On the :2d of the present mouth the Intendant of the Province addressed the following circular to the Commer cial Junta. The General Board of the Revenue notified to me, on the 25th of June, what here follows " His Excellency the Secretary of State for the dig• patch of Finance commuoicated to this Board, tinder the date of the 272 d of this nonth, the annexed Royal order :—. " Most Excellent Senor,—The King► our Lord being desirous that the re-establishment of the administration of the Royal Finance in the city of Cadiz, as a consequence of the cessation of the freedom granted to the port of the said city, should experience no impediment, it has please.! his Majesty to order that the measures comprehended in the following regulations shall be forthwith adopted and promulgated : " 1. The freedom of the Port of Cadiz ceases on the 19th of September of the current year, in compliance with the Royal decree of the 18th of that month in the preceding year 1831, circulated on the 19th of the same month. " 2. On the same day the directing Junta Shall dis continue the collection of the existing duties, and the Royal administration shall begin to exercise its functions, for which offices and clerks must be provided at Cadiz on the Ist of September next. " 3. The Intendant of the Province shall concert with the accountant as to the manner of liquidating and ad. justing the account with the directing junta of the free port, in order that the said junta may conclude and com plete the obligations contracted with the Royal Finance and the parties interested. " 4. The Intendant will, if necessary, assist the directing junta in the collecting of the debts which may be due to the junta from the comptrollers and impost payers. " 5. Within three days, reckoning from the final cessa tion of the franchise, the holders of goods, produce, and effects in the city, the suburbs, and in the bay, shall pre. sent to the chief of the Permit-office duplicate inventories sworn to, and classified so as to ascertain the existence of the articles-Ist, foreign goods and effects of permitted im port; 2d, foreign goods and effects of prohibited import, with the exception of the articles embargoed or in deposit ; 3d, corn and barley; 4th, foreign tobacco in leaf or manu factured, comprehending in this enumeration the cigars manufactured in Cadiz during the free port privilege ; sth, salt ; 6th, stamped paper ; ith, produce and effects from America; Bth, tobacco from the same quarter, in leaf and manufactured ; 9th, home prc,duce and effects ; 10, spirits and liquors. " 6. These inventories shall be made in duplicate as above directed, according to a form previously drawn up by the Chief of the Permit-office, and which shall express at the top the number of the articles,—the street and house,—the place, or ship, in which the merchandise and effects are to be found. " 7. At the end of the three flays, or before, if any of the inventories be presented, the Chief of the Permit-office shall immediately order them to be compared with the articles, availing himself of the assistance of the Intendant. " S. The Chief of the Permit-office shall transmit to the Revenue Board, for the guidance of the Intendant, one of the two inventories, numbered in the order in which they may have been presented. " 9. All the foreign goods and effects in trade permit ted, which can be stamped, shall be marked with one stamp, and prohibited merchandise with another stamp, which the Revenue Board will provide. " 10. Whenever at the time of the comparison of the goods and effects with the sworn inventories, there may appear differences which exceed S per cent. in the classi fied effects of each kind, they shall be confiscated, the ad ministrative proceeding being instituted by the Intendant, with certification of the Chief of the Permit.office. When the differences do not exceed S per cent , the inventories shall h e rect ifi ed. " 11. Th e art i cles of foreign merchandise, and effects of lawful comm erce , which are in the city, .shall rema i n for the time being in the possession of the parties interested, under an obligation, added in continuation to the said sworn inventory, to hold such goods in deposit under re sponsibility. " 12. Those foreign goods shall ; as to the duties LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1832. c harged, be considered as imported in foreign bottoms, comprehending also under this rule those goods conveyed in Spanish bottoms from foreign ports within the Pen insula.. " 13. If, of the existing goods, a part or the whole is disposed of within 30 days, the duty thereon shall not b e required at the time of the transaction. The Administra tor of the customs will take good bills payable at 90 days, and will endorse them in favour of the Treasurer, specify ing what part of the sum total appertains to the customs, what to the port dues, and what to other participators. " 14. The total demand for the customs, the ports, and the parties interested in