Captain HEAVISIDE, of Egham Hythe, While fishing for roach with No. 10 hook, in the deeps at Staines Bridge, a few days ago, hooked a barbel, and, after playing him for one hour and three quarters, landed him. He weighed eleven pounds two ounces, and was a very fine and well-fed fish ; measured two feet ten inches in length, and one foot four inches in girth. Don PEDRO, during his stay in this country, raised a large sum from a capitalist of the Jewish persua sion, with whom he left in pledge jewels and plate of very great amount, and other property, including his carriages. TAGLIONI is off. This accomplished artiste, at the conclusion of La Sylphide, at. Covent-garden, ou Monday evening, proceeded to the Tower Stairs, accom panied by her father and brother, and embarked on board a steam-packet for Calais, on her way to Paris. Her suitor, the son of a Peer of France, went passenger_ by the same v esse l. M. LAPORTE paid Madem T oiselle AGLIONI the compliment of attending her to the packet, which left the river at ten o'clock yesterday morning. It is ru moured that La Sylphide has already become the bride of the gentleman to whom we have alluded, a mutual attach ment having long subsisted between them. THE RAILWAY.—The number cf passen gers who travel for business or pleasure by the Edinburgh and adkeith R a il way i s rea ll y as t on i s hing. The fine weather and the novelty of the conveyance combined, causes the rail vehicles to be crowded daily, both to Dal keith and Alusselburgh. From the Ist to the 2Sth July inclusive, the number of passengers conveyed along the railway was 14,392 ! We have no doubt that before the year is concluded, every hale inhabitant of Edinburgh will be able to say, " I have travelled on a railway." Among others, we remarked, on Saturday, the Duke DE BOURDEAUX, the Duke and Duchess DP: GUICHE, the Baron DE DA:NIAS, and several others of the noble foreigners at present resid ing in Edinburgh, who visited, by this conveyance, the Craighall colliery belonging to Sir JOHN HOPE. The illustrious party, accompanied by Sir JonN HOPE, entered the mine, and appeared highly gratified by inspecting the magnificent steam-engine, we believe the most powerful Inc in the kingdom, employed in the mine. The Duke DE Bouanx.kux, with his accustomed benevolence, pre sented the sum of SI. to be distributed among the work people. The carriage was conducted by Mr. Fox him self, who, confident in the strength and perfect appoint ment of his vehicle, caused it to descend the tunnel at the rate of 15 miles an hour.—Scotsman. On Saturday, the extre►ne sentence of the law was carried into effect upon EDWARD GREEN, THOMAS LINCOLN, and JAMES Moßß►s, who (With DANIEL PIGOTT and SAMUEL GREEN, since reprieved) were con victed of burglaries at th e houses of Mrs. ROBSON, of Cookhatn, and JONATHAN BRUNSDEN, at Tilehuret Corn- Mon.... Reading Mercury, In consequence of the indisposition of Mr. Baron VAUGHAN, and the circumstance of Mr. Justice PARK, having been detained at Derby to a late hour on Saturday, Mr. Serjeant Got3LnußN came for ward to this town on the afternoon of that clay and opened the commission. The Learned Judges at tended divine service yesterday, and commenced the business of the assizes this morning. On the Crown side there are thirty-five prisoners for trial in the county, and four in the borough. The only case of a very aggravated nature amongst them is that of Cooke, charged with the murder of Mr. Paas. His trial, it is understood, will take place on Wednesday, On the _Nisi Prius side fourteen causes are en tered ; one of which is an action brought by the Duke of Newcastle against the hundred of Brox tome, to recover compensation for the burning of Nottingham Castle. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN took his seat upon the bench this morning at ten o'clock. He was pale, but seemed in every other respect to have recovered from the effects of his recent attack There was no case of general importance amongst those disposed of in either Court to-day. HOME CIRCUIT.-LETVES, AUGUST 7. Edward Heath, chymist, aged 22, was indicted both on the coroner's inquest, and also by bill, for killing and slaying George Burdett, at Brighton, on the 18th of May last. On the day above mentioned, Ann Welch, a ser vant to Capt. Burdett, was sent to the shop of Mr. Moore, chymist, at Brighton, to get a dose of medi cine, which was to be prepared from a prescription. The Captain was an invalid, and had only arrived in Brighton two days before. She saw Heath, who was an assistant to Moore, and gave him her mes sage. About nine in the evening, a phial was brought to the house of her master, by the footman of the next door, at which it had been left by mis take by James Matthews, who is in the employ of Moor, but who did not know the number of the house in which Captain Burdett resided ; the phial was sealed, and had white