of these things," we trust there may not be found a kindred spirit of nonchalance among their consti tuents. We ask, with the Hon. and Learned Member for Midhurst, in his animadversion on the trashy KEOGH-DUNCOMBE objection in last night's debate ' is the Parliament of England to hold its hand and suffer itself to be insulted because the Papal rescript is matter of public notoriety and not of legal proof ? Are not the Commons of England prepared to stand by the QUEEN and the nation, whose rights and freedom are invaded and in jeopardy if they allow any foreig❑ power of any sort or kind to in terfere in any way with their laws, allegiance, or the internal affairs of the kingdom ? .RKE TS 3 done ay.

It scarcely remains for anyone to be informed of the discrepancy existing between the sums re quired in this country and in others beyond seas for the legal protection of any new and valuable inven tion. Whereas amongst ourselves an amount very neerly reaching the extravagant total of four hundred pounds is extorted from the unfortunate experimen talist before he can secure to himself a right of property in his contrivance for the United Kingdom, the same advantages can be ob tained for less than 10/. sterling in either the United States, France, Belgium, or Holland. This, moreover, is accompanied by the monstrous dispro portion of the delays impeding the applicant in Great Britain, while, in the states just enumerated, every facility would, on the contrary, be placed at his com mand by their respective Governments. Amongst ourselves, the consumption of time, as well as of capital, inevitable upon all such occasions, is enough in truth to deter many from adventuring upon a course so expensive and so procrastinated. It was from a recognition of this fact that some of our more energetic reformers were recently induced to organize an association for the promotion of these long-desired amendments, for the agitation of the subject through out the country, and for its definitive introduction to the notice of both Houses of Parliament. The pur pose kept in view by the originators of this benevo lent scheme commanded from us, it may be remem bered, an earnest expression of our sympathy almost immediately upon its first announcement. Since then we have sedulously watched the progress made by its chief promoters, and, from time to time, have brought the matter through our leading columns under the reconsideration of the reading and reflective community. Latterly, we are rejoiced to observe, that the jnterest taken in the subject referred to has been very considerably extended throughout the population, indicating its movement by the more fre quent discussion of the injuries actually inflicted by the laws as they at present stand ; and this variously by the lecturer, the journalist, and the pamphleteer; by all those, in fact, who possessed the opportunities of leisure, or inclination, to bring the evils of the Patent System under the scrutiny of the multitude. In their very lucid prospectus the council of the National Patent Law Amendment Association an nounce the precise changes which, according to their opinion, are absolutely needed in order to render the required reforms efficient. They insist, for example, first and foremost upon the necessity of making pro. tection for inventors, obtainable at little or no cost ad interim, or provisionally. They maintain that com plete protection, or Letters Patent, should be rendered obtainable at moderate cost, if any such course of proceeding should be deemed expedient. They demand a simplified mode of obtaining this Patent or com plete protection. They assert that, for the easy refer ence of inventors and the public, there shall be formed an official classified index of all such Patents and protections. For the purpose of securing the better judicial protection of patent rights, they suggest the introduction and use of scientific and practical judg ment in a positive form, and without entailing any supplementary expense whatever upon the litigants, together with the ulterior appointment of a special court for patent matter, should such an arrangement be considered, on inquiry, desirable. Added to all which, it is proposed by them that eventually some declaratory statute shall be formed settling what is really and actually the law relating to patents and protections. From these particulars it will be sufficiently evident, we conceive, that much remains to be effected before the scientific inventors of the United Kingdom can be placed in a proper position with regard to their own individual rights and those of the general population —in reference, we mean, to the rights of the public at large to the benefit of every new invention, and to the rights of its inventor to the enjoyment of the proceeds flowing in from its use by the community. Notwithstanding the multiplicity and the magnitude of the innovations found to be necessary before this can be in any reasonable manner accom plished, it will be perceived that the pro moters of the change in the Patent Laws have until now been energetically and uninterruptedly prosecuting their enterprise in the evident and ra tional conviction that perseverance in a cause so righteous must ultimately render them triumphant over every opposition.