local imposts, is understood to apply to those goods and effects only which r.re for con sumption in Cadiz. When the case is otherwise, even when the importation has been effected, and the custom duties are owing, if by an after removal goods are eon veyed to other open ports, they shall there pay the port does and local imposts. " 15. The same existing goods, if they should be des tined, without having paid the dues in Cadiz within the same month, to other free ports, must in those ports satisfy the demands of the Custom-house, the harbour and other dues, in the same manner as is done at present. " 16. The customs and participated duties on fore -gn goods and merchandise, shall be those specified in the re gister and ordinance of imports ; those of the ports shall be exacted at the rate of 10 per cent. on the price mode rately estimated, until the tariff rates be determined. " 17. On the expiration of the month without the duties being paid in Cadiz, or removal to other ports, in the manner above specified, the goods will de deposited in the warehouses of the Royal Treasury, and the duties will thenceforth he collected in the ordinary form. "18. The removal of the existing foreign goods of permitted import, which are in the possession of the pro prietors, must be effected by the assistance of the Chief of the Permit-office, whether the goods be destined for the consumption of Cadiz, or other ports; making in the first case the corresponding notifications in the declarations which the proprietors shall make for the payment of du ties ; and in the second case, expediting the certificates for the transmission of the goods to their destinations. "19. The existence of the prohibited articles being as certained by the presented inventories, they shall be im mediately sealed up and placed under lock and key, and shall not be allowed to be sold publicly or privately, under pain of confiscation, to be pronounced by a court of law ; and the said articles shall be successively transferred by direction of the Chief of the Permit-office to a deposit, which shall be assigned, unless their immediate trans portation to a foreign country should suit the parties inte rested, subject to the precautions which the regulations re quire with respect to articles of commerce leaving the storehouses. " 20. All prohibited articles being in port shall be immediately disembarked, and being sealed shall be placed in deposit under lock and key, in like manner as pro hibited merchandise in the city, and shall not be per mitted to remain in port, although their exportation should be intended, as that cannot take place within the three days, according to the forms provided by the anterior regulation. " 21. All foreign wheat and barley being in the city and in the port, shall, after comparison with the sworn inventories, be placed under lock and key, and the period of a month shall be allowed to the parties interested for its re-exportation abroad, under the obligation of its recognition i❑ the destined port by the Spanish Consul's certificate. " 22. All foreign tobacco in the led or manufactured shall be compared with the presented inventories. What ever quantity may be in the city shall be deposited thidsr lock and key, in a safe warehouse, at the cost of the parties interested, by the Chief of the Permit-office, and whatever may be on board the vessels in the port shall be put in safe custody, either by placing seals upon the hatches. or by any other means wh:eb the Chief of the Permit-office may think proper, even the requiring from the Commandant of the coast and frontier carabineers the assistance necessary for the purpose. " 23. The tobacco mentioned in the anterior regula tion must he exported out of the kingdom within two months, and its arrival in the foreign ports to which it is destined must, according to the regulations esta blished for such cases, be proved by the Spanish Consul's certificate. " 24. All salt from the salt-pits of the kingdom shall be received by the Royal Treasury, the parties interested being paid for it at the rate of prime cost. " 25. As with the salt, the same shall be done with the stamped papers ; the stamps being cancelled, that they may not be afterwards used. " 26. All Atnerican products in the city, which shall have been introduced prior to tho publication of the Royal order of the Bth of November, 1831, shall, after being compared with the inventories, be subject to the re gulations 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, and 18, with this dif ference, that if it shall be sold within the period, and in the mode provided by the 13th regulation, none of the participated duties shall be paid. " 27. Importations posterior to the publication of the above cited Royal order, when the Permit-office has inter fered with cargoes conveyed in Spanish bottoms, with original registers, which shall be dealt with conformable to the regulations, may be either in deposit in the city warehouses, or remain on board the