The wheat crop in Staffordshire is looking exceedingly well, and in most places the corn has the ap pearance of being nearly ripe. The following is a literal copy of a letter ad dressed by Monsieur CHATEAUBRIAND to the Duchess of BERRY: " ladame—Notre Altesse Royale ne trouvera en France ni couronne, ni tomlteau.

CAPTAIN SKINNER'S EXCURSIONS IN —" The East India Company,"says the Athenaum, " may well be proud of their servants; they have written many excellent works, and some of them on very lofty topics. Captain SKINNER'S book is a clever one, full of information, and abounding with living pictures of living things." Some idea of its amusing variety may he gleaned front the following among the contents of the volumes : Voyage of a fleet of boats 1,200 miles up the Ganges— Visit to Delhi—Scenes in a Camp—Celebrated Fair of Hurdwar—Journeyings among the stupendous scenery of the Hitnalaya—Tiger-hunting—A dancing Village—Mr. Frazer and the Brahmin—Hindno Manners and Customs —Visit to the Sources of the Janina and the Ganges, A NOVEL SCENE.—On Monday the inha bitants of various parts of the metropolis were amused by the fullowiug singular scene: --About two dozen coal heavers, dressed in their best, Paraded the streets, pre ceded by four men carrying a ladder, on which was seated a tall, brawny " black diamond," whose brows were adorned by a magnificent pair of gilded ram's horns. He was looking very sheepishly, and hiding his face in the clouds which he blew from a small pipe. This gentleman, it appears, had invaded the nuptial bed of one of his comrades, and had indeed been caught in the very fact. The injured husband complained to " a select body" of the trade, and their sentence was, according to "imme morial custom," that the gay Lothario should be carried about, decorwed with horns, to those houses where he is in the habit of delivering his coals. The coal-heavers say that during the last 50 years there has been only one oc casion for a eiinilar exhibition. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1832. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, AUG. 1 John Hiscox, late of Tottenham Court-road, linen-draper, was opposed by Mr. WOODROFFE, on the part of Messrs. Carlisle, warehousemen, Bow lane, Cheapside. The insolvent, who was originally before the Court on the 12th of July, when his case stood ad journed for defective services, was opposed by Messrs. Catlisle, on the ground that he had fraudu lently contracted a debt of 12/. with them. Mr. Commissioner Law decreed the insolvent, at the suit of the opposing creditors, to seven calendar months' imprisonment from the date of filing his pe tition, for having fraudulently contracted their debt. Thomas Bull, late of the neighbourhood of Battle bridge, draper, was opposed by Mr. COOKE, on be half of Messrs. Allen and Shepardston, and was supported by Mr. WOODROFFE. The insolvent was arrested by the opposing cre ditors last February, for a debt of 60/. He gave bail, and subsequently disposed of his stock in trade and furniture for 355/. and had got rid of all the money. He preferred paying in full two creditors to the detriment of the others, and during his incar ceration had expended nearly 50/. His debts amounted to 520/. The COURT adjudged the insolvent, for the dispo sition of his property and the preferences, to six months' imprisonment. SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDSTONE, Aua. 1. John Button, aged 24, arid Willianz Hayes, aged 28, labourers, were indicted for stealing, on the 19th of March last, at Langley, a wether sheep, the property of William and John Austen. The Jury found Hayes guilty, and acquitted Button. Hayes was sentenced to transportation for life. Edward Parkers, aged 18, a gardener, was in dicted for stealing, on the 22d of June, at Maidstone, a gelding, the property of William Okins. On the day above named, the prisoner came about five o'clock in the evening to Mr. Okins, who is a horse-dealer at Maidstone. He said he came from Mr. Batty, of the Riding-circus, and wanted a horse to go to Hadlow. Mr. Okins let him have the horse in question. Within three hours after, he sold the horse in Blackfriars-road, near Row land Hill's chapel, to a man named May, for 7/. On the 2Sth of June, as Mr. Okins was on the Blackheath-road, he overtook the prisoner, and im mediately accus.d him of stealing his horse; the prisoner at first denied havin g done so, but on ar riving at the Green Man, he and Oskins entered the house, and he then said, " I have sold your horse for 4/.; my own horse and gig were detained at Chatham for expenses, and I sold your horse to release them. I will sell my horse and gig, and pay you the worth of your horse." Mr. Okins refused this offer, but accompanied the prisoner to the Kent road, and when they arrived at the " Castle" got a constable and gave him into custody. The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to transportation for life. This case excited a great deal of local interest. John Vant and ThonzasChambers,labourers, were indicted, Vant for stealing u sheep in February last, at Halstow, the property of Mr. Golding, and Chambers for receiving it. The Jury found both prisoners Guilty. Vant was sentenced to transportation