ROBBERY OF CALIFORNIAN GOLD TO THE AMOUNT OP 3,060/.—This mornit.g soon after Mr. Ingham had taken his seat on the bench, Peter Christian Steffen, a German, aged 32, who absconded a firtnight ago, and Conrad Hontann, a German, aged 48, were placed in the dock, charred with being concerned with Fritz Tonnesa and Peter Varderhost, who have already teen committed for trial, in stealing Californian gold to the amount of 3,0001., the property of Giacomo Suetta, an Italian, and Nicola Prosper Calliana, a Frenchman. M Strauss acted as interpreter, and Mr. Pelham de fend,d Ilotnann, who, it will be recolleoled, was in cu-- tody a week upon remand, and was discharged on Wed nesday by Hr. Yardley, who did not consider the evidence sufficient to satisfy his l'ariher detention. Last niz'at he was again taken icto ctwody by• policc strgeant fielby, No. 2 FI, who row brought forward additinnal eviJenco egainat him. Steffen eluded the ac7iTo . search made for him until yester day evening, when in consequent o of information rentived by astinis polir , e ser2eant, No. 7 ' D. 'he repaired to a lodging-house. No. 15, Great New port-street, Newport-market, where he : , .und the pri soner B;effai, and took him into caszAy. ilfirdwiek :Stated that ho bad made diligent-saarab in the house for the missing gold, but could find no trace of it, and that he only found a 2n dollar no!s and a small sum in English money in the prisoner's possov,ion. The proucutor and other witnesses were examine'', and detailed the circum,tinses ok the buiglary and rob bery. It was stead by Ko?ly and other officers, and alto by the woman Kirby, that her room could not be reached without passing through Homenn'a room, and that he and his wife were at home on the night in questiun. Homann admitted to Kelly that. he saw Steffen and Fritz Tonnese go up stairs, cud that he was tficr wards drniticg with Tonness reverApubliu-lionses. In answer to a glestion by Mr. INGRA2I, Gifford stated thet he had not yet succeeded in tracing the large qusreity of gold stolen, and he believed it was secreted in some foreign lodging-house, and that none of the pri soners hod yet ream ei any profit by it. • Pelice-sergeant Price, 1.5 11, deposed that the prisoner Steffen was brought to the Lemse-street statien-house last night, and that, after being cautioned, he made a Statement in German, which was taken down in writing. Atter being interpreted to him by a German linguist, it was to the following etf,nt t— tt Fritz Tonnes fetched the geld dust from No. 9 room up No. 19, Little Alie-street, Weliclose-scputre, to the kitchen in the same house, where I we sit ting at work. Fritz asked me if I had not done work, if you have I should like you to come end take a pint of beer. Fritz cent out. I went cut atter to the Castle public-house, and took a pint of beer alone. I then returned. Shortly after Fritz and Homanu came in and took me out,to another putdic-house, I believe to the Flying Horse; then we all and came home to gether, nod Fritz gild me he had it from No. 9 room, and ho would now fetch it troth No. 6. He went out of the kitchen lend afterwards erne back and said, if you mention a word I'll kill you. I said I would have nothing . to do with it, and I went into Ho- mann's room. Hotnann said, why won't you do it with u.? I said, I won't make myself miserable. liomann shrugged his shoulders, and I went out of the room to the kitchen. Fritz fol lowed me into the long room and said, I will ki;l you if you say a word. I then left him, and Fritz fed lowed me to the kitchen. He said, I have taken all the gold out of No. 6 room, and said, I shall remain in the servants'-room. I waited with the servant-girl, and Fritz and the Dutchman went out through the window. Homanu was watching on the stairs. Fritz came back, and threw something over the wall. Fritz and the Dutchman picked it up together. I was obli g ed gO with them. I was rather drunk at the time. Fritz took me to the woman that washes for me, and Fritz ords red two half-gallons of beer. Fritz handed over the gold to Lyons. After that I saw no mere of it. Fritz came the next morning and said, You meet way here till I come again -in the afternoon. Fritz came with one of the bills which offered a reward; and when it was dark Fritz came again and said, Trey will take you, and you must cut it. Lyons came acre and offered me a bundle. I refused to take it, and, the Dutchman took it. Lyons then bundled ma out of the house. I went over London-bridee, wrote a letter, walked the streets all night, and then took the room where I was apprehended. The money (gold) is with Lyons. I believe the carpet-bag and money is with Lyons or the Dutchman. The money and carpet-bag was taken to Lyons' house, and I never saw it afterwards; I bad a few shillings in my - pocket, and Lyons gave me 3s. 6d. Fritz, Hotnann, and myself had something to drink in Homann's room before we left. Mr. Isomot asked the ptisoner Steffen if he now adhered to the statement made to Sergeant Price, and he replied in the afficmstive. Mr.. INGHA.3I remanded the prisoners, and intimated there was sufficient evidence already given to commit Steffen for trial. MRS. FANNY KEMBLE'S READ INGS OF SHAK:32ERE. This celebrated lady has been engaged by Mr. Mit chell fur six readings of Shakspere, at the