In Manilla and Siam little passing, but prices are firm. FOREIGN. —Brazil has been sought after, but the few parcels offering have prevented operations of moment by private contract ; while sorts little inquired for, but prices remain firm.

COFFEE. —Of west India the grocers have bought very cautiously b: private contract, but more particularly of the lower qualities, the small quantity here unsold prevents any material decline in prices : there has again been no arrival. There has been little inclination shown to purchase East India and other kinds; the arrivals have been large, but prices have not given way : Mocha commands high rates, and the trade appear to be in want of this kind, particularly good yellow sorts. The operations in Ceylon have been confined to small parcels. The trifling business done in Java has been at previous rates. Braz 1 from the Cape of low quality is offered much under late rates. This afternoon the home trade were more desirous to purchase Coffee.

(FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OP THIS HAY.) (From the Globe.) The debate in the House of Commons last night, on the cccasion of papers being laid on its table relating to the state of Canada, was the occasipn of fully vindicating the wisdom and energy, the firmness blended with modera tion, by which Governor Thomson's administration of Canada has been distinguished. The foundation of future prosperity has been laid, and the occasions of jealousy to which distinct legislatures have given rise have been re moved. A union has been effected, with the consent of both provinces. This was a consummation devoutly to be wished by all acquainted with the antagonist interests from which the colony bad so long suffered, and which this salutary measure will go far to correct, and eventually to extinguish. (From the Cour. ier.) Year after year the Royal Speech has opened the Par. liamentary Session with the strongest recommendations of measures, the delay of which, it was said, would be fatal to the best interests of the empire, and the end of the session has witnessed the cool postponement of the ma jor part to the next, while the rest have either been rejected, as incompatible with sound legislation, or have never been introduced by the Ministers who constructed the Address from ihe Throne. With respect to the Corporation Bill, it bas been a mere trick from be. ginning to end, and has enabled the Ministers to dawdle on the time in discussions of which the termination was perceived, on a measure which, in the form it has annually re-appeared, was certain to be rejected. Perhaps the term rejection may not be strictly applicable, but the Bill has been sent up to the Lords with clauses which they must ne cessarily strike out, and which were inserted for the ex press purpose of obtaining an excuse for withdrawing it on its return to the Commons. (From the Standard.) In reply to a question from Lo-d Ashburton last evening in the House of Lords, Lord Melbourne was pleased to declare, that he continued to consider that it would be un wise, and in the highest degree imprudent, totally to repeal the Corn-laws, and that the Government had accord ingly no intention to " bring forward or support any motion for their repeal, or any change or any altera tion of those laws." We look upon this disclaimer to be about as honest as that which was put forth in the same quarter a short time before the Government per mitted the ballot to be made an open question. They will no doubt adopt the same course in regard to the Corn laws so soon as they shall have achieved enough of " pres sure from without " to afford them an excuse. " Open questions " are the shabby means by which they attempt to shift responsibility from their own shoulders, and pri vately encourage demands which outwardly they profess to discourage. THE MURDER AT ISLINGTON. HATTON-GARDEN.-(THIS DA Y.} DISCHARGE OFJARVIS-REMAND OF GOULD AND MRS. JARVIS. The re-examination of Arthur Nicholson, alias Richard Gould, John Jarvis, and Mary Ann Jarvis, on suspicion of having been concerned in the murder of Mr. John Tem pleman, at Pocock's 'fields, was to-day resumed at half-past two o'clock. In the early part of the morning Mr. Combe, the Magistrate, received a summons to attend at the Home. office, consequent, it was reported, upon his refusal to suffer the prisoners to attend the Coroner's inquisition. John Allen, the person with whom the prisoner lodged, produced a large and thick piece of wood, which he used in his business as a seam-set. He missed the fellow piece to it two days after the death of Mr. Templernan. It was about sixteen inches long, had sharp edges, was of considerable thickness, and if used properly, would knock down a horse. It was kept on a ledge in a cupboard which was not locked. He bad seen a splinter of wood covered with blood at the office, and was induced to think it might have formed part of the seam-set in his house, and was induced to examine the cupboard, when he missed it. Has never found the missing knife, which he used as a