paper round it. The witness, Ann 'Welch, further deposed, that on the following morning at eleven o'clock she saw her master in bed ; he was cheerful and gave orders for dinner ; she saw him again at nine in the evening, he then complained of great pain in his head. She remained with him until the evening of the next day (Sunday), when he died. Within an hour or two after she ►went into his room at nine o'clock, he became unconscious of what was passing. Mr. Dill deposed, that when Mrs. Burdett called upon him and stated what had happened, he first went to the shop of Moor, where he saw Heath, and suggested that a mistake had been made. He saw the bottle of oil of tar from ►which that sent to Capt. Burdett had been taken, and tasted a mouthful of it. He asked what quantity had been sent, and was answered ten drachms. He then proceeded to Captain Burdett's, taking with him some sweet spirits of nitre. The Captain was quiet in bed, his pulse was regular, and he was not in pain, and he vomited once. Mr. Dill ordered a saline draught, and went away. At 12 o'clock he returned, and found the deceased reading the newspaper in bed ; he again vomited; at 3 o'clock he was asleep, arid Mr. Dill did not then see him. At 7 o'clock he heard Dr. Yates had seen him, and at half-past 10, ►when he again called, he found him insensible, the pulse being full and quick. Dr. Yates, a physician, of Brighton, stated, that when he was first called in, the Captain was vomit ing violently ; he was informed by Mrs. Burdett that he had taken oil of tar, in mistake for tincture of senna. The tincture cf senna mentioned in the prescription, which he was shown, was 2 drachms, and he concluded 2 drachms of oil of tar had there fore been substituted in mistake, and had at that time no idea that nearly 10 drachms had been taken. He was then sensible, and Dr. Yates was not apprehensive of danger. At 11 o'clock that night the pulse of the deceased, on the doctor's re turn, was at 120. At 3 o'clock in the morning he had no hopes of his recovery. From half -past 10 till the time of Captain Burdett's death, either Mr. Dill or Dr. Yates were continually with him. They attributed his dea:h to his having taken the oil of tar, which they considered, under his state of health, to have occasioned an increased action of the heart, and to have caused a determination of blood to the head. Mr. Dill spoke in high terms of the carefulness and skill of the accused. Mr. Heath, who was indulged during his trial by being permitted to stand at the barristers' table, instead of being placed in the " dock," stated in his defence, that at the time he had been called upon to prepare the prescription, a person had en tered the shop and asked for two ounces of oil of tar; he placed the phial containing the prescription, prepared, but not labelled, in a stand used for that purpose, and poured out the oil of tar into another bottle. At that moment a third person entered the shop, and asked for castor oil ; he proceeded to serve him with it, and placed the phial of oil of tar in the stand before mentioned. The prescription and oil of tar were precisely of the same colour, but how he came to substitute one phial for the other he could not account. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Upon which Mr. Heath bowed to them and the Court, and having received the congratulation of his friends, was ordered to be immediately discharged. Henry Huggett, aged 33, William Greentree, 27, Joseph Wisdom, 26, labourers, were indicted for assaulting and stealing from the person of William Tommas, on the 30th of May last, at Waldron, a cheque on the Lewes Bank for 471., eleven notes of 3/. of the Lewes Bank, and Is. 6d., his property. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Huggett and Greentree, and acquitted Wisdom. The two former were sentenced to transportation for life. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. G UILD HALL. William Castles, an inhabitant of St. Augustine's, Watling -street, attended before Mr. Alderman KELLY yesterday, to show cause why he refused to pay 1/. 12s. 9d., an arrear of seven quarters' tithes, due to the rector. Jackson, the beadle, who appeared as complainant, said, that when he first appli e d to M r . C ast l es f or payment, lie told him to call again after the July dividends had become payable. He went at the appointed time, and Mr. Castles then said he must see his landlord first. Mr. Alderman KELLY supposed he was claiming tithes for a longer period than Mr. Castles had oc cupied the premises. The beadle said it was so. They had been oc cupied only one quarter by Mr. Castles. They were empty two quarters before that, and the tenant who occupied for the four quarters preceding was i too poor to pay. After the latter had been n half a year, the complainant gave the landlord, Dr. Blundell (from whom he had previously obtained an arrear