St. James's Theatre, and last evening she r. ad the Midsummer Night's Dream. It was a delightful entertainment, and gave us a keener feeling of the beauties of this exqui site play than wo have ever been able to derive either from its private perusal or its representation on the stage. Mrs. Kena:..:e's reading, iod fed, is perfect; quite. free trona the.he.7.vinesti and monotony to which this kind of entertaiument is liable, and on the contrary full of grace, animation, and variety. Shakspere's charming poetry derived fresh charms from the finely modulated tones cf her mellow voice, arid she showed a most intellectual comprehension of the author, bringing out many delicate benuties and traits of meaning, which, to us at least, had the effect of novelty. Her discri mination of the characters was admirable. The timid, gentle Helena, and the impetuous Ilermia, could not blve Neu better distinguished had they stood before us iu t.vo separate persons. The scenes of Bottom and his fellow clowns, without being in the least overcharged, were lively and amusing. Bottom's way of making him ,sell at home with Titania and the fairits was irresistibly ludicrous. In truth, her reading of these scenes showed a richness of comic humour which we had never observed in her acting. Mrs. K mble looked exceedingly well, and seemed to be itt excellent health and spirits. No thing cold be warmer ruin her reception by a large and, fashionable audience. Bursts of applause followed the most remarkable passages; and, after she had retired, . the long continued plaudits brought her fOrward again to make heracknowledg men t s . Th e rema i ning plays which • . she is to. read are the Me r ry ,Wives of Wind sor , Mea sure for Measure, Much Ado . about Noth3ng, and the Merchctnt of Venice. There could not be a better se lection. INCUMBEREWSSTATES IN IRELAND.—Yesterday a Parliamentary paper was issued, containing soma observa tions lay the Commissioners upon the subject of their distri bution of the funds arising from the sale of incumbered es tates in Ireland and the transfer of any part thereof into die Court of Chancery. It appears that the Commissioners have sold more than half a million's worth of property, and of that sum they, hope to distribute the entire in their court with the exception of 25,0001., wbich may be transferred to the Court of Chancery. About 100,0001. has been already dis tributed. The Commissioners hope without any assistance ~ from any other court to distribute 200,0001. before vacation and 200,008. more in the month of October; they add " that there is no part of their practice which gives the public such satisfaction as the readiness with which . pay ments are made when the rights of parties are correctly as certained. IMPORTA ['ION OF BRANDY.—A vessel which has just arrived in the docks from Charente, has brought an ex traordinary large cargo of brandy, comprising 70 puucheors, • 700 hogsheads. 367 smaller casks, and 1,048 cases of the spirit, trie produce of F rance. The value of this cargo, with reference to the high duty leviable on the article, murt have been very large. Since the rains have set in there nave seen symp toms of a blight. The wheat in many parts of the Weald is • partially blighted; but we hope that it will not be found strong enough, or widely spread enough, to injure the gene ' ral crop. Still there is a blight, and it will not be until the sickle is at work that we shall be able to judge of its exteut. The weather has been against, the pea harvest, but many pieces are cut; the crop varies, and will not be a heavy yield generally. The flea has attacked the turnips, and most of tho backward ones are irretrievably gone, there being very few pieces to be found where there is a plant. The po tato disease has shown itself rather extensively this week, . .• and greet fears are now entertained for the safety of the crop. Rips are improving, and the estimated duty stands at 200,0001.—Brighton Gazette. Martha Sharpe was yesterday cam m:tf ed from Worship-street, charged with attempting to poison Mr. J.

The first question -d►scussed was ,the proposition to establish a general `!system of—insurance for the forty-six German railways represented by the Congress. But although the utility of such a mersure was recol4Lisecl, it wr.s represented that no authority exi.,ted to ef.‘me to a-„deeision uhieh would bind the ....hareholders, the regetsentathes not having full powers so Wad, and thtrAterugress con sequently only passed 'tr resolution, 'expressing the wish that such an association should be ; vM!✓~+_ LONDON, established, with the mutual guarantee of the real and personal properties of the com panies. It was afterwards decided that each of the companies should draw up the statistics, which would be required to serve as the basis of the arrangement. A proposition for establishing a certain uniformity of tariff for the conveyance of goods on the railways from Cologne to Vienna was referred to a special committee, which was charged to make an early report. The Prussian Government has appointed M. d'Auerswald Chief President of the Rhenish pro vinces, M. Eichmann of the province of Prussia, M. de Flottewell of the province of Brandenburg, M. de Duesberg of the province of WeAtphalia, M. de Benin of the province of Posen, M.