cheese-knife. James Rogers—lives in Dorset -street, Spitalfields. He knows Gould by the name of Arthur Nicholson; has known him for six years. Before he was a soldier, about two years ago, he knew him by the name of Richard. He enlisted, in the name of Arthur Nicholson, in the 11th Light Dragoons. He saw him last on Friday week, about a quarter to eight at night. He saw him at the door,of his house ;he was alone. He said Jem, you're just the man I wanted to see." Witness asked what he wanted, and he said he wanted two screws and a darkey, meaning a dark lar,thorn, and by screws he meant skeleton keys. Witness told him he might as well ask him for 5001. as for such things as them. Witness said he was sorry to see him as he was, and if he had any money he would stand some beer. Gould said he had no money, so he could not stand any, and witness's brother-in-law, who was with him, paid for a pot of beer for the three. His brother-in-law left him and the prisoner at the public house; witness then took leave of the prisoner, and has not seen him since. Prisoner said he was out of work. Witness is by trade an umbrella-maker ; has no knowledge of iron -work, except by jobbing in cleaning locks, and work of that description. He at pre sent works by the water aide as a porter. Supposes that as he kept an iron shop the prisoner might have imagined he had screws in his house. Thomas Camps*, a pawnbroker at Holloway, produced a shovel pledged on the 16th of March by a female,: he b,.- lieved it was the prisoner Jarvis, but cannot say for a cer tainty ; she bad fr..quently pledged articles with witness. J. Stewart Wehis, a pawnbroker, produced a pocket handkerchief pawnod on the 17th instant by the female pri- sorter Jarvis. William Kelland—Lives .in' Gloster -street, Horton; is foreman to Mr. Jay, a builder, of London-wall ; knows the prisoner Jarvis well ; he was in his master's service on the 16th and 17th instant; he has been in his service since the 2.8:h of February as painter; his last job was in the houses attached to the Eagle in the City-road. Witness recollects Monday, 16th. Jarvis was regular at his work all that day, from six in the morning until half. past five in the evening ; and the next morning he came at six o'clock. He went to his breakfast at eight, and re turned at half-past eight, and continued until twelve. He was then absent for one hour, when he returned and re mained at work until half-post five, and then quitted. Saw no one coming backward and forward to him on that day. Has known Jarvis eight years, and he always conducted himself well. Daniel Butler is a painter. Recollects the 16th and 17th well. Was at work at the Eagle, when Jarvis ar rived on the 17th. Found Jarvis there. They breakfasted together at a public-house, and dined together at the same house. He was with him until half-past five. Jar vis was not absent at all. Did not seo his wife or the other prisoner come to him. Mr. COMBE laid, that after this full explanation of the circumstances connected with Jarvis, he should discharge him. He had better go out at once. He supposed he would go to work to the same master. Jarvis--I hope so, Sir. Mr. Kelland—l am willing to receive him. A person in the Court said he would give Jarvis work, if he wanted it.—( A platue. ) Jarvis, who seemed to be labouring under considerable emotion, applied to have his child given up to him. Mrs. Jarvis (in a very bold manner)—lt is my child, and I will not give it up. Jarvis—lt is two years old, Sir, and will be much better taken care of by me. Mr. COMBE—That is a matter for the consideration of the Visiting Magistrates. I cannot interfere between you and your wife, but I suppose the Magistrates will not suffer a child of that age to remain in prison. Jarvis, you will piece yourself in communication with Mr. Inspector Miller, so as to be forthcoming if wanted. Jarvis then bowed to the Court, and withdrew, Mrs. Jarvis retaining possession of the child. The drawer which was broken open was then produced, end it had evidently been forced open with some sort of lever. There were various marks on it as if a chisel had been used on it. The prisoner Gould said he could give a full explana tion of all the evidence, but what he had to say he would say at his trial ; ho would say nothing until he had pro fessional advice. The female prisoner said nothing. The prisoners Gould and Mary Ann Jarvis were then remanded till one o'clock to.morrow. The precincts of the Court were crowded during the whole of the day with persons anxious to bear the proceedings, or to get a glimpse of the prisoners. There was considerable difficulty in gaining ad mission to the Court, which was held in the room up stairs. Ev ry facility was, however, afforded to us by Mr. Maule, the Magistrates' Clerk, and by the Officers of the Court, to whew we beg to express our obligation. Seve ral County Magistrates, among whom we recognized Lord Kensington, were present during the whole of the pro ceedings. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) CROWN-OFFICE, MA !Lc"( 23.

