After a fete words from Mr. LE FRO Y, Lord J. RUSSELL thought the proper course would I be to have a separate Bill for defining the franchise aed the constitution of the Court of Appeal. That appeared ' to him the most advisable course, and therefore he should not vote in favour of the Hon. Member's amendment. — (Tore cheers.) He trusted, however, that in Committee the declaration of the Noble Lord with respect to the defi nition of the franchise would not be persevered in. He agreed with the Hon. Member for Monaghan that they should endeavour to obtain some more satisfactory test of the franchise, and thereby get rid of the contradictory evi . dence which the pr cent system created.—( Hear.) Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but no divi sion took place ; and on our return to the Gallery we found :tip D. NO RRE Y S on his legs, stating, that in accord ance with the suggestions that had been made, he would withdraw his amendment. The amendment was then negatived, and on the question that the Speeker do leave the chair, Mr. WARBURTON rose to move an instruction to the Committee, of which he had given notice, for defining the quad cation of electors for countie, , in Ireland. Sir JAMES GRAHAM submitted that it was net com petent ro the Hon. Member to move an instruction to the Committee on the question that the Speaker do leave the chair. Mr. O'C 0 NN E L L said the question had not been put. Loud cries of •• Yes.") If Hon. Members persevered in taut. lie should mova that the House do now adjourn.— Laod eiteere ;Arid :ouch uproar.) Lord RUSSELL said that the general practice was ;lust a motion for instructions to a Committee should not be given after the motion was put that the Chairman sheuld leave the Chair. Ile thought, however, that the Hon. Member rnigh o without any inconvenience, be al .tenei to move Lie :instructions in the present instance. Mr. O'CO NELL al-prated to the Chair on the sub- jeer. The 1, cts of the cave were these ;-0.1 the motion .hat the Speaker should leave the Chair, the lion. Mem- I bet for Mallow moved that an instruction should be given to the Commits , e. The Hon. Member bad, however, efeemvards withdrawn his motion. He (Mr. O'Connell) submitted that the motiou of the HOll. Member fur bJai having been withdrawn, it was competent to any other Member e, put a ,imilar one. The SPEAKER said that the ordinary time for moving inetreetioe to a Committee -.v:25 on the motion that the Oder dthe Day ,would be read. The Hon. Member for :Hallow hed inured an instruction to the Committee which let had at terwards withdrawn with the consent of the House. The mitt question was then put that he (the Speaker) slimed leave the Chair; and that question having been " put, it was not susceptible of' amendment. Me. WARBLTRTON said that he would not then op e the motion that the House should go into Committee. But when the House had gone into Con.mittce, he should niece that it should resume for the purpose of enabling him to move an instruction. Ti.e SPEAKER then left the Chair, amidst the cheers of this Opposition beueliee ; and the House resolved itself into a rommittee, Me. FRESIIFIELD in the Chair, On the :notion being put that the Bill should be read a ties , . time, Mr. W ARBURT ON moved that the Chairman should report prog -cgs, and ask leave to sit again, in order that he might move an instruction to the Committee. Mr. LITTON opposed the amendment. Sir C. G REY, who, on rising, was received with groans from the Opposition benches, said that it would be unjust to the Committee to deprive it of the power of de claring the law respecting the qualifica . don of electors in Ireland. He would, therefore, support the amendment of the Hon. Member fur Brideort. Me. O'CONNELL complained of the advantages which the Right Hon. Baronet Sir James Graham) had token of the strict rules of the House. The Right Hon. Baronet, however, had set him an example which he (Mr. O'Connell) felt it his duty to follow. He would give every opposition in his power to the Bill of the Noble .Lord. The reason which had induced him to consent to Ate withdrawal of the motion of the Hon. Member for .llsilow seas that he imagined the other motion might be brought under the consideration of the House. He found that tire Speaker had decided against him, but be now pressed on the Committee the necessity of allowing the important question of the qualification to be decided, which could not be done without an instruction to the Committee. The present state of the law as regarded the qualification was a most anomalous eine.. There was a difference of opinion on the subject aatnoeg the Judges, which it would be advisable to pot an eld to. He wanted to bring the subject fairly before the Heeese.—( Hear, hear.) , He asked whether there ought not to' he an iustruction from the Committee before they proceeded further. He would therefore press it upon the Commit ee to report progress, and ask leave to sit again. Lord STANLEY said that the Reform Act in no re spt ct whate eer conferred a- qualification on any freeholder, which had noebeen possessed under the 9th of Geo. IV. —( Hear, hear. Mr. O'COININ'ELL (who rose amidst cries of " Di vide," " Oh, oh," end whistling) said he had no doubt whatever that the Hon. Member, from whom the indecent in terruptions came, knew nothing of the subject.—( Hear, hear, andlaughter. ) The Reform Act required the person regis tering to prove the qualification as set forth in that Act ; and nut according to the former Act. What he complained of was, that the Noble Lcrd, not being a lawyer, thought him self such, and it would not become him (Mr. O'Connell) to give the Noble Lord a lesson in modesty.