Ult LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1850. A significant allusion was made on Saturday even ing to one of the most felicitous testimonies ever afforded of the advantages accruing from British sympathy with the constitutional movement of a foreign population. This testimony, in favour of the policy pursued by Lord PALMERSTON, is altogether so remarkable, and has been hitherto so egregiously overlooked, that we deem ourselves more than justi fied in directing the particular attention of the public to it, as a matter otherwise likely to be passed by without observation, having been merely inciden tally mentioned in one of the speeches delivered at the banquet to the Foreign Secretary. The re ference of our observations is to the attitude assumed by the Spanish nation at a period when the rest of the European countrie; were convulsed by revolu tionary agitations. The tranquillity maintained, generally speaking, at that momentous zpoch through out the chief portion of the Spanish peninsula must assuredly be regarded as a. token favourable to the diplomatic system of the Liberals. It was an evi dence, at any rate, that the social changes effected of late years among the Spanish multitude has been beneficial rather. than • retrogressive. Even with arbitrary men in power at Madrid, even with men whose despotic predilections and dpmineering tem perament induced them to display an indecent amount of iiri , ability towards• the Ambassador from the Court of St. James's, it was evident that the Spaniards were still so far advanced by the spirit of their political institutions that they, almost alone, among the continental nations of Christendom, preserved their bearing of serenity during a time of extraordinary turbulence. The fact was conspicuous, and it was not less satisfactory than conspicuous. Looking back to those times of prevailing anarchy, it is a circumstance somewhat entitled to consideration, that Spain and Belgium were almost the only portions of continental Europe that shared with England the glory of pre at ring an aspect of almost unbroken tranquillity. Belgium, it is sufficiently well known, has progressed within the thirty years last past very wonderfully in the scale of civilization. Her improved prosperity, her moral amelioration, and her intellectual develop ment alike arrest the scrutiny of the philosopher and merit the panegyric of the historian. Within the same interval, moreover, Spain, if less perceptibly, has not less actually advanced socially and commercially, morally and intellectually. This good moreover has been secured in her instance in defiance, as it were, egthe most - unpropitious circum stance. While intrigue has been nurtured in the palace, while deterioration has been evident in the Government, while licentiomess has beau pc/W*4 1 in high quarters, and the manners of the barracL . - room introduced into the saloons of the Administra,•. tion —the people have steadily progressed in the way of general civilization. Naturally, of course, the multitude, while securing to themselves the advantageous qualities accompany ing the great national improvement, or rather, perhaps, we should say in consequeneepf the acquisition of those qualities, have acquired likewise a greater semiitive ness to the short-comings of their rulers. They - have regarded, indeed, the proceedings of those exalted personages for a long while past with conflicting emo tions of dismay and suspicion. So enormous, indeed, has the national suspicion become, that them oat ex travagant rumours have been set afloat, and by some individuals it would even appear actually believed, in reference to the recent birth of an heir to the Crown of Queen ISABELLA. Reports so exaggerated have been flitting about since the announce meat of the premature decease of the Royal infant, as to be comparable only to the stories pro mulgated in the seventeenth century, in allusion to the birth of a son to the unfortunate King JAMES the SECOND, stories which cannot even now be forgotten in respect to Father PETER and the warming-pan. Whisperers, in feet, have gone so fix as to question, on one hand, the reality of the reported birth, and, on the other hand, the possibility of the child having re ceived fair-play—the former insinuation being directed against the possessors of the Crown, and the latter against the aspirants for its possession. Meanwhile the recent sojourn of the Duke and Duchess DE Moserranstan in the peninsula has re vealed a fact of no slight importance, namely, that the heirs presumptive to the Spanish diadem are cursed with a notorious unpopularity. Even under circumstances calculated to put the people in the beat temper imaginable, namely, during the performance of their favourite amusement, bull-fighting, when the matadors have bent the knee in homage to the INFANTE and her French husband, the crowd has tes tified its annoyance by the moat undisguised sibilation. Mach of this unpopularity of course may be attri buted to the jealousy inspired by a sense of the Orleanist intrigue in which the marriage originated ; but, no matter what the source to which it is trace able, the fact is at once unmistakeable and important. Another subject for consideration for all those who would conjecture the future reserved for Spain and the Spanish population, is the espousal of a Neapolitan Princess by the Conde DE BIONTEMOLIN. The bridal festivities of the son of Don Caunos had more over, it should be remembered, been preceded by the marriage of his most chivalrous adherent, the celebrated General CABRERA, the hero of Catalonia— ' each of those occurrences, purely personal though they may appear, being calculated to affect in a remark able manner the fortunes of the peninsula. Within the last few days a desire on the part of a certain class of French politicians has been avowed in the columns of. the Assemblie Nationale, that the Republican Government of France should, in the event of the demise of Queen ISABELLA without offspring, resume the policy of the