But when he looked at the provisions of the Viscount MELBOURNE did not see how he could Bill, he saw much to complain of, because it introduced a agree to that which was asked of him. Of course after method of paralyzing the proceedings of the Courts of the thirty days had expired, an address from that House Justice to which they ought not to be exposed.

Was it Mr. Howard, who had thought proper to bring . a Hill,eir, as far as he could, to place their Lordships inCommons? Miss third action, in dcfi ince of the House of a I'II"~" he a party to whom costs should be awarded? He could only assimilate this by saying it was similar to the case of a Court of Equity, when a party brought an ac tion in defiance of en injunction ; but his Noble and Learned Friend would say they bad a right to grant the injunction, but that was the question. If a party did so, so far from having his costs, ho was committed to the Fleet, and not permitted to leave it till he had paid the costs occasioned by his contempt. Did any one suppose that the plaintiff in the ease stated was an object of com passion, or entitled to costs? But not only were the Judges to hare the power of awarding costs, the words were " costs or otherwise." He would ask, whether any thing could be imagined more certain to effect the reverse of that desirable object they were scekiug to obtain, and whether if this amendment were carried, the House of Commons would not be compelled to do that which they did not desire to do, as evinced by their sending up the Bill ? On this first amendment he trusted their Lordships would be of opinion that it would entirely defeat the object of the Bill, and, instead of removing the difficulties, would aggravate them. What he had said related to the case of Stockdale. He would postpone remarking upon Howard's for the present. Lord WYNFORD supported the amendment, and argued that the cases of Ashby and White, and Burdett and Abbot, laid down the law, which bad never been re scinded, that every man might obtain redress for injury received from the officers of Parliament. He maintained Parliament had no privileges that were not recognized by the law of the land, or had not been publicly recognized by long-established usage, or were just and reasonable ; and that it was the duty of the Courts of Justice to de clare its authority, and to give redress to any party who sought redress for an injury sustained from any officer of the House of Commons. Lord A BINGER said it was wise and prudent of the House to accept the Bill as a Bill of a peace, in the sense in which his Noble and Learned Friend accepted it. It struck him, however, that his Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack was right as to the effect of the amend ment upon the pending actions of Stockdale and others. He did not think it right that the House of Commons should be exposed to the mortification of one of its ser vants being taken in an action of the nature of those out of which this Bill had arisen. He thought it would be better so to frame the Bill as to stop the action of Stock dale • but that of Howard stood upon other grounds. He would have proposed one single clause, only providing that the defendant in all actions for libel, founded on the publication of Parliamentary Papers, should be entitled to a verdict, with costs. He considered the machinery devised by the Bill inconvenient anomalies and unconstitutional. Lord DENMAN said that he had no objection to the stopping of Stockdale's action, but the clause, as it stood in the Bill, extended to other actions. He would not, on the part of the Queen's Bench, acquiesce in the as sumption that an order of the House of Commons, or of the House of Lords, was sufficient to prevent any man from bringing his action before the Courts of Law, if he thought he had good grounds of action. The LORD CHANCELLOR supported the original clauses. From what he knew of the history of the case, he thought that there had been no intention on the part of the framers of the Act, to show jealousy of the Judges, or to give them offence. The Duke of WELLINGTON was understood to sup port the amendments. Lord LANGDALE supported the Bill in its original state. It was not necessary that the Bill should be the best possible, for if their Lordships showed now a con ciliatory spirit, and a disposition to assist the House of Commons out of its difficulties, they might with a better grace at a future time pass a Bill to remedy the defects of the present measure. He did not think that there was any disposition in the House of Commons to give offence to the Court of Queen's Bench. Lord DENMAN would offer the Bill, in its present state, his most strenuous opposition. To stop the action of Mr. Howard, against an officer for an outrage com mitted in an excess of his authority, would be the most gross injustice, and of the worst example. Feeling it his duty to oppose that part of the Bill, no power on earth would prevent him from doing so. He did not trouble himself about the personal disrespect, but it was im. possible to have read the debates in another place without perceiving that there existed somewhere a disposition to do something that might be disagreeable to the Court of Queen's Bench. The Noble and Learned Lord then read a clause which be proposed to insert in the beginning of the Bill, to the effect that " all actions against printers and publishers for libels contained in pub lications printed by order of the House of Commons shall be, and the same are, hereby stayed." The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the amend ment was not sufficiently defined. After a few words from Lord WYNFORD, The Earl of WINCHIL SEA felt deeply indebted to the Noble and Learned Lord for the stand he had made for vindicating the character of the Court of Queen's Bench. He cordially supported the amendments proposed by the Noble Lord, and his only wish was that they had gone further. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought it would meet the object the Noble Lord had in view, if the first clause, as to the printing, was left as it now stood, and the provi sion proposed by the Noble Lord should be inserted in the 2d clause. He alluded to the producing to the Court the certificate of the Speaker of either House of Parlia ment, that the paper had been printed under his authority. That would relieve all objections, and preserve the ma chinery of the first clause. Lord DENMAN agreed to the proposition and with drew his amendment. . Lord \V YNFORD proposed an amendment to the effect of preventing the sale of the papers by the House of Commons. Lord ELLENBOROUGH felt bound to oppose the amendments of the Noble and Learned Lord In his opi nion they ought to pass the measure as nearly as possible in the shape in which it had been sent to them by the House of Commons, but he must say that at the same time they gave themselves this new protection they ought to take care that it was not abused.—( Hear.) What, he would ask, would be the consequence of the Noble Lord's amendment ? why, that House would have to go to the House of Commons and say they would pass the Bill if they would rescind one of their resolutions.— ( Hear.) He trusted therefore that their Lordships would not adopt the amendment, for in his opinion if they did it would be far better that they should throw out the Bill altogether than add to the collision already existing be tween the House of Commons and the Courts, the collision between that House and the House of Commons.—( Hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON said he thought that they ought to put both Houses on the same footing by indemnifying the publication. The cause of all the mischief had been the resolutions of the House of Commons of 1835, SanetiOttliig the vale of their publications, vvhieh Might contain libels on her Majesty's subjects, making the House of Commons the only authorised libellers in the kingdom.—(Hear, bear.) It was impossible the House could pass that Bill without adopting some measure to prevent a repetitiOtt of the evil, and to prevent the Mete ef Gtirliilbon3 being the only authorised libellers throughout the country. The Marl of WICKLOW agreed that the removal of all the evils might be effected by preVerititlitthb tale tic the Papers—but there would be gibat diftculty in adopting that course. He thought the toss to the public would be infinitely greater by adopting the proposal of the Noble and Learned Lord, than it weeld leheing the circum stances as they, at Nrl3 chi ekieted. The House of Com mons, haei% uescended from the high position they at first tee t, and having sent up this Bill to them be should be very sorry to see it rejected, Lord MONTE AU L Itiolight the question of sale was utterly Itethilitial, although the Votes of the House Of Colnmons had been constantly sold since the year 1688, with the exception of a slight Intdrrptitidh lb 1717.

The House of Coalitions took greater care with a view of preventing the printing or circulation of an imprpper priptir than the House of Lords did. The Noble Duke had feterred to the Very important into rests that were at stake. He would say do not let these im portant interests be compromised. lie thought the amend ments would be fatal to the peintiple of the Bill, and he would say; that if the Bill were a bad title let them at once reject it, but if they wished to allay the troubled waters, and put an end to the,differenees and contentions that had taken place elsewhere, let them not introduce amendments which they must know in their hearts and I minds were I:ialetslated to deeticer Its ahead)* ecimptetely. Viscount 111gLBOU1tNE would not enter into the question of whether the right of publishing and selling papers by the House df COlthmritt3 was proper or expe dient or not, but it appeared to billi tittite Blear that if the amendments were assented to, the object contemplated by the Bill would be entirely put an end to. The amend ments went to censure the House of Commons, and to call upon them to freeikd Its resolutiofi of sale, and he fee- title eduld not consent to such a proposition, inasmuch as it was calculated to destroy one of the most important and valuable functions of the House.