The Cologne Gazette, on authority of a letter from Berlin of the 29th ult., states that it is now certain that Austria has invited the German Governments to nominate seventeen envoys to the Germanic Diet. We read in a letter fr(;nl Frankfort of the 29th ult. —" This morning M. 11.lathis opened the dispatches which recal him as Plenipotentiary to the Congress, and all the representatives of the states which have adhered to the Prussian Union withdrew with him.

This Bill was rind a second :imc. IIIUSEIIIII6 AND LIBRARIES BILL. This bill was read a second time. PETITIONS. Lord BROUGHAM preseuttd a petition, prayinz for the enfrancilizemett of copyholds. EIYDE-VARIi. Lord BROUGHA underetood that it was intended to pave the read from Hytie-park-corner to Kensington with huge blocks of granite iu the nature of paving etones, and he wished to know if it was true or not, tied it a similar operation was to take place in the Park itself, which would render it more safe for waggons to eo upon, his: not for persons to ride upon. Thia was one of the consequence of the new law that the Attorney- General was toe s ;le judge o: all cases be tween the subjects and the Crown, and exercising judiciously a more than judicial power, a power which uu attorney had any right to assume, and the Attorney- General was, according to Sir Robert Farmer, only the attorney to the King, and he exercised it by giving judgment in his chamber in favour of Lis client. There was no petty prince in Germany, eurkey, or Russia, who was more absolute than the Sovereign of this realm, if the opinion of the Attor ney-C-eneral was to be taken in opposition to the opinions of those lawyers who had been engaged in hundreds more cases tha❑ the Attorney or Solicitor- General. Ile had neeer received more hartfelt thanks than he had from the persons engaged in this case. There was dead silence in this House and in the other House when the case was mentioned, which proved the power there was when the name of Prince was tttered. The LORD CHANCELLOR had not on a former oc casion thought tit to entertain the discussion, because he thought it was irregu!ar. He did not think it right to express an opinion so long as the case might come before ihe House in another manner. When his Noble Friend said the other House was silent, he thought his Noble Frieud could not have consulted the early channels of information, because the Attorney-General had given en answer which he considered perfectly legal and satisfactory, as he should bo prepared to show when the subject should be brought before their Lord ships in a regular manner. As to the quotation of his Noble Friend, it merely went to show that the Attorney- General represented the public es an attorney repre sented his client. He represented the public, and in a case of this sort it was ; did these people represen the public and complain of public wrong. They did not. Were they private persons they could proceed by indictment if they had suffered indirect wrong ; if they came as representatives of the public, the Attorney- General was the proper judge. This park was the property of the Crown, and he took it that she Attorney-General had exercised a sound discretion and was responsible for what he had done. Let his Noble Friend then bring this before the Rouse in a regular manner, and he would not fail to prove to the satisfactionof every impartial man, that the Attorney- General had exercised a sound discretion.--(llear, bear.) Lord BROUGHAM said it was a common course to meet questions by this course on presenting a petition, and if his Noble Friend bad no better foundation in law, than i❑ his knowledge of the rules of Parliament he would foil in proving his case. He had a perfect right on presenting a petition:to open the a hole case. No One, ever denied that the Attorney-General had the right to act as ho had done, but the whole question was as to dis- cretion, and he repeated that this was not a tree country if the Attorney-General refused access to the courts of law and equity. The LORD CHANCELLOR explained. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose to answer the question about paving. He contended' that his Noble ;slid Learned Friend had departed from the orders of House in entering into a discussion as to the functions of the Attorney-General on the presentation of a peti tion. In answer to the question, he had to state that the persons who had to erect the building had undertaken to pave the way from the gate to the building. Lord BROUGHAM—Not the road? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—Not the road. Lord BROUGHAM was very glad to hear it, and placed the moss implicit trust in the statement of his Noble Friend. LIVERPOOL PETITION FORGERS. Lord BEAUMONT brought up the report of the Committee on the Liverpool petition forgers. The re oort stated that they were of opinion that due precaution has not taken place, but that there was no evidence to prove that the parties engaged in getting up the petition had abetted the commission of these forgeries, although there was great carelessness exhibited on the part of the promoters of the petition, and that they were guilty of gross neglect. The report and evidence was ordered to be printed. Lord MONTEAGLE gave notice that he should on Thursday draw the attention of the louse to this subject. COUNTY COURTS EXTENSION. _ _ _ Lord Beaumont and other Peers were appointed to manage the conference with the Commons on the County Courts Extension Bills. IRISH COURT OF CHANCERY BILL. _ _ _ Lord BROUGHAM moved that this Bill do pass, and he hoped that the Bill would not be stopped in the House of Cominons, as it was of the utmost importance to the poor suitors that it should pass. &The Bill was then passed. CIVIL LIST. Lord BROUGHAM then rose to move for the returns relating to the retrenchments in the Civil List, of which he had given mace, and was (LEFT SPEARING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve o'clock. CONSIDERATION OF LORDS' AMENDMENTS.

