Sir Jonah Barring on in his Personal Sketches, how an Irish lady, whose husband kept a black servant, was delivered of a black child, to the lady's own great consternation, and to the still greater consternation of her husband and relations. We quote the sequel of ti'e stury. " Sufficient," says Sir Jonah, " could be gathered to demonstrate that young 'Master Washington had not one white, or even grey spot on his entire body, and that some frizzled hair was already beginning to show itself on his little pate ; but that no nurse could be found who would give him a drop of nourishment, even were he famishing—all the women verily believing, that, as Mrs. Washington was herself an unexceptionable wife, it must be a son of the d—l by a dream, and nothing else than an imp hubbub in any neighbourhood as now took place in and about the town of Castle Durrow Mr. Washington and the Lieutenant were by no means at ease upon the subject of this freak of nature Lieutenant Palmer was, of course, high in blood for the honour of his sister, and Mr. Washington cock-a-whoop for the honour of his wife The father and uncle decided calmly and properly to lay the whole affair before a consultation of doctors to know if it was not a regular imagination mark.-- All the doc tors in the neighbourhood were called in to the consultation. Old Butler, the farrier, came with all expedition to Dureen, and begged leave to give his opinion and offer his ser vices, wishing to see Master Washington be fore the doctors arrived, as he had a secret for turning any skin, ever so brown, as white as milk. On seeing Master Washington, however, he declared he was too black entirely for his medicines, or any body else's. The first point stated and unanimously agreed on, was, that the child was black.' The reasons for that colour being universal on the young gentleman were not quite so clear. At length Dr. Bathron, finding he had the lead . declared, with great gravity, that he had read many authors upon the subject of marks, and could take upon himself positively to assert, that the child was (according to all authority on such matters) a cases omissus. The others, not being exactly sure either of the shape, size, or colour of a cases omisszts, thought it better to accede to what they did not compre hend, and all subscribed to the opinion, that the child was a cases omissus. . . . Dr. Bathron, however, having, by search of old book-stalls in Dublin, (whither he went for the purpose,) found an ancient treatise, translated from the work of the high German Doctor Cratorious, (who flourished in the fourteenth century,) on skinning certain parts of the body to change the colour or complexion, as effectually to disguise criminals who had escaped from prison,—by which means, likewise, disfiguring marks, freckles, moles, &c. might be removed,—de cided, that, if this could be done partially, why not on the entire body, by little and little, and not skinning one spot till the last should be healed ? He, therefore, stated to Mr. Wash ington, and all the good family of Dineen, that he would take upon himself to whiten the child, as he was perfectly satisfied that the black skin was merely the outside, or scarf-skin, and that the real skin and flesh underneath were the same as any body else's. The mode of operating was now the subject of difficulty. It was suggested, and agreed on, to call in Mr. Knaggs, the Doc tor of Mount Melec The state of practice in Ireland suggested but two ways of performing this notable operation ; one purely surgical, the other surgico-medical ; namely, either by gradually flaying with the knife, or by blisters. Most people inclined to the blister, but the Doctors, conceiving a blis ter might not rise regularly, and would, in that case, leave the child piebald, determined, as a first experiment, to try both. Accordingly, a strong blister, two i nc h es b y t h ree , was p l ace d on the child's right arm, and, being properly co vered, remained there without inflicting any torture for above half an hour. The left arm was reserved for the scalpel and forceps, and the operator en t erta i ne d no doubt whatever of complete success . Th e mo d e he pursued was very scientific ; he made two parallel slashes as deep as he could in reason, about three inches down the upper part of the arm, and across one, to introduce the forceps and strip the loose black skin off, when he could snip it away at the bot tom, and leave the white, or rather red flesh, underneath, to generate a new skin, and show the proper colouring for a god-child of General Washington. All eyes were now rivetted to the spot. The women cried in an under key to Master George, who roared. " Hush, hush, my dear," said the doctor, " you don't know what's good for you, my little innocent," whilst he ap plied the forceps, to strip off the skin like a sur tout. The skin was tight, and would not come away cleverly with the first tug, as the doctor had expected ; nor did anything white appear, though a sufficiency of red blood manifested itself.— The doctor was greatly surprised. " I see," said he, "it is somewhat deeper than we had conceived. We have not got deep enough." Another gash on each side ; but the second gash had no better success.