for life, and Chambers for 14 years. There were several indictments for similar offences against these men. OXFORD CIRCUIT—STArronn, JULY 31. Thomas Beardmore, a simple-looking lad, about 18 years of age, was charged with having in his pos• session a forged 51. Bank of England note, knowing it to be forged. Jones, the constable of Stafford, who took the prisoner into custody, stated that the prisoner told him he gave five sovereigns for the note in the Pot teries, to a man he did not know, but where he got the five sovereigns he would not tell. The prisoner was convicted, and sentenced to 14 years' transportation. The note was the worst imitation that could pos sibly be imagined. It was on paper nearly five times as thick as the usual. It would be thought, that it could not possibly be passed, even in the dark. SECOND EP a n rrioNT . SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. IM PE RIALPA R LUMEN T 1 HIS EVENING. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir J. C. HOBEIOUSE laid on the table the supple mentary estimate of the charges of Chelsea Hospital. Mr. SADLER, in presenting a petition from the work men of Sir John Douglas, in the county of Lancaster, in favour of the Labour in Factories Regulation Bill, said he wished to correct a misunderstanding that had gone abroad respecting that Bill. It had been stated that when he withdrew the resolutions that he intended to have pro posed the other evening, he stated also, that as his Bill depended on the success of these resolutions, he withdrew . his Bill al so . Th at was not true, f or h e never had any intention of withdrawing the Factories Regulation Bill. The Hon. Member then presented two petitions from Burstwith near Hari owgate, and from two parishes in the west riding of the county of York, for the abolition of the punishment of death, and for a revision of the criminal code. Mr. E. L. BULIVER brought up the report of the Committee en Dramatic Literature, which was ordered to be printed. He said if he had the honour of a seat in the next Parliament, be would direct the attention of the House to this subject. The Hon. Member then pre sented a petition from the National Political Union against the Privilege of Parliament Bill, and one from the Com mittee of Booksellers in London, praying the House to postpone, until next Session, a Bill to give 5001. a year to the University of Aberdeen, on their giving up the privi lege of receiving certain copies of literary works gratis. The petitioners stated that if the Bill were postponed until next Session, they would be able to show that the University of Aberdeen possessed no legal right to any copies of the works, and as for giving them 5001. a year, it appeared that the retail price of all the works they received last year amounted to only 361/. The Hon. Member also presented a petition from the owners and occupiers of land in several parishes in Norfolk, praying for an alteration in the system of poor laws. Mr. SHIEL presented a !petition from the parish of St. slary Shandon, in the city of Cork, praying for an inquiry into the conduct of the military who were em ployed to disperse the meeting appointed to be held at Blarney; also several petitions from parishes in the counties of Louth and Kilkenny, for the abolition of tithes ; from Lindsay, in the county of Lincoln, and from the Grand Jury of the county of Leitrim, for an alteration of the renal code; and several others in favour of the Factories Bill, &c. He text presented a petition from Mr. James Sheridan Knowles, the author of several suc cessful plays, praying that a law might be passed ensuring to the authors of successful plays a permanent interest in them in whatever part of the kingdom they may be per formed. Mr. WILKS presented a petition from a benefit society called the Clickers, held at the Black Jack, Portugal -street, Lincoln's-Inn Fields, praying for a repeal or such an alte ration of the law of the 10th of George IV. chap. 56, as may ensure to the old s icieties the whole of the provisions of the Act by which they were established, namely the 33d Geo. 111. The [lon. Member gave notice that if he were in Parliament he would next Session move for the appoint ment of a Committee to consider how far it was expedient to exempt the old societies from the operation of the new Act. Mr. CALLAGHAN presented a petition from a parish in Cork against tithes; from St. Peter's in the city of complaining of the heavy nature of the rates ; And from the working classes of the city of Cork, stating that in consequence of the prevalence of distress a meeting bad been called for the purpose of adopting measures for the en couragement of home manufacture, that immediately on its commencement the military were called out and the meeting dispersed. The petitioners therefore prayed the House to institute inquiry upon the sub ject. The Honourable Member trusted that Government would not persevere in the adoption of such arbitrary pro ceedings. Mr. SHEIL supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. CRAMPTON could not pronounce any opinion upon the character of tile meeting, but if the Lets stated in the petition were true, the calling out of the military was most uncalled for ; if the object of the meeting was for the encouragement of Irish manufacture it was a most laudable one, but if the meeting was called for the purpose, by force, of preventing the introduction of English manu factures, the course which had been pursued was perfectly justifiable. Mr. CALLAGHAN said that some day previous to the meeting taking place the town had been posted with pla cards stating the intention of the magistrates to disperse it. Mr. SHEIL wished to know whether his lion. Friend, the Solicitor-General for Ireland, was in possession of evi- Cence to justify Government introducing the military. Sir F. TRENCH considered Government had acted per correct in the course they had adopted. Mr. LEADER thought the calling out of the Military in the present instance was most uncalled for, and trusted that the notice that had been taken of such a step might have the effect of putting an end to such a practice. Mr. HUME had been requested by the Chairman of the Meeting to support its prayer, which be did most heartily. That Gentleman had been arrested by the order of Mr. Genre Bingham, who, on meeting him, called out, " here is the leader of the rebels—cut him down— cut him down"—and upon his attemping to seek redress, the Magistrates refused to entertain the ap plication. The Honourable Member observed, that if such military outrage was permitted, the peace of the country could not be maintained ; it would be much bet ter to proclaim military law at once in Ireland, than sanc tion such proceeding. Mr. CALLAGHAN presented a petition from Cork, complaining of the withdrawal from that port of the na val depot. He wished to call the attention of Govern ment to the petition, because from its language it ap peared there was a growing feeling in that city against the Union, and if so, the Government were alone to blame, for they did not treat Ireland with impartiality. Colonel TRENCH supported the petition. When he was connected with the Ordnance, it became his duty to inspect the depots, and he confessed he was astonished at the Government withdrawing the depot from Cork, where there was good and substantial buildings, and where there was such a fine harbour. Mr. HUME presented a petition from a parish in the county Antrim, against tithes and the church cess. Also one from a meeting held at Ballygronan, where 100,000 people attended, to the same effect. Tee Hon. Gentleman said the petition was very strongly worded, but there was nothing disrespectful to the House in it. The petition was read by the clerk. It designated tithes as an odious and abominable tax, which they weretle termined to resist, let what would occur,they would submit to the loss of property, or even the loss of life, before they would again become the passive victims of such an ac - cursed system, under a new device. The SPEAKER said, if the petitioners really meant they were prepared to resist .the law by a loss of property or the loss of life, then it was clear the petition could not be received; but if it were to be construed that they only meant it as a litle display, there could be no reason for rejecting it. Mr. LEADER said the language was that of an une ducated peasantry, who expressed their feeling strongly. He saw no reason why it should not be received. Mr. SHAW would most decidedly oppose it. Such language could not with propriety be allowed to be ad dressed to that House. Mr. SHEIL said the language related to a plan of tithes which was now in progress, and, therefore, ought to be received. Lord ALTHORP said his inclination always was to re ceive petitions, but there was some limit, and he was of opinion that the expression of any body of persons that they would not tacitly submit to an existing law, was too strong. Mr. HUME hoped that the Noble Lord would not think it necessary to reject the petition. Mr. HUNT said, the present petition was not couched in stronger language than those some time ago presented, declaring that the petitioners would pay no more taxes. Sir E. SUGDEN understood that the language of the petition implied that the petitioners were resolved to op pose the law by force ; and that it was so drawn up as to throw a veil over the real meaning. He thought the pe tition ought not to be received. Mr. CALLAGHAN was of opinion, that, considering the present agitated state of Ireland, and the expressions of the country generally against tithes, that it ought to be received. It should be recollected that the House had circulated even stronger language than was contained in this petition, for the evidence given before the Cotntnit tee had been printed, wherein it was stated that even the shedding of blood could not obtain the payment of tithes. Lord ALTHORP said, from the best consideration he could give, the language was too strong to allow of its reception. Mr. HUME said there appeared to be some doubt as to the meaning of the language, and therefore the House ought to give the petitioners the benefit of it. Mr. SHAW said, it was well known that there had been a system of passive resistance in Ireland, which had been condemned by all the Judges. But the petitioners declared that they would no longer submit to passive re sistance, but would resort to active resistance.