Orleanists, by merging all consideration for the wishes of the Spanish people themselves in the question of the pre dominance of French interests in the peninsula. Against such doctrines as these the genius of this age of liberality and civilization protests most audibly. The problem to be solved fur Spain, as for any nation similarly situated, is, not the predominance of French interests, or the predominance of English interests in her government, but the establishment of free institutions, and the consolidation of a constitutional authority, in accordance with the will of the Spanish people—whether the personage selected by that people, for the conduct of its affairs be the Duc DE MONTPENSIEE, the Conde DE AIONTEMOLIN, or some unborn child yet destined to succeed to the sceptre of ISABELLA. After sustaining four distinct and unequivocal de feats on the Attorneys' Certificates Bill, the Go vernment have at length succeeded, on a filth trial, in obtaining a majority, and thus throwing out this just and equitable measure for the present session. It had reached the last stage of its progress—the third reading—and, as it was a subject on which the here ditary branch of the Legislature could not interfere with the decision of the representatives of the people, there appeared to be but little doubt of a satisfactory conclusion to the contest. The cup, however, has been dashed from the lips of the eager expectants ; tbtir reasonable hopes have been frustrated, even at the eleventh hour ; their exulting plasma have been changed into lamentations. These unto ward results have been produced, not through any accession of strength on the part of their oppo nents, but by the scandalous neglect and apathy, the gross dereliction of duty by their professed friends. Had the 139 gentlemen who, on the 15th instant, recorded their votes in favour of the second reading of the Bill, and thus affirmed its principle, been in attendance on Monday evening last, the measure would have been sanctioned by a majority of 27, in place of being rejected by 24, and Sir CHARLES WOOD would have learned that no Ministry can with impunity disregard the dictates of fair play and common honesty. The 51 absentees have indeed much to answer for, and they cannot plead the want of sufficient notice. On the preceding Saturday we emphatically cautioned them against the "dodges" that would be attempted, and exhorted them that they should not, "in the moment of victory, exhibit any apathy or negligence that might by any possibility convert their former triumphs into an ignominious defeat." The salutary warning was, however, in ♦ain; they suffered themselves to be drawn by other pursuits from the performance of the important duties they had undertaken. Perhaps the mysterious in fluence of the Ministerial " whipper out" —the pa tronage Secretary of the Treasury—might in some degree account for the absence of " the dirty half hundred." But, whatever might be the cause, we trust that the numerous and influential body whose interests were so shamefully disregarded will scru tinize the division lists of Monday, the 15th, and Monday, the 22d of July, with curious eyes, and rtquire full and satisfactory explanations when Hon. Gentlemen are again appealing to their respective constituencies for a renewal of confidence. We would earnestly recommend to the profes sion that the names of those who voted on the five divisions, for or against the Govern ment, should be printed, and hung up in the office of every attorney and solicitor in the United Kingdom, to be referred to in case of a vacancy in the represen tation of the district in which he resides. If this course be adopted, and that the - fifty-one absentees be marked with double lines of black,. we premise that extraordinary vigilance will be exhibited on the re appearance of the Bill next session, and that the ob noxious tax will only once more be demanded. Each person interested will thus, for the outlay of a few pence, get rid of an annual payment of 121., or of Si., as the case may be, according to the locality in which he resides. It will be a cheap mode of at taining a great object. We trust that this hint will not be thrown away upon the acute and clear headed parties who have just sustained so grevious a disappointment. But, although Sir CHARLES Woon has achieved a temporary triumph, he will have but little cause for self-gratulation. There is 4' a good time coming," when the entire taxation of the country must be sub jected to revision, when he will no longer be enabled to defend unfair and unjust imposts on the ground that there are other duties equally atrocious —when a tax is to be judged of nut on its own intrinsic merits or demerits, but according to the propriety of other taxes, which are still maintained despite the serious objections that may be put forward from time to time. Next year the property and income-tax will expire. Five-and• a• half million of pounds sterling will be taken from the revenue at one fell swoop, and -11.1 - histers, if they desire to preserve the public credit, and to meet the interest of the national debt, must apply to Parliamekt for a renewal of the charge. This necessity w ill afford a golden opportunity to fiscal and financial reformers for remodelling the public burdens, and distributing the weight more equitably, [ so that every man in the community may contribute to the exigencies of the nation secundum statum et facultates. Such a chance cantot again arise for many years, possibly never. It is certain that an attempt will be made by Ministers to render it perpetual, but that should be most strenuously resisted until it be extensively modified and placed on an entirely new basis, so that the precarious earnings of industry—of the diligent tradesman, or the hard-working profesaional ',...,••, ~ ....,4 a , • , 4-Z ' , .151. , ;s `',,, -.-....., - / ~.z G4g *..e.'- -• s - :, ,• • ,• - •.' t . 0 .., 4. - 4 , ti•ollik • ... ..- _ • , ~.c . 4o'„? h,. c i *.... 4 ' i , ...: 4r • atoms 4 .,,, , , , oicitw.