— Doctor Bathron seemed desperate ; but con ceiving that, in so young a subject, one short cut, be it ever so deep, could do no harm, his hand shook, and he gave the scalpel its full force, till he found it touch the bone. The experi ment was now complete ; he opened the wound, and starting back, affected to be struck with horror, threw down his knife, stamped and swore the child was, in filet, either the devil or a haus nat era, for that he could see the very bone, and the child was actually coal-black to the bone, and the bone black also, and that he would not have taken a thousand guineas to have given a single gash to a thing which was clearly supernatural— actually dyed in grain. He appeared distracted ; however, the child's arm was bound up, a good poultic e p u t over it, th e blister hastily removed from the other arm, and the young gentleman, fortunat e ly f or D r . B at h ron , recovered from the scarification, and lived with an old dry - nurse for four or fi ve years. H e was t h en killed by a cow of his father's horning him, and died with the full rep utat i on of having b een a d evi l in which w as f u ll y corroborate d b y a white sister. MARY LEB ONE. Yesterday Dr. Algernon Sidney Vandenburgh, who had been represented to be a student in medi cine, but is ascertained to be a medical practitioner, in the vicinity of Bethnal•green, and who failed to answer his recognizance from Tuesday night, came before Mr. HOSKINS, the Sitting Magistrate, by summons. Mr. HOSKINS, addressing Dr. Vandenburgh— Why did you neglect to attend here yesterday, Sir ? Defendant—l was taken ill with the cramp in my stomach, Sir, and I could not come. . . MAGISTRATE—WeII, Sir, you are likely to feel another kind of cramp, since your recognizance fur 201. is entreated by your non-attendance here. The police constable D 127 (William Essex), was upon his beat at the corner of Upper Baker street, Park-road, on Tuesday night, when called in to assist the landlord of the - Volunteer tavern, who was annoyed by the defendant's forcing his way into the house, and quarrelling with the Marquis of Hertford's servants. That Nobleman was giving an entertainment, or fete, and had directed his people to refresh themselves at the Volunteer; and in trying to get the Doctor out, the latter knocked three of the complainant's teeth into his mouth. Defendant was takent with difficulty to the station house, where inspector Cresswell set him a tliberty on his recognizance. Dr. Vandenburgh, upon the day named,had been dining with the Lumber Troop, at the Eyre Arms, St. John's Wood, and must have been looking for a cabrio let on his return; but how he got into the volunteer house,or what happened there, he was unconscious of. MAGISTRATE—WeII, Sir, you are fined 3/. for this assault on the constable. Defendant paiu the penalty. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Mrs. Molly Hill, an elderly lady weighing about twenty stone, brought Mrs. Betsy and Miss Betsy Grace, before Mr. DYER, for having, with malice aforethought, inflicted a pinch on her left arm, and a scratch on one of her ample cheeks. From Mrs. Hill's version of the story, it appears that Mrs. Betsy Grace had flung a pail of water over her little boy Bobby, and upon her going to demand an explanation of this proceeding, Miss Betsy " kicked up a combustion," which eventu ally ended in one of them perpetrating the pinch, and the other the scratch. To prove the truth of her statement, she declared that she had brought a whole volume of witnesses, who were waiting outside. Mrs. Betsy Grace, in explanation of the affair of the pail of water, declared that as she was "slush ing" her door, the child " jumped quite promiscu ously through it. Whereupon," continued Mrs. Grace, " Mrs. Hill, who was tosticated in liquor, came flying over to my house like a roaring lion,' and knocked successively at my door in a most vio lent manner. I went out, and says to her, 'Do, my good woman, hear reason„ as I wanted to talk to her in the most sensible manner; but no, your Worship, she calls me every thing but a lady, and abuses my darter, who came to hear the rumption,' with everything she could lay her tongue to. Mr. DYER, understanding they all lived in South ampton-court, inquired why they could not live peaceably together ? Why, your Worship, said Mrs. Grace, my hus band and her'n moves in werry different circ►es now, for, now we've left off taking in washing, we keeps the werry first society ; me and my family are parti cular intimate with Mr. Smith, the great muffin maker, and my darter wisits the family of the Jone,'s, as keeps a large wholesale green-grocer's at the corner of our court, on terms of equal footing. So as we ranks ourselves above low people, we don't associate with Mrs. Hill and her family. Mr. DYER recommended the parties to retire and settle ; but Mrs. Hill, who felt the indignity offered to the gentility of her family more than the assault, proposed such unreasonable terms as the price of conciliation, that they were all compelled to apply to the Magistrate again, who at once dismissed the warrant. THAMES-POLICE. Yesterday Mr. Selwood, the Churchwarden, and one of the Overseers of St. Botolph 'Without, Aid gate, attended before Captain RICIIBELL, the sitting