Lord PRUDHOE presented a petition from Staveett n in the county of Gloucester, and one from the county o York, praying for the retied of the Corn-laws. COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH AUSTRIA. The Earl of ABDRDEEN said he wished to ask the Noble Viscount respecting the operation of a treaty concluded with Austria the year before last. The House would not forget the congratulations wtth which it was favoured on the conclusion of the treaty, which was, however, in fact, no new treaty at all, but only a renewal of the treaty he bad himself signed, in conjunction with his Noble Friend the then President of the Board of Trade, ten years previously. He admitted that in the new treaty the principles of reci procity was in some respects beneficially extended. By the 4th article of the treaty, it was stipulated that all Austrian ships coming into English ports, from Turk ish ports of the Danube, should be received as it coming from Austrian ports; and, in return, it was stipulated that British ships going to those ports of the Danube should be received as if Austrian ships. Now, it appears to him a most strange mode of proceeding that two powers should stipulate as to how their respective vessels should be received in the ports of a third power, without communicating with or the consent of that State. He stated that last year, and all that the Noble President of the Council answered was, that the negotiation was in progress between the Turkish Government and this country, by which any inconvenience of that kind would be ooviated, but tie feared that none such had taken place, tor if he were rightly informed,, matters remained in such a state as had led to our manifest violation of the Treaty and the infraction of our -own law, for in the month of September last an Austrian vessel arrived in the port of Gloucester, from a Turkish port of the Danube, which was seized by the Custom House, in violation of the navigation law, and after long correspondence on the part of those concerned, the Treasury released the vessel, but imposed a mitigated fine. Tnis was the position in which the treaty stood at the present moment, and he was in. formed that several vessels laden with corn were now in the ports of the Danube, unable to sell, not knowing how they were to be dealt with under the navigation law. Now, he would ask, for what purpose did we enter into engagements we were unable or unwilling to fulfil ? It ap peered to him quite unaccountable how the Noble Lord could have entered into such an eng agement, but, having done so, he was b oun d , at l east, to fulfil his own part of it. and obtain the means of executing those engagements the Queen had ratified. Having stated these facts, he wished to ask the Noble Viscount whether they were correct, and whether it was the intention to take measures to rescue the honour and good fa;th of the country from the imputation of ibeing unfaithful to the engagements into which it had entered? Lord MELBOURNE said the Noble Earl appeared extremely srnsitive on the subject of this Treaty, but hr could rssure him the Gove.nment had no desire what ever to deck themselves out in plumes that belonged to Whets. He willingly conceded to the Noble Earl all the merit which belonged to him, and it was now his intention to assume any part of it. It was agreed between Austria and England, that ships received into Turk i h ports should have certain privileges. It was an article extremely pressed upon them by the Austrian Plenipotentiary, though unquestionably it was one they had not the power of granting to another. It was an article which Austria had to fulfil, and did not impose upon us any obligation what ever.