—( Hear, hear, hear.) The libel certainly could not be considered a very grievous one, for it merely btattti that Mr. Stockdale was A publisher of loose and immoral works. There was another case, that of a very respectable gentleman .who had given evi dence before the New Zealand Committee, but with the exception any of t i h n e c s o e n t v e e - n o i e c n a c s e he es havingb el I e a v e r i d s e there from the n o in stance exer cise of that privilege. Lord COLC HE ST E R supported the amendments, al though be should regret any collision between that House and the House of Commons. Lord ASHBURTON should like to know what incon venienceiiseferoen before Parliamentaryindividualsmoarkin co liablenmitflort e an s y , lihe l s evidence or in petitions presented to either Howe, more especially if the party were allowed to plead the truth in justification. Lord LANGD A L E said the privilege asserted by the House of Commons was based upon the necessity of ob taining every possible information for the purposes of legis lation. The question was, whether when it was necessary for the public benefit that publication should take place, and that by some insavr.t tenon something affecting the private character of an individual took place, the servant= of the House should be made amen:lWe to the Courts of Justice. Ile apprehended that as they were merely obeying the orders el the House they ought not to be punished, but at the same time he thought it unfair that the subject should be left without a remedy. Now there being a direct order of the house of Commons to sell these publications, they could not agree to the motion without passin g a censure upon the House of Commons, which he feared would lead to a collision with that Howe, and be should therefore oppose the motion. The Marquis of BUTE did not think that the with- EVEN ENG EDITION THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL:Ii, 1840 drawal of the present amendment would acttle the differ ences at present exirting between the House of Commons and the Courts of Law, for one of their Lordships had stated that until the clause relative to Mr. Howard's action was withdrawn, he would never consent to the passing of the Bill. He believed the House of Commons was very little aware of the strong feeling that existed among their constituents on the subject of the privileges claimed by that House of selling its papers.—( Hear. ) Lord DENMAN said he could not believe the House of Commons would pass the Bill, if the present amend ment of the Learned and Noble Lord ( Wynford) was adopted. The Bill did not apply to the House as the sellers of libels but as the publishers of libels. He wished there had been a proper opportunity of devising guards against libels, which, however, had not occurred. Lord WYNFORD replied, but was inaudible in the Gallery. Strangers were then ordered is withdraw, but tl'e House did not divide, the amendment being withdrawn. Or, our return, Lord DENMAN moved that clause 3 should be omitted. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the difficulty was, that the person bringing the action had represented to the House of Commons that he did not bring it impugning the privileges of the House of Commons, but on account of the misconduct of their officer in executing the war rant, upon which the House allowed their officer to plead, and found it difficult, under the circumstances, to stop the action. After a short conversation, the clause was withdrawn. The Report was then agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to. morrow. The House then adjourned until to-morrow, at Three o'Clock. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Eliza Emma, 42 age d , was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding her husband Thomas Emms, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. The particulars of the charge have already appeared in the paper. The Jury found the prisoner guilty of an assault only, and Mr. BAnox Atnnasom sentenced her to be imprisoned for six months. Ellis Coward, aged 44, was convicted of the manslaughter of Charlotte Swell, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. DARING ROBBERY.—lgnatius Braithwaite, a respectable look. ing man, aged 33, was indicted for assaulting, beating, and robbing Mary Neale, upon the Queen's highway. It appeared from the e vidence, that on a Saturda y evening, in the early part of the month of March, the prosecutrix was walking along Baker.street, Portman.square, when she was suddenly attacked by the prisoner who rushed upon her, and threw her against the iron railings, and at the same moment seized her reticule, And attempted to force it away from her. She struEgled violently with him, and called for assistance, and the prisoner said he would assist her if she . gave him her reticule, but she refused to do so; at length, however, he succeeded in getting the re. ticule from her, and ran away. The prosecutrix was very much .urt in the struggle. Her hand was cut, and her arm was bruised from the top to the bottom. The prisoner ran away, and as he was doing so he was observed to throw something down an area, and which afterwards proved to be the reticule of the prosecutrix. The prisoner was stopped by a carpenter, who held him till the po. lice came up. The prisoner, in his defence, declared that he was innocent. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Baron ALonesax told the prisoner he had been convicted of a most daring robbery, and there was another charge of a similar kind against him. Under these circumstances the Court was b.ued to pass a severe sentence. The prisoner was then ordered to be transported for the term of his natural life. ALLEGED MUTINY AT: SEA.—Francis Bolton, 27, William lll‘Farlane, 26, David Jfraram, 21, James Sansome, 26, and George Gumston, 21, mariners, were placed at the bar. The charge against them was that of having piratically confined Thomas Bainbridge, the master of the vessel called the Cubana, in the fore. castle of his vessel, and also with having attempted to cause a re volt in the ship. When the case was called on, Mr. Philips, who was instructed for the prosecution, banded in some affidavits, to the effect that in consequence of the absence of the captain of the vessel, the trial could not come on at the present Session. It was finally arranged that the prisoners should enter into their own recognizances to appear and take their trial at the July Ses. gong, with the exception of Grimston, against whom no evidence was offered. A Jury was charged, and a verdict of acquittal re turned, upon which he was discharged. SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS. REIGATE, Aram 9. Before Lord MoNsex, Chairman, and a full Bench of Ma gistrates.) BURGLARY AT LORD ASHEURION•3.