--(Laughter.) Sir E. SUGDEN made some observations which were not heard in the gallery. Mr. O'CONNELL, in mere compassion —( A laugh)—would en eke an observation. The Learned Lawyer, who had just sat down, stated that the Noble Lord (Stanley) was quite right, and that he (Mr. O'Connell) was not wrong.— 4( Cheers.) Now, was such a state of thin gs t o remain ? (Cheeri>. ) He alled upon the House to decide the question either way—for nothing could be more miserable than to have the rights of a whole people uncertain.—(Hear, hear.) The great reproach of our law was its uncertainty ; and he asked the Committee to give the House an opportunity of snaking 'an instruction for the purpose of getting rid of the re proach in this ease at least.—( Hear, hear. ) Mr. H. GRATTAN said that when the Irish Reform Bill was before the House, he met the Noble Lord (Stanley) at the Irish Offiee by invitatioa. and there received an assur ance from the Noble Lord, that the words " beneficial interest," were intended by him to convey a meaning directly opposite to that interpretation which the Judges had niece put upon them, and which the present Bill of the Noble I Lord was intended to confirm.—(Hear, hear.) Sir W. SOMERVILLE had gives the greatest po,sible .attention to this question. He had taken every pains to ascertain what had been the intentions of the framers cf the Reform Act in the introduction of those words ; and he found that the Noble Lord himself had introduced them with a meaning altogether opposed to the interpretation put upon them by the Judges.—( Hear, hear.) The Hon. Baronet then 'quoted several passages from the speech of the Noble Lord, on the discussion of the Irish Reform Bill amidst considerable laughter. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON said that the decision referred to, as having hen given by the Lord Chief Justice of the Qu..en'.s Beach in Ireland, was misreported. lie hoped her 31ajosty's Government would act consistently, and oppose the motion of ,the Member fcr Bridperr. After a few words from Mr. O'CONNELL, Mr. WARBIJRTON replied. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Com mittee divided. The numbers were— For the motion segainet it Majority against Mr. Warburton's 'naction -93 Lace STANLEY said having negatived the proposition for reporting: J‘rogres3, it was cot his intention now (considering the hone ot ;lie night at which they had arrived) to object to a simile.- ,„„ti,,:t. After seven or eight n i g ht s ' di scuss i on , an d been able to advance a si ng l e c l ause , or a s i ng l e without having line, he trusted side Noble Lord would no t thi n k hi m di s . court cons if he, not t,-I.Ling to interfe re w ith th e i mportant bu siness that had been fixe,. Ito- to-morrow, fixed the Co mm itt ee ' hued take the sen se o f th e H ouse fur Monday next, a n d h e s :: on the morieu.—(Trerneneous o''ee r ing•) Lord .T. RUSSELL believed i t wenhi be necessary, when the Chairman repo t t e a peneress,thet he ehotild ask le ave t o s it again o n a p r e c i se d a y. If t h e N o bl e L ord eropesed Monday mat, he ( Lord J. Russell) should eel tainly move :is an amend ment ti at the Com m itt ee b e fi xe d for Wednesday —( jiecre. ) Ile Bill i:eing th e Bill o f a pr i vate i n di v id ua l , he saw no ,7 11- son why it should stand in the way of the Government busi. hess which tad been for a considerable time under the eon. sideration of Parliament. More than 300 Members hail en. ,yl3 tirely dis.:lpproved the principle of the Bill, and considered . the - whole measure as vicious and dangerous. After having waited several oiglits on mere party motions, if the Noble Lord now interfered with the t.usiness of the House by fixing the Com mitteefur Monday, he should certainly resist it.—( Cheers. ) Lord STANLEY said it was perfectly competent to the Noble Lord to take that course. It would be necessary for the HOUEe'ita resume in the first instance, and he would be ready to divide the House than night on the question.—( Cheers. ) Mr. O'CONNELL would then move, as soon as they had resumed, that the Howe do adjourn.—(Oh, and great uproar.) The Bill was a Bill to trample on the rights of the people of Tre.and.---( Laughter, uproar, and much confusion.) The Bill. he repeated, was a Bill to trample on the liberties of the people of Ireland.—(henewed uproar, hooting, and laughter.) It the uproar was ten times as beastly he would repeat it.— (Loud cheers, followed. by cries of " Chair," " Order," and great confusion.) Sir S. CANING appealed to the Chairman whether the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin should not be made to retract his expres,ions in the most positive manner.—(Great uproar, and cries of " No, no," " Chair," " Order," &c. ) Mr. O'CONN ELL said the word he had used was bellow bea i ng ( Cries of " Beastls.") W ere any bellowings other than stly.—(Loud cheers. No man would venture to deny that. What sounds were they? Certainly n o t h uman sounds. —( Renewed cries of " Order," " Chair," " " uproar.) Retract, and Mr. LA3IBTON begged to ask the Chairman with great respect, whether he had heard the extremely indecent inter ruptions svhich the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin had met with.—( Loud cheers.) In his opinion they were most disgraceful to any assembly of gentlemen. The House at this period presented a scene of the greatest confusion and excitement, the floor, from th e b ar h alf way up the Ifiuse, being covered with Members, most of th em waving their hats, and shouting with the greatest vehemence. Seve ral Members also rose in their places on both sides of the House, and gesticulated in the most violent manner; but, i n the confusion that prevailed, it was impossible to catch any ex pressions that were used. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Fresh&lo was satisfied the Han. and Learned Member would retraoi•—(Loud cries of " No, no," and uproar). Mr. kIEUWORT" LAMBTON. .Sir, I beg to ask, with great resrce, if, when the Hon. and Learned Member who . was int errui t by the Honou ra ble Memb er opposite (Sir S. Cann , o a ,) f r using a vary strong ex t rotsi )ou hoard the extremely i n l ecer , t interruption that was offered to him.— Immen3e cheering.) He eedrecated the attempt that had been made to tyrannize over an individual Mcniber.—( Renewed cheering.). When the Chairman offered his opinion as pre siding over their councils, he ought to take that into hi 3 consi deration.—( Vu(ifernta cheering from the Ministerial benches, followed by cries of " Order," " Chair," from the other side of the House.) Sir B. HALL would not comment on the expression that had begn used by the Hon, and Learned Member for Dublin, but it was his intention to state the course lie should take in reverence to the notice that had been given with regard to the proceedings of the House.—(Loud cries of " Chair," and Question.") ') The CH A lAA AN said the question before the House was the expressions that had been used by the Hon. and Learned Member forublin.--(Hear, hear, and cries of "No, no.") Perhapg tKCornmittee would indulge him for a few moments. He had with very great diffidence taken upon hinaselt to decide the appeal that had been made to him, not being at all ac quainted with the interruptions which the Hon. and Learned EVENING EDITION. _ . Member had received--(Loud cries of " Oh, oh.") 'Neither IAT a numerous andieepe the Hon. and Learned ;Member, nor any person on that side of of Mr. AINSWORTH'S * SUPPORTt I, the IlouLe ha: l . nry-•,!^•' • ~_ .. • opinion upon the question ti,at had been put. to him. Mr. EWART rose to address the Corareittee, but was met with loud cries of " Order," " Chair," and a variety of noises of the most deafening description, which rendered it impossible to catch a single observation. Mr. FRESHFIELD begged to know if the Hon. Member spoke to order? Mr. EWART did speak to order. He understood the question to be between the Chairman and the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin.—(Cries of " No," and great uproar.) if by any singular good fortune the attention of the Chairman bad been called to the interruption which the Hon. and Learned Member had received before he made his observations, he weelid have cellcd to order those who inter rupted him, and not the Hun, and Learned Member.—(Cheers , followed by cries for Mr. O'Connell.) Mr. C. Beller, Lord Maidstone, Mr. O'Connell, end two other Hon. Members rose at the same time, all etieleaeoter ing to catch the attention of the Chairman amidst loud cries of " Order, Chair," and uproer. The other Hon..Mernbers having given way, Mr. - C. BULLER said he did not eeieh Nn tinue the present very distressing discussion. Such proceadin i es es 4;..d. lost ita's.en place must lower and degrade them in the eyes of the patelia...-Cries of " Oh, oh," and cheers.) Vet ho pest impress on the Chairman, and all tho se who presided ieeer these discussions, diet it was useless to put down those who, like the Hon, and Learne4 Member for Dublin, transgressed the limits of decorum by resenting insults, unless their atten tion to insults of the grossest nature-ekl e end and eellement cheering),.-.that he had ever sawn an assembly of gentlemen, or persons in the conelitien of gentlemen, pet up vtith. ;Renewed cheering.) He would toeetiele an in stance a the interreptious that had been lee:seed by the opposite side of the Hoee.^. during the whole evening. For the whole evening he had heee,el ,ei e eetebers.—(Loud cries of " Name, name.") kle did not think he ee4d name the Hon. Member, ,or the Noble hear.) [rip had heard different Members on his Ojr. Side of ; he House, and eiarti'cularly the Hun. and keezetail ;liember for Dublin, interrupted by whis tlin g an d singing., -,(Mee. i ebeer e ing. ) 4id"not wish to offer any personal ansplt t but he must say that thoee who first brought those mannee.; into the House disgraced thomeelves by introducing the manners of the ale-house into the House of Commune, and that the House must be very patient with these who resented thci n salts in a manner which he was sorry to say es, es too much c alled for, and too appropriate to the insulte.—(Cbeere.) Lord CLF,„I.IENTS said the lion, and Learned Member bre! complained :bit the Bill was calculated to take away the liberties of Ireland—lee eenfessed he thought so too. When the lion. and Learned Menefee mentioned that once, it was re ceived with an indecent shout which 47"i4 a disgrace to that pi„„„...._(R e ge, and cheers.) That was not ed ; for Mem bers who remained standing on the floor of the House le4lied outright at him, 34 within a yard or two of his face.— (Hear, hear.) The ttee,eerable and Learned Member, who exhibited the greatest tempee, repeated the expressions which were received with the same initebe. The third time the same insults were repeated, and it was only o w e i thet he made use of the expression complained of. He (Lord-Cle ments) felt like an Irishman et each conduct, and he always would feel indignant at it.—(Cries of ft ffl; ph," and cheers.) He did not care what assembly he was in, whether en assembly of gentlemen, or those who were not gentlemen ; I?qe he would not submit to have insults offered to a countryman of his when complaining that the liberties of his country were about to be taken away. He did not thiedt that any gentleman had a right to stand on the floor of the House, wifhin q. yard or two of any Hon. Member, and hoot and laugh in hid f4pg, le trusted the House would not disgrace itself by such conduct.