We need scarcely say that we are not opposed to the principle of direct taxation, and that we consider a judiciously and fairly assessed property-tax as the most eligible impost that can be levied, being at the same time more just and equitable, more politic and expedient than any other that could be adopted. Yet, while acknow ledging this much, we must remind Honourable Gen tlemen of what the proceedings on the Attorneys' Certificate Bill has so forcibly illustrated—the great difference between carrying a positive enactment and resisting any alteration in the law. The vexatious tactics adopted by the Government on the present occasion may be exhibited towards themselves when applying for the renewal of the income -tax, and divisions may be taken at every stage of the Bill, and whenever there is a chance of defeating it, unless a full inquiry be instituted into all the public burdens. Although sympathising with the attorneys in their recent disappointment, we can scarcely regret that the fiscal reformers will be ensured the zealous co operation of such efficient allies in the general con test that is rapidly approaching, and for which timely preparation should be made. They are, perhaps, more heavily taxed in proportion to their income than almost any other class of the community ; they have to pay heavy stamp duties before they can enter on the practice of their profession, amounting to no less than 1451., which, if invested in an annuity, would produce say 14/. 103. per annum ; they hare also, if admitted three years, and resident in London, to pay 121. per annum for taking out their certificate. These sums are in addition to the income tax and all the indirect imposts to which they are subjected, in common with the other members of the community. If then, we suppose, the average earnings of London solicitors to be 2001. per annum, and we believe that we are esti mating at the very highest figure, if due allow ance be made for ;the various expenses and draw backs to which they are subjected, it will be seen that they have to pay direct taxation to the amount of 32/. 6s. Bd. per aunum ; that is to say, 14/. 10s. for in terest on 1454 sunk in payment of stamp duty, 12/. for certificate, and Si. 16s. Bd. for income-tax, being as much as is demanded from the proprietor of 38,0001. Consolidated Three per Cents., and no less than 16 1-6th per cent. on their incomes. This is not as it should be. It.cannot be defended on any principle of equity, and yet it is but one of many similar in stances of injustice equally demanding redress. We trust that another session will not be suffered to elapse without suitable remedies being provided, and we have pointed out the means by which a com plete victory may be achieved. The Army Estimates are to be taken to-morrow evening in Committee of Supply, and Mr. HENRY BERKELEY has given notice of his intention to op. pose the, vote for the Yeomanry Cavalry ; his op position to this vote, if successful, will be tantamount to a disbandment of this most useless, and if not useless, then most mischievous and most dangerous corps, and we trust that every Free-trader, every financial reformer, every lover of peace, every hater of disorder, will be in his place to-morrow night to support this motion. Their presence will be needed, for among the representatives of " the agri cultural mind," there will be a large num• ber of Yeomanry officers, who will, if they can, make the country pay for this mischievous and ex pensive toy ; we shall find their names in the division list on Friday morning, as having voted to a man in favour of saddling the country with an expense of 81,000/. to enable them to play at soldiers for one week during the year. An admirable paper by Lieu tenant-Colonel WILKIE, which appears in the number fur July of Colburn's United Service Magazine, has proved that for all military purposes the Yeomanry Cavalry, as at present constituted, are worse than use less; that in the event of an invasion, or of their being opposed to disciplined troops, they would be of in finitely greater harm to their friends than to their foes ; that, in fact, considered in a military point of view, the Yeomanry Cavalry, which has only one week's disci pline and training during the whole of the year, is merely an expensive plaything ; and, as we cannot afford just now to expend 81,0001. for the purchase of a plaything fur the country gentlemen, it would be but becoming in the ivlinister to at once accede to the very reasonable proposition of the lion. Member for Bristol, and to withdraw the vote. But then we shall be told that, although they are utterly inefficient as a military force, yet they are of great assistance as a police force. This we entirely deny ; their organization is so clumsy that it requires at least 48 hours' notice to call them out, and when called they are unamenable to