CRIME AND OUTRAGE ACT (IRELAND) CON TINUANCE BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. M. J. O'CON.NELL said, that as the Bill in.- volved forfeitures and penalties, it should have originated in the Honse of Commons, and not in the Lords, and as the present Bill was first introduced in the Lords it ought to he rejected. The SPEAKER, was of opinion that the Bill should be 1., jeet . Al, and another measure brought in. Lord J. RUSSELL thought after what had fallen from the Speaker it would not be advisable to proceed with this Bill. The Bill was then laid aside by order of the House. Lord J. RUSSELL then asked for leave to bring in a similar Bill. Mr. HUME said he had come down to the House prepared to vote against the measure, and he thought the Government ought to state the grounds on which they proposed to extend the provisions of the Bill to Ireland for a further period. Sir W. SOMERVILLE said he had no objection to state the reasons which ir.duced the Government to pro pose the continuance e,"t . the Act. It was a gratifying circumstance that b.e was not able to point, as was thane when the origin:Al Bill was introduced, to a long list of crimes and stitrages.—(Bear.) On the contrary, the condition cid:lreland as regarded crimes and outrageehad greatly i.mproved since the Act was passed.—(Hear.) Still there were circumstances which made it necessary that they should not deprive Ireland of the benefits of the measure. The two objections which bad been urged to the measure were, that it was of a coercive character, and would not answer the object for which it was intro duced. Now neither of those prophecies had been ful filled; on the contrary, it had not proved to be a severe measure of coercion to any party except evil doers, while it had been comp!etely efficient in checking crimes and outrages.—(Hear.) The judges had at the last as sizes allud-.d in gratifying terms to the pre sent tranquillity of Ireland, and there could be no doubt that a grcsst 'part of that tranquillity was owing to the operations of this measure.—(Hear ) It would be an act o:gre:st indiscretion to allow arms to fall into the hands of improper persons, and permit the peace and general trarquillity which prevailed to be dis turbed by the commission of fresh crimes. If there wss any thing to complain of it was that the provisions of the Bill bad been administered temperately and firmly, and, he believed, wisely; and he would say again that it would be unwise on the part of the House to risk the existing trerqudlity, by removing from the Lord Lieutenant those powers which he thought it neces sary to be entrusted with, and through the continuance of which the tranquillity of the country might be placed on a more permanent basis —(Hear.) The Right Hon. Gentlemaii concluded with a motion for leave to bring in a Bill on the subject. Colrnsl DIJI` , INE said he would not oppose the Bill if the Government ccnsirkred it necessary for the safety of Ireland, but he thought the period for its continuance should be as limited as was consistent with the puslic safety._ _ _ Mr. S. CRAWFORD felt himself under the necessity of opposing the re-inirofiu.ction of the Bill, which it would be recollected he opposed on a farmer coca. sion us being a measure of coercion that ought not .to be placed over the people of Ireland. The extermi nations and clearances which had taken place in that country were the chief cause of the outraeets and crimes committed by the people, and until the present ysiena of tenant right was placed on a better footing much of the existing abuses would he continued. The lion. Gentleman alluded to the letters of "G. S. 0." in the Times, for the purpose of showing the wretched condition of the peasantry (many of whom he found lying in ditches under the sire's , and rubbish of their demolished houses), and that a very large amount of their misery was occasioned by the wanton and unfeeling sett; of landowners. Government ought to take some steps to put down the evictions which are constantly occuring in Ireland before they called upon the House to pass a Clime and Out rage Bill, at a time when the country was perfectly tranquil. It was far be:ter to remove the cause of ciime than to enact laws far its punishment. One of the most exciting causes was the absence of a tenaec right rccogniz'd by the lewieand he must decline to support any Bill of this nature till the landlord and Tenant question had been satisfactorily set at rest. The late Sir Be bert Peel, when he attempted to pass a Bill of a similar character to this, Is as told by the Noble Lord at the head of the present Government that coercion Bills should not be sent to Ireland unaccom panied by measures of relief, and since that declaration carried the Noble Lord into power, he insisted upon his now acting upon it. Ho might, however, be told that already Government had done all they could to improve the condition of Ireland, and perhaps he would be re minded of the Encumbered Estates Act, but though the improvement of Ireland w as the objf.ct of that Act, it had served to promote evictions, and increase the miseries of the people. Fifteen years ago the House recognized the right cf Irish tenants to something in the shape of protection against his landlord, and repeated, though futile, bad been the attempts since then to establish the right by legislative enactment. But, in the mean time, Arms Acts and Coercion Bills had been carried without end. The time had, however, arrived when a stop must .be put to this mode ot proceeding; and now that the hopes of the Irish tenantry had been excited by the promises of her Majesty's Government, he warned "them that the passing of this Bill in the place of• some remedial measure would be productive of end less discontent and insurmountable difficulties. But, independently of all this, there was no necessity