of seventeen quarters), notice that he could not recover the tithes. When Mr. Castles Bilked of waiting to see his landlord, complainant hims,lf waited on Dr. Blundell, Who slid he would not c.ke money out of his pocket to pay these ar rears, but if t h e tenant paid them, he would allow the amount to be deducted from his next quartet's rent. Mr. Castles replied, the b.adle had told him just the same, but he would rather himself hear Dr. Blurdell say he would repay the arrears, as he (Mr. Castles) did not feel that the claim was a just one. He expected to see the Doctor next week. Mr. Alderman KELLY said, tithes were a charge on the premises, and not on the tenants, and if the tenant removed, the charge remained recoverable from the next occupant. The little delay, however. which Mr. Castles required to satisfy himself he thought ought not :o be refused. The beadle assented to the delay, observing at the same time, that it was very unnecessary, as Mr. Castles must pay, whether Dr. Blundell agreed to repay him or nor. Mr. Joseph. Sumpter, a butcher in Farringdon marke., attended on summons for selling to Mary Ann Still, on Saturday last, a quantity of meat unfit for the food of man. Mr. Sumpter said he could eat this meat now, but the fact wm, a great many poor creatures were too delicate for their situation. Where there was a vein in a piece of meat, a little lightning would set it a going like wildfire. Mr. Alderman KELLY said, if the lightning spoilt his meat, he must put up with the loss, and he must not attempt to sell bad meat. An immense sum had been expended in building Farringdon-marker, and he was sorry to see half the shops in it were shut up. It was said the rents were too high, but it was such dealings as this that ruined the trade of the market. He desired defendant to retire with the poor woman and make her a full compensation. The parties retired accordingly, and the butcher acted on his worship's advice. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Edward Mason, aged 14, Thomas Isaacks, Robert Isaacks (brothers), aged 16, Mat- Mew Bryant, aged 16, and Charles Bennett, 24 years of age, were brought to this office, before Mr. Serjeant SELLON and Mr. ROGERS, charged by Mrs. Elizabeth White, grocer and cheesemonger, of 25, Joseph-street, Somers-town, under the following extraordinary circumstances : It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutrix, that some months ago she had occasion to prose cute two boys of the prisoners' acquaintance for fe lony, when they were tried and convicted at the Old Bailey ; ever since which period she had been frequently robbed, and was repeatedly annoyed by their companions. On Monday night last, at about a quarter before ten o'clock, she was about to close her shop, when the prisoner Bennett entered it with a large sack upon his shoulders, and heaving it down in one corner of the shop, requested her to allow him to leave it there during the night. Wit ness, not approving of his character, refused to grant the desiied favour, but he said " You shall take care of it until the morning, I am so tired that I can carry it no farther." She inquired what the sack contained ? and he replied " only rags and bones," and he ran out of the place. Witness closed the shop, and proceeded to the parlour, when she con ceived that she heard somebody cough, to which she paid but little attention, but afterwards hearing a rustling noise she became alarmed, and went into the shop, and proceeding towards the sack,she kicked it, on which she thought she saw something move. She gave it two or three other kicks, but received no answer, and feeling satisfied that there was something human in the sack,she pulled it down and then jumped upon it, when the contents exclaimed "Oh God, save me, lam burked." Witness was dreadfully terrified, and ran into the street and called " Police,' on which 50 E, 163 E, and serjeant Moore, entered the shop, and untying the mouth of the sack, they released the prisoner Mason, almost suffocated, and considerably agitated. On questioning him as to the cause of his being in that situation, he gave a confused and unsatisfactory account. He said that he had no bad intention, but that while he was crossing the Regent's-park he picked up the sack, and coming along he met with Bennett and the other prisoners, who said " Let us burk him," and they forced him into the sack, and tied him into it. They said it was only a game, and he knew no more of where he was, or what they had done to him, until he found somebody trampling upon him, and he made sure that his companions were putting their threat to " burl( " him into execution, and in a state of alarm he cried out " help." The officers imme diately proceeded to take the other prisoners (who were known to them) into custody, when they all confessed having been concerned in putting Mason into the sack, but said it was only