discipline, and either refuse to perform their duty at all or perform it in such a partisan spirit as to bring great discredit upon the institutions of the country, and to excite that hatred of class against class which, next to actual civil war, is the greatest curse that can befal a nation. We re member the Manchester massacre, when persons peacefully assembled for a legal object, and be having in a legal manner, were set on by an undisciplined mob of armed yeomanry headed by the squires, and hounded on by a clerical magistrate, and were ruthlessly massacred ; the bitter fruits of the cowardly onslaught of the JOWLERS of 1819 we are reaping to this very hour; it was at 1?eterloo that the foundation was laid of the class hatred between the industrious classes and the squire archy, who, on that occasion, rode roughshod over them, which has not even yet entirely disappeared. While, however, at Manchester, they acted with that cruelty and undue severity which invariably charac terises an undisciplined corps, there have not been wanting occasions in which, as in the " Swing" riots of 1830, they have refused to act at all, alleging that if they did so their own property would be in danger. As an aid, therefore, to the civil power in case of disturbance, they are, when not absolutely useless, positively mischievous, and seeing the ardent desire which many of these gentry have expressed at recent protectionist meet ings " to mount their oases, ride into the towns, and carry the re-enactment of the bread tax by force of the sabre," we think that, as a matter of precaution, these gentle men should be at once disarmed and disbanded, not because we apprehend they will attempt to carry "their threats into execution, but because persons who can be found so far " left to themselves," as to give utterance to them, are in intellect mere children, who, for their own safety's sake, and to prevent them from doing themselves a mischief, should not be suffered to play with edged tools or fire-arms, A GOOD CHARACTER.—After enacting Haynau in cruelty, and Schwartzenberg in policy, Sir Henry Ward is unable to imitate even the clemency that Haynau at last resorted to in Hungary. There Is not a potentate, from the Adriatic to the. Indian Ocean, more despotic, more detested, more extra-constitutional, more the foe of all reform. all economy, and all liberal principle, than Sir Henry Ward.— Daily News.

The mean temperature was 65.6 degrees, which is four degrees above the average of the same week in seven years. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes day it ranged between 8 degrees and 12 degrees higher than the average of the same days. The temperature was highest on Tuesday; and on that' cay the highest in the shade was 87 degrees, and the highest in the sun 105 degrees. COLONEL SALWET, M.P.—We regret to learn that the Hon.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 American and 500 Surat were taken for expart, and 500 American on speculation. The market was quiet, and closed steadily at about 1-161. in favour of buyers. The sales com prised 4,000 American, 300 Pernam and Maranham, at Bd. to Bid.; 200 Egyptian, at 80. to 91; and 400 Surat, at 4id. to 6d. per lb.—Railway Shares slightly improved, and the market closed with a better feeling. Accounts from Hamburgh state that a large brewery had been burnt down, together with a quantity of malt, &c., valued at 50,000 mares banco. No lives were lost. In the Amsterdam Stock Market on Monday prices were steady._ Advices from Nicaragua state:—" The agents of Howard and Son's, and Low and Co.'s line of Pacific steamers, havo arranged for building wharfs in the harbour ;of Realejo, which is henceforth to become their principal coal and provision depet, at which all their ateatners will stop both in their up ward and downward paysag s. This will be a grand improvement upon the present arrangements, and will lead to the ultimate abandonment of the Chagres and Panama route. Indeed, some dozen or more families have already lett Panama, to open establish ments here. An American hotel is now in operation in Granada, and in a few days one will be opens d it, this city. There are, probwily, not far from 100 Americans now making permanent establishments in the country; among these are the agents of several Californian houses, who are opening a trade in coffee, sugar, rum, rice, and other tropical productions. Central America must become, to Oregon and California, what tee West ludies have been and are, to the Eastern United States. There are now twelve sail in the port of Realejo, chiefly from San Francisco. This new impulse is everywhere per ceptiblp,, and has led t.) a marked revival of industry. The amount of land this year put under cultivation in this state tar exceeds that of any previous year since the in dependence. The crop of corn will be double that of '49.