—( Hear, bear.) By the 6th article of the treaty it ws stipulated that all important privileges given to other nations should be extended to Great Britain ; and, as far as navigation had been concerned, it was fulfilled though he was told this was not the case with respect to duty. With respect to the fourth article of the treaty, it was, no doubt, in contravention of the navigation law. Lord A SHB VRTON said it was clear that if they per.. mitted Austrian ships to trade as if they were British ves sels, they should extend the same favor to the vessels oh other countries. He thought, therefore, that the treaty in question would totally upset the laws of navigation and that appeared to him to be the great difficulty of the question. - The Earl of GALLOWAY presented petitions from places in Rutland against any further grant to the College of Maynooth, and against the Irish Corporation Bill. Their Lordships adjourned at Six o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour, when Mr. H. Drummond, the new Member for Perthshire, in the room of the present Earl of Mansfield, was introduced by Sir G. Clerk and Mr. Christopher. He took the oaths and his seat. • Mr. C. HOPE moved that a petition from the Earl of Hopetoun against the Glasgow and Edinburgh Railway Bill be referred back to the Committee on petitions. Mr. EsTcounr and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended that there was no occasion for taking that course, as the complaint contained in the petition could be inquired into in the Committee on the Bill. That Committee would dt, ample justice between the parties. Mr GREENE made a few observations that were in audible in the gallery. Mr. LABOUCtie,RE thought that substantial justice would be best obtained by referring this petition to the Committee on Petitions, which would afford an opportu nity of inqui r y i n t o the whole circumstances , and whether it was a thi r d c l ass Bill or not. The only question Na , wheth e r t h at course cou ld be adopted consistently with th , regulations of the House ; he was strongly of opinion that it could ; but, at the same time, not having paid mach attention to the subject, perhaps the Speaker would fav our the House with his opinions upon it, as it wgs im portant the House should not take a false step respect ng it. The SPEAKER said, undoubtedly the case was im portant. His own opinion was that the best course in all ca - es where there was any difficulty—and if he assum ‘d the allegations to be correct, this was certainly a do übtful one—was to have the petition referred back to the Com mittee on Petitions or Private Bills, and it was tl en for them to say whether they considered there was any thing in the Bill beyond what had appeared in the petition, and whether it was a 2nd or 3rd claw Bill ; if a 2nd class Bill clearly the parties were not entitled to carry it on. He thought the safest course would be to refer the petition to the Committee on Private Bils. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. ESTCOURT said, after the opinion of the Speaker, it would not become them ,to oppose the motion, which was therefore agreed to. Mr. BR OT HERTON presented a petition from Leeds against the Bolton Small Debts' Bill. On the motion of an HON. MEMBER, the Tavistock Snutll Debts gill was read a second time. Sir J. YARDE BUI.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM, understanding it was the fixed intention of the Honourable Member for Wolverhampton to bring forward his Motion relative to the Corn-laws on the 31st inst., which was likely to lead to a protracted debate, thought it would be for the convenience of the House, if he stated that it was his intention to postpone his motion upon the China papers to this day fortnight, and that on that day it was his fixed determination to bring his mwion_forward..- 7 (Hear, hear.)