— (Cries of " Oh," and loud cheers.) Lord MAIN) TONE said until the Hon. Member who had used the word " beastly" had retracted that expression he would not be satisfied. Mr. O'CONNELL was perfectly eontent with the Noble Lord's dissatisfaction. When a shout had been raised against him, the Chairman did not interfere to protect him.—( Hear, hear.) The interruption occurred a second and a third time, and still the Chairman did not interfere. He then vindicated himself as the Chairman had not done so. The Hon. Baronet (Sir Stratford Canning) hail also preserved the most exem plary patience as long as the shouts were directed against him, but the moment he repelled that shout in mo derate terms—(Cries of " Oh, oh")—the Honourable Baronet called hint to order. He would repeat that the Pill was in tended and calculated to take from the Irish people the advan tages of the Reform Bill, and the advantages of the Catholic Emancipation Act. The Noble Lord (Lord Stanley) has long been the enemy of Irelandeee( Cries of " Order " and " Chair.") Sir STRATFORD CANNING said that the Hop. and Learned Gentlemen in explaining the circumstances which had induced him to use a very unparliamentary expression, which bad fallen from him, had said what was certainly very unbe coming. ROIICItT iIEYI4OOI),.t.ICi.; iti tht Mr.O'CONNELL spoke to order. Were the expressions of the Noble Lord in order ?—( Uproar.) The Hon, 13i ronet had pointed his observations particularly at him.—(Cries of " Order, order," and " Chair.") The CHAIRMAN said that he hoped that Hon. Members would consider that sufficient explanation had been given on the subject,—(oh, oh.) Sir S. CANNING had understood the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin to say that the intentions and motives of the Noble Lord were to trample on the liberties of the j eorle of Ireland. He objected to such expressions ; but his only desire was to consult the honour of the House. Mr. O'CONNELL—There is nothing in what the Hon. Baronet has said—it is not worth attending to. The CHAIRMAN said that it certainly was not proper to impute motives to any Member of the House. Mr. O'CONNELL hoped that he might be allowed to proceed.—( Hear, hear, hear.) The objects of the Bill were tyrannical and despotic. He said that the Noble Lord had long been the enemy of Ireland, and hecould produce the authority of a Nobleman of the highest character in support of that as sertion. For his part he would take every means of opposing the further progress of the Bill. He would oppose any motion for giving priorty to it on Monday ; and if it WCI e pi oposed by the Noble Lord (.1. Russell) to give it priority on Wednesday no concession of the Noble Lord could influence other Members of the House. Sir H. H. INGLIS said that the expression " beastly" had been used, and he thought the House should not proceed with any other business till it was withdrawn. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he had been quite satisfied with the opinions given by the Chairman ; who stated the expression of the Hon. Member for Dublin, was disorderly, and who afterwards, on hearing the statement of various Members, said that he considered enough had been said in explanation. It was to be regretted that that was not the first time that Members had met with disorderly interrup tions while speaking. He did not think, after the tone of the discussion, that there could be any useful progress made in any respect during that evening. On Monday he would proceed, as Governments hitherto had done, with the Government busi ness, and he would oppose the Noble Lord if be proposed to in terfere with that arrangement. Sir B. HALL objected to repeated adjournments of the House. He would never suffer a factious opposition to any measure which might be brought forward by Hon. Members on the other side of the House. 1f the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin intended to propose an adjournment of the House, he would feel it his duty to vote against him. He hoped the Nob'e Lord (Lord J. Russell) would give priority to the Bill of the Noble Lord opposite, in order that it might be fairly dis cussed by the House. He thought that it would be unworthy of the independent Members of the House to offer a factious opposition to a full consideration of the measure. He hoped the Noble Lord would not bring forward his motion on a Go vernment night, but, on any other night, he would certainly feel it his duty to vote that it should have priority of any other motion.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL did not expect that the lion. Baronet would speak of his opposition as factious. There might be factious opposition, but there might also be factious acquies cenc.?. Sir B. HALL—If the Hon. and Learned Gentleman will speak in distinct and intelligible terms I shall be able to un derstand him. All I state is, that I will not be a party to a factious opposition, and if I End that adjournments are repeatedly moved and continued to be moved, 1 shall have no hesitation in stating, that whoever persists in doing so is pur suit-3g' a factious opposition.—(Loud cheers on the Opposition benches. ) Mr. O'CONNELL to:d the Hon. Member for Marylebene to listen to the cheers he had received.