GALE V. GILLIESPIE. This was an action to recover the sum of 31. 14s. for rent. The defendant pleaded non-occupancy, but the evidence was conclusive on the pat of the plaintiff. Mr. YORSTON, of Clifford's Inn, appeared for the defendant, and submitted that the plaintiff could not recover judgment for more than the debt, as by the 128th section cf the County Courts Act, persons not coming within the exception of that clause, which enacted that all suits formerly instituted in the superior courts for less than 201. shall be brought in the county court of the district where the debt or some material point arose; and by the 29th section it was enacted, that in cases where the plaintiff sued in the superior courts he should only recover a verdict for the amount of the debt, and no costs. The Learned SECONDARY said that the case was sant down from the court above on a writ, and he was bound to make a return. Mr. YORSTON said that this course compelled the plaintiff to apply to a judge to enter a suggestion on the record to deprive plaintiff of costs—this was a matter of course, but entailed great expense ; but Mr. Justice Coleridge, at chambers, bad, on the 20th March, 1850, in a case " Bell v. Freemantle," set aside a judgment fur delpndant and costs. The Learned SECONDARY held that he must enter the verdict for the full amount. SHERIFF'S t-MALL DEBTS COURT. (THIS DAY.) IMPORTANT TO LICENSED VICTITALLERS.-LEWI3 V. BERRY. The plaintiff in this action — was lately landlord cf the Catherine Wheel, in Catherine Wheel-square, Bishops gate, and the plaint was laid for 10s. 3d. tbr the balance of an account for beer, &c., supplied on account of the defendant. Defendant's wife appeared and challenged the accu racy of the account, and admitted that she had run up the score for herself and companions, without the know ledge of her husband. The Learned JUDGE said that it was a very hard thing for a man to be caned upon to pay these secret scores for gin and beer; publicans ought not to allow it. Plaintiff , aid that their business could not ba carried on if they did not occasionally give credit. Tne Learned JUDGE—WeII, I thick you acted very improperly, for you had no authority from the husband, and as wf at she had were not necessaries, according to her station in life, you ere not legally entitled to recover. Judgment for the defendant. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) John Morgan, late waiter at the Somerset Coffee house, Strand, was charged with having stolen a 51. note, and a cash-box containing a 101. note, some sove reigns, and several valuable documents, the property of his master. Alexander Stewart, the proprietor of the Somerset Coffee-house, deposed that the prisoner had been in his employ for some months past, and that lately he had given him warning. On the night before last the priso ner stopped out all night, and on the following morning a 5/. note, which had been kept for some time in a chif fonier, was missing. He returned the next morning about eight o'clock, quite intoxicated. Nothing was said to him, and during the day he went through his work. About a quarter-past seven o'clock he was seen to go through the bar with his box on his shoulder, and not returning for the remainder of his wages, suspicion was aroused. The placo was st arched and the cash. box found missing, which contained, in addition to the money, several very valuable documents. Several of the documents abstracted from the cash. , box were found on the prisoner. He was remanded for a week. THAMES.—(THIS DAY.) ROBBERY OF 3,0001. WORTH OF GOLD DUST.—Peter Vanderhost, a Dutchman, formerly steward of the Ba tavia, Rotterdam steamer, aged 40, Fitzbonness, a Ger• man touter, 28, Margaret Hermann, a German, 41, and Conrad Hermann, 48, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing gold dust and lumps of gold, lately brought from California, to the amount of 3,000/., in a Get man lodging house, kept by a Mrs. Wernech, in Little Alie•street, Whitechapel, on Monday night last. Mr. Pelham appeared for Hermann and his wife; M. Strauss, a respectable German linguist, acted as interprets r. It appeared that two foreigners, named Giacomo Tuetta, an Italian, described in the police-sheet as a landholder, and Nicola Prosper Calliaux, a Frenchman, arrived trom California a few days ago with gold worth 3,000/, and hired apartments in Mrs. Wernech's house, where all the prisoners were engaged as servants. The owners of the gold went to Vauxhall on Monday night, and during their absence their rooms were broken into, and the gold abstracted. On Tuesday night, at a late hour, in consequence of information to police-sergeants Foay and Macintosh, 3 H, with Gifford 89 H, repaired to a German lodging. house, No. 45, Bear-street, at the back of the St. Katherine's Dock, where they found Vander host concealed, and took him into custody, when he dropped on the floor a few lumps of gold, part of the stolen property, and equal in weight to one hundred sovereigns, which Macintosh seized. Tuetta and Calliaux bad no doubt it was their gold. Vandcrhost made a statement to Sergeant Foay, implicating the other prisoners, who were ap prehended, and also implicating Christian. A great many witnesses were examined, who made oat a strong case against the prisoners who broke into the rooms rented by Tuetta and Calliaux, and plundered their boxes of the precious treasure. It was a!No proved that Fitz bonness took Christian and Vanderhost to the house of a man named Lyons, in Cooper's-row, Tower-hill, shortly after the rubbery, and said ttiey were emigrants proceeding to New York yid London, and had just arrived, and induced Mr. and Mrs. Lyons to receive them as lodgers. Lyons heard of theirobbery in the course of Tuesday, and, suspecting his lodgers, turned them out of the house. Foay and Macintosh had no doubt Christian was in possesAion of the rest of the gold, and believed he could not escape. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT . (THIS DAY.) MOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shc.rtiv after Twelve. THIRD READINGS. The following Bills were read a third time and passed:— Mat , chester Bonding. St. Thomas's ll.)spital Estate. SECOND READINGS. Cavendish's (or Harcourt's) Estate Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. STANDING ORDERS. On the motion of Mr. ILSON PA fTEN, it was ordered that the following Committee should be appointed to revise the standing orders of the House relative t. private Bills :—Mr. Wilson Patten, Mr. Bernal, Mr. Greene. Mr. Henley, Sir Hobart Ferguson, Mr. Wright son, Mr. Evelyn D,-.n6on, Mr. Tatton Egerton, Mr. Sotberon, Captain Jones, Sir Henry Willoughby, Mr. Brotherton, and Mr. Thornely. A great number of petitions were presented fur and agaiu.t the recent alterations in the Post-office. - Mr. DU.NCAN presented a petition from Edinburgh egainit certivn clauses in the Friendly Societies Bill. Lord DUDLEY STUART presented a petition from an individual in the metropolis against the erection of the proposed building in Hyde-park. Mr. WAWN gave norice that on the bringing up of the rep,rt on the Mercantile Marine Bill he would move that the Bill should be recommitted. POOR RELIEF BILL. The Poor Relief Bill vtas read a third time and passed. POOR RELIEF (CITIES AND TOWNS). Mr. SHAFTO ADAIR moved the second reading of the Poor Relief (Cities and Towns) Bill. Mr. T. EGERTON submitted to the Hon. Member whether it would not be a more prudent course for him to withdraw the Bill at once, as he considered there would be .no chance of its passing during the present session. Mr. S. ADAIR felt bound to call the attention of the House and the Government to the object and provisions of the Bill. It did not apply to the agricultural district.), but simply to cities and towns. As a❑ instance of,the inequality of rating in cities in towns, he might state that in one parish in Cambridge the rates were 4d. in the pound, in another 2d., in a third Is. 2d., and in a fourth is. 3d., and it was his firm belief that in Lon don and the larger cities similar inequalities existed. Ile believed also that the principle of the Bill ought to be extended to more unions than he proposed to eiTend it, and he hoped that the House, by reading the Biil a second time, would approve of the principle. Mr. E. ELLIS seconded the motion. Mr. T. EGERTON moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. BAINES opposed the Bill. He hoped that the Hon. Member would not think it necessary to press forward with the Bill at this late period. He thought that the whole question was bound up with the question of settlement, and they could not expect to see either of them settled separately. It was for this reason that he hoped the Hon. Member would not press forward this Bill. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY, though he regretted that the Bill had not been brought in before this period of the session, was unwilling that the principle should be negatived. He believed that the Bill was well calcu• lated to remedy many of the evils which existed in con sequence of the present system both in cities and towns and also in country districts. Mr. V. SMITH - complained that the Right Hon. Gen tleman the President of the Poor-law Board, when he begged the Lion. Mover of this Bill to withdraw his Bill because it was bound up with the large question of rating and settlement, had not pledged himself to bring some measure of his own forward un this subject. Sir G. GREY said, with regard to what had fallen from the Hon. Alderman, nothing had been said upon the principle of the Bill by any 'Wernher who had spoken. He could say that the valuable reports which had been alluded to had been under the consideration of Government for some time, and they hoped to be able to bring forward tome measure on the subject early in the next session. Beyond this he would nut wish to pledge himself. Mr. SHAFTO ADAIR consented to withdraw the Bill. After what had fullen from the Right Ilunuurable Baronet who last addressed them he could not persevere with the Bill. After some further discussion the Bill was withdrawn. COMPOUND HOUSEHOLDERS' BILL. Sir WM. CLAY moved the second reading of this Bill, which was intended to confer the franchise upon parties who weep entitled to, but did not enjoy it. The House was aware that in London and other large towns