PETITIONS.

The Earl of SHAFTESBITRY presented several peti tions, praying for the inspection of nunneries. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS BILL. This bill! was read a second time on the motion of LORD GRANVILLE. FOREIGN SEAMEN IN BRITISH SHIPS. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition from the master mariners, mates, and seamen of Hartle pool against any repeal of the provision of Act 12 Vic., restricting the number of foreign seamen in British ships. The noble earl expressed his regret at the fact of the tonnage of this country not having increased in the same proportion as that of foreign coun tries. The increase of shipping on the continent had been of late years 66 per cent., and in this country only 21. The actual number of our seamen falls short of the calculated returns, and short pay, which was about 91. per year, was hardly sufficient to supply them with ne cessaries. It would be highly impolitic to assist the shipowners by reducing the rate of wages, and thereby reduce the number of seamen. On the maintenance of the maritime strength of this country its safety depended, and that was a question of more importance than the in terest of any single mercantile class. There was no loss which would be more fatal to the country than that of the hearcs of its brave defenders. Lord GRANVlllEdepr6cate d a discussion upon a subject which would so soon, in a more tangible form, occupy the attention of the house. A measure was uow under the consideration of the Government, but nothing could be further from their intention than lo reduce the rate of wages to the seamen. It was not his opinion that the employment of foreign seamen would injure the English sailor. A very large number of English sailors were at present in the American service. He must enter a protest against the idea going forth to the country that the Government intended to bring in any measure which would have the effect of reducing the wages of the Eng lish seamen. Lord COLCHESTER was of opinion that the em ployment of foreign seamen was highly prejudicial to the English sailors. Earl GREY could not regard the measure which the Government were about to introduce as calculated to reduce the wages of British sailors. There was no law which prevented the introduction of skilled labour into this country, and he did not see why the maritime ser vice should form an exception. His belief was that the employment of foreign seamen would not have the effect of decreasing the rate of wages. The Duke of ARGYLL said that it was the expecta tion of the Government that the measure which they were about to introduce would have the effect of better ing the condition of the sailors of this country. England was essentially a maritime country, and need not fear free competition with any other nation. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH BILL. This bill was read a third time. Their lordships then adjourned at a little after six o'clo ck. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at a few minutes to four o'clock. NEW MEMBER.

HALL gave notice of the terms of the motion which he intended to move on the 19th of April next. The substance of it was that he would call the attention of the house to parliamentary papers of the present ses sion, Nos. 67, 271, and 272, relating to dockyard pro motions and appointments, and move the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the circumstances connected with the cancelling, on the 9th of Ap►il,lBs2, of the circular of the Admiralty of the 26th of September, 1849, without any order or minute of the Board of Admiralty ; also into the circumstances under which a letter addressed by Sir Baldwin Walker to Mr. Staf ford, the Secretary of the Admiralty, in which letter he tendered his resignation, and why that letter was with held from the board; and also into the circumstances con nected with the appointment of Mr. Jas. Wells as master smith of Portsmouth Dockyard, and the subsequent can celling of the same, and the appointment of Mr. Geo. Costell in his stead, and generally into the exercise of the influence and patronage of the Admiralty in several Parliamentary boroughs at the 1 st general election. BORNEO. Mr. HUME stated that in consequence of the Go vernment having told him that it was their intention to institute an inquiry into the proceedings at Borneo, it was not his intention to proceed with his motion on the subject. REFORM OF THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. In reply to Sir B. HALL, Lord J. RUSSELL said it was t h e i ntent i on o f t h e Government to appoint very soon a commission for the purpose of inquiring into the reform of the corporation of the City of London, and of preparing a measure on the subject. (Cheers.) CANADA CLERGY RESERVES. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked Lord J. Russell whether he had consulted the law officers, or was otherwi se pre pared to state the opinion of her Majesty's Government, whether, in the event of the Clergy Reserves (Canada) Bill, now before the house, being passed into a law, and the Legislature of Canada exercising the power that would be given to them to secularise the clergy reserves, the guarantee upon the Consolidated Fund, which is given to the Churches of England and Scotland in Upper Canada by section 8 of the Act 3 and Vie., c. 78, would still he in force, and would per tanently secure t o th ose Ch urc h es respec ti ve ly the nual sums specified in the said section of the said act ? Lord J. RUSSELL said Nt ith respect to the stipends which are now assigned and paid t o th e c l erg y o f the Churches of E ng la n d and