—( Hear, hear.) Ile believed he understood the Hon. Baronet. He would leave the Hon. Baronet to his own feelings. The question having been put and carried, The CHAI/nIAN reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past One. TING bid at It was resolved, with only three disieritierit; That Ainsworth's Letter of Exple.tiation is altogetlief respects his vote on Lord Stanley's ifisii Begistra• t , 3sir be . eause it contains no sufficient reason§ to Justify his unsatisfactory Bill, s lt. eisrt iiolAn l of the party who uniformly support Reforing.d e , rinejplga in the House of Commons; because the pFofesseStre 41 4 , 0 rid of " fraudulent and vicious" votes, cannot justify the Lion of a national wrong, such as would be done by this Dill, founded on the basis of disfranchiF.ement, and throwin7 cyery conceival4e ot;sti , :cf4 i,a ttie wty of 14 'o , 9q. the reeoe,ery and mainteparice of his electoral rights beeause a Bill filled with such rettrietive provHOnS lOW I'Vet)lved; as Mr. Ainsworth implies, SatiCi a ,On o, the Reformers—the design of the Bills of 1835, 1836, and 1838, brought in by the (ipxc i i , ui--,,- : nt-b , eiur r to expand, a n d no t to contract,V i - t R f4Ol - Tg franc‘4lSe 4.60. .11g1 --As ceneerns the Weaver Navigation Churches Bill, bear the redundant wealth of the Weaver Trust forms no justification for misappropriating public funds and committing an act of injustice under the plea of Religion i because the sue p',43 funds of that corporation ought either to be handed over to the 4(4ootion Rf the ccvnty rates, or to the repiwtipli at the dues chargeable on the naviitation ; because to apply those fuJ;ds to the building of churches is to public property for the benefit of 4. pry and because large meetings of the Mho, bitants of Cheshire," t ncluding the haTgevnen and boatmen on the river, have declared the measure to he unnecessary and unjust. itp3oive4,,,Ttlat this fies9lutiorl be r4lished the polto A papers, the )I4nAeqer quardian, the Leeds Mercury, and the London Sun.

ATIENIPT TO MURDEIt THE QUEEN AND PRINCE 4LBERT. PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT The House of Lords was last night crowded as much as ever we saw it, in expectation of some communication relative to the attempt made on her MAJESTY'S life. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of SUSSEX and CAMBRIDGE were present, as we ll as a cons id era bl e num b er o f illus trious strangers. Thei r L or d s hi ps were not di sappo i nte d , f or t h e hour of five had scarcely elapsed when Lord MEL- The motion was instantly agreed to, and a Conference requested with the Commons, to make it a joint Address. A Conk -fence was held, the Commons immediately agreed, and the joint Address was ordered to be presented. Subsequently the LORD STEWARD announced that her MAJESTY would receive the address at two o'clock, and it was arranged that the House should meet at half-past one o'clock, lo go up with the Address. Their Lordships seemed all deeply im pressed with the solemnity of their meeting. In the Commons, as soon as ever the hour of public business arrived, Lord STANLEY rose to move his Registration Bill, but said he understood Lord J. RUSSELL had something to submit to the House. Lord JOll N RUSSELL immediately stated that the Noble Lord had anticipated his intention ; but he understood that his Noble Friend in the other House would move an Address to her MAJESTY, and that it was thsirable to make it a joint Address. It would be more dignified, tlaeniore, and more becoming the oc,24sion, fort the Commons t 9 concur ip the Address of the Lords. Accord ingly messengers soon came down from the Lord; to request a Conference, which having taken place, and the managers on the part of the Commons having returned, the Address which had been agreed to in the Lords, was also adopted by the Commons, nernine contradicente, and it was settled that the Commons should be informed by the printed pa pers to he delivered to-day, at what hour they were to go up with the Address. At two o'clock, then, both Houses will go in solemn .state to present their Address of Congratulation to her Majesty, and no doubt all the Members of both Houses will make it their pride to attend. We think it only prudent to abstain from all re marks on the motives of the young assassin, while the evidence which has been collected from him and from others is unknown. This only will we say, that there is reason to suppose he is capable, from vast conceit, of forming such a plan himself, without political motives and without confederates. Charity bids us hope, though hitherto his friends have discovered no signs of insanity about him, that he is insane. EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONER. At two o'clock yesterday afternoon all the Cabinet Ministers attended at the Home-office, and a close and searching examination was made. Several witnesses were examined ; but what occurred in the Council was not allov►ed to transpire. We understand that the prisoner betrayed no signs of intimidation or confusion, and answered all the questions put to him off hand. THE RE SULT WAS THAT HE WAS ORDERED TO BE COMMITTED TO NEWGATE, TO TAKE HIS TRIAL FOR HIGH TREASON. We saw him on leaving the Council, and he ap peared moved, but not downcast. His sister, and his sister's husband, and his uncle, were waiting for him in the passage of the Home-office, and he embraced her very affectionately, and apparently with tears. We understand that his character has been hitherto irreproachable ; but that he is of a curious temper. His friends describe him as passionate, and trace that to his father, who was also very passionate. He is said to have more than a dash of black blood in his veins ; his father having been a Mulatto. He is tolerably well connected ; his uncle is a very respectable man, living in Gracechurch street. His mother has kept a shop since his fa ther's death, nine years ago, and lives de cently. She has one daughter, as well as this unhappy son, and the whole family live t,,ge ther. It is true that he was born in Birmingham, but he was removed from there before his father's death, upwards of ten years ago. The father, we understand, was