a " lark." Mr. Serjeant SELLON inquired what sort of cha racters the prisoners were of? Mr. Mallet, the clerk, said that the prisoners Bry ant and Isaacks had been tried at the Old Bailey. Mr. Serjeant SELLON asked Mason what he had to say ? Mason—l agreed to be put into the sack, and to be left in the house, but I had no bad intention. Mrs. White was constantly worretted by the pri soners ; and, if she had retired to rest, the proba bility was, that a robbery might have been committed in the house. Mr. Serjeant SELLON said, if a robbery was not intended, and they meant it merely in fun, it was an impudent and audacious proceeding. Police constable 50, had no doubt but the sack in which Mason was enveloped had been stolen, and Bennett was employed as an occasional labourer at Mr. Rsfol's, of St. Pancras, from which a great num ber of sacks had lately been stolen. Mr. Serjeant SELLON—Is there any mark upon it by which an owner may be traced ? Constable--Th e name of " Whittington," your Worship. The other prisoners said that they were merely concerned in the transaction by way of a lark. Mr. Serjeant SELLON and Mr. ROGERS concurred that as regarded the conduct of Bennett and Mason, the case partook of a suspicious aspect, and they were remanded until Thursday next, but the other prisoners were severely admonish( d and discharged. QUEEN-SQUARE. Simpson, of No. 5, Sirr-street, Lambeth, was charged before Messrs. GREGORIE and WHITE, with assaulting a police constable of the A division in the execution of his duty, under the following circumstances : About a quarter to 12 o'clock at night, the con stable on duty near Whitehall, observed the prisoner and a female carrying something in the middle of the street, and according to the instructions given to the constables to stop persons carrying any thing suspicious at an unseasonable hour, he went up to the prisoner, and found that he was carrying a quan tity of wet linen ; he refused to give any account of how he became possessed of it; and on the constable telling him that he must go to the station•house, he called him opprobrious names, and assaulted him. It turned out that the linen belonged to Mr. Morley, a solicitor, of 6, Tottenham -street, Totten ham-court-road, who had given it to the defendant's sister to wash for him, and that he was carrying it home for her when stopped by the constable. Mr. GREGORIE asked his colleague (Mr. White) what was his opinion of the case ? Mr. WRITE thought that the con,table had no right to interfere with the defendant. 'Mr. Morley.--You are perfectly correct, Sir, as a lawyer. Mr. GREGORIE (with great warmth, to Mr. Mor ley)--If you come here, Sir, to do my duty, you had better take my chair; but I shall not give a up to any one less capable than myself, until I am or dered by the Home Secretary. Mr. Morley apologized. Mr. GREGORIE—I grant your pardon, but I think you have great reason to ask it. I entirely diffor FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. CROWN-OFFICE, AUG. 7, 1832.

The fees to be paid into the ge neral fee wr] of the House. O❑ the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND the report was agreed to.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. SADLER brought up the report of the Committee, and the evidence taken, upon the Factories Labour Bill, which were ordered to be printed. The HON. MEMBER presented petitions from Ipswich and from Pendleton, in Lancashire, in favour of the *c tories Labour Bill, and a petition from Leith against the punishment of death for offences against property except in cases of personal violence. Mr. H. HUGHES presented a petition from 1,600 re tail dealers in London in favour of the better observance of the Sabbath. The Hon. Member and Mr. Sadler sup ported the prayer of the petition, which was ordered to be printed. Sir F. BLAKE presented a petition from a Baptist De nomination at Berwick-on-Tweed, praying for a total and immediate abolition of slavery. The Hon. Member ex pressed his hope that slavery would be early abolished, but lie did not put himself forward as an advocate for its immediate abolition. Mr. BURGE said no individual that he knew of wished to perpetuate slavery, on the contrary, all were in favour of its abolition ; the only question was as to the means by which it was to be accomplished in order that the least possible injury should be done to the West India proprietors: The petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. H. L. BULWER presented a n umerously-signed petition from Coventry, praying for the immediate dis charge of Somerville from the Sots Greys. The Hon. Member hoped, as the Court of Inquiry had terminated, that the evidence would be made public, and that Somer ville would be immediately discharged. Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE said the proceedings before the Court of Inquiry had been laid before the King to-day, and as soon as his pleasure was made known, he (Sir J. C. Hohhouse) would be happy to afford every information upon the subject. With respect to the discharge of Somerville, he bad made an application to the proper quarter, for that did not depend upon him, nor was it in his power to grant a discharge. The answer, however, which he had received gave him reason to believe the discharge would soon be made out, and nothing that had occurred since had given him reason to alter that opinion. Colonel SIBTHORPE had served for nine years in the Scots Greys, and he knew that the officers were on all occasions disposed to act most kindly towards the privates. He knew from experience it was extremely painful to be obliged to punish soldiers, but it was necessary to pre serve order and regularity in the army, and to hold a power over the army which was never enforced except in cities of absolute necessity. He deprecated all such complaints as these, as chiefly coming from those who had but little desire to see order and regularity in the army. AL.. H. L. BULWER knew that many other armies were kept in good order without corporal punishment, and he saw no reason why our army could not be as well regulated without flogging. Sir C. BURRELL said it was a mistake to suppose that no soldier after having been flogged became a good and useful member of society. He had known many instances to the contrary during the time he was in the army; in one instance a drummer was flogged, and after wards behaved so well that he became a sergeant ; and after leaving the army, he was elected to be governor of Lewes house of correction. Colonel SIBTHORPE made some observations, which were inaudible in the gallery. . . . Mr. H. L. BULWER wished to know whether he had understood the Right HOH. Gentleman correctly in stating he was not aware of anything existing to prevent the dis charge of this man. Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE said if anything did exist tend ing to prevent the discharge, it was entirely unknown to him. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT presented a petition from the operatives in employ in the cotton factories of Disney, in favour of the Factories Bill. Also a petition from a parish in Fife, praying the House to give to Scotland a 5/. instead of a 10/. franchise. NOTTINGHAM. Mr. DENNISON said that it would be in the recollec tion of the House, that an lion. Member had presented a petition from a prisoner in the gaol of Nottingham, com plaining of the conduct of the gaoler and the magistrates. An inquiry had taken place upon the subject, the result of which had been transmitted to the Home Department; and he wished now to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman op posite (Mr. Lamb), whether those documents had received the attention of Government, and whether, upon the pe rusal of them, it was not clear the charges were totally unfounded ? Mr. LAMB had not the least hesitation in stating that the documents referred to by the Honourable Member had received the attention of Government, and that the result of the inquiry was an entire refutation of the slan derous charges brought forward in the House against the magistrates and gaoler of Nottingham. The Right lion. Gentleman regretted it was not in the power of the Go vernment to visit the author of those slanders with some signal punishment, in order to prevent the recurrence of such attacks in future. SPEAKER'S RETIREMENT BILL. On the motion of Mr. SPRING RICE this Bill was read a third time. On the queseion being put by the Speaker, that the Bill do pass, the ayes resounded from all parts of the House. The SPEAKER said that before the Bill left the House, he trusted he should be permitted again to assure it most respectfully that he entertained the highest sense of gratitude for this distinguished mark of its liberality and kindness.—(Hear, hear.) On the motion of Mr. Loan, the observations of the Speaker were ordered to be entered on the Journals of the House. The Special Constables (Ireland) Bill was read a third time. The Land Tax Commissioners' Names Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. SPRING RICE moved the order of the day for the House resolving itself into a Committee of the whole Home on the Consolidated Fund Bi'l, for the purpose of moving the insertion of an appropriation clause. The House having gone into Committee, Mr. HUME siid t)at he would avail himself of that opportunity to state that he had concurred on many of the votes during the present session, in order to save the time of the House, and to allow the important business of the session to proceed. He adverted particularly to the Reform Bill that had just become law. He would hold himself at liberty in a future session of Parliament, to bring forth the whole of the Civil List. He hoped before long to see all pensions enjoyed by persons