On the motion of Sir JAMES GRAHAM the Vacci nation Bill was read a that time, and ordered to be printed. EXPORTATION OF MACHINERY. Mr. E. TEN NE NT moved for a return of the descrip tion and value of the machinery exported from the year 1830 to the year 1840.—Agreed to. Lord TE IG NMOUT H moved fora return of all unap propriated fines levied under the Factory Act, 3d and 4th Will. IV., c. 103, stating the amount in each case, the names of the persons in whose hands the fines are placed, and the authority under which the fines have been so placed instead of being appropriated in the manner directed by the 43d section of the above mentioned Act. He regretted to lima that the Secretary of State for the Colonies intended to oppose the motion. The object of the motion was simply to ascertain what was done with the fines which were levied under the 4'td eec. of the Factory Act, and which were to be applied to the establishment of .schools. One of the Inspectors had received these fines, but had not applied them to the proper purpose. The Noble Lord proceeded to say that he was astonished at the refusal of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite to supply the papers in question; and the more so, as lie had been told that those Returns had been furnished to a Committee unasked for. Under these circumstances, however, he was determined on withdrawing his motion. Mr. FOX MAULE offered a few words in explana tion, add said, that with regard to the returns having been furnished to a Committee, he believed the Noble Lord had been deceived, and that the returns had not been pre sented, although explanations had been given on the subject. The motion was then withdrawn. CHINA—THE OPIUM TRADE. Mr. CRAWFORD then rose and said, there had been presented to the House petitions from the proprietors of Opium, which had been delivered up to Captain Elliot, the Superintendent of the British Trade in China, upon his requisition, in his public capacity, from the British Residents dwelling in Canton. It was his intention, in pur suance of the notice he had given, to move that the greviances complained of on this subject be referred to a Select Committee. As it was not the intention of the Government to oppose the Committee, he should be li.ved at present from going iota details, which otherwise he should have had to enter into. Bur, considering the peculiar nature of the transaction, and considering the magnitude of the interests involved, end considering, too, the importance of the subject as respected the general in terests of British commerce, he might be allowed perhaps to give an historical view of the manner in which this trade hail been conducted for a long series of pears. From the earliest period the trade in opium had existed between Bengal and China, and in the Province of Buhar, th e ar ticle had been grown long before the British sovereignty had been established. So long ago as 1766, when Lord Cornwallis was Governor-General of India, the subject had been brought under the peculiar attention of the Go ,vernment, and the trade was regulated in the way in which it now existed ; and to 1706 the commodity was intro duced into Ghina on payment of a fixed duty. But in that year an edict appeared in China against the importation of opium into that country. That edict, however, proved utterly inoperative.—( Hear, hear.) The quantity of opium expo: red from Bengal never did de crease. It then consisted of about of 4,000 chests; the ships entered the Port of Canton, having at all times the op urn on board, where it was delivered for the conveni. cue of the Chinese Authorities —the whole of this ieoog dune by the Hong merchants, the British subject had nothing to do in the transaction. In consequence os the misunderstandings between those who received thef bribes and those who paid certain transactions, took place relative to the Opium being taker' from Liao, or the •uter waters, and the consequence was, that from that time to the present the versels having Opium on board, were placed in a different situation. In 1824 the first ship made a venture up the east coast, and passed o‘er to the port. In con s - pence of the success that ettended the first adventure, others took place, and in the year 1828 and 1d29 an established trade was formed. I'lie vessels no longer went near Cant on , b ut were supplied with the opium by smaller vess e l s . frau at this way continued till 1838, by which time t had augmented from 4,000 cheats in 1796, to 27,000 e,ests iu 1839 In they ear I 36, front causes which it was ,ot necessary for him then to go into the Chinese Govern ment, took into their serious consideration the subject of the opium trade, ,pparently with an earnest desire to put it down, certainly es respected foreigners ; but a ques. tion arose whether it would not be more politic to legalize the importation, or to continue the prohibition. In JulylB36, an intimation was expected to have arrived at Pekin that the trade was legalized—( Cries of " Hear. hear, ") But it apppeared, however, that in the Council at Pekin, the legalization of the trade was lost by a ma. jority of one, and the consequence was that the measures of the Chinese Government became more stringent to put a stop to the trade ; those measures were found insufficient in 1838, and therefore it appeared that Commissioner Lin was invested with extraordinary powers, superseding all the authorities under the Viceroy, and he appeared in Canton for the purpose of putting the authorities which he possessed into effect. (LEFT SPEAKING.) IMPERIAL PA RLIAM EN T HOUSE OF LORD,', MARC)! 