a working jeweller, and the family, as far as we can learn, are distinguished for nothing but a little ill -temper. We marked his countenance well, which we should say is intelligent. His forehead is high and prominent, denoting, we think, considerable determination • and obstinacy. He is short and slight, so as to look even younger than he actually is. His appearance is that of a boy of fifteen years of age. TIIE BULLET FOUND. At about half-past five two poor boys, one of whom is named James Jennings, found one of the bullets fired at her Majesty. It was buried in the ground directly under the wall, which was marked by it. On finding it, the boy put it in his pocket, and was about to walk away with it, when he was stopped by Mr. Manning, of 15; great Portland -street, Cavendish square, who was standing near at the time, and brought to the Palace. The bullet is flattened on one of its sides, and is marked with red streaks, as though it had struck against a brick. It is in possession of the Inspector, at the Palace, who also took charge of the boys. BUCKINGHAM PALACE, HALF-PAST Her Majesty and Prince Albert have just left the palaoe in the pony phaeton and four for their evening drive. Her Majesty, we are rejoiced to state, appeared in excellent health and spirits. She was received by the immense crowd with the most enthusiastic cheering,which she repeatedly acknow ledged by bowing graciously. His Royal Highness Prince Albert also acknowledged the greetings of the multitude. The cheering was continued all the way up Constitution Hill. Hundreds of gentlemen on horseback lined the road or accompanied her Majesty to Hyde Park corner, Never perhaps was there exhibited such a generous bu rs t o f pu bli c f ee li ng in, favour of a Sovereign. The scene altogether was honou r able to Englishm en , an d h onoura bl e to our beloved Queen. She was overcome almost to tears by the boisterou s d emonstrat i on o f a ff e ction, and endea voured by every poss ibl e mean s to check the emotion wi t h which she struggled. An eye witness inf orme d us t h at s he bit her , and used e very exertion to conceal any symp tom of f ema l e weakness. Th e line of car riages of p ersons calling make inquiries, at Buckingham Palace , to down the —all, and is increasing in len g th every minute. , extends a considerab le w ay vr It resembles the line at the Opera House on a crowded night.

Sergeant Ottvay, of the A division of Police, was despatched early yesterday morning to Birmingham, where he bad an interview with the prisoner's mother, and also with his uncle, whose namc is Banfield, and who resides in that town. Sergeant Otway arrived in London on his return about seven o'clock last evening. Mrs. Oxford left Birmingha m by the five o'clock train fir London. She was staying at the house of a friend, wha keeps a beer-shop. She was not aware of what had occurred until she was informed of it by Sergeant Otway, and she seemed much affected by the intelli gence. She states that shortly before she left London, which was about three weeks since, her son brought a brae° of pistols home, which he stated belonged to a companion ; and that subsequently he was frequently, as she states, " messing about with gunpowder;" on which she remonstrated with him on the folly of spending his money in such a way. She was not at all aware that he had procured the pistols with any improper inten tion, ner does she know of his being the member of any secret soci,ty, or of his having been associated with any persons of desperate character. She says he was al ways a quiet good boy, of steady, sober habits, and of mild disposition. His sister, Mrs. Philps, and her husband, were examined this afternoon, before the Privy Council ; but we understand they were asked but few questions, and that their evidence was unim portant. Several persons, with whom the prisoner had lived as servant, were also in attendance to speak to his character and previous habits of life, but their tes timony was not required. A considerable number of petitions, after the Address had been adopted, were presented on the subject of the Corn-laws, in the Lords last night. Earl FITZWILLIA2I then rose to: submit his motion to their Lordships, to take the present Corn-laws into their consideration. It was expected the Noble Earl would have postponed his motion, but the Pears came ' down ready to hear it, and, perhaps, ready to crush the public Napes, and, therefore, though the Marquis of LONDONDERRY expressed a wish to have the motion postponed, it was in compliance with the general wish of the House that the Noble Earl continued. He entered very fully and very ably into the question, and was fol• lowed by Lord WESTERN, who opposed the motion. A long debate ensued, about which, at this hour, neither time nor space will allow us to say one word further than this, that from the tone of several speeches we are of opinion that the Lords are frightened, though they seek to conceal their fears. The debate ended by the motion being lost by 194 to 43 In the Commons, Sir J. WALsu took his seat. After the Address had been agreed to, Lord STANLEY moved the Order of the Day for the House: to go into a Committee on the Irish Registra tion Bill. Mr. CHARLES WOOD rose to move as an amendment that the English Registration Bill be proceeded with. The object of this amendment we understood to be to complete and perfect the English registration first, and then apply that to Ireland, and so avoid the party con tentions which are involved in the rival Irish Registra tion Bilis. A somewhat angry debate ensued, and Mr. WOOD'S motion, though supported by Lord HowicK and Sir C. LEMON. and other vacillators, was lost by 11 in a House of 401 Members. Sir JOHN D. NOXIREYS