the landlords of a certain class of houses, with a rental Of 101. and upwardi ' compounded f o r th e p ayment of the rates, with advantage to the parish as well as to the tenant; and the consequence was, that the occupiers of those houses were not re turned as rata -payers, and they were consequently deprived of the privilege of the franchise. At present the occupier had to make an annual claim to be placed on the register of voters, and the object of this Bill was to render all subsequent applications unnecessary after the first cLim had been made and allowed. As the law now stood, very many thousand persons were excluded from the franchise who were el. arty entitled to it, and while he was ready to make any change in the details of the Bill, which the House might, upon consideration, think necessary, he hoped there would be no objection to readi l y, it a second time, and affirming its principle. Mr. :NEWDEGATE said this very same Bid stood for a second reading on the 26th of July last, and now that stage w:-,s prepared to be taken three days earlier this s, ssion. List year tie Government thought the Bill was too important to be real a second time at so late a period of the session, and for the same reason he should oppose the motion now. Lord Denman, in his time, warned the Legislature not to triflq with this sub ject. That Learned Lord ar.id, if this practice were to prevail it would open the door to enormous frauds. He (Mr. Newdegate) did not see that the necessity for this Bill was pressing, for the returns presented to this House showed the number of borough electors throughout the country were greatly on.the increase. He therefore felt it his duty t. move that this Bill be read a second time this day three months. Sir GEORGE GREY did not feel any hesitation in supporting the second reading of this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) The objects of the Bill came entirely within the spirit of the Reform Act, and was far from identical with the Bill of last session, as had been stated by the Hon. Member (Mr. Newdegate). Sir E. N. BUXTON said he had no hesitation in giving his assent to the Bill. There were thousands of persons quite as fit to vote as those who did vote, but who were at present disfranchised for want of such a Bill as this. It enabled persons who actually lived in a 10/. house, though they were not in point of law chargeable with the payment of rates, to vote as well as those who actually paid the rates. He would not say the machinery of this Bill was exactly what he could wish.—(" Hear," from the Opposition.) But that was not the question. The question was, whether the House would allow a great number of persons, who really were qualified to vote in point of the value of their houses, to be disfranchised simply because the landlord and not they paid the rates. Mr. TRELAWNY rose to advocate the principle of the extension of the suffrage, and to claim the vote of the Right Hun. Baronet opposite, in consequence of his late speech on the Irish franchise, and he could not see how he could refuse it. It had been said by the lion. Member for Warwickshire that the voters were diminish ing in counties and in towns. He could not see, then, bow that Honourable Member could refuse his support to this Bill. He must say, however, that if there were anything proposed in that House bearing the character of progress, they wet e sure to find one of the Members for Warwickshire opposing it, and generally the other Member supporting his colleague.--(Laughter.) After a few words from Sir E. WILLOUGHBY and Sir G. PECRELL, Sir W. CLAY replied, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the second reading Against it ... ... 80 II" ••• sm., ... 24 Majority ... ... —56 The Bill was then rear; a second time. (LEFT SITTING.) THE FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH WESTER It RAILWAY BASINGSTOKE, TUESDAY.—Last night an inquest, which did not terminate until a very late hour, was held at the Railway Tavern, Basingstoke, before J. C. Shebbeare, Esq., the coroner for North Hants, and a jury of 13 •of the principal inhabitants, on the body of William Samuel Junes, aged 27, who was frightfully mutilated and killed—four other persons being thrown out and slightly injured—on Sunday morning last, near Old Basing, a short distance from Basingstoke, owing to one of the down excur sion-trains to Southampton suddenly going into another. In the course of the evidence it was stated by more than one witness who had travelled by the same train as the deceased, that some of the passengers persisted, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the guards, in mounting upon the seats to watch the progress of the other train ; and that, in their opinion, had it not been for this indiscretion, no accident would have occurred. Having heard some additional evidence, the Jury consid,red that there was no blame and returned a verdict of " Accidental D ea th . " , ANOTHER INCENDIARY FIRE AT YIENDON.