Scotland, I know not that there will he any doubt as to the provisions of the . bill. Zihat clbrgy wi4l. still have a right to ; claim the ,taai.nd , stipends which are already assigned y to a th pro vided the clergy:nisei - Ow are not sufficientefinor pay ment, then - they - will have a claim on the consolidated fund, as is given to them by the existing law. If the right hon. gentleman, however, wishes to ask further, whether, in the case of the clergy reserves being secu larised, any of the clergy who may be hereafter appoint ed would have a claim on the consolidated fund, I have to say that that is a question on which the law officers of the Crown have not been consulted. Mr. BRIGHT wished to know whether in the nego ciations which had taken place with the Archbishop of Canterbury the contingency had been alluded to that possibly the clergy reserves might be secularised or alienised by the Canadian Parliament, and whether the Archbishop of Canterbury had given his assent to the measure on behalf of the Church of Scotland, which re. , - pudiated bishops ? (Laughter.) Lord J. RUSSELL—I thought I had stated clearly to the house what took place on that occasion. Sir R. Peel was the person who undertook the negotiations on the subject. I did not see the archbishop, nor had I any communication directly with him. The negotiations were carried on directly by Sir R. Peel, but I believe the Archbishop of Canterbury did not take into contem plation the secularisation of the clergy reserves. I cer tainly do not remember any such contingency being referred to them. With regard to the other point, the Archbishop of Canterbury did not undertake to answer for the Church of Scotland ; but I believe he and Sir R. Peel communicated with certain parties be longing to that Church—to the Commissioners of the General Assembly,—who are held to represent that Church, and whose authority has not been disputed. NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. SEYMOUR wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the Government will give orders that until the select committee shall have reported to the house on the National Gallery, n o c l ean i ng o f t h e p i ctures th erein contained, except careful dry dusting, shall be per mitted. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he would make inquiries into the subject, and give an answer on Monday. LYME ELECTION. In reply to Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, Mr. TUFNELL said it was not his intention to proceed with the motion of which he had given notice— viz., to move the issue of a new writ for the borough of Lyme. MEROPOLITAN GRAVE-YARDS. Mr. SEYMOUR said according to the return pub lished by the Registrar General, it appeared that the deaths last week in the metropolis numbered 1,748, while in the corresponding week last year the number was 1,130, and therefore the mortality last week was 618 above the average of ten years, making due allowance for an increase in the population. He wished on that ac count to ask the Secretary of State for the Home De partment when the grave-yards and burial-places within the city and metropolis of London are to be finally closed, and what further steps have been taken to pro vide the means of extramural interment. _ Lord PALMERSTON could only repeat what lie had already stated to the house, namely, that competent medical officers had been appointed to inspect all the graveyards In the metropolis. Many of the graveyards, upon their report, had been closed by an or d r in Coun cil, and he had no doubt that the same course would be pursued in reference to the others. With regar d t o making future arrangements for the burial of the dead, he apprehended that such arrangements must rest with the parishes concerned, but he thought the ground which had been recently purchased near Woking would be found amply sufficient to meet the demands of the metropolis for some time to come. NATIONAL EDUCATION IN IRELAND. Mr. F. SCULLY wished to ask Lord John Russell, whether any arrangements have been adopted to insure the sale of books intended for the use of the Irish Na tional Schools, to the promoters of schools and the pub lic, in an authentic form and at a moderate price. Lord J. RUSSELL replied in the affirmative. THE FUNDS. Mr. DISRAELI said the amended resolutions on the subject of the public funds had been placed in his hands to-night ; and as there were numerous alterations in them, he should be glad to know if it was intended to take a vote upon them to-night, or only to have the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon them ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that would depend upon the house itself. It would be for the house to determine, after hearing his state ment, whether it would proceed at once to a vote or postpone it until next week. WEST INDIA MAIL. In reply to Mr. SPOONER, Sir J. GRAHAM stated that complaints from all the outports were daily pouring into the Admiralty of the irregularities which were constantly taking place in the dispatch and arrival of the West India mail. The West India Steam Packet Company were in receipt of 270,0001. for carrying the mails, and these irregularities were most unjustifiable, but the company insisted that as these irregularities related to a point of time, they did not vitiate the contract, and the subject had been submitted to the law officers of the Crown. (Hear, hear.) NATIONAL DEBT. The house then went into committee, Mr. BOUVERIE, on the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, in the chair. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to move the following resolutions :- " 1.