Magistrate, to meet a complaint made by Mr. Kelly, an Irish gentleman, and a surgeon in extensive prac tice in Shadwell, that they had neglected to provide proper medical attendance for numerous individuals lately attacked with cholera in the neighbourhood of Rosemary-lane. Mr. Kelly begged leave to state that nothing could exceed the virulence of the disease amongst the lower order of Irish in the vicinity of Rosemary. lane, which he attributed to the want of proper as. sistance, and the neglect of the parochial authori ties. He could assure the Magistrates that the mortality had been very great; the young and healthy had fallen victims to the disease, and many had suffered for the want of sustenance arid sufficient clothing. The fatal cases had amounted to at least one-half the number attacked, and but for the gra tuitous assistance he had rendered many more would have died. Mr. Selwood, in reply, complained that Mr. Kelly had made a most unfounded and exaggerated statement to the Lambeth-street Magistrate. Since Thursday fortnight the parish-officers had employed four medical gentlemen to attend the cholera pa tients, who were told they might have everything they .vanted. Mr. Kelly declared that there was no place what ever in the parish to which persons attacked with cholera could be removed. The Overseer said the Irish would not let the parish doctors come in, and nothing could make them clean. Mr. Kelly said his countrymen had their peculiar predilections, and wanted Roman Catholic clergy, and surgeons of their own. The overseers said the Irish inhabited upwards of 200 houses in the parish, which had no owners, and for which they never paid any rent ; and they cer tainly had a peculiar predilection for a h and dirt. Mr. SELWOOD said, on the first breaking out of the disease in the metropolis, they fitted up a large house as a cholera hospital, but they could persuade but few to go to it, and the people said those that died were killed by the doctors. They had, how ever, two small houses whither patients could be re moved if they pleased. The overseers said they had ample funds to pro vide every assistance to those attacked with cholera. Mr. Kelly said in that case the parish officers might employ him, as he bad great influence amongst his countrymen, and he could cure the disease by calomel and opium, which he hoped would be made known. An Overseer said the fact was Dr. Kelly wanted a job. Dr. Kelly replied with great warmth, " Indeed, Dr. Kelly wants no such thing." Osborn, the beadle, had been nearly murdered in attempting to lime-wash the houses, and he had le formed every one that there was plenty of white wash if they liked to come for it. The deaths from cholera in Aldgate Without, since June 28, amount ed to 50 ; amongst whom were several respectable shopkeepers, residing in Upper East Smithfield, opposite Sr. Katharine Dock. The mortality in Whitechapel, adjoining Aldgate, had been great. After en angry altercation between Mr. Kelly and the parochial authorities— Captain RICIIHRLI. said the parish officers were deserting of great praise, particularly Mr. Selwood, for what they had done ; and he acquitted them ( f any neglect. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Richard Stanton, the man who mutilated by his wife some years ago, was brotiald before Mr. MURRAY for re-examination, charged with the intermarrying with Lydia Hughes, his for mer wife being still alive. The prisoner's first wife who inflicted the serious injuries on his person with a razor, and with whom he still lives, has kept out of the way since F. was taken into custody. The certificate of her mar* riagee to the prisoner, dated 1820, was pr• dread, and Francis Lask, her uncle, stated that bo was present at the ceremony, and was one of the sub scribing witnesses thereof. The witness said that he had seen his niece but once since she had woun• ded her husband, and that was about seven years ago. She expressed great sorrow for what she had done, and implored his forgiveness, but witness would not listen to any apology from her, after ha ving been guilty of so dreadful an act as that which she had committed. The first wife's aunt was also examined, and she stated that she was also present at her marriage with the prisoner, and had seen her within the last four years. .. . . . .... Lydia Hughes produced the certificate of her marriage to the prisoner in July, 1825, about three months after he had been mutilated by his first wife. In her cross-examination by Mr. Harmer's clerk, she said that she had known Stanton nine or ten years altogether. She was aware, previously to her marriage with him, that he was a married man, and that he had been wounded with a razor by his wife. He assured her that his marriage with his first wife was null and void in law, and that was the reason she (Lydia Hughes) had accepted his offer, arid married him. She added, that she was confined with a child by the prisoner, in nine months after her marriage, and that no mortal but him had a right to father it. The prisoner said that he had nothing to say in answer to the charge. He was therefore committed upon the above evi dence, but is to be brought up again on a future day, in order that the registry of the two marriages may