--Yel3- terday morning, at a few minutes before six o'clock, the pa rish of Hendon was thrown into a state of considerable con fusion in consequence of another fire breaking out, makin g the third that has oceurred in the same district within a week. The flames originated in the rick-yard of the pre mises belonging to Mr. Samuel Nicoll, known as Hyde farm, and when discovered were raging furiously in a stack of hay containing fifty or sixty loads. The farm servants and labourers of the district, to the number of nearly sixty, set to work and eventually succeeded in extinguishing the flames, but not until one-third of the rick was destroyed. From the part in which the fire commenced, not the least doubt is entertained but that it was the work of some vile incendiary. Mr. Nicoll was insured in the Royal Exchange Fire-office. RUYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The ex hibition of the Royal South London Floricultural Society was .ield in these gardens yesterday. Several large mar quees were erected, under the shelter of which the various specimens of plants and flowers were arranged. The collec tion was highly creditable to the society. Among th', smaller flowers the piccotees attracted most notice. Our limits do not permit us to publish the very long list of prizes awarded. The usual entertainments followed, and the pyrotechnic die. play was extremely good, notwithstanding the then unfa vourable state of the weather, and the company was more numerous than could reasonably have been expected. Th e musical performances in the orchestra were admirably good. Vice Juilien ! It has been suggested that amid-day exhibi tion of the passage of the French troops over the Alps might be given with good effect. We once saw it partially ex ecuted in day tune, and assuredly the progress of the French army and the appearance of the distant columns had a better effect in some respects than by night.

Court, MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHAN GE-WEDNESDAY The supply o: English Wheat on salo to-day was chiefly the refuse of that exhibited on Monday. As the attendance of millers was small, the demand for all de scriptions ruled very inactive, but we have no decline to notice in the quorations. Upwards of 8,000 qu.trters of foreign Wheat have reached us this week. Selected samples were held firmly, at full rates of currency. In the middling and inferior kinds very little business doing. Sc.acely any English Barley was on show; but the quantity of foreign was extensive. Malting parcels sold steedily at full prices ; but grinding and distilling sorts welts neglected. _ _ . Malt, the supply of which was small, moved off slowly at late rates. Good sound Oats were quite as dear. Damp qualities wore almost nominal. Beans, Peas, and• Flour commanded very little attention.

THE SECURITIES FOR ADVANCES BILL.—DEPU TATION TO LORD JOHN RussELL—A t'eputation from the attorneys and solicitors of Ireland engaged in cases pending in the Encumbered Estates Court, waited by appointment on the First Lord of the Tuasury, at his private residence, Chesham.place, on Saturday last, to press on the consider tion of Government the importance of reintroducing the Security for Advances Bill, as brought in by the present Attorn;y-General. The deputation wss accompanied by a large number of Irish Members. Having stated their object and pointed out the evils which would arise from Sir J. Roadlly's Bill being held over til: next session, they were in formed by Lord John Russell that the views of the G .vern ment had not been changed in reference to the principle or the Bill ; considering, however, the opposition which the Bill had experienced, he thought the most judicious cour se would be to bring it forward again next session. If, however, the opposition were 11 , 1 persevered in, it would be matter for the consideration or the Government whether they would not yield to the wishes expressed, and re-int ro d uce i t this ses sion. The deputation then retired, and i mme di ately put themselves hi communication with Mr. Stuart, who led the opposition to the Lill in the House of Commons, the result of which was, that yesterday that H on . G ent l eman refused to withdraw or modify his oppositi on to t h e measure, and the Bill will not be re-introduc e d unt il the next session. GREAT EXIIII3ITION OF 1851 . —Yesterday a public meeting of the inhabitants of the united parishes of St. An drew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, was held in the large ball of the workhouse, Little Gray's Inn-lane, for the purpose of taking into co u s i dera .i on the most adequate means of promoting the success of this national undertaking, and to farm a local commis tee for the same purpose.

Yet still with his fame the whole lan,d ring s g In the slumber of death he is silent for ev er ; No more may his accents the nation rejo ice — The nation who loved him, the nation who never Can hearken ag a in to her orator's voice. Our dreams of hi,s future have died in theirsplen d°ll4 eat s; Have di e d w ith hi s d; a th, an d are drowned with our tee Alas! that one moment of anguish can render Thus vain and evasive the vision of years. Alas! that the genius a realm is lamenting f a day; Should thus have been quenched by the p an g s 0 Should tempt the Destroyer who knows no relenting, And sink with ore sigh to the depths of decay.