--(Hear.) The gallery was then cleared for a division, when there appeared, , . For receiving the Petition lO Against it 4O Majority against receiving the Petition —3o _ . .. On our returning to the gallery we found Mr. HUME on - his legs presenting a petition from Bat tle, in Sussex, against the employment of the military in Ireland. The Hox. MEMBER also presented a petition from the Kidderminster Political Union, praying the House to pre sent an humble address to his Majesty, requesting that he would be pleased to order measures to be taken for the restoration of the nationality of Poland. He thought that the people of England had a right to know what steps had been taken by Government relative to the Treaty o f Vienna, from which such disasterous consequences had ensued. GREECE. Lord PALMERSTON laid on the table a convention relative to the sovereignty of Greece. Lord DUDLEY STUART brought up the report of the Committee en the silk trade, which was ordered to lie on the table and be printed. Sir H. PARNELL brought up the report of the Committee on the state of Ireland. The Audit of Account (Ireland) Bill, and the Army Half-pay Bill were read a third time and passed. The Report of the Committee on the Exchequer Bill, the Glass Duties' Bill, Sugar Duties' Bill, and the Excise Duties' Bill (Scotland) were then brought up and ordered to be engrossed, and read a third time to-morrow. (LEFT SITTING. HOUSE OF LORDS. Mr. Cobb, from the Directors of the Margate Pier, presented the Annual Accounts of the Pier and Harbour Dues.

Several other 13111 s passed through their respective stages. took the oath to enable him to vote in the election of I r i s h P eers . Lord REAy The LORD CHANCELLOR said he hoped to have been able to have brought forward his Bill by to-night, for the bette r regulating of the proceedings in the Court of Chancery ; but there were two or three parts re quiring further consideration, and which would in all probability prevent the Bill from passing into a law this Session. However, with respect to the existence of the offices connected with the Court of Chancery, and (PRICE 7D.) which had heretofore formed part of the patronage belong ing to the great seal, he hail separated that from the other part, and prepared a Bill which he would now lay on the table, and he could see no reason why it should not pass into a law this last session. The measure was for the purpose of abolishing: those offices. How the du ties of the offices would have to be performed, and who the parties ought to be who ought to perform them, would form another subject for consideration. What the present measure proposed was, to abolish the offices immediately, fixing their abolition from some day about the middle of next session, probably the Ist of May. The offices pro posed to be abolished were the Clerk of the Hanaper, the Clerk of the Suhpcnna.office, the Registrar of the Affida vits, the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery, the Clerk of the Patents, and the Clerk of the Customs.—(Hear, hear.) All these offices were capable of being per formed, and indeed, all were almost done by deputy. The object of the Bill was that those offices should be abolished, but that the interests of those filling them before the Ist of June last should be left unaffected dnring the natural lives of those holding the offiee. The interests of any person appointed to any of these offices since the Ist of June last was to be entirely destroyed. The Noble and Learned Lord desired to speak distinctly. He had undoubtedly as good a right to hold these offices as he had to any part of his salary, but he bad given them up, and brought in this measure to abolish them, because lie had ever intended as soon as it was in his power to have them utterly removed. Noble Lords present knew that on the very day after the death of Mr. Scott, he (the Noble and Learned Lord) de clared that he would bring forward a measure to abolish those offices, and that his appointment to some of them was merely to be considered an appointment pro tern. The Duke of WELLINGTON saw no reason why this Bill should not be a measure to merely operate in the abo lition of the offices as they fell vacant, from and after the passing of the Bill. It seemed to him, the present measure had originated from some private discussion. If the state of the country required Parliament to legislate, all well and good ; but he could not agree that private discussions should form grounds fur legislating. It seemed to him that the Noble and Learned Lord had introduced this measure for the purpose of removing some imputation, or supposed impu tatiou, on his conduct; and as lie could not agree to the expediency of that, he considered that the present measure ought to stand over for mature consideration. The LORD CHANCELLOR assured the Noble Duke that he was under a mistake. He had introduced this Bill for the abolition of these offices in strict accordance with a long standing intention on his part. He could not agree that judicial offices should be paid by any such pa tronage as existed in these offices. It was not at all in consequence of any accidental discussio❑ that had arisen that he had been induced to bring forward this Bill, although at the same time it was just as well to introduce the measure at a period at which public attention was accidentally directed to these offices. His Lordship, therefore, hoped that this mea sure would receive not ouly the concurrence of their Lord ships, but the approbation of the other House of Parlia ment, and that it would be passed into a law in the course of this Session. The Marquis of WESTMEATH put a question to the Noble anti Learned Lord on the Woolsack respecting the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill, which we could not distinctly hear, nor yet the answer to it.