next moved an instruct tion to the Committee, and on this and other amendments, the House debated and squabbled the whole evening, and divided several times. Greater confusion, disorder, and uproar prevailed towards the end than perhaps ever was witnessed in that House, which is saying a great deal. Finally the Bill got into Committee, and then there was a division on reporting progress. There was then a squabble as to what day the Committee should sit again, and the House ad journed. DEATH OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA. The Moniteur Parisien of Wednesday night offici ally announces the death of the King of PRUSSIA. The following is a copy of the telegraphic despatch : " The King of Prussia, FREDERICK WILLIAM 111 , died on the 7th, at three o'clock in the afternoon. " The Emperor of RussrA arrived at Berlin two hours before the death of this Monarch." The death of the King of PRUSSIA is likely to be followed by consequences important to Europe. The new Sovereign is known to have long disapproved of the policy of his Royal Father, and to have occasioned great uneasiness to his Imperial brother-in-law, the Emperor of RUSSIA, by his apparent leaning towyrds the principles ofa Representative Government. By the great body oft he Catholics it was supposed that he did not sanc tion the conduct pursued towards their Bishops on the question of mixed marriages ; and even the Poles were encouraged to hope for some mitigation of the persecu tion to which they were subjected by the three portion- Powers on his accession. The late KING Wl s niece soldier—a Royid dri:l-sergeant, whose schemes of reform were all directed to the making- his sub s ieot a Inss chin,.3 to he moved like puppets at the Royal pleasure. The present SOVEREIGN, on the contrary, is a man of high mental and intellectual acquirements and attain ments for his rank, and his advanced age (lie is now in his forty-fifth year) is likely to keep him out of the clutches of flatterers and parasites. Since the above was written, we have received Ham. burgh Papers of the 9th inst., with a more particular account of the Death of the King of PRUSSIA, and the accession of the Crown Prince by the title of FREDE RICK WILLIAM IV. The following are extracts from the Hainhurgh Papers : HAMBURGH. TUESDAY EVENING, NINE o'CLcCK. DEATH OF TEIE KING OF PRUSSIA. BERLIN, JUNE 7.—The King died this afternoon at half past three o'cloek,:io the 70th year of his age. This morning the Emperor of Russia arrived from Warsaw, and pro ceeded immediately to the death-bed of his father-in -taw, whom he found in full possession of his mental faculties, and who took !cave of him, pressing his hand. This evening at seven o'clock the troops of the garrison took the oath of allegiance to the Crown Prince, his Ma.. jetty Frederick William IV. An Extraordinary Supplement to fhe State Gazette of to-day contains the following paragraph : " By the inscrutable decree of God our beloved King, his Majesty Frederick William 111., the father of his people, terminated his mort a l career th i s afternoon at half past three o'clock. " The effects of a'repeated attack of influenza, under which his Majesty has been sufferins, for som a ti me, produced lat terly a great prost rat i on of thought, ' and in consequence a state which, in defiance of all the efforts of nature, and the skill of experienced physicians, put an end to the valuable, highly blessed, but also severely tried, life of his Majesty, amidst the tears of all his children assembled around him at this moment, and cf the other Princes and Princesses of the royal family, "illis Majesty's latter days were cheered by the presence of the Empress, his daughter, and her children, and at the last moment by that of the Emperor, his son-in.law. " The country, though in mourning and tears. raises its eyes to his Majesty's august successor on the Throne of his:glorious predecessor, full of hope and confidence. The heir of renowned ancestors, educated in the storms of an rigitated period, early initiated i n t o t h e d ut i es o f hi s hi gh distinction, an d called by his father in the days of his sick ness to direct the affairs of Government, his Majesty will diffuce the blessings of order and peace, which are the lot of a faithful and happy people, and the recompence of the anxious efforts of a good and true Sovereign." Frederick William 111, was born on the 3(.1 of August, 1770, atic, had therefore not completed the 70th year of his life, when he was gatheicd to his fathers, lie suc ceeded his father King Fredct ink William If. on the 16th of November, 1797, and has left four sons, the present King (born 15th Nov., 1795), Prince Frederick Willi am Lewis (b orn 221 March, 1797), Frederick Charles Alexander (born 20th June, ), and Frederick Henry Albert (born 4th Oct., 1809), and three daughters, th e Empress of Russia (born 13th July, 1798), the Grand Duchess of Meckl b rg en e j ave i u (born 211 July, 1 803), and Princess Louisa (born Ist Feb., 1803), mantled to Prince Frederick of the Netherlands.