The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders have received a letter from Mr. Lord, the agent of the Venezuelan bondholders, dated " La Guayra, April 25," of which the following are extracts:— "The satisfactory way in which Congress is dealing with the arrear interest will of course be viewed by the committee as far preferable, and more advantageous to the bondholders, than the capitalization and issue of new bonds for that interest, compensating, as it will also do, in some degree, for the shameful misappropriation of funds by the late Adminis tration. . . . It affords, perhape, something like a guarantee th a t t h e f unds will henceforward be faithfully applied to the object for which they are destined by law, always supposing that peace and good order will be preserved. . . On the 14th inst. I gave instructions to my agent in Caraccas, Senor Jose M. de Royas, to wait upon the Minister to report to him the request of the committee, that agents should be appointed in La Guayra and Porto Cabello to receive and remit to London the portion ot Customs' duties assigned to the foreign debt. Owing to the Easter holydays Senor Royas could not obtain an interview with the Minister until the 22d. For an account of what passed on the occasion, I beg leave to refer the committee to the enclosed extract from Senor Royas's letter, written immediately after the in terview. It confirms what I stated to the committee in my letter of the 22d of March last year, and proves that on this point the Government is impracticable. . . The present Finance Minister, on taking office .last month, gave orders to the several collectors of Custom houses to remit to the Treasury in Caraceas thence forward the entire proceeds of the quarter part of import duties assigned to public credit. This the Minister stated to Senor Royal' at a previous interview, adding that he was determined to re-establish this credit, and to apply the funds strietly to the purpose to which they had been assigned,' tolling him to assure me that the creditors might place entire confidence in this resolu tion. It is a repetition of the assurance given by his predecessor, Senor Heres, in his note of the 13th ult. to her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires, of which I sent the committee a copy in my letter of the 26th. "The decree for imposing the extraordinary contri bution was passed to the Executive on the 23d, and the probability is, that it is now a law of the Republic. Senor Gellineau (the Minister) intimated to my agent at the late interview that he only waited for it to become law to reply to my late letters, when he would furnish me with art official copy of the decrees for transmission to London. " The ordinary session of Congress (duration 90 days) expired on the 20th iust., but they have been extended for an additional 15 days, to complete certain measures deemed important, the extraordinary contribution:bein g one of them."

The market was dull, and the disposition to sell still continued. The Railway Share market opened heavily, and with a downward tendency, $ but later in the day there was an improvement, and closed with a better feeling. The weekly statement of the Bank of England, made 24 up to the 17 t h i nst., i s more satisfactory than any we have had of late iu respect to the amount of bullion, al though there are other items which we are icclined to watch with equal interest. We desire, for example, to wit ness full employment for money, rather than its accumu lation. The active circulation fell off; and a larger amount was added to the unemployed notes, the pubic deposits from their gradual accumulation enabling the Bank to draw in its notes without making further sales of Exchequer -bills.

THE LATE SUICID E ON THE LONDON AND NOM 'ala WesTenie RAlLWAY.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., b eld an inquest at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road, St. Pancras, on James Young, Esq., aged seventy-two, late of 35, Augustus-street, Regent's -park, who, as has been alines idy stated, committed suicide, by throwing himself under the train on the London and N orth-Western Railway. :Mr. George Harris, the deceased's nephew, stated the decet used, who was a gentleman of independent fortune, had late ;e rly suffered much from ill-health, which greatly affected l his spirits. Sunday morning he appeared more cheerful than usual; and, after taking some coffee, left home to tal re a walk. For a few days before Ins death he complain, id of pain in the head. On Saturday he made his will. He was the last man whom witness would smpect of suicidal it iten tions. Mrs. Emily Norton, residing at Park Villa East, Regent's -park, was watching from the Victoria -bridge , the arrival of the Liverpool train on Tuesday, which ree ac hed the London station between one and two o'clock, when just as the train appeared in sight she saw deceased walk from the right hand side of the railroad towards the rail # on which the train was runniug. When the train came close to him, he halted for a moment, then knelt down, anc I en veloping his head in his cloak laid it upon the rails. She was so horrified, that she lost all power of speech. nen she looked the next moment, the train had passed over the unfortunate gentleman, having severed the head diago2 sally from the body, and leaving the mutilated portions se oeral feet distant from each other. The train, which consist sd of six or seven carriages, was going at an easy pace down , the incline plane. Verdict, "Insanity."