—John Blackie, aged 19, and George Beadle, aged 18, were indicted for burglariously breaaing and entering the dwelling-house of Alexander Lord Ashburton, at Addiscembe, with intent to steal, and stealing therein property belonging to that nobleman. Mr. Gazelce defended the prisoners. The Jury found the prisoners guilty, and his Lordship sen tenced them to be transported for ten years. MEMOIRS OF THE PRINCESS DASCHKAW, LADY OF NONOUR TO CATWERINZ 11.---This is a production which will take a high rank amidst that class of entertaining, instructive, and important works termed memoirs, and of which Europe, within the last sixty years, has been so prolific. The Princess Daschkaw was born of the highest aristocracy of Russia, and she came into this world in the important year 1744, and consequently had to go through life during the most convulsed and awful of all the periods of modern history. She was caressed, petted, and humoured in infancy by the Empress Elizabeth, and as she Imperial up amidst the Court Circle , an d the connexion of the Imperial Palace, she became the con fidant and bosom friend of that daring, haughty, abandoned, profligate, and clever woman, the renowned Catherine 11. ThAi princess Must have possessed extraordinary talent, as well as no ordinary prudence, tact, and cunning, to acquire the con fidence of so acute and penetrating a woman as her imperial mistress, and to preserve her influence in a Court full of spies, sycophants, manceuvercrs, intriguers, andtyrants, who scrupled as little in taking away the lift of a rival, as in destroying a re putation or receiving a bribe. Subsequently, the Princess seems to have found it convenient to travel, and not having any very strong inclination to a residence in Siberia, she bent her steps to Germany, France, Italy, England, Ireland, and other countries, her observations on which, with the incidents of her residence in each, greatly enhance the interest of her memoirs, which will, no doubt, soon occupy a place in every good library.

The latest prices paid show an advance on those of this day week of Gd to is per cwt. At public sale 68 hhds, 5 tierces, 1 barrel Barbadoes sold with spirit at stiff prices; good yellow fetched 69s to 70s, middling to good middling 67s to 68s 6d per cwt. This afternoon there was an increased inquiry from re finers as well as grocers, and a large business was done considering the short supply ; 500 hhds were disposed of at stiffer prices, making the rise for the week Is, and 1,150 hhds and trcs disposed of. REFlNED.—Refined Goods at prices 6d above those of last Friday. Standard Lumps in large parcels at 81s, Tittlers, 82s a 87s, low brown lumps 775, good and fine 78s a 795, patent goods 80s per cwt.

To-day the grocers bought largely of Refined Goods, paying als. to 111 s 6d for standard lumps. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was an increased de sire shown to purchase, but the advanced rates required checked business, and 1,375 bags at public sale were nearly all taken in is above former rates, via., fine yellow at 68s to 70s, good 66s to 675, middling to good middling 64s to 65s 6d, low middling 63s 6d per cwt.

Porto Rico at late rates. White kinds of Brazil have been only in limited request by private treaty, but previous prices have been supported; brown sorts have been in steady demand, and the advanced rates previously established have been maintained. COMEE.—The low and unclean descriptions of British Plantation continue extremely dull of sale, and prices still remain uncertain. This afternoon the home trade pur chased rather more freely of Coffee by private contract, and prices have become more settled, 70s a 758 has been ' paid for mid and good Java, 90s a 92s for ord and good ord Ceylon, and 135 s for good mid Jamaica, and the mar ket is far from active : at auction 42 bales Mocha, 6 casks Demerara, 200 hags Brazil were put up; Mocha sold at its full value, viz., at 123 s for very common mixed green, and good yellow at 1335; Demerara sold at 90s 6d for unclean ragged ; Brazil went at 45s a 48s for good and fine ordinary, being its full value. Tsi.—On Monday accounts were received from China, stating that the Chinese Government had issued an edict, prohibiting the importation into their ports of British goods of any kind, whether in native or in foreign ships, requiring a band from the masters of any vessel entering the port to trade that it does not contain goods transhipped from any British vessel, and consenting to the confiscation of the ship and cargo should anything British be discovered on board. Lin, the Commissioner, was in high favour with the Emperor, who fully approved of the course he has pursued towards the English, and there was not the least foundation for the re port that he had been lowered in rank. On the part of t al :t. Elliot there had appeared some desire to place affairs on an a „:_icable footing; but Lin was quite averse to this, and stated this!' the edict