be produced. A man named Smith was charged by policeman 178, M division, with having assaulted him under the following odd circumstances : The policeman, while on duty the preceding night, received the unwelcome intelligence that his wife and the defendant were seen to enter a brothel to gether. The moment he obtained the information, he proceeded to the house, and having easily ob tained admission, he ran up to the room, and burst ing in the door, caught the defendant and his wife just getting into bed together. The policeman went on to state that he demanded his wife, but the de fendant swore that she should not leave him, and, being a powerful man, he commenced an assault on the policeman and two others belonging to the same division, who came to his assistance. The defendant was drunk at the time, or should not have resisted the policeman in taking away his wife. He received a kindly invitation from the lady to accompany her. The policeman said his wife had since bolted, and the Magistrate remarked, that he had no reason to repine for his loss. The defendant was then tined 51. for assaulting the policeman under such aggravated circumstances, and in &fault of payment he was committed for two months to Brixton. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIA LPARLIAMENT THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. WISE presented two petitions in favour of the Anatomy Bill, and one from the National Political of Ireland, in favour of the Government plan of education. Union town of Waterford, complaining of the smuggling of sow, He also presented a petition from the soap boilers of the and praying for an alteration of the law regarding that commodity. Mr. HEY WOOD presented a petition from the congre gation of Unitarians assembled at Moseley street Chapel, Manchester, in favour of the Government plan of education in Ireland. The Hon. Member laid on the table a paper containing an account of the number of prisoners tried at Lancaster Assizes in each year since 1826, distinguishing the number in each hundred.—lt was ordered to be printed. Lord KILLEEN had a petition to present which affected in a great degree one of the dearest privileges of the people ; he meant the right of petitioning this House. It was from the town of Nobber in the county of Meath. A requisi tion had been signed, calling a meeting to be held on the 15th July, at the town of Lobber, for the purpose of petitioning this House. He did not know for certain, but his impression was, that the requisition was signed before the letter of Sir W. Gossett was published. He did not believe that the magistrates acted with any feelings of hostility towards the people, but that they merely acted in obedience to orders. However, they went there with a military and police force, and read first the letter of Sir W. Gossett, and next the Riot Act, after which they dispersed the meeting. The Noble Lord, after adverting to the statements in the petition, which corro borated the facts he had stated, proceeded to contend that the conduct of the petitioners was fully justified, inasmuc h as the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland had promised the people of that country a total abolition of tithes; instead of which he had brought in a Bill to perpetuate them, and render their payment compulsory. The moment the people struck at the rents, those who now advocated their cause would be against them.---(Hear.) Sir EDWARD SUGDEN thought the Noble Lord had treated the Right Hon. the Secretary for Ireland with great unfairness. He had never promised any thing ap proaching to a total extinction of tithes—be had spoken of a eotnmutation.—(Hear, hear.) fie agreed with the Noble Lord, that the moment the people struck at rents the landlord would be against them. Why would they be so? The answer was obvious; such a step would dram from the pockets of the landlords instead of the clergy. The meetings which had taken place in Ireland tithes on this subj ec t were hi g hl y ill ega l, an d h a d p l ace d t h at hear, ,the of puttingcountry in a s t ate o f comp l ete rebellion.—(Hear, hear.) opinion, would means ntl i e n into the pockets extinction o of the be of landlords a great portion of that which now went into the pockets of the clergy, and it was therefore the wonder that those who w ou ld b e t h us b enefited advocated and sanc tioned such illegal proceedings.—(Hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL congratulated the Right Hon. Se cretary on having so able a lawyer for his advocate, though he felt persuaded the correctness of his inten tions did not need it. With respect to Ireland being in a state of reb e l l i on, he must be allowed to say that not a single fetter h a d b een shaken, a single assault committed, or any improp er act ante by those who met for the purpose if possible of procuring the extinction of tithes. They talk about a reb e lli on i n Ireland; but if there was a rebellion, It was one with a single musket, or a pike, or a bayonet. The people met occasionally in considerable numbers— but then they were peaceable, they dispersed when told to do so by the magistrate. But he would ask why it was that the people of Ireland were not to be allowed to meet for the purpose of