In the first place, he said he wished to modify the ex pectations which had been raised in the public mind with respect to the intentions of the Government. The propositions which he was about to recommend were not of a nature to effect any sweeping or fundamental changes, but were propositions advantageous in them selves, and calculated to lay the foundations for more extended future operations. pie would remind the house that there was a great difference between the po sition of a Minister of Finance now coming forward to propose any operations on the public debt, and the po sition of any former Finance Minister coming forward for the same purpose. All operations from the time of the peace to the period which they had been so ably wound up by the right hon. gentleman the member for the University of Cambridge. He had marked the dif ferent stages, from the time of war when money was dif ficult to be obtained, to the time of peace and commercial prosperity in 1822. Lord Bexley proposed a commu tation of the public debt, and operating on a capital of 152,000,0001., he had effected a saving of 1,206,000/. ; in 1824, Lord Ripon operating on a capital of 77,000,0001. had effected a saving of 390,0001. in 1831. Mr. Goul burn had operated upon a capitel of 153,000,0001., had effected a saving of 753,0001., and in 1844 the same right honourable gentleman had operated upon a capital of 245,000,0001., and had effected a saving of 1,244,000/. These cases were widely dif ferent from the present case. To reduce the interest from 5 per cent, to 4, from 4 to 31, and from 3f to 3, was a very different thing from dealing with a debt at 3 per cent., which appeared to be the limit which could be arrived at in all transactions of this nature. The debt now amounted to 500,000,0001., more than double of any sum which it had as yet been attempted to approach for the purposes of reduction ; and it must also be re membered that Parliament had secured their stock by provisions requiring a Parliamentary notice of 12 months before any measure of reduction or commutation could be applied. A large compulsory operation was quite out of the question. It was, however, the opinion of the Government, that though they could not at present effect any great and magnificent result, such as those which had been effected by former Ministers, yet a beginning could be made, and steps taken, useful so far as they went, which would lay the ground, whereas yet there had never been any laid. No one could admit more fully than he did the full right of Parliament to retain in its own hands the control of these operations, and the more responsibility it took on itself the less would there be to be borne by the Minister ; but in transactions of this nature it was ne cessary that everything should be done without delay and with resolution, and it would be necessary always for the house to put some degree of confidence in its agent, the Minister, and not embarrass his operations by insisting on too full and detailed premature discus sion of his propotitions. The plan of the Government consisted of three portions. The first portion was the liqui dation of certain minor stocks, which appeared upon the schedule of the national debt, and of the existence the greater portion of the public, and perhaps of that house, were entirely unaware. They were chiofly connected with the South Sea Company, and they amounted in the whole to about 9,500,000/. It might to be asked, why did he trouble these stocks, which might be called our yitriarchical stocks, and which represented the oldest forms of the national debt ? They consisted of several descriptions of stock, each possessing the same proper ties, and none having any advantage over the other, and that he thought was by no means desirable. Further that this, although he had nothing to say against the corporation which managed this portion of the debt, yet he thought it would be as well to bring the whole debt under one board of management. The saving he expected to effect by this operation would amount to about2s,ooo/. If these parties should happen to make a call for cash, it would by no means be inconvenient, because it would enable the Government to employ their present idle capital, and the saving to the country would be still greater than 28,0001. a year. The funds to meet this change would be obtained from various sources, namely, the idle capital in the Exchequer, the sale of New Bonds, and the issuing of New Stock. The second resolution related to the issuing of Exchequer Bonds, and the third to the voluntary commutation of stock, The time must come when the interest of money must be greatly reduced, but though that might be so, it was still the duty of Parliament to make provision for such a future reduction. Public credit stood high at the present mo ment it was true, but there had been a time when it stood much higher. The price of stock to-day was at par, but some years ago it stood at 1101., and such a rise might take place again. Well, then, the second re solution would provide for the issue of Exchequer Bonds, carrying interest at the rate first of 21. 15s. Od., and then 21. 10s. Od. per cent., up to 1854, when it would be reserved to Parliament to effect a redemption. These bonds were simple and as free as pos sible from objections. They were not to exceed 30,000,0001., and before they were issued measures would be taken to make their transfer easy and inexpensive. There would be four modes of trans fer. In the first place, the bonds might be exchanged against Exchequer Bills, and this provision, he thought, would be found highly conducive to the public interest. The funding of Exchequer Bills under the existing system often told against the public purse. For instance, it had never happened that they were funded under 31. Os. per cent. ; while, under the new plan, the fund ing of Exchequer Bills could be accomplished for 21. 10s. per cent. There would be three other modes of transfer, but the one which he had just explained was perhaps the most important. He fully believed and an ticipated that these securities would be popular with the public ; there were many foreign securities circulating in this country which it was equally easy to transfer, though not absolutely from hand to hand, as would be the case in this instance, and lie apprehended that these exchequer bonds would take the place of many of these foreign securities. The price of guaranteed stock at the present moment was 1021. 17s. 6d., while unguaranteed stock sold at 991. 17s. 6d., and in issuing these exchequer bonds, the Government was anxious to give the public the benefit of the first certainty. But under the existing system, public securities. were almost entirely excluded from the provincial market ; but, under the new plan, the markets of such places as Liverpool and Glasgow would be thrown open to the public securities.