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CHEB AIRS JUNCTION RAILWAY.—We understand that the directs, rs of this line are arranging the claims of the several parties who seek compensation for the injuries they received at the late collision. They deem this the most economical procedure, Emit will save them a very large amount in the shape of law r sofas,. Some of the larger claims are still unsettled, and it is F lout ble that some cases will ultimately be brought to tri Liverpool Mercury. Two police -agents, who had been sent from Fr ink fort to the Exhibition of London, says the Constituth met, were, on their arrival in that capital, relieved by some adroit thieves of all their luggage and papers, am =get which happened to be the description of seven Is mons German thieves, whom they had been ordered to see' out and observe. THE PROVINCIAL DETECTIVES IN THE METROP. —There are at present upwards of thirty officers conn acted with the provincial detective police force in London, a sting under the dir ec ti on o f the authorities of Scotland- lard. These men, wh o h ave b een selected for their general in lelli gence, and knowleige of the towns from which they r :ome, are employed as a corps of observation rather than p' tlice officers. A number of them attend daily the Crystal P. daces and keep a strict watch that none of the visitors mi rq be eased of their purses or their contents; but even were they to see a light-fingered gentleman plying his trade, they • can not take him into custody. Not having been sworn In to act as police-officers in the metropolis, their instructior is are to call the next London officer and point out the ( lelin anent, that he may be apprehended. These officers wb a are not engaged in the Palace visit the termini of the rail ?ways which communicate with their respective localities, an d see who arrive by the several trains, reporting the arrival o f any parties who are known as reputedihieves, Sm. At nigh d the officers visit the haunts of thieves, a c., with a view of i veer taming what number of persons with whose habits and pur. suits they a re acqua i nted have arrived from the prov Incas. Chartist and Socialist meetings are also attended and rep orted upon. It will be seen that the uuties of the provincial of Beers are rather of a negative than a positive kind, the I sower of acting being reserved for the metropolitan force, bet tweets whom and the provincials anything but amicable fe. slings exist. The latter dislike to be made the jackals of thi t for mer, who will derive all the credit due to their labours t and knowledge, whilst the London officers feel somewhat p [sped that parties, whom they call " countrymen," should have been brought and permitted to trespass on what they con eider their own manor. - Live - Tool Mercury. ST. PANCRAS (MIDDLESEX) PAVING CONSOLIR DA- Trox.—Yesterday the Committee of the House of Comnsi Dna upon this Bill proceeded with the consideration of its pre vi sions. Mr. Talbot, Q.C., in opening the case for the at ro moters, stated that the object of the Bill was to consoli a ,ate the 17 existing paving and lighting boards in the paris at of St. Pancras, which now contained a population of 160 1,000, with an assessible value of 660,0001., into one central b. lard. The present complicated system caused increase of expi erase; want of rating uniformly had a tendency to lead to ab uses, and to cause the burdens of local taxation to fall morehe avily on the ratepaying population. The Bill is opposed r the Bedford and other estates, ratepayers of St. Pancras 1 and Camden Town, and by a variety of other local inte rests. The only witness as yet examined is Mr. G. W. F. Cook 4 the vestry clerk of St. Pancras.

Nothing more was heard of him, until one of the ostlers had his at tention drawn to a pool of blood which lay on the floor of a coach-house, underneath the deceased's bedroom. One of the female servants went up, but found the door closed ; she, however, raised an alarm, and when she entered the apartment the deceased was lying on the floor, with his head nearly shattered to pieces. By his aide was discovered a six barrelled pistol, which, from the position of the de ceased, had been discharged in his mouth. The police were called, and when his pockets were searched, two letters were found, one addressed to Mr. Mackenzie, of Half-Moon-street, Piccadilly, in which the deceased mentions something rela tive to the late Derby races sad other matters. A MARVELLOUS TALE.—When the American barque Mary Annab, was making her last trip to Belfast, on reaching lung. 65 deg. 49 min. W. and lat. 27, d eg . 20 rain. N., the sailors were astonish e d to hear a bark, which was un mistakeably that of a dog, and seemed to proceed from the sea. Looking out they discovered the poor animal from which the cry p oceeded stiuggling with the billows far astern. Captain Keating was apprised of the fact, and bringing his glass to bear on the now lessening object, which increasing aistance was every moment making more indis tinct, he pronounced it a sun -fish basking on the surface. The men were positive as to the fish having barked as nothing but a dog could, unless a very odd fi,la indeed, and just at that moment a sound came down upon the wind unmistake ably issuing from canine jaws. The ship was put aback, and in a short time the adventurous animal was hoisted on board in a pitiable plight. He recovered, however, and now frisks along the deck of the Mary Annah as nimbly as though his energies had never been tasked by swimming over half the Atlantic—a feat which some of the sailors strongly assert, we do not wish to say swear, he has accomplished. " Uncle Sam," as the dog is now christened, must have dropped from some ship that bad pa•sed in the Mary Annah's course; but how the poor animal could have kept afltat for such a period as he must have been in the water is a problem.—Northern Whig. ROYAL ORTHOPCEDIC HOSPITAL. —Yesterday even ing a meeting of the friends and committee of this hospital was held in the boa d-room, N o. 6, Bloomsbury -square. It appeared that the prospects and arrangements of the ensuing anniversary festival, under the chairmanship of Mr. Quarles Harris, were in every respect satisfactory and encouraging. A numerous list of noblemen and gentlemen had signified their ready willingness to support the worthy founder of the hospital on the occasion, alike by their presence, pecuniary assistance, and personal services as stewards of the dinner. Nearly 11,000 patients had now participated in the benefits of the charity, and the daily increasing numbers, coupled with the fact of no less than 300 being on the hooks waiting their turn of admission, rendered the commencement of the pro posed new and extended building an object of much interest to the friends and supporters of the charity. Her Majesty and bis Royal Highness Prince Albert bad given the warmest encouragement to the design, and energetic exertions were being made for its speedy consummation. SUICIDE OF A NEWSVENDOR.—Yeaterday morning, shortly after eight o'clock, Mr. Charles Reynolds was disco vered suspended from the cupboard door in the kitchen. His daughter-in-law, with great presence of mind, got into the window, unlocked the door, and, with the assistance of de ceased's eldest son, cut him down. Mr. Bannister, surgeon, of Oxford-street, a tt en d e d w i th all possible speed, but life was found extinct. He has left a family of five children to deplore his untimely end. Supposed cause for committing this rash act, pecuniary embarrassment. An inquest will be held on Monday.