petitioning that House, as well as the people of England? How was it that there was no attempt to c rus h t h e meet i ng of 150,000 Engl i shmen at Bir mingham ? It was because they were Englishmen. Where was the Treasury hack, where was the paltry scribe, who dared to write a circular to the Magistrates to disperse that meeting? The lion. Gentleman (Mr. Stanley) might sneer and laugh, but would he do so when an impeach ment was banging over him in a reformed Parliament, when the House would be cleared of 250 of the nominees of Lords. —_ (Hear, hear.) They m i g ht cheer, but he was dete rm i ned, i f he was i n t h e next Parliament, that th a t H on. Gentleman shoul d b e impeached f it bis conduct towards Ireland. Was it to be borne that the priest should be dragged from his altar, the merchant from his country house, the tradesman from his shop, and t: country gentleman from his home all because they met the purpose of agreeing to petition that House? In whet other country would it he allowed, that all this should he done, and even insult added to it, by the persons being dragged through the streets by thief-taker, when not one but would have attended by a verbs message? certainly not in England. This was tl second celebrated letter of the Right Honourable Gen tle nan's upon this subject, and he Loped some Hon M enher would move for it, but if not he would himself do it in another Parliament. There was not a word in this letter of instructions, that the mag s trafes were to act upon information on oath. WII it then had become of the boasted liberty of a British subject, when the magistrates were ordered to act upon any fancy they might themselves form. What he com plained of was, that the meeting in the county Meath was dispersed, when they had met for the purpose of petition ing that House, a Deputy Lieutenant in the chair, a Ala. gistrate moving a resolution, and the people all quiet,—he complained that the meeting was dispersed, without tl e least pretence for saying that it was likely to cause any outrage. The petition, though not yet presented, would ere long be on the table of the House. He as as sine the subj et would not end here—it would be heard t f again and again, and he would say that the result would be that the people of Ireland would be as free to meet tor such a purpose as this one did, as the glorious people of England did, and in what numbers they should think proper. The people of Ireland had a noble example be fore them in the conduct of the Noble Lord opposite(Miltcn) he refused to pay taxes, they refused to pay tithes, they had as good a right to do so and they would continue to do it, but they would not commit one single breach of the peace. No, they would keep within the law to dis appoint their enemies. Mr. STANLEY thought it scarcely necessary that h thought follow the Hon. and Learned Gentleman through all the topics he bad touched upon. As for the threat of the Honourable Member he treated it with the same contempt as he had dose on former occasions, for it had often been repeated. There was no one more anxious to give and secure to the peril le all their rights, and more especially the right of petition ing that House, but it was not to be allowed that they should meet in such large assemblages as led to actual in timidation. Such meeting might be harmless in the country at one time and mast mischievous at another, and no man could say that in the pie sent state of Ireland they could possibly be allowed to go on without being most detrimental to the peace and safety of the country. He was told by the Hon. Gentle man that there was no outrage committed, but could that Hon. Gentleman say with truth that great outrages on proberty did not spring from these meetings. He knew that immense damage had been committed, and it as a easy to trace the cause. He agreed with the Hen. Gent. th it the case would not rest here, for prosecutions had already been commenced, and the case, the conduct tit both the Government and the parties must come before the legal and ordinary tribunals of the country ; this ren dered it unnecessary for him to say much at present upon the subject. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had said that the meeting was merely for the purpose of addressing that House, but in that case where was the necessity of flags and banners of a very seditious tendency. He had had a letter that morning from the Governor of the county, in which he was in formed, that though the meeting was not attended by all the districtt that intended to be present, yet there wete not less than 150,000 people assembled—and the Magis trates had information on oath, that flags were making, intended to be exhibited, two of which he had seen.