A. Y. SPEARMAN, Comptroller-General. LIVERPOOL PRODUCE MARKETS.-April 7. There has been rather a want of animation in our pro duce markets during the past month ; still we have expe rienced a steady demand for most articles, and prices generally are without material change. In the early part of the month an active demand prevailed for sugar, and an advance of 6d to is per cwt. was established ; this, however, has not been maintained, chiefly owing to the large quantities of M aur iti us an d M a d ras being brought forwarded in the London market, which have had the effect of influencing prices here. The stocks in the kingdom have increased, imports having been considerable; still the total deficiency reaches 20,000 tons, against the same period last year. Tea.—Medium to fine Congous have been in good de mand, but in consequence of the unwillingness of holders to sell except at an advance on previous rates, business has been prevented. Common congous have advanced fully id. per lb. on the preN:ous month's rates. The coffee market has been without activity, although foreign has been taken rather freely for export. In dyewoods only a limited business has been done, and prices are unchanged. About 50 tons St. Domingo log wood are reported at 61 7s 6d to 61 108 ; a small lot of bar wood, at 61 2s 6d ; about 50 tons Spanish fustic, at 515 s ; and a few tons of ebony, at 91 7s 6d per ton. OILS.—Of palm oil 300 to 400 tons have changed hands, on the spot and for arrival, at 331 lOs to 341 per ton, being improved rates. Pale seal may be quoted at 361 to 361105, and cod at 331 to 341 per ton. Tallow is rather firmer, with yellow candle at 46s 6d. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET-APRIL 7. • The sales since March 31 have been 45,000 bags, of which 15,C00 have been taken for export and on speculation. In prices there is no alteration. The arrivals since March 31 have 36 vessels from the United States, 4 from Brazil, 1 from Egypt, and 8 from Bombay. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. It is reported that the vacant promotion to the rank of captain has been given to Commander Thomas Chal oner (1845). Captain Cbaloner is known as a good, humane, and efficient officer. His last service was in command of the Siren, 16, on the co a st o f Af r i ca, when he was senior offi cer o f a division. It is stated that Captain Williams Sandom (1828) is to succeed Rear-Admiral Rich as superintendent of the Royal Naval Hospital and the Royal William Victual ling Yard. Captain Sandom's last employment was in command on the lakes of Canada. Rear-Admiral Corry re-hoisted his flag yesterday in the Prince Regent, 90, in Plymouth Sound, and took the sea-going ships there under his command. He is under orders to proceed on a cruise with a squadron, composed of his flag-ship, the Prince Regent, 90, Capt. Hutton ; Vengeance, 84, Lord Edward Russell ; Leo pard, 16, steam-frigate, Captain Giffard ; Valorous, 10, steam-frigate, Captain Buckle; Vulture, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Glasse ; Magicienne, 16, steam-frigate, Captain Fisher. The Queen, 116, Captain Mitchell, was not ready to receive the flag as intended, and cannot go to sea, being nearly 400 short of complement. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 7. The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, Captain Fremantle, and the Sidon, 22, paddle-frigate, Captain Goldsmith, returned to Spithead to day from Plymouth ; and the Basilisk, new paddle-sloop, 6, Commander the Hon. F. Egerton, from Glasgow, to complete for foreign service. Low water was selected to bring her into harbour, and she took the ground and held fast when off the King's rooms, and remains a fixture at the time of writing, a subject for the jeers and jokes of hundreds of seamen, watermen, and others. Sir Thomas Cochrane, Commander-in chief, Rear-Ad miral Fanshawe, and a party of other official personages embarked on board the steam-vessel Sprightly, Mr. Go. Allen, acting master, commanding, this morning, and proceeded to Sconce Point to inspect; the new battery erecting there. They returned in the evening. The following young officers (midshipmen, R.N.) passed examinations in seamanship, qualifying for the rank of lieutenant, on board her Majesty's ship Victory, yester day :—Mr. Keith Stewart, of her Majesty's ship Blen heim ; Mr. James H. Whit e h ea d, o f h er Majesty's ship Victory; and Mr. George W. Strong, of her Majesty's ship Hogue. SHEERNESS, APRIL 7. The Barracouta, 6, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Com mander George Parker, is ordered to proceed to the Nore, where the crew will be paid advance on Saturday next. Her destination is not known at present. The Amphion, 34, screw !steam-frigate, Capt. Charles G. E. Patey, has made a trial trip down the Swin, and is reported upon most favourably. Her engines work admirably, and she bids fair to stand without a rival as a steam-frigate of her class. She has taken in her powder, shell, &c., and was inspected yesterday by Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy, Commander-in-chief. The