23. IRISH CORPORATIONS AND PRINTED PAPERS BILLS. (Continued from our Second Edition. ) The Marquis of L WNE said be was not disposed entirely to concur that this important Bill, which had been delayed art unusual time already—, (" No," from the Duke of Wellington)—at the request of the Noble Dutze.---e. No," from the Duke of Wel lington.) It came up on the 13th instant, and, at the request of the Noble Duke, the second reading b a d been hitherto delayed_ He concurred in the consent of his Noble Friend to take the second reading on Friday se'nnight, but, notwithstanding that concur rence, he protested against the doctrine that no im portant business should be brought into the House of Lords before Easter. Was it to he announced to the public that Noble Lords were justified in absence from their duty in that, House upon a pppo44iop be, cause no announcement had taken place, that public business would not come on before Easter ? He did not consider the absence of Noble Lords in Ireland previous to Easter a ground for not proceeding with important Irish measures. He could not but remember that not once on ly, b ut over and over again, her Ma jesty's Government were subjected to reproach in that House for not having brought on public measures before Easter, and for having accumulated business of great importance after. He had always considered it the duty of the Government to bring forward measures as early as they could in the Session. With these observations, he concurred most freely in the postponement, on the grounds stated of the indis position of the Noble and Learned Lord, whom he was sure all of their Lordships would wish to see in his place when the subject was under discussion. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said a few words in explanation. The Earl of HADDINGTON was quite certain that if the Noble Lord opposite had understood the Noble Duke, he would not have made so ungracious a concession. The Noble Duke said it would be late next week before the Noble and Learned Lord would have recovered so as to be able to attend to business at He did not say in this House, but at all ; and then the Noble Viscount proposed to bring on the measure late next week, the Noble and Learned Lord not being able to attend in his place at that time. Whatever was the opinion on the Bill, there were many other Noble Lords who would vote against it, and who, if the Noble and Learned Lord voted in its favour, would expect he should state his reasons for doing so, which the Noble and Learned Lord would doubtless wish to do. The Noble Duke was the last man in the House who would wish that no business should be done in it before Eas tet. No such thing was stated by the Noble Duke. Here they had been sitting two months, and not a mea sure had originated in the House. The Noble Lord had left off making that House a House of Parliament for originating business, and therefore it was considered by Noble Lords in general that the time before Easter was occupied in receiving petitions. They had complained over and over again 1:1' this, but when it was the constant course of proceeding, no won der when a measure of great importance to Ireland caine on before Easter, those Noble Lords should have trusted to the usual course of proceeding, and not come over as they would have done if they had been aware of it. Lord MELBOURNE then said he would adjourn the second reading until Monday se'nnieht. On the motion of Lord DUNCANN ON a message was ordered to be sent to the House of Commons re questing the communication of the Report of the Com mittee on Printed Papers. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented two petitions from places in the county of Down in favour of the principle of non-intrusion. Viscount MELBOURNE presented a petition from Staley-bridge, praying for the total repeal of the Corn laws. Lord ASHBURTON said he could not allow any such a petition to be presented by the Premier without asking him a question upon so important a point. Many persons were anxious to address the House in support of the Corn-laws, but they thought it unnecessary, because they had confidence in the declarations of the Noble Viscount of last Session. He wished to ask the Noble Viscount whether he still entertained the same sen timents as he did then, or whether it was the inten tion of her Majesty's Government to introduce or support any measure for altering these laws. Viscount MELBOURNE said he retained the same opinions upon the question of the Corn-laws as he did last year, reserving to himself the right of agreeing to any necessary modification of them. It was not the in tention of the Government as a Government to bring forward or support any measure for the repeal of the Corn-laws, or to make any alteration of them. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented numerous pe titions against the intrusion of ministers. The Earl of HA DDINGTO N presented petitions from several officers of corporations in Ireland, praying for compensation for the loss of their offices. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented petitions from numerous places in Yorkshire against any alteration in the Corn-laws. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM presented a peti tion from Newport Pagnel, praying that a stop might he put to the opium trade ; also numerous petitions from places in the counties of York, Somerset, and Durham, against any alteration in the Corn-laws. He wished to ask the Noble Marquis opposite whether he was aware that a procession had been formed under the sanction of the Lnrd Lieutenant of Ireland, on St. Patrick's-day, consisting of 1,200 persons, attended by two priests, with music, ribbons, &c. ; and whether a stipendiary Magistrate named Tuckey had memorialized the Government upon the subject. The Marquis of NORMA NBY had no knowledge of the subject. Had he had notice of the question. probably he might have got some information from his Noble Friend, the Secretary for Ireland. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM— Perhaps the Noble Marquis will make inquiry upon the subject. The Marquis of NORMANBY—Certainly. Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from va rious places in Gloucester, against any alteration in the Corn-laws. EXCHEQUER RECORDS. Lord REDESDALE wished to receive some expla nation from the Noble Lord the Comptroller of the Ex chequer, relative to the late destruction of Exchequer papers. Lord MONTEAGLE said that the event in question was not the result of any negligence, and the documents in question were not, as the Noble Lord had supposed, those which had been transferred to the control of the Master of the Rolls. The Earl of ABERDEEN was sorry to say that there appeared to him to have been a good deal of cul pable negligence in the destruction of those papers or records. He had no doubt that the greater portion of them was worthless, but still the persons employed in the proceeding had either performed the work with great negligence, or had shown themselves incompetent to the discharge of their duties. He understood that a great many of those papers were at present in the hands of auctioneers for the purpose of being sold or published. They could not, therefore, have been of the worthless description which had been represented. The day be fore yesterday he chanced to have had occasion to go to the British Museum, and he found there a portion of those very papers which had been brought for sale there. He had no doubt but the Museum would purchase them, and yet he thought it a little hard that the public should be obliged to buy up their own papers in that manner.—(Hear, hear.) He had had the curiosity to look at some of them ; and the first he saw was a letter from the Secretary of State of Leo X., addressed to Cardinal Wolsey. The next papers he looked at were several sheets containing a list and description of several things bought for the use of Queen Elizabeth. There was another paper he had been told containing an account of the expenses of King Charles I. during his imp isonment. He did not think that these were documents which ought to have been sold or destroyed.—( Hear). Lord MONTEAGLE said, that he might be al lowed to say a few words in justification of his Right Hon. Friend, as he was not at all concerned in the transaction, it having taken place before his appointment to his present office. He was not, however, a bit the less interested on that account in doing justice to his Right Hon. Friend. While the Noble Earl opposite had said so much on the destruction of these records, he seemed to have forgotten that, had it not been for the interposi tion of his Right Hon. Friend, the entire of the records in question would have been ruined. For 15 years those documents had been lying in vaults, where they would have all remained, were it not for the exertions of his Right Hon. Friend. He believed, too, that his Right Hon. Friend had employed the most experienced clerks in his office ; and one of . thim in particular had served forty or fifty years under Lord Granville. The House should recollect that they could not do justice to the subject without looking to the documents that had been preserved, as well as to those which had been destroyed. It might happen that documents would have a value in the market, and none at all as matters to be preserved ; and some of those papers were much sought after as curiosities, when they possessed no other interest than as autographs. Lord ABERDEEN had no doubt that many im portant documents had been recovered ; but, at the same time there had been very great negligence in allowing so many to he destroyed without examina tion. From some which he had seen in the house of a considerable bookseller, and which were to be purchased for the British Museum, he believed that the public would have to pay again for some of those which had been sold. Lord REDESDALE said that the conduct of the Exchequer was illegal. The papers were sold without examination, and amongst them some were of a very in teresting character. Amongst them were two which he had seen ; the one was an account of the number of ship and men in the Spanish Armada, with their stores and pay. That document was signed by Lord Burleigh. Although the paper was mutilated, for what purpose he did not know, the signature remained. The other was an account of the persons who were sent down on the trial of the Queen of Scots at Fotheringay. He did not say that these were very important papers, but they were of a description that ought not be destroyed, and they would not have been sold if there had not been very great carelessness. VACCINATION. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from the medical men of Galway praying that the Vac cination Bill should be extended to Ireland. Lord ROSEBERILY and the Earl of HADDINGTON hoped that it would be extended to Scotland. CORN-LAWS. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented peti tions —one from the hand-loom weavers, and another from certain landowners in Chester, for the immediate abolition of the corn-Jaws. The Noble Marquis also presented a petition from Belfast,- against Church intru sion in Scotland, HOUSE O,F COItIIMOVS, M4RCM 23.