— One of them was made of green and white—round the border was wrilten, " The people are the stronger," and in other parts, " He who would be free, must strike the first." " Ireland as she ought to be." Beneath this last was the figure of a llarp with the Crown detached, when the informant asked the meaning of this last, he was told, it was typical of the repeal of the Union. This proved that the character of the meeting was not what it was represented. The Magistrates acted on this information, and on other information which they had, but all on oath, and dispersed the meeting. In the present state of Ireland, the meeting was dangerous, the Government considered they had sufficient power to put them down by the law, and would do so on their own responsibility ; if the law was not strong enough, he would have no hesitation in coming either to that House or a reformed one for new powers. _ _ _ Mr. HUNT admired the dexterity with which the Right Hon. Gentleman interpreted the law, it was ex tremely convenient, the idea of meetings being barmle.s at one time and not at another. If the Birmingham had not been to keep the Miaistry in their places it also would have been illegal. • Mr. SHIEL said he should support the petition,` Were the Government justified, he would ask, without an Act of Parliament, in dispersing meetings which had as sembled for the constitutional purpose of petitioning that House ? The Orange meetings were permitted to go on, headed even by martial muse and banners, in various parts of the country, attended in some instances by up wards of 300,000, among whom were some Magis trates ; and although they were fraught with every circumstance of alarm and intimidation, and although they had been denounced before hand, while a meeting which took place in the county of Meath, not for intimidation, but for the purpose of petitioning Parlia ment, was dispersed at the point of the bayonet.—(Hear.) If the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Stanley) was right in the opinions of the Law Officers of the Crown, why was it that he had introduced the Party proceesion Bill ? The question was not whether Ireland was in a perilous condition, it was not wheiher these meeting was to be dispersed, but whether the law of the land was to be violated, and the constitution infringed thereby ? The people of England has a direct and immediate interest in this, because if a precedent were adopted in a province, it would speedily be established and extended as conveni ences might require. It had been said by the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Memly-r for Tamwortli) on a former occasion, that he would support any new clause for the purpose of strengtening the executive in Ireland, and undoubtedly if Ireland were in desperate circumstances she might be legislrted for accordingly. But were the Government to act on extraordinary powers, before they received them ? Mr. CRASIPTON said the Government bad no inten tion to interfere with the right of petitioning. But the Hon. Member for Louth had assumed that the meeting ou the subject of this petition was legal, and constitutionally assembled for a constitutional purpose. It was, however, assembled nominally for one purpose, and really far ano ther. It was therefore the duty of Magistrate, having ju risdiction, to suppress it. He believed this petition had been got up for the purpose cf dissolving those bonds by which society in Ireland was bald together.—Hear, hear.) The petition prayed an investigation into the circum stance of the disperson of the meeting. Three persons had been apprehended and on their trials, at the approaching assizes, the matter would undergo legal investigation. It had assembled, not• to petition but to agitate, to enter into a combination against the payment of tithes, and to pronounce a sentence of civil excommu nication against those who refused to become parties to their nefarious scheme. The law of the land, he was of opinion, was sufficient for the Government, but it was ne cessary to be enforced. By whom, however, was it to be administered, if not by the Magistrates, who were responsible for their conduct ?---(Hear, hear.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite might, if he pleased, move in the Court of King's Bench for an information against the Magistrates.—(Hear, from Mr. O'C.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman said " Hear ;" he knew that he entertained an opininion that the Law Courts in In Ireland did not duly administer jus tice—(Hear, from Mr. O'Connell)—and that they were not to be trusted. It was a gross libel, and al though their characters were traduced, and their actions vilified, never were there abler, more honest, and more humane men, than the Judges of Ireland. Sir ROBERT PEEL rose to correct a mistatement made by the Honourable Member for Lowth. He had not stated, on the occasion alluded to, that any new powers ought to be granted to Government—for in fact, he had great confidence in the energy of the ordinary law, if yroperly enforced, and until every other measure was exhausted, no extraordinary powers should be resorted to. Colonel PFRCEVAL bore testimony to the impartial character of the Judges and Juries of Ireland.—.(Hear.) He recollected the Hon.:and Learned Member for Kerry, stating that the Protestants of Ireland, generally, in this outcry against tithe.