for this Bill; the country was tranquil, and comparatively free from extensive crime, why then persist in passing a bill of coercion? The other day when it was proposed to renew the Alien Act, the House of Lords refused the motion; there was no necessity for it, they said, but if. hereafter, any occasion for it should arise, then would be the time to ask for its renewal. Now, why could not the same course be adopted , with reference to this Bill? He con cluded by moving the following amendment:—That the distressed people of Ireland have borne unexampled suf ferings, produced by famine, and by evictions froni the soil, with praiseworthy submission to the laws; and it is the opinion of this House, that it is not just to renew and continue measures of coercion subversive of the consti tutional righte of the Irish people as British subjects, whilst the redress of acknowledged grievances connected with the laws which regulate the relations of landlord and tenant recommended to the consideration of Parlia ment in her Majesty's Speech, has been neglectedOr postponed. Mr. REYNOLDS seconded the amendment. The Eight Hon. Baronet (Sir W. Somerville) bad on this occasion adopted a different course to that of his prede aeasor in office when asking permission to suspend the constitution of Ireland, and to curtail the liberties .of the Irish people. The habit on former occasions was, to relate a long list of crime and outrage; but, the habit ot the present Secretary for Ireland was to ask permission to reenact the Act of the 20th December, 1847, and in doing so he said he was free to admit he could give no list of crime and outrage. There ,were indications of such thin t se the Right Honourable Gentleman said, but h o had not condescended to favour the House with any translation of the word in dication. He (Mr. Reynolds) denied that there was any political disturbance in Dublin, or any agi tation in Ireland at present. All agitation in Ireland was at an end; and because those pleasing re cults bad followed. tho Ri g h t H on. G ent l eman (Si r W, Somerville) came into that House, with about forty Members present, and demanded a suspension of the constitution of Ireland for four years, and the only excuse he gave was that Lord Clarendon had nut abased the provisions et that Act. He (Mr. Reynolds) would ask her Majesty's Government royal t submittedm igh i—f answeredhuthey iit was true, ° t . ;eel, L nevertheless . na nS:I. ter f ) T h H e h a e t they had made to the people of Ireland? Echo echo in the Paddy Blake sense—(Renewed laughter) this Bill was an insult to the people of Ire land, whom the Queen had declared wore loyal and might promisesb that an attached to her ; and the reward they were to get for that loyalty and attachment was, the suspension of the constitution, which suspension would hand them over to the tender mercies of whoever might represent the Queen in Ireland. He (Mr. Rey nolds) was not prepared to place the liberties of the people of Ireland in the hands of Lord Clarendon or any body else. A man holding the office of Lord-Lieutenrint was made of flesh and blood, and, like other men, he might abuse the powers which the law entrusted to him—(Cries of " Hear, hear'')—and, therefore, the name of Lord Clarendon ought not to have been introduced in connexion with this question. He (Mr. Reynolds) asked in the name of common justice if one House was prepared to sanction such a Bill as the Right Honourable Gentleman (Sir W. Somerville) had laid before them? If Hon. Members were so prepared, then he (Mr. Reynolds) would say the Irish people had nothing to expect from a British- Parliament. but "coercion, coercion, coercion."—(Elear, hear.) Mr. NAPIER supported the Bill. He was desirous of legislating in the most equitable spirit towards all parties in Ireland ; and ho hoped that, at all events, a very short period would elapse before the House of Commons would honestly and fairly legislate with a view to the. settle ment of the question of landlord and tenant.—(Rear.) But when the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir W. Somerville) came to ask the House for a measure which did not sus pend the constitution of Ireland—(Hear, hear)—which did not seek to interfere with the privileges of any honeot man, which only asked for the continuance for a short and limited period of powers which, if called into action at all, would only be called into action in the event of dieaffrction and disturbance again arising in Ireland, he (Mr. Napier) did not feel himself justified in withhold inghis support from such a measure. He thought it was quite right that the House should extend that power which they sought to the Government. In legislatiug fur Ireland, it was their duty to take the country as they found it. It was their duty to proceed with temperance and fairness—to look at both sides, and with a just regard to the circumstances of the poor. With:regard to the murder of Mr. Maulevere, to which the Hon. Gentleman had referred, he hal looked into the circumstances of the case, and had in quire • d into the proceedings of that gentleman for many years back, and he was unable to find one unjust or cruel act on the part of the victim of that bar barous murder. All his proceedings hod been marked with 'the utmost moderation and temperance. The Hon.. and Learned Getleman then went at some length :into the; case of Mr. Dlaulevere and others, in order to show that there was a deep-seated agrarien combination among the peasantry against the rthtsast property. Mr. HUME rase to order. They were at present called upon to vote on a Bill for the remedy of present evils, aud lion. Gentlemen were going into circara stauces which hod happened long ago. Mr. NAPIER detsreled the course he was taking. ILfO. Members had attached the landlords, and oppor tunity ought.to be allowed foisdefence.. lie should