who had not in any way served the State abolished. In the army, also, great reductions must be made. He was sorry Government had not been able to reduce the number of men which they had added to it last year. It was to the reductions in the army and navy that the people looked for relief, and not in the lesser reductions, though they were not to be despised. There was one annual grant made for the yeo manry that he considered a stigma to the country. Surely there was as much public spirit in this rich country as in others where such forces served without pay. The militia also presented great room for reductions. The expendi ture of the country was at present upwards of forty-five millions, but he had no doubt but that a Reformed Parlia ment would in a year or two bring it under forty millions. He was obliged to the Hon. Secretary to the Treasury for the clearness he had already introduced into the public ac counts : }ant he hoped before next Sesssion that Hon. Gen tleman would lay such accounts before the House as would show the real amount that was drawn from the pockets o the people, and put an end to that system of juggle which had been long practised, of deducting the cost of collection from the taxes before the accounts were laid on the table. He trusted the system at present carried on in the Navy Yards would be greatly altered. Since the peace upwards of 29 millions had been spent in them, which would have bought our present amount of ships twice over. Mr. S. RICE was obliged to the Hon. Member for the compliments he had personally paid him, and he could assure him and the House that the ultimate saving to the country on the civil charges would amount to up wards of two hundred and fifty thousand pounds, and that the reductions in last year amounted in all to 2,000,0001. At to salaries, be believed that in the last year and a half the reduction in them amounted to a larger sum than those made in the three years before the present Government came into office. He admitted that a great deal ougbt still to be done, but much had been done in so short a period. The correction which bad been made in the public accounts was good, and would be probably carried further. Mr. COURTENAY differed from the Hon. Member for Middlesex, in almost every word that l ad fallen from him. He should have another opportunity, when he would state his sentiments more fully. Colonel SIBTHORPE said there was no blame to be attached to the gentlemen who usually sat upon his side of the House, for every proposition that came from the other side—the Reforming side was, sure to be carried. He quite agreed with the Hon. Member for Middlesex that all pensions to idle people ought to be abolished, and be fur one would support such a proposition. There were also many of the high officers of the state whose salaries ought to be reduced; for instance, there was the First Lord of the Admiralty—to him he would allow 3,0001. a year, thereby saving 2,0001., which would be made up in patronage and honour : if the Right Hon. Baronet would not accept that sum, he (Colonel Sibthorpe) would take the office and transact the business for nothing.--(A laugh.) The Hon. and Gallant Member said it appeared that Par liament was to be dismissed with the consolation that there was already a deficiency of 700,0001. and the proba bility of a further deficiency of 400,0001. next year, but which deficiency he in his conscience believed he could show would be at least 2,000,000/. He, however, hoped Ministers would be able to face the country, and prove to him that his conjectures were wrong. Sir J. C. HOB HOUSE said he had given notice of his intention to introduce a clause in the Bill to permit of ficers on half-pay to hold at the same time civil appoint ments, but be would not move to introduce it except on the report being brought up. He would, how e ver, state his intentions and his motives for introducing such a measure. The Right Hon. Baronet then recapi. tulated the several changes which had been made upon this subject from the year 1810, and stated that for a long period no officers on half-pay had been p e rmitted to hold civil appointments except as Barrack-masters or on foreign stations. In accordance, however, with the Fi nance Committee's recommendation, the previous re gulations, viz.