—Hamburg Borsen. holle, Juno Countess of (irnnston, the Duchess of Beaufort, Lor( For , s!er, ?!1(J Lnd, (Fliosf OUR OWN REPORTER.) Edward Oxford is the son of a jeweller ; his father has been dead about eight years, and his mother sub sequontly kept a coffee -shop, in the Waterioo-road o opposite the York Hotel, which she left about three years since. Oxford has received a very decent educe tkin, and has up to the time of this occurrence borne the character of a respectable, sober, honest, decent lad. He has never at any time exhibited the least traces of insanity, but on Monday evening those who had known him before thought he appeared more thoughtful and reserved than usual. When his mother left the coffee-shop in the Waterloo -road, he went to reside with his aunt, who keep a tavern at Hounslow, in the capacity of pot-bay. H e has, subsequently, lived as barman at two diLrent public houses in London, and his em ployers all give bins an excellent character. His mother is at present at Birmingham, of which place the prisoner is a native. She left London about three weeks since. The prisoner has latterly been out of place, and has been by no means well provided with mot.. - 4. It is therefore exceedingly improbable that he purchased the pistols from his own resources. It seems to be the opinion of all those who are acquainted with Oxfcrd that he is a mere tool in the hands of some designing villain. He is a member of the Church of England, but has never exhibited any symptoms of religious enthusiasm. The Paris Journals of Wednesday have al been duly received. In the .3//oniteur of that date we find following telegraphic news from Africa : " TOULON, JUNE 9. " THE MARITIME PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF MARINE. " Marshal Vallee quitted Algiers on the 2d to com mence the campaign. The weather appears to favour the expedition. The environs of Algiers had not been dis turbed for several weeks; the Arabs attending, no doubt, tc their harvest. Excursions at the opportune period in the eastern provinces have restored tranquillity, which was threatened for a moment. " The expedition to the plains of the Mejana is finished. General Galbois will return on the 12th to Constantine, and Colonel Lafontaine on the 15th to Phi lippeville." - There is nothing in this news to call forth a single remark, except that Marshal VALLEE is resolved to allow the Government no time to recal him. About 800 of the National Guards dined together on Tuesday, to celebrate the progress of Electoral Re form. MM. LAFITTE, ARAGO, ODILLON BARROT, and many Liberal Members of the Chamber, were prevent, Several speeches were delivered, and, after a collection for the political offenders still incarcerated, the party quietly broke up. It was reported that the Government was about to send 10,000 (rest troops to Africa. In the Pliare de Bayonne we find the following in telligence from Spain : " The report of the burning of the village of Navas de Roa, by Balmaseda is not confirmed. We have just learned that Espartero, on a communication from Briga dirr Concha that Balmaseda, with 1,400 infantry, and 600 cavalry, had made a move towards the Sierra de So ria and Castille, set out with his staff on the 3d instant for Logrono. The rebels, in fact, arrived on the 30th ult. at Alienza, and Balmaseda on the 2d instant entered Sales del Infante with 1,900 men, leaving the rest of his forces at Aranda and Roa. A:convoy which left Burgos with a slight escort, to carry to Madrid some papers which had belonged to the army of Don Carlos, had been seized by the rebels, who burned the waggons and the papers they contained. Balmaseda der astates the country through which I]. -, passes. General Piquero arrived at Miranda on the 4th, wish two battalions, a squadron of horse, and two mountain guns." A letter from Constantinople of the 20th ult , states that the Ex-Seraskier, HALIL PACIIA, brother-in-law of the SULTAN, has divorced his wife, and that he has united with the Sultana-Mother in favour of a compro mise with MEHEMET ALI. We doubt the first part of this intelligence. If we remember rightly there is an express law against the divorce of Princesses of the blood of OSMAN. The daughters and sisters of the reigning Padishah are more likely to divorce their hus bands than be divorced by them. The Gazette du Midi has the following intelligence : " To the news transmitted by our Consul at Alexandria, we are able to add the following, just announced by Capt. Estellon, commanding the ship Laming, to Messrs. Au gustine Fabre and Son, her owners, in a letter dated from the island of Palo Penang, the 7th of March last : " The Lancier brig having learned by a letter from M. Darlue, commandin g the Comte de Paris., of Marseilles, that his First Lieutenant bad been assassinated at Sinag- Ilan, in the island of Sumatra, had just taken signal ven geance for this crime. This expedition cost the lives of three of the brig's crew, one of whom was an officer. " ' The Lawler came to Penang on the 26th February for provisions. She bad also lost three men by dysentery.'" It was reported ht Malt-, on the Ist of June, that the differences with Naples were settled, and that Admiral Stopford would return in a few days to Malta. We, for our own part, never doubted that the affair would be ar ranged ; but how will it be arranged ? French inv3r • eats are concerned ; how «ill they be regulated? Engla n d required advantages for its trade ; how far will it be able to obtain them without detriment to ours ?----Le Commerce. WEDNESDAY, JUNE !O. first Highest Lowest Last Price Price.

The names of the Peers in attendance were then called over according to their rank, the last created being called first, and in this order they joined the procession of the House of Commons, and pro ceeded to the Palace. The House adjourned to Five o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House of Commons met to-day at Half-past One o'clock, to proceed with the House of Lords to present the Address of both Houses to her Ma jesty. The greater part of the Members were in full Court costumes, or Military uniforms. Among the earliest arrivals after the House was opened we noticed Sir H. Hardinge, Mr. Gisborne, and Mr. Macaulay. Among the other Members present we noticed Sir R. Peel, Mr. W. Evans, Sir Thomas Cochrane, Mr. Hodges, Mr. Wilbraham, Mr. E. Tennent, Mr. Pendarves, Mr. Greene, Sir R. Price, Mr. G. Palmer, Mr. R.