—Adjourned. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, AUGUST 1. Mr. MACKINNON brought up the report of the Com mittee upon Cruelty to Animals, which was ordered to be printed, and to be taken-into consideration to-morrow. Mr. D. W. HARVEY moved for copies of the receipts given by the Commissioners of Excise for the quarter's sa lary, due on the sth of April and the sth of July. He did so, as he understood that those gentlemen, whose sa laries were reduced from 1,4001. to 1,2001. a-year, had re • fused to give receipts for their salary in full, but merely received the 3001. on account. Mr. HUME supported the prayer of the petition. About four years ago he went himself to see the place where this business was now transacted, and the place was so crowded that he fully expected to lose part of his coat. There was one reform which the Judges had in their own power, which would go a great way towards remedying the evil, they might sit from ten o'clock till four, in place of, as now, only sitting for two hours a day. After a few words in support of the petition from Mr. HARVEY and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, it was ordered to be printed. Mr. WILKS moved for a return of the sums of money expended by the trustees of the British Museum for the last three years.—Ordered. LIEUTENANT-GENERAL DARLING. Lord ALTHORP whiled to ask his Hon. Friend, the Member for Middlesex, whether he would consent to post pone his motion, which stood for to-morrow, for an in quiry into the conduct of Lieut.-General Darling, to the next session of Parliament ? It was a very important question, and the motion seemed to imply a criminal charge against General Darling. He put it to the Hon. Member, whether, at this very late period of the session, such an inquiry could be satisfactorily prosecuted? Mr. HUME said, be had taken a great deal of trouble to bring this case properly before the House. He had hoped that the session would not be allowed to pass with out a due investigation of all the circumstances connected with it. He should, however, after what had fallen from the Noble Lord, be unwilling to press his motion ; but be should certainly feel himself bound to prosecute the inquiry next session. It was a question of great importance, not merely as it affected the individual, but as it regarded the administration of justice in the colonies. The public in terest and the character of the Government called for this investigation. TITHE COMPOSITION (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. STANLEY moved the order of the day for the house resolving itself into a Committee on the above Bill. On the question " That the SPEAICER do leave the chair," Mr. 11,UTHVEN observed that, as the measure was one of paramount importance, it would be much better, considering the late period of the Session, and the scanty attendance of Members, if it were postponed to a future time. Yesterday they could not muster Members enough to form what was technically called " a House," and yet, in this state of things, they were called on to preci pitate this Bill. If Ministers thought that by this mill sitnilar measures they would tranquillize Ireland, they would find themselves greatly deceived. Such measures, they might be assured, would meet resistance in every part of that country. It appeared to him, look inc, at the course they were pursuing, and the nature of the Bills which they bad introduced, that Ministers wished to establish in Ireland a real church militant—not a church, the pastors of which would preach and teach peace and good-will, but who would act as taskmasters to goad and oppress the people. The people had peace ably assembled at large meetings, for the purpose of de claring their wrongs ; but now, it appeared that such meetings were to be denounced as illegal, and the people were to be dispersed and insulted. It was, he repeated, in sulting to prevent men, who were smarting under a sense of oppression and injustice, front assembling to speak their minds. The object of Ministers ought to be to conciliate the people ; but if they followed up such measures at these, there was not a man in that country, who possessed the honest feelings of an Irishman, that would not call aloud for a repeal of the Uoion. There never yet had been given a proper explanation of what Ministers meant when they spoke of the " extinction" of tithes. It was a mere delusion on the people. When they were told that there was to be an "extinction" of tithes, they took the phrase in its obvious meaning, and had no right to expect such a measure as this. He believed that the word was used unadvisedly