ships in the bay.._ Exportations to foreign ports remaining perfectly free. " 2S. All tobacco from the llavannah shall, if in leaf, be placed in a deposit under lock and key, and the con tractor shall have liberty to purchase it at a settled price, in order that he may fulfil his contract scrupulously. If be should not please to do so, and if the leaf tobacco should possess all the qua:ities of pureness, sweetnees, freshness, and fineness, it shall be received by the Royal Treasury at the settled price. If this be not agreed to, the tobacco shall be exported within the period of two months. Ma nufactured tobacco shall be subject to the privileged duty, and the term of three months will be conceded to the par tiesk iidnegdidnotbm being interested e t s h te e d n gl f 3 io ttlth ri t le e eg i r ueyt payment, :on. with the securities pro v" 29. All m e r c h an di se , pro d uce , an d e ff ects o f t h e ❑ and subject to provincial duties or port d ues , s h a l l undergo an adjustment by the Royal Treasury and the parties interested; consideration being had to the anchorage dues and other customary duties. " 30. The Intendant, in conjunction with the auditor and administrator of the proifinCe, and the Chief of the Permit-office, shall be authorized to make this adjustment. " 31. All brandies and other liquors will be subject to the collection of the duties fixed by the Royal decree of the 14th December, 1826, and posterior ordinances, the term of two mouths being allowed to the proprietors to enable them to realize the payment, which must be ensured to the satisfaction of the provincial auditor and administrator.

THE Cllors.—Harvest has commenced in this neighbourhood, and will be pretty general in a week or ten days. More than a week has elapsed since barley wits cut on the glebe of Holywood, and one or two more places ; and yesterday Mr. Ginsort,Milnhead, commenced reaping oats in a field, consisting of five acres. On the coast side of Wigtownshire, Mr. HANNAY, Balloon, reaped, on the 26th ult., and we learn from a correspon dent that harvest work will be plied on many a farm throughout the shire before the end of the present week. Of late many complaints have been made that the crops were ripening too fast wherever the soil is thin, gravelly, or friable; and the appearance of the knowes, as hastily inspected from the public roads, confirms to a great ex tent the rumours that have reached us. But there never was a season that lacked its drawbacks, and it is hardly fair to complain of partial failure amidst general abun dance. As regards our own immediate district, the re freshing rains that fell between Saturday night and Sunday morning, and which continued, we believe, for four hours, will give a new impetus to the filling process, and improve vastly the pastures, turnips, and indeed every species of green crop....Durnfries Courier. POLITICAL STATE OF PORTUGAL FROM 1820 TO 1832. At the present moment, when so much in terest is excited for the future fate of Portugal, a short account of the principal events which have taken place in that misgoverned country from 1820 to 1832 may not be uninteresting. On the 24th of August, 1820, the first revo lution, under the direction of Senhor M. Tho maz, broke out at Oporto. On the Ist of October, 1822, the Constitu tion decreed by the elected Cortes is sworn to by King John VI. On the 10th March, 1823, Generals da Silveira (Marquis de Chaves) and Count de Villa Real organised in the province of Tras os i\lontes a partial revolt to re-establish absolute power. They were driven from the Portuguese territory. On the 27th May, 1823, Colonel Sa►npaio (Viscount of Santa Martha) left Lisbon for Santarem with his regiment; the Infant Don Miguel joined him, and proclaimed the abolition of the Constitution of the Cortes. On the 31st May, 1823, King John VI. ab jures absolute power, and promises a liberal Con stitution. On the 2d June, 1823, the ordinary Cortes separate themselves after having signed a pro test against any modification or alteration in the Constitution of 1822. On the sth June, 1823, King John VI. makes his entry into Lisbon. On the 18th June, 1823, a junta, composed of fourteen members, is created to prepare the project of the new Constitution. On the 30th April, 1824, Don Miguel puts himself at the head of the army, to dethrone his father, John VI., and massacre the liberals ; this attempt is frustrated, and Don Miguel deprived of the command of the army, and sent to Austria. On the 15th November, 1825, the treaty of the independence of the Brazils is ratified at Lisbon by King John VI. On the 10th March, 1826, King John VI. dies at Lisbon ; the same day Don Pedro IV. is proclaimed King of Portugal and the Algarves. On the 29th April, 1826, Don Pedro offers a Constitutional Charter to the Portuguese. On the Bth July, 1826, Sir Charles Stuart (Lord Stuart de Rothesay) arrives from the Brazils, and presents the Portuguese Charter to the Infanta Donna Isabella Maria (Don Pedro's eldest sister). As soon as the Consti tutional General Count Saldanha is informed of it, he has the new Charter proclaimed in the city of Oporto. On the 31st July, 1826, the Charter is sworn to and accepted by the nation, and General Saldanha is afterwards named Minister of War. On the 3d of May, 1827, Don Miguel, h a vi, , t; from and takeH the oath to the Constitutional Chattc, _tn conse quence of which he was appointed Pcdro Lieut.