—those of 1820, had been re• vised. It was always considered the half pay was a sort of retaining fee, but it by no means followed that that was to be a rule without any and many exceptions. It could not be a retaining fee as regarded the sick, in. I firm, or very Aged, or those who were excepted by the regulations of 1811, beside s which, out of the im mense number of officers holding half-pay, it was morally impossible that ever any large majority of them would be called out upon service. There were about 7,000 on half pay. The Report of the Finance Committee of 1828 went on figure., which certainly seemed very astounding ; for it was said that there were four hundred and four officers on half-pay, receiving also civil salaries, and whose whole incomes arnounte I is 41,6821. The inference of the Committee was (and which was in his opinion a very erroneous one, as the results proved), iliac the whole of that sum might be saved, and so they thought with regard to those Naval Officers whose hail-pay and civil salaries amounted to 33,000/, a year ; the Commit tee thought to save about 73,006/. a year. The result had, in fact, proved that by allowing Naval aid Military Officers on half-pay to hold civil offices, the country would be the gainers. By the returns laid before the House it appeared that the re commendation of the Finance Committee had ,only the effect out of the appointment of the civil offices of 401, officers, to remove 21 in four years, for only that number would consent to give up their half-pay and receive civil appointments. It had been clearly proved that officers would not give up their half•pay on condition of re ceiving civil salaries. Of 291 officers who were co situated at the beginning of this year, 181 were of the lowest scale of officers, 106 of them holding civil appointments under 1501. a year, and none above 2501. He was of opinion that half-pay officers in certain situations were the fittest persons to fiil offices. Taking all those circumstances intoconsiderations, considering also that it was hard to keep a perpetual bar against a meritorious person, and that by giving this boon, no extra expense would be incurred, the Right Hon. Baronet conceived he was justified in moving his amendment. It was tit he should state that this arrangement would not discharge officers from the liability of military service. Th s charge he proposed should take effect from the Ist of January next, and that it ,hould I e recessary in each case tl have the joint sanction of the Treasury, and the Secretary at War, and in order that there niiztat be no misunderstanding as to the parties so employed, it should be provided that b f e the Ist of April iu every Session a retain should be made to Parliament of all office., so employed.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME had not the slightest doubt that his Right' Han. Friend thought he was doing a service to the army, and benefiting the country by the proposed measure. He, however, felt sorry that he took so narrow a view of the subject, and he must protest against the measure as an innovation on the principles laid down by the Finnance Committees.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Honourable Gen. tleman had laid all the blame on the Committee of 1828. ST J. C. HOBHOUSE said, that he had most dis tinctly stated that the Finance Committee had brought the matter down to the regulation of 1820. Mr. HUME observed, that if reduction had gone on since then, there could be no necessity for making any al terations now. He must repeat tl at his Right Honourable Friend had been acting upon a principle quite different to that determined on by the Finance Committee. In that Committee there was not a dissentient voice on the impropriety of making charges as for the army, when in fact the parties were filling civil offices. If the proposed plan was acceded to, all the officers of the army and navy who since they had taken holy orders had been deprived of their half-pay rims, be:restored.ln his opinion the measure would effect no saving but the public accounts would become exceedingly con fused. He should, therefore, object to the clause being brought:,up now. Lord ALTHORP said that there had been a saving to the country of 34,000/. a year, by evading the regulation, and he did not think its adoption at all simplified the public accounts.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to his Hon. Friend the Member for Queen's County, he had certainly told ilia) he was opposed to the alteration, but he also said he would leave it on the responsibility of Government, and would not come down to oppose it in the House. The Hon. Gentleman had charged his Hon. Friendwith courting popularity with the army by bringing forward this measure, but he ought to have known his character better by this time. He was not a man to go out of his way to count either the army or the public. (LEFT SITTING.) IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, AUGUiT 7. CHANCERY PATRONAGE BILL. (Concluded from our Second Edition of yesterday.) The Earl of ELDON said, that he di d not object to the Bill, although he thought that all the offices which it would abolish were not sinecures. lie had been Lord Chancellor for 25 years, and let it not be supposed that during that time his attention had not been directed to what was called the reform of the Court of Chancery. He would v, nture to say too, on behalf of his predecessors, that from the time when Lord Clarendon made his orders, the judg, s who presided in the Court of Chancery had always been anxious to improve the practice of the Court. It was not by any extensive changes that improvement could be ef fected, but by orders made from time to time as circum stances should suggest. He trusted that the Noble and Learned Lord would always secure to that House an op portunity of attentively and patiently considering any alte rations which he might propose. The Noble and Learned Earl defended the Chancery Commission front the charge, which he said had been brought against it elsewhere, of being a most expensive Commission. He knew that none of the Commissioners bad either received or solicited re muneration for their labours. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that no change in the practice of the Court of Chancery, or any other court, •hould ever be propounded by him without the most grave consideration, and without obtaining, as far as human pre caution could go, security against rash and hasty legisla tion. The blank in the Bill was then filled up with the words " the 20th of August, 1833," and the Bill was read a third time and passed. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—As this Bill is now passed, I trust that I may be indulged by b,ing allowed to address a few words to your Lordships, which I have ab stained from doing until now. lam sorry to find, from what has parsed in another house, that some observations which I made at an early stage of this measure have given pain—l will not say in what quarter, for I never once re ferred to any individual, by name or description, in a way vhich was unparliamentary or offensive; and if I had done so, your Lordships would have been the first to correct me. I understand, however, that my observations have given pain, and it is always deeply Trtin'ul to me to give pain. 1 trust I may be allowed to add, that I do net say that I made these observations under the influence of irritation or anger. I will not say so; but I did feel a degree of c.an tempt and scorn for a charge which I understood to have been in sinuated against me, at the very moment of nay life (and I will venture to say, at the moment of the life of any public [llan, be he who he may, that ever eximed) when such a charge was least merited. I felt that this charge was in sinuated at a moment when I was in the course of doing what I freely admit to have been an act of some impru dence, it may, perhaps, be called folly,—an act which, considering every thing, strictly speaking I had no right, in point of ordinary prudence, to do. I felt it a little irk some to have insinuations thrown out against ale, as if my conduct was sordid, and inconsistent with my principles, at the very time when to those principles I was making a great and substantial sacrifice. It would be folly—it would be mere childishness, to say that I do not feel that the sacrifice which I was then making was considerable, hut, so help me God, I had not the slightest reluctance in making it. I mention this circumstance as a reason why I felt great scorn and contempt at the insinuation which was directed against rne, and when I was esprissing my self, I perhaps carried my scorn and contempt further than I ought, and applied them in some respect, or at least mad e them seem to apply, to the quarter from which the charge came, whereas I should have applied my scorn and con tempt to the charge itself. My nature is very abhorrent from the charge which was made against me, and it is not extraordinary that I should have felt scorn at it. Adjourned. HO m U a n S u f E a t u O r e F r o C f O L c N o in S p , a A i n tr i n o: s . r f 7' l s ondon, the silk Mr. Alderman VENABLES presented a petition from de cision of the Committee en the silk trade. The Hon. Member ent e r e d i n t o a l ong d eta il o f t h e gr i evances com plained of by th e pet i t i oners , w hi c h h e t h oug ht well the worthy the attention of the House. Mr. H. L. BULWER hoped, as Member for Coven try, he might be allowed to say a few words upon this subject, which was so intimately connected with that town. The Hon Gentleman then went into the evidence that was given before the Committee, in order to show that the distress among the silk-workers was much greater now than when a much less quantity of silk was used. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN felt called upon to state his views upon this subject. He held in his hand several protests against the proceeding of th*t Conimitt i e, from which it appeared that the greatest distress e xi ste d , Vice-President autwithstanding the declarations o f t he of the Board of Trade to the contrary. The present was not A subject for levity of manners. Mr. P. THOMSON denied having treated the sub ject with levity. The Hon. Alderman had referred to hint by a name not usually wade use of in that lions?, and it