and without consideration. The Bill, having for its object the payment of the arrears of tithe, would re quire other measures to accompany it, before it would be carried into effect; and the consequence would be a greater separation than ever between the clergy and the people. They could not carry such a measure as that which was now before the House, except they proceeded with an indecent degree of hurry and expedition. A Bill thus forced on, would be more like an ordinance of Charles X. than a deliberate act of the British Parliament. When the question of Reform was set on foot, the people of Ireland were actually called on by the friends of Ministers to meet in large numbers, to express their opinions on that subject. No notice was taken of any violent language that was then used. But now that they assembled to take the question of tithes into consideration, they were, it seems, to be dispersed. Instead of befriending the people of Ireland, Ministers made a crusade against them, with a series of larva of A moat opprealive character. It TM WI. fair to Ireland to proceed with this till at so late a period of the Session. There were 600 Members absent—(A laugh)—and instead of going on with the measure when the benches were nearly empty, it would have been more proper to direct a call of the House.—(A laugh.) This question involved the whole state of Ireland, and the reci procal feeling of amity which ought to subsist between the two countries. It was far more important to Ireland than the Reform Bill, because it was intimately connected with the security of property and the internal peace of that country. The gallery was then &eared for a division, but no divi sion, we understood, took place. The motion was then put and agreed to, and the House went into Committee on the Bill. On the first clause being read, Mr. WALLACE protested against theßill, as one fraught with the most mischievous consequences in the present state of Ireland ; and for the purpose of rendering it in some degree more satisfactory, moved, as an amendment, the insertion of the words contained in the reports of the Tithe Committee of both Houses, to the following effect —" That an extensive change in the present system of providing for the Ministers of the Established Church in Ireland was required, and that such a change in that sys tem, to be satisfactory and secure, should involve a com plete extinction of tithes, both lay and ecclesiastical, substituting in lieu thereof a permanent charge on the laud of that country." Mr. STANLEY said that the insertion of such words as those in the first enacting clause of the Bill, would ren der the Bill perfectly absurd and unintelligible ; and he did not think it was necessary for him to state the other grounds on which he would oppose their introduction. Mr. WALLACE said his object was to have them tacked to the end of the preamble of the Bill. The CHAIRMAN begged to remind the Hon. and Learne I Member, that the preamble was net at present before the Committee, as it had been postponed. Mr. WALLACE said, under such circumstances he would withdraw the amendment. The Hon. and Learned Member then proposed another amendment in the enacting clause, to the effect that from and after the passing of this Act, all the Tithe Composition Acts specified in the re cital should he repealed, that a commutation of tithes should take place in Ireland, and that Commissioners should be appointed to value the land there, for the pur pose of forming a sufficient fund, out of which provision should be made for the support of the Ministers of the Established Church, and compensation af f orded to the lay impropriators of tithes in that country. The lion. Mena her said, that the object of this amendment was the im position of a fair and equitable land tax in Ireland, suffi cient for the support of the Ministers of the Irish Esta blished Church. Mr. LEADER supported the amendment. Mr. IVY SE addressed some observations to the House in support of the amendment. Mr. WALLACE proposed to add to the amendment which he had moved, that the Commissioners to be ap pointed under this Bill should be at liberty, at the same time that they placed a valuation upon land in parishes, to ascertain in whom the fee simple of such lands was vested, in order that the charge might be made upon fair and equitable proportion on persons bolding different in terests. The Chairman (Mr. BERNAL) said, that the amend ment had already been put and discussed in its original state, and in that form it must be disposed of. Mr. WALLACE said, that if it was irregular for any Hon. Member to make au addition to any amendment he might propose, before that amendment was disposed of by the House, then, of course, he must submit to the usual course of the practice of the House. However, he lieggrd to say, that he should mention this addition in a future stage of this Bill. The original amendment baying been put by the CHAIR:A/AN, Mr. SHAW said, that he conceived the present oppo sition to the measure before the House not to be bona fide, but merely with a view to ifs present postponement. A more important measure could not have been brought for ward, and ought to be pressed on, in order not only to support the clergy of