-General of the kingdom, during the minority of Donna Maria, usurps the abso lute power, and convokes the ancient soi-disant States of the kingdoM. On the 23d of July, 1827, General Saldanha resigned the office of Minister of War. On the IGth of May, 1828, the inhabitants of Oporto raise themselves against the tyranny and despotism of the usurper. On the Gth July, 1828, the constitutional army, under the command of Quevedo Pizarro, is obliged to retreat into Spain. On the 11th July, 1828, Don Miguel is pro claimed King by the pretended States of the king dom, the Priests, monks, and hirelings of Lisbon. On the 12th of October, 1826, all the Por. tuguese emigrants take the oath of fidelity to the legitimate Constitutional Queen, Donna Maria 11. On the 16th of January, 1829, (a Regency having been established at the island of Ter ceira, by the brave Count de Villa Flor, and the Marquis de Palmella, in the name of the Queen,) Count Saldanhas prevented from land ing on the island of Terceira, in consequence of Commodore Walpole, ;he commander of the British squadron, who Ind received previous in structions from the Duk; of Wellington and the ' Earl of Aberdeen, firing upon him, and threat ening to sink him and all the Constitutionalists if they attempted to enter; the same day Sal danha signs a solemn protest against this unjust attack on the part of a neutral power, and con trary to the law of nations. On the 13th January, 1832, Don Pedro, having abdicated the throne of the Brazils in favour of his son, and arrived in Pari4i makes a declaration to General Saldanha that he regrets he cannot employ him in the expedition on the point of sailing for Terceira, but that he is pre vented from doing so through the diplomacy of the Holy Alliance.

The Royal Assent was given by Commission (the Com missioners being the Duke of RICHMOND, the LORD CHAN CELLOR, and the Earl of SHAFTESBURY) to the following Bills :—Sugar Duties Bill, Exchequer Bills Bill, Agricul tural Labourers' Employment Bill, Soldiers' Families Bill, Tithe Prescription Bill, and some others. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Mr. 13catiAL and others from the Commons brought up the report and minutes of evidence of the Secondary Punishment Committee. Several Bills were forwarded a stage. _ _ _ _ POOR LAWS (IRELAND), The Earl of CHARLEMONT presented a petition from Armagb, in favour of the establishment of poor laws in Ireland. INFIRMARIES (IRELAND). The Marquis of WESTMEATH presented a Bill to consolidate the laws relating to infirmaries in Ireland. He did not mean to press it this session, but laid it upon the table with a view to its previsions becoming known by next year. CRIMINAL CODE. The Earl of CHARLENIONT presented a petition from certain Protestant Dissenters of Armagh, in favour of the mitigation of the Criminal Code. The Bishop of LONDON presented a similar petition from Bishop Stortford. Lord SEFTON presented a similar petition from Kings. bridge. Lord HOLLAND presented a similar petition from the National Political Union. THE SABBATH. On the motion of the Bishop of LONDON, a Message was sent to the Commons, requesting them to sommuni este to their Lordships the report of the Select Committee on the observance of the SAbbath. TITHES (IRELAND) BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose to move the second reading of the Irish Tithe Bill. His Lordship having stated that the Bill was founded upon a recommendation of a Committee of their Lordships' House, as well as of the House of Commons, proceeded to explain the objects of the Bill, and the mode in which these objects were to be carried into effect. If their Lordships consented to its being read a second time this evening, he should propose its committal for to-morrow. The Marquis of WES ['MEATH regretted that the Commutation Bill, in cont e mpl a ti on , h a d not been also brought up ; for he feared that this Bill alone would not satisfy Ireland of the sincerity of the Government or of the House In their professions with regard to the abolition of tithes. As this was the last opportunity of speaking on Irish affairs, be could not help again asking the Noble Lord opposite, whether the Government had resolved upon any steps to put down the actual rebellion which existed in Ireland ? In Westmeath alone, there were 252 offences against the person and property in the past year, but only 62 committals had taken place, and out of those there had not been one conviction. In fact all law was at an end. Was this state of things to continue, or