—(No, from Mr. O'Connell.) lie eettainly had so understood she Honourable and Learned Gentleman. He (Colnel Percival denied thltt assertion. The Protestants as a body, although there ..flight he some few exceptions owing to intimidation, or expectations being held out to them) loathed and detestel this a;rocious combination against the payment of tithe. He might agree with some persona that what called a Reform, might be introducee in the disposition of church property—(Hear)—but he would never agree to separate the property from the church. The bishops might cause a f a ir er di v i s io n of the property, and appro priate it more equally; but the clergy received their tithe by the same right as the landlords received their rents. He looked on this attack on the tithes only as pleliminary to an attack on the rents, and he knew that many of thos e w h o w i s h e d t o d es t ro y the tithes looked forward with confidence to a reduction of rents. It was, therefore, extremely satisfactory to him to see the Government come forward with their tithe and other measures, with a view of suppressing that com bination. A great part of Ireland was now in a state even worse than rebellion. He stated as a fact, that on the Gth of this moth, at a meeting upon tithes at Balliman, the Roman Catholic Priests brought up their flacks with banners bearing inscriptions disrespectful towards the the Clergy. Roman Catholic Priests in numbers appeared on the platform, and went the length of stating, that they would form themselves into a Union to overawe the Assistant Barristers in the execu it ni of their duty. Indeed the state of the country was such that an open rebellion would be a bless ing in comparison with it—(Hear)—for thee Government would be obliged to use prompt and decisive measures fur its suppression. He denied that the Protestants of Ireland as a body at all participated in the proceedings against tithes. He was aware that in the conspiracy to suppress the tithes a number of farmers were compelled to come forward and attend the meeting, who detested and loathe I conspiracy. RUTHVEN asked is the peop e had a right to meet and petition for Reform, why they were not allowed to meet peaceably to petition against tithes. He believed the orders to disperse the meeting to have been illegal and unconstitutional. It was owing to the go .d sense of the people in dispersing quietly that no mischief arose, and no blood was spilt. He hoped Government would not act that part which was BO much desired by those who wished to see Ireland in open rebellion.—The petition was then broughtlup. A mesage from the Lords brought down the Anatomy Bill, with amendments, to which they desired the concuro rence of the House. Lord KILLEEN rose to move that the petition liP on the table, and was left speaking. HOUSE OF LORDS. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS, Several Private Bills were brought up front the Com mons, and read a first time. LONDON POLICE BILL. The City of London Police Regulation Bill was read a second time, and committed for Monday ri..At. On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND the Re. medy against the Hundred Bill was read a third time and passed. REFORM OF PARLIAMENT (IRELAND) BILL.I The Duke of CUMBERLAND asked whether the Noble Earl would not postpone the second reading of the Irish Reform sill beyond Monday next, urging the ab sence of Ir;sh Peers, and their expectation that the Bill would not so soon have come into their Lordships' House. Earl GREY begged to decline, as he had last night, complying with the Noble Duke's request. The printed copies of the Bill would be on the tai de this evening, or to-morrow morning at farthest. The Earl of LIMERICK urged the postponement of the second reading on the same grounds as the Noble Duke. Lord GOSFORD said he was convinced that the delay of a fortnight or three weeks would not bring an increase of Irish Peers to town. The Duke of WELLINGTON thought the second reading ought to be postponed. Earl GREY could not help thinking that any postpone. ment of the second reading would only lead to unnecessary delay, which it was most important at the present time should not take place. If the second readiug pissed on ➢londay next, he hoped it would not be considered as hurrying the Bill too much, if the Committee were fixed for Thursday next. As they must all be familiar with the Bill, he did not think any Noble Lord would have to corn plair of haste. Lord WYNFORD said, that although the Bill had, upon their table, as it had not been printed, they had had no opportunity of considering it. Earl GREY—The Commons have printed it. Lord WYNFORD said, he had enough to read their Lordships papers. He should under all the circum stances think himself justified in moving that the second reading of the Irish Reform Bill be taken on Thursday next. The question having been put, Earl CBEY muved as an amendmant that the Bill be read a second time on. Monday.

" Speak they who best can tell." SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday se'nnight, while the carriage of T. W. GIrYARD, Esq., was left during the races, in the inn-yard at Ludlow, a fowl, which seemed to have an aristocratic taste for a roosting place, perched upon the drag-chain under the vehicle. In the evening, after the races were over, the carriage was ordered out and drove off with the feathered sleeper, qu;te undisturbed, for Chillington. About nine miles cut of Ludlow, the servant wanting the drag chain, discovered the uninvited traveller, snoozing quite comt;,rtably, to tL a no small amusement of the party , — irolrerharny i on Chronicle.