The Earl of ABERDEEN gave notice that he would to-morrow put questions to the Noble 'iscount, (Melbourne) respecting the operation of the treatY entered into with Austria a year and a half tee, re specting the navigation of the Danube. CANADA. Lord DUNCANNON laid upon the table taleral papers received by her Majesty's Government fronithe Governor-General of Cansda ; amongst them W 3 a Bill which had been passed by the Provincial Legio future for the sale or fresh distribution (as we uncle stood) of the Clergy Reserves. d The,Archbishop of CANTERBURY was surpr is that those p a p ers were l a id upon the ta bl e without Si A explanation. The Bill interfered with the provision foh the Establish e d Ch urc h, w hi c h was b y a reserve °f lar :, called the cl erg y reserve . Th at prov i s i on was mane 'Y an Act of P ar l iament i n 179 1, an d that A ct co ntaine d a clause requiring that no alteration of the r eserve should tak e pl ace un l ess t h e Bill shou ld h ave lain for thirty days upon the tables of both Houses of ment. But, as he understood, it was only intende d to allow twenty-th ree d ays f or the consideration of the pre sent At the sa me ti me , t h e a l terat i on which made in the distribution of the reserve was very gre a as it would give to the Church of England only ir e " fourth, to the Church of Scotland one-fourth, and to th e Dissenting clergy of all denominations the rerealn. a g o two-fourths.

Lord DUNCANNON presented the papers in t i° customary manner, and when the Most Reverend Pr e late interrupt e d hi m , h e was a b out to move t hat papers should be published previous to their discussion He thought he allelic rather complain of the M O4 Reverend Prelate, in discussing so important a sub,l 4 without notice, and when the House had n ot th papers before them sufficiently to discuss them. a. The Archbishop o f CANTERBURY exPlei°e He apologized f or th e i n t errupt i on, an d sa i d t h at he ha d no notion that the Noble Lord had not concluded. t Viscount MELBOURNE sa id that Government had followed the course chalked out by the Act of Par liament. It was not necessary for them to open th t provisions of the Bill, although it might be competf ° to any of th e i r L or d sh i ps to do so.

The Bishop of LONDON said when the Gorer n ; ment had thought fit to lay a Bill of such importanci on the table they should have given some i n timation their opinion. Th e N o bl e L or d t h e Secretary for Bill Colonies had st a t e d i n anot h er p l ace that when t he f was laid on the tabl e an express i on of the op i e ina: the Government w ou ld accompany i t, and he h a d no va heard, with the greatest surprise, that her Maieli e Ministers inte n d e d t o g i ve the i r support to it. 4,0 should not n ow en t er i nto hi s reasons for objecting t°..-fe Bill, but at th e p ro p er t i me s h ou l d b e prepared to Justiliti that oppositi on , an d h e truste d the i r Lordsh i ps to ° • be See it in the sam e li g ht, an d i nterpose t h e i r wing my tween the Establish e d Ch urc h i n C ana d a an d t h e des - f blow aimed at it th roug h t hi s Bill .

A Right `..cal‘ Prelate, who was no t t h en i n hi s p l ace, intended to 16e their Lordsbip s to su b m i t certain questions to Judges, on the ground that the Assembly io Upper Canada bad exceeded their power passing such a n A c t.