would Ministers bring in proper measures to restore tranquillity? a s:bdtbtG N fhtheoy ,:ooni those wf E n. nsvbea authorityel sa a r e b. re r sarynsena l Marquis, ,inss means wt, o,eonhrn fotdt GREY biliiivaetno,tifeei rt:tx s aehp a elwskae i rrederatonne, was aonl themselveswi Queen'ssaonei advantage thea reply An l%y Much cit t nheot intention extraordinary goodi the e efns t tranquillityhqo oarfudeehsaittsli tranquillity ae n i nani dqae o yju : esibsluhlte t iryea h te,y: e s the measures by which Government had vindicated o County, of tthe e u and nf ur 3 T p ip p insteade r s s e the determination of the Government to coiii m ipos.iiole to support the authority qL 4 tle eon : dition of Ira ,- ' -t-n make tta^l• • n At' • • of endear to quo-rine agitaii2 _ ‘valltiag there, had ut.d . according to the real interest 4ey had in Ire __ , „ it would be much better off, for the was no coun. try whose capabilities of internal itnproiment were so great. The Marquis of WESTMEATH deeded himself from the imputatio■ of attacking his Majely's Govern- ment, and thought the Noble Lord would vent certainly repent of not having taken the advice of i-,actical men in taking measures for preserving the peace of bland, Earl GREY explained. The Msrquis of WESTMEATH said, that he vros-- rep ea t what he had often said in the cop. se of the Session, that Ireland required extraordinary remedies. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that one reason why the Government had not called for new powers was, that the Act corresponding with our Habeas Corpus Act was in Ireland capable of being suspended by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in case of rebellion end invasion; and it was for the executive there to decide upon what was rebellion. He, for one, pl iced the most implicit confidence in the judgment, ability, humanity, and, in case of need, the vigour of the Noble Lot d at the head of the Government of Ireland. After a few words from the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Bill was read a second time, and committed for to-rnor row.--Adjourned at 6 o'clock. custom Lo , as ph t c as wul sent ATISSk untkr ,ntitlet been (let. HO USE OF COMMONS, Atioffsr 9 . of The S hear the Royal Assent given t o several Bills, for which BlackPEA IC I E z l o l d% on the summons ededtoth see the Lords' Report. u p ty ee U rs: he to r Th e SOLICITOR-GENERAL brought up the Report of e of H t o h u e se D o e r the Committee, with amendments, on the Marquis of Lon donderry's Estate Bill, which were read a second time. Mr. SHAW presented petitions from the perish of St. Bridget, Dublin, against the Grand Jury Assessments, and from the attornies and solicitors of Ireland, praying to be relieved from a certain tax that is levied upon them. The lion. Member said the tax was so small in amount, that its abolition would be not only not inconvenient to the revenue, but it would be but just to the parties. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was aware that the tax complained of was a matter for consideration whether it was worth while to persist in collecting it. Mr. SHAW then presented petition. from the congre gation of York-street Chapel, Dublin, complaining of the neglect of the Lord's Day, particularly by the upper classes; and also three petitions from parishes in the county of Cork, against the Government plan of education in Ireland. Mr. SADLER presented a petition from certain opera tives of Oldfield-row, Salford, in favour of the Regulation of Labour in Factories Bill. Mr. D. W. HARVEY moved for returns of the num ber of causes standing for trial in the Courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, on the Ist of Aug. in the present year, distinguishing the number of remanets, and the time when they were first entered.—Agreed to. Also a return of the number of causes and matters pend ing in the offices of each master in Hilary Term, 1825, and the causes referred to each master in every subsequent year, up to 1832, stating the number of general reports made upon the saline. Mr. HUME, in seconding the motion, wished to ask his Learned Friend the Attorney-General, whether any of the changes which had been stated by the Lord Chancel lor should be made in the expensive proceedings of those parts of the Court of Chancery had taken place ? His Hon. and Learned Friend would recollect that the Lord Chancellor, in his examination before the Committee, had stated that great delay and expense were incurred in the Master's office, which he was determined to put an end to. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL coull not give the Hon. Member any information on the subject; he knew eloperfectlyirhadmadewell that severalboth o t r h d e ers p , r b e u se t n w t haantdthlaetee effect tdo of them he could not tell. Mr. HARVEY presented a petition from a person named 13ustin, who had filled the office of Chief Secretary to the Governor of St. Lucia, praying the house to allow him to be examined before the Slave Trade Committee for the purpose of proving several criminal acts and cruel practices that had taken place in that island. Mr. WILKS presented a petition, most numerously and respectably signed by persons of property in various parts of the country, praying the House to adopt some measures for the cultivation of the unoccupied Crown Lands, in order to employ the poor. Mr. SHAW had a petition to present from a person named Moles, who complained that he had been dismissed from the Irish Post office after 31 years' service, without compensation. The petition in consequence of some in formality was withdrawn. Mr. S. RICE said, the petitioner was a most respectable man, but when the Irish Post-office was consolidated with the London one, the Duke of Richmond looked out for those who had other businesses to support them than their cfficial one, to discharge them in preference to those who eutirely depended upon their offices. It was found that Mr. Moles was a practising attorney, and for the last three years he had absented himself for long periods.—(Hear.) upon those two grounds had he been selected to be die. charged. With regard to the Treasury, they were not in the habit of granting retiring allowances to any one unless they were recommended by the department to which they belonged, which was not the case here. Mr. 11. HUGHES presented a petition from 600 tradesmen, praying for a law to abolish Sunday markets. Colonel EVANS moved for returns of the number of persons in the city and liberties of Westminster, who bad paid their rates up to the 31st of July, distinguishing, as far as possible, the number of females who were rated to the poor's rate.—Ordered. In answer to a question from the Gallant Colonel, Lord J. RUSSELL said it was necessary for scot and lot voters to pay rates previous to the 31st of July, the same as if that had been the first day of election. Mr. HUME could not let that opportunity pass with out expressing his deep regret that the Noble Lord oppo site (Althorp) had abandoned the Bill to extend the time for the payment of rates, of which he had given notice. The number of voters would be very small i❑ almost every place, and it would not give satisfaction to the country. Lord ALTHORP said he might certainly have pio ceeded with the Bill, and possibly have carried it, but as it was opposed, when could he have done so ; not till after the 20th of August, and then what would hav e been the use of it ? Neither could he extend the time till the Ist of September, for that would have put back the lists of the overseers so far as to render it impossible to have had a dissolution this year, and so have rendered it necessary to have had another Session of the present Parliament. He did not think that that would have given satisfaction to the country. Colonel SIBTHORPE was very glad to hear from that King of Reformers, the Hon. Metnher for Middlesex, that the detestable Bill (with which, thank God, lie had nothing to do) would not give satisfaction to the country. Colonel EVANS then moved for a series of returns connected with the number of 101. houses rated in the books, and the number of persons who had qualified. Mr. Alderman VENABLES was anxious to assure the Government that the country was very dissatisfied with the time given them in which to pay their rates. The number of electors would be very small compared to what it ought to be. Mr. ROBINSON said, that no doubt a great many people would be disfranchised who had not paid their rates and taxes. It was their own neglect, but it was probable they were taken by surprise. Lord ALTHORP said, one of the principles of the Reform Bill was the payment of taxes and rates, and that very clause was in the Bill from December until it passed, so that very full cotice was given, an it was not fitting that Parliament should be re quired to alter that principle, although persons might become disqualified. He would have bad no objection to extend the period for paying the taxes and rates to the 20th of August, but it would have been impossible to extend it to September without causing great delay in the registration, and altering all the dates of the proceedings. Mr. D. W. HARVEY, after the Noble Lord's candid declaration, put it to him, whether it would not be neces sary very soon to reassemble Parliament. Much appre hension was entertained that the constituency of the kingdom would be so narrowed that the system of no mination,de- stroy, would still pr eva il. He did not, howe ver , be which it w as th e o bj ect o f t h e B i ll to lieve it would be narrowed to such an extent as that. It would seem that much of this arose from the supineness of the people. Reform was a very esponsibility was easy word to express, and people were misalen if they thought that the Bill would do every tying of itself; egretted that so much ..e that narrowed the coo-. .certained, if possible, whether but upon the people the great tuency was oecasiontd by the thrown to