giv. his cordial support to the present measure, and also to their Landlord and Tenant Bill when it came on. Lord J. RUSSELL said he was anxious to address the House, because the Hon. Gentleman who seconded the motion had refused to grant a continuance of these powers to the Governinent fcr a limited time, on grounds with which he (Lord John Russell) could not agree. What the Hon. Gentleman in fact said was this— You haye had a law subsisting for some time by which you have changed the State of society teem one of pre valent crime and outrage, and of terror on the part of peaceable inhabitants—from one of murder and assassi nation, frequently end repeatedly committee, into one of peace, order, and tranquillity. Crime has greatly dimi nished ; these outrages have been far less fre quent than formerly—tho peaceable inhabitants, whether they be landlords, tenants, or labourers, have felt greater confidence than they have hitherto done— the country has consequently had those means of im provement which it cid not possess when erime and outrage ware the rules and orders of society; and because you have done this, and had powers entrusted to you by Parliament which we do not allege you have abused in establishing that tranqifillity, the Government is undeserving of our con fidetice; and therefore we refuse you such a continuance of those powers, and declare that you are utterly un worthy of the powers for which you now come forward to ask.—([fear.) Now he contended that that:was by no means a justification of the House refusing to grant a continuance of those powers.—(Hear.) He did not mean to say thattsuch powers were to be for ever continue d, but at the same time, when the Hon. Gentle man described them as subversive of the constitutional rights of the Irish people as British subjects, he did mean to contend that that was an erroneous de teriptiou of the poweta which were given by the Crimes and Outrages Act.—(Hear, hear.) It wa not an Act giving powers which in 1833 and 1334 were granted by Parliament to prevent any discussion in public meetings of any alleged grievances of the Irish people.—(Hear.) It was not an Act like former insur rection Acts, by which even peaceable inhabitants of a district were prevented going out at nights. It was not an Ac: which at all, es he thought, affected the legitimate rights of the innocent and pc ast able. On the contrary, it was an Act which gave power to the Lord-Lieutenant, when a district was in a state of disturbance, and when offhnces against the law were frequently committed -in it, to pre claim that district, and thereupon certain con sequences followed. The Lord-Lieutenant might place in that district an increased constabulary, which would be protection and security to the peaceable inha bitants of that district, end at the same time orders might be issued that fire-arms should not be held by any one except by porions to wnom liconces were granted for that purpose. And thews powers were not granted to kcal magistrates or persons at all effected by the local or political pas sions of the district, but they were committed to per sons named by the Executive Government.—(Hear, hear.) It was then not a right description of this :Ilea su-e to say that it was subversive of the constitutional rights of the reply. He was quite ready to admit that such powers should not be asked unless they were necettary for the welfare of the people for whom they were enacted; but he thought enough had been said on this subject to induce Lim to observe thet the Govern ment would Lot ask fur powers fur preserving the public pe aee if they did not feel confident teat the ordinary law,:witheut such extraordinary powers, weed i not enable them ton a:wain that peace.—(Hear.) Altaic very coathaencenicnt of the present Government it would be recollected they proposed the continuance of an Atrns Act, whicn they tound existing on the statute book, from the month of August until tine following May, so that in the meautene they might consider how it ope reted; and how it was rec e i ve d. But it was said that tee people of Ireland should have been allowed to exercise their own discretion on the subject, arel that ito arbitrary measure of the kind shuuid have been unposed on them without their consent. What, however, would save been the consequence if the Government had not consented to tike such porters from Parliament, and bad Itft the peace of the county t t be prestrved witffout the interfercr.ce of any act of the Government? The open purchase of arms by persene who procured them f the purpose o; disturbing the peace of the country, to make the high ways unsafe, would have lett the nidustrious farmer untafe and unprotected, and placed the whole country in a state of insecurity.—(flear, hear.) He contested he never telt the weight of responsibility morn than when he bed to consider the propriety of abandoning the continuance of a measure which had tended in a great degree to abate the state of ditturbaeca end insecurity which then existed. And if on that occasion he had a lesson read to him as to how he should act in future, it was that he should not prematurely part altogether with such powers as were given by the present Bid. Ile must, however, admit that though he did not consider that these powers were, as the Honourable Gentleman the iemLer for the city of Dublin had stated, sunversiver of the constitutional rights of the people, yet he did think they were extraordinary powers, and ought not to be granted by Parliament fur any long period, and he confessed a very fair objec tion might be taken to the period for which the continu ance of the Bill was originally proposed, but he should be quite satisfied if the Bill was allowed to continue from the 31st of December next until the end of mitt session, instead of for four years, as previously intended.