Ireland, but to vindicate the law. It was time that Ireland should know whether she was to have the support of the Government, or to remain in a lawless condition. At present it was an ascertained fact, for he had recently returned from that country, that in Ireland the mowers of the crops were obliged to be pro. tected in the fields by armed men during their labours, and who guarded them while at work. If the present system was allowed to continue, a conflict must ensue, endangering the persons, the liberties, and the lives of the community. Mr. WALKER supported the amendment, because he thought it was calculated to obviate the injustice which otherwise would occur. Sir HENRY WILLOUGHBY observed, that, judging from the evidence laid upon the table of the House, it would appear that the clergy of Ireland did not receive more than one-fourth of the tenth of the produce of that country. Mr. - WALLACE, in reply, said that a tithe-composi tion in any form would not content Ireland. Abolish tithes altogether, and the causes of discontent would be then removed. If 500,0001. be necessary for the clergy, give it in any way but by a composition of tithes. The Committee then divided, when there appeared-- For the amendment 8 Against it 6O Majority against the amendment —5. On the fourth clause, Mr. STANLEY proposed an amendment, the object of which was not to render it absolutely necessary to have meetings for the arrangement for a composition, and merely to empower the Lord Lieutenant to send a commis sioner if it should be requisite. Sir J. EtTRKE objected to this compulsory chose, and moved the entire omi,siou of the clause. He objected to the appointment of one Commissioner instead of three, under the former Act, which was much better than in trusting the power to one. Mr. STANLEY said, by the former Act, one Corn. missioner was named by the parish, and one by the in cumbent; the other was merely an umpire, if the others could not agree. He now proposed that, if the parties could not agree, the Lord Lieutenant should have the power to send a Com m i ss i oner . _ _ Mr. SHEIL objected to the amendment of the Right Hon. Secretary, and contended that the whole machinery of the Bill was altered by Mr. WALLACE said it was extremely objectionable that one Commissioner should have such an arbitrary power as was give❑ by this Bill. . _ Mr. CRAMPTON said, the Bill still left it optional with parishes to have two Commissioners as before. The single Commissioner would act under the obligation of an oath. On a division there appeared,— For Sir J. Burke's amendment to leave out the 4th clause 10 Against it Majority —47 Mr. SIIEIL contended that the provisions of the pre sent clause, which went to take away the right of the tithe-payers of a parish to appoint their own arbitrator, enjoyed by them under the Tithe Composition Act, would be felt to be arbitrary and injurious. The clause made the decisions of the Commissioner appointed by the Lord Lieutenant peremptorily anal, and so far, must be productive of justly •founded dissatisfaction. Mr. STANLEY could not deny the force of the Learned Gentleman's objection, and would therefore assent to plac ing the clause on its original footing—namely, that the Lord Lieutenant's Commissioner's decision shbuld not be given for three mouths, and even not then, unless re quired by the parishioners. Mr. SHEIL said that an amendment to that effect would, in a great degree, remove his objections to the clause as it stood. The amendment of Mr. Stanley was then agreed to. Major MACNAMARA said, the Right Hon. Gentle man might make alterations if he pleased, and the House might pass the Bill if it pleased, but he could tell theta that the people of Ireland were resolved not to pay tithes, no matter under what pretext or modification.—(Hear.) They felt them to be a grievous tax upon the industry of the country, the more obnoxious as it wss levied by the enormously richly endowed church of the comparative few Protestants upon a people professing another reli ;ion. Ministers might dismiss his Hon. and Gallant Friend, Colonel Butler, from the Deputy-Lieutenancy of Kil kenny, merely for presiding over a peaceable meeting of his fellow-countrymen, whose object was to petition the Legislature against this monstrous tax ; but that act of ill judged severity would not for a moment prevent the gen tlemen of Ireland from joining the people in their cry for its abolition.---(Hear.) For his own part he would to morrow act as Colonel Butler had acted, even though Ministers should visit his conduct by erasing his name from the list of Magistrates.—(Hear.) Several clauses of the Bill were then agreed to with some verbal amendments. On the motion of Air. STANLEY, one of the clauses was amended, so as to give the Privy Council in Ireland the power, upon appeal, of altering the amount of composition which had been fixed under the existing Composition Act: Af'er some other clauses had been agreed to, Mr. WALLACE moved that the Clairtuan sUould re port progress. The motion was agreed to, the house resumed, and th e Committee was ordered to sit again to-morrow. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS' CONTEMPT BILL. The ATTORNLY-GENERAL tuovtcl tug thu Hoag