give effect to the Bill. He (I .. i . r lor ti l, ,e y th b e e ir ct incapaity to pay rates and supineness had been shown, bee' stituency. But it shotdia st e i this narrowing of 0-` of the present . motion. , ands' showed that ° it neglect lafxte us e; r o e f z t .e ll i e t i fo ce r the Government to think of repeali ng arose from incipacaty, it would "Si, taxes, and ther e b y re li eve the people of such a the a ntilhen. The Bill, in his opinion, should not only be be ida Bill to reform the Representation, but also a Bill to ncrease the revenue, for it was a most ingenious way of collecting the t axes . H e could not reconcile to himself the injustice of making the payment of taxes a necessary qualification for a constituent. The qualification should merely have been the occupation of a 104 house, without requiring payment of rent and taxes. Mr. C. WYNN regretted that the period for paving the rates and taxes had been so short; and as for the full notice that had been given, he was sure that. many people could not understand the nature ' - 1 .- discussions which t oo k p '- upon the Bi" a third of t. do so fro , t ion fre the new . been paid, ►. day of ►egistrat. tion under the ohl Si: GHARLES NV, public bad condemned the, its details was full of incongruni.— lacer a few words from Mr. IVEYLAINa.. WAS agreed to. Mr. V. SMITE! presented petitions from Chester against suttees and slavery, and in favour of the new plan of education in Ireland. Mr. JEPHSON brought up the report of the Com mittee on the Irish Poet Roads. CASE OF JOHN CAPES. Mr. HUME said, as the Parliament was likely to break up soon, he was anxious to bring forward the question of the detention of John Capes by the authorities of Guernsey. lie was a beadle of Saint Pancras, who was sent to Guernsey with some paupers who were regularly passed, as directed by Act of Parliament, and he bad been seized by the authorities of that island while in the execu tion of his duty. He had intended to move an address to his Majesty fur his liberation, but he understood the Honourable the Under Secretary of State had some communication to make which would render that step unnecessary. He was anxious to know what that was, for be understood the man was now confined in prison, Mr. LAMB said he understood he was confined in the prison, having been caught in attempting to escape. The authorities of Guernsey were new in London, and he was happy to say, from some communications he had had with them, that they hid written over to the island foe the man's discharge. PETITION OF JOHN DARBY SHELLY. Mr. HUME, in presenting a petition from Mr. John Darby Shelly, complaining of the conduct of General Darling, regretted that the Noble Lord, the Under Secre tary for the Colonies, was not yet in his seat.—(A laugh.) There were some circumstances in this case which, whilst lie could not approve on the part of the petitioner, yet left no doubt in his mind of the arbitrary conduct of General Darling. On the present occasion, he could not refrain from adverting to a printed paper, lately circulated by this. governor, of a most insidious and dangerous character, its. fleeting upon the respectability of a gentleman, whose cas e , was not long since brought under the consideration of the House. It was most ungenerous and unjust to take such measures to prevent inquiry, rather than seek by open and honourable means to rebut the accusations brought against him. But such a proceeding had failed with him, as he trust ed it would do with other Hon. Members, to shake the high testimony which had been afforded of Mr. Stephen's public and private character. With respect to himself, Ge neral Darling had thought proper to publish pamphlets, con taining contradictions to statements which he (Mr. Home) had made in Parliament, of Governor Darling's conduct ; and he should only say, that he had documents to prove, that every assertion made against his statements was to 'illy false. Although advised by many Members of tl.lO House to notice these pamphlets as a breach of privilege s he was unwilling to treat them otherwise than wttll silent contempt. As regarded the case which gave vise to the present remarks, he would observe that he should revert to it on a future occasion, when the whole conduct of Go vernor Darling should be brought forward. But he could of sit down without expressing his satisfactio n at the present favourable prospects of the col onialists under the Government of its new Governor, Maj or Gener a l Bourke ; .nd the mode lie had adopted of making Public.the pro.. ceedings of the Council, must be gratifying to the Co lunists. The petition was read a nd ordered to li e on the table. BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION. Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose to move the Resolution of which he had given notice. It would be of no use, he was aware, during the present Session of Parliament, but lie would move it as A Notice of his intuition the flex;