—(Hear.) At the lapse of that time Parlia ment would again have the question before it, and would have to consider whether these powers ought to be continued ; but he would entreat tee House not at present to declare that such powers were quite unnecessary, and that the Lord- Lieutenant should be left during the whole of the autumn without any effectual means of quelling disturbances. The Hon. Gentleman the Member for Rochdale, who proposed the amendment, referred to the sub ject of legislation on the relations between land lord and tenant. Now the Government had re peatedly endeavoured to introduce a Bill which might give satisfaction on the subject to the coun try. Last year a Bill was referred to a Select Committee, and that Committee made a report, which was laid on the table of the House ; and in the present session another Bill was introduced by the Government, founded mainly on the result of the deliberations of that Coin-' cnittee, bat the subject was one of such extreme difficulty, and so much opposition was manifested to its provisions, that the Government were forced to come reluctantly to the conclusion that, so far from remedying the evils complained of, it would only aggravate the discontent and excitement that already existed on the subject. Then the Honourable Member for Rochdale was constantly starting objece tions, and while he opposed the Bill he asked for the insertion of other provisions, which ho (Lord John Russell) did not think to be of a nature that Parliament could sanction. He (Lord J. Russell) thought that while on the one hand they should give every Security to the tenant which legislation could give, it was not right on the other—when the engagement between - the landlord and tenant is that the tenant - should held his land for a certain term, such tenant being known to thelaw either as a tenant at will or for a then of years, it would not be right for the Legislature to step in and say, h We will make such a condition between the parties as will place the right to the property not in the land lord but in the tenant."—(Hear, hear.) It would be contrary to all principles of law and justice that Parlia ment should assent to such a principle. Ho thought that principle was not only unjust, but contrary to all the rules and maxims which guided the rights of property. Under those circumstances the Government were com pelled to say they would ptuse fur a time and cedes your to see whether such provisions as they had proposed could not be modified or amended, or whether other measures could be introduced which would give to tenants all the rights they could possibly ask for with out interfering with the acknowledged rights of landlords. —(Hear.) He did not think, however, that the absence of some provisions of that kind was a reason for refusing the sanction of the present Bill, though be was free to confess that the law as it at present stood was in a very unsatisfactory state. He did not think it advisable to enter into the consideration of other measures; such, for instance, as-that suggested by Mr. Napier, with regard to waste lands. Though the Government did abandon a Bill on that subject, they very much increased the sums which were advanced by the Exchequer for the purpose of what was called arterial drainage, and he thought it of much greater importance that they should increase the productive powers of land already cultivated by measures of that kind than apply their resources to entirely waste lands. which could not yield crops until after the lapse of a considerable period. —(Hear, hear.) He had no wish, however, to enter into any . disputed question on that or other subjects at present, • but would at once ask the House to give - the Government leave at least to bring in this Bill. It should be limited to two years, and he thought it would be imprudent on the part of the House if it did not concede these powers for the preser vation of the peace of Ireland, to which it was deemed on all hands the Acts of Parliament and the conduct of the Administration had tended.—(Cheers.) Mr. MORGAN J. O'CONNELL said that the cir cumstances under which this Bill had been originally introduced were very different from the present state of - Ireland, when everywhere there was tranquillity and obe dience to the law. He hoped that no time would be lout in settling this question, for they might rest assured that, if tieey did not, it would speedily settle itself. Mr. BRIGHT said that he had intended to have entered into the:e case of Mr. Mauleverer, in defence of the coroner, bad he supposed that the Honourable Gentlemen the Member for the Uni versity, of Dublin would have brought- it forward. With respect to the Bill itself he thought that no case had been made out for it. The cessation of crime and outrage in Ireland he attributed to other causes than the existence of this Act, and he certainly should vote against its continuance. Mr. NAPIER explained, stating that' he had not gone so fully into the case as hgmight have done. Mr. MOORE moved the adjournment of the debate. 1., , ,rd J. RUSSELL hoped that course would not be pursued, but that the House would allow the Bill to be introduced, and reserve any further discussion till the second reading._ _ _ Mr. C. ANSTEY complained that the rules of the House had been violated by the introduction of this quc4i3n without notice, and be sbouhd therefore oppose tee progress of the measure, and vote for the adjourn ment. Sir G. GREY observed that the former Bill Laving beet withdrawn, no notice for its re-introduction was Mr. S - GULLY said some returns bad been laid - upon the table within the last few days connected with the Atrlte (f crime and cutra'.:e in Ireland, and the debate ouf,tit to he 4djourrod tilt the I.l , ;u:se had had an opp:4- t t l2),%y 4.flookine . thew heti 2..eung 2f th , .r, teal:y ;,-r JA: Mr. M.CULLAGI-1 thought the statements of the , Hob. Member for the University tiere . calculated to create so much misapprehension, both in Ireland as well as in this House, that he could not allow the Bill to be introduced till he had attempted to contwe it. Mr. HUME called upon the Government to consent to the adjournment. The Bill praposed to suspend to a certain extent the Constitution in Ireland, and it ought not to be hurried through. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the adjournment 29 .Against it ... 89 Msjority ............—CO On our return to the gallery, we found Mr. HUME still urging upon Government the pro priety of adjourning the debate. Ho would not vote for the Bill tilt he had heard further reasons for it. Mr. BRIGHT complained that Irish measures were being hurried through in a most unseemly manner, and he protested against this mode of proceeding. Lord J. RUSSELL proposed to adjourn the question till after the other orders of the day, but he would pro mise not to bring it forward after 11 o'clock to-night. Lord CLAUDE HAMILTON looked upon the Bill as a measure of protection for the peaceful and orderly portion of the people of Ireland, and hu for one hoped it would be pressed forward with as much rupidtty as pos sible. He hoped Government would not lisi'en to the opposition of the mock friends of the poor to be found amongst some of the Irikh,Members who misrepresented their constituencies. _ _ _ Mr. REYNOLDS denied that those who opposed this B'll were the mock friends of the poor. Ir. BROTHERTON protested against the continu ance of this discussiop, which had no connexion with the Bill they bad b,cn debating. It was wasting the time of the House.—(Cheers.) Mr. A. STAFFORD urged the House to accept the toposal of Oita Noble Lord, and adjourn the debate at once. After a few words from Mr. C. ANSTEY, who moved the adjournment of the House, to enable him to speak again, the debate was adjourned till after the ether oreers of the day. The Howe ',Een a'3journed, at hall-past three, to half. past 'five o'clock. Tte louse resumed at Hair-past Tice. PETITIONS. Mr. HUTCHINS presented a petition from coll. miners in Forfarshire against the Coal-Miners Inspto tion Bill. Mr. REYNOLDS presented a petition from the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of Dublin, praying that the House would not pass into•law a Bill for the amendment of the Municipal Corporations of Ireland, and that if the Bill should pass into a law that the House would insert a clause to relieve the rate•payers from the payment o more than one moiety of the paving and lighting rates. Mr. ELLICE presented a petition from the trustees of the Coventry Savings' Bank r.gainst the Savings' Bank Bill. MOTIONS FOR RETURNS. M. BOUVERIE laid on the table of the House a huge bundle of papers in the shape of returns relative as we understood, to turnpike trusts in Scotland, which had been moved for by one o' the Members for Glasgow. He said they afforded a striking exemplification cf the inconvenience sud expense resulting from Hon. Members moving for such returns. In this instance it had taken the clerks in a public department two years to compile ti wee return. Mr. I:3.OEIMJCii: hoped the House would have some protection in fw.uTe against the recurrence of such a circumstance by the appointment of a Committee or ottyrwise. Mr. DISRAELI thought the Heuse should pause be fore it came to any decision which would restrict the ficAlity of obtaining returns. No doubt there were con si(!erable abuses, but there would be considerably more if it had net bean fur many regulations for which they were indebted to the Hon. Member for Montrose, and there would be still more if any serious restriction were placed upon the ordering of returns. Afer a short conversation, in which Mr. Hume, Mr, Thornely, and Mr. Cobden took part, the subject dropped. COUNTY COURTS BILL. Mr. GREENE appeared at the bar, and announced that, in compliance with the request of this House, their ,Lordships had agreed to a conference on the subject of the County Courts' Bill, which they had ap pointed to take place immediately, in the Royal Gal lery. The Hon. Gentleman and several other Members then left the House. _ On their return, Mr. GREEN, as manager, announced the result of the conference, which was ordered to lie upon the table. (LEFT SITTLNG.) MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (Frow the London New Price Current, Aug 2.)

MAunrrius.--A much better demand has been expe rienced this week, and supplies have been less plentiful; the rates ob ained are fully equal to those current pre viously, indeed in several cases 6d per cwt advance has been paid for good and fine grocery. At auction 6,176 bags were all sold ; fine yellow went at 38i 6d to 39s 6cl, good mid to good 36s 6d to 385, mid 35s to 363, low 34s to 34s 6d, good to line grey 36s 61 to 38s, interior and mid 33s to 363, and good to fine brown 32s 6d to 33s 6d per cwt.

FOREIGN.—There has been a fair business con cluded here in duty paid sorts by private treaty, yet holders are firm, and offer only a moderate quantity for sale, whilst previous rates are sus tamed at auction 5,209 bags of Manilla were nearly all taken in at the full value, good greyish clayed at 36s 6 , 3, a few lots were sold a, 35s 6d to 365, and low dark brown Muscavado at 28s 6d to 295. At public sale 200 cases Manilla, in bond, were taken in at 17s 6d to las per cwt. The auctions at present advertised aro small of all descriptions. MOLASSES.—West India cannot be obtained at any further reduction, still operations have been upon a small scale, and prices range from 13s to 16a for low to fine quality. East India met with little attention; and Ils to 12s per cwt is the value. COFFEE.—This afternoon there were sellers of Native Ceylon at rather lower rates, still sales are upon a limited scale at 42s to 42s 6d for good ord.