crew were put through their gun exercise, &c., and proved to be fully efficient. Captain Patey and the officers were highly complimented by the gallant admiral for the dis cipline and skill of the crew. The Amphion saluted the Admiral, which was returned by the Waterloo, 120, flag ship. The Amphion i s now rea d y f or immediate ser vice, having her full complement of men, ammunition, and stores on board. She will take from here as smart a ship's crew as we have seen for some time past —many from the Phaeton, Castor, &c. She has had all her weather and main deck guns covered with a chemical preparation of black lead, which gives them the appear ance of being highly polished, and is reputed to be im pervious to salt water or any weather. Her compasses have been adjusted. The Imp4rieuse, 60, screw steam frigate, Captain Run dle B. Watson, C. 8., is to proceed to the Nore forth with. The crew will be paid in advance, and she is ordered to sail on Saturday next for Portsmouth. We were erroneously informed as to her deficiency of sea men ; it is certain that she is not 80 seamen short. Captain Watson has one-half of his crew of blue jackets composed of man-of-war's men, all of whom are thoroughly efficient in gunnery and gun exercise, the remainder of the crew being principally seamen volunteers from the merchant's service, who only require to be taught their gun exercise to qualify them for their present position in the service. It is gratifying to state that only seven men have run from their ship during the time she has been fitting, and, if report . be true, they are not worth finding. Her compasses have been adjusted. The crew of the Horatio, 24, screw steam guard ship, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, are at daily exercise in gunnery, and aloft reefing, and furling sails, &c. WOOLWICH, APRIL 7. horse T h The power,Sp Spiteful, arrived herep ad y cl ei c h r e d e a l;:s h t a e steam-sloop, tinntlbtn brought o ee o ne p d , ar o ot f ua 2 gn B hd riggers Ot from Devonport by the master -; a round of that dockyard, to have some defects in her machinery made good. Mr. Taplin, second assistant to the chief engineer, went on board the Spiteful in the forenoon, and she made a short run down the river to enable him to report on the state of her engines. The Medina, the Medusa, and the Jackall steam ves sels were taken out of the basin yesterday, and towed by the Monkey steam-vessel to moorings in the river, as it is intended to commence operations to-morrow for clear ing out the mud in the basin by means of bucket ma-, chines, preparatory to its being made ready to receive the Royal Albert, 131, screw steam-ship, on that vessel being launched in the course of the present year. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY. COURT-MARTlAL—Yesterday morning a court-martial was held on board the Impregnable, flag-ship at this port, to try John Newt, a serjeant of the Plymouth di vision of Royal Marines, serving on board the Queen, for paying, on Jan. 31, 1853, the sum of 3s. 6d. to James Rowe,. a private marine, serving on board the Queen, as part of a sum of money he, by an improper arrange ment, had agreed to pay to Rowe out of the strag gling money he (Newt) would be entitled to for capturing him as a straggler, if Rowe remained long enough on shore ; and for paying to John Rogers, a private marine, serving on board the same ship, 3s. 6d. under the same circumstances. The Court having heard the evidence for the prosecution and the defence, consi dered the charges proved against the prisoner, and sen tenced him to be reduced to a private, and mulcted of all pay due to him and time of servitude.

EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGE.—ATIOther of those ex traordinary marriages, which we reported about twelve months ago, has again taken place—namely, the mar riage of two deaf and dumb mutes, Thomas Omaley and Catherine M`Kean. The marriage was celebrated in the parish church of Ardtrea, on the 29th ultimo, by the Rev. Mr. Jones, curate of that parish. Mr. Whitaker acted as interpreter. Omaley was educated at Claremont, near Dublin, is a native of the county Mayo, and served his time in Moneymore to the tailoring business—which he gave up, and joined Miss Wright's school, for the education of the deaf, dumb, and the blind. Being an ex pert fellow, he soon learned to be an excellent carver in wood. So clever did he become at the business, that when the teacher whom Miss Wright had employed to teach the others had left, he was fit to take his place and to teach the others. Catherine was brought up in Moneymore, and was educated at the same school. She is also very cleyer at the carving work, and not only at this, but is also an excellent hand at any kind of needle work, either plain or fancy. They are able to earn from 12s. to 15s. weekly. They can both read and write well.—Dublin Freeman. COUNTRY MARK 2'S. BOSTON—APRIL 6. With a scanty supply of wheat the trade ruled be,„,,,, 3 %, 3 t, is per quarter. In spring corn no alteration.