stopping the trade for ever with the Eng li s h s t iou Ll continue in force . In India warlike ins . continued. The dates were preparations against C:: 19th Feb. from Calcutta, to the 29th Feb. from Bornn2v , The effect of the and 7th January from CS . ntt.7 . above was to produce mu c h desire on the d p ay ar , t a o ri f d th in e trade to purchase on that an d the follovOng Company's Congou a la r g e business was tr,znsactad for cash at 2s 5d to 2s sd, and a good many contracts were made for short and long prompts at 2s 6d to /8 70, which was an advance on the rates established towards the close of last week of Id to lid per lb. For Free Trade Tea a good demand prevailed for actual consump tion as well as on speculation, and prices improved Id. In cash parcels a large business was done at 2a 3/d to 2., 4d for common Free Trade Congou, and 2s 4d to 2s 4-!4d for ordinary Twankay. A good many parcels were dis posed of for prompts at 2s 5d for the former, and the latter at 2s s&d, at which rates several parties were not disposed to sell, but during the last few days there has been l ess life in the market, and the transactions in Free Trade have been rather limited, and chiefly confined to parcels for cash, but prices generally remain firm, For Com pany's Congou the demand has much abated, and prices at one time fell to 2s 2id for cash, but have since rallied to 2s. 3.1 d per lb. The future state of prices of Tea, par ticularly if there should be a long stoppage of trade, rill mainly depend on the quantity of Tea that is already ship ped and in progress of shipment ; by some it is stated at 7,000,0001b5., but the letters arc mostly silent on this subject, and this causes holders of Tea to be very timid, besides caus ing the dealers to buy with caution. It is reported that the Thomas Coutts has begun to take in her homeward cargo. The Royal Saxon, it is said, has succeeded in getting up to Whampoa. The Frederick Huth has ar rived from Hong Kong with 50 chests, 849 half cheats, 300 boxes. 1,448 tencatty boxes Caper. 38 boxes Sou chong, 138 boxes Orange Pekoe ; and the Pekoe with 6,500 packages Tea. To. day there was not much desire shown to purchase Free Trade Tea, and the transactions were on a small scale, and a heavy prompt falling due compelled some par ties to sell at earlier rates for cash, and low Congous were disposed of at 2s 2d a 24 2-d, and ordinary Twankay at 23 3d a 2s 31d ; but at these rates not many parcels were offering, and, considering the large quantity of money required to pay for Tea, holders display much firmness, and the nearest price for common Congou is 2s 3d, and Twankay 2s 4d for cash. For prompts few sales were made, but ordinary Congoue were not offered under 2s 4d, and Twankay 2s sd. In Company's Congou there was ' little passing, buyers at 2s 3d for cash, but few sellers under 2s 31c1 per lb. It is calculated that if all the Tea ships lying at Macao could get cargoes, they could not bring more than 14,400,000 lbs. of Tea. This afternoon the demand for free trade Tea was limited for cash, and for prompts there are few buyers. In Company's Congou there was little passing, the nearest prices at the close of the market for cash to which the business was chiefly confined was common free trade Congou 2i 2d, Twankay 2a 31d, and Company's Congou 2s 3d per lb, at these rates there were few buyers : none of the catalogues for the next sale have been issued.

Wel" FIRES.-Wednesday morning, between t tit ke and one o'clock, a most alarming and destructive fire rb o at the dwelling-house of Messrs. Brown, extensive utirserj:s men and horticulturists, at Slough, near Windsor. There hold an excellent supply of water, but the flames had got such of the premises that all efforts were of no avail in checki n g their progress, and in less than two hours from the time of the fire breaking out the house was completely gutted, and not vestige of the furniture saved. The only portion of the pro perty which was preserved were the day-book and ledger of the last year, the plate, and some few of the paintings. A vain able stock of seeds was wholly destroyed, as well as nearly the whole of the writings and papers connected with the firm. Th e house and furniture are insured. At the back of the chinu i tel a large piece of timber had been inserted, and this timber , supposed, must have become ignited.—From a similar an ° • on Tuesday night, about ten o'clock, a fire, which at one tint° threatened great devastation, burst out at the Refor m Club. house. „ ID 's WHITES VERSUS BLACKS AT THE I , °`" - t Tatits.—Afa w Sundays since I witnessed the following m en heart-rending scene at the communion table of ou r ascen d t, Lord :—The ordinance was delivered to the cornmunlean.r as they came by, and knelt around the altar. Twe nt i more could kneel around it at a time. One class came 'IF' knelt and received the ordinance, and were bid &Pa rt rd peace. A second class came, received the ordinance, were told to depart in peace. A third class came, and w . ei - ro received in a similar way. A fourth class came ; there l'a urged a l eight or ten who came. The minister waited, and to come. Soon two respectable-looking coloured fern ! it detached themselves from the congregation, the aisle, went round to one end of the altar, /ova/ f - 0 the rest, and were about to kneel. The minister at this t o saw them, and motioned them away to a pew. They d 6 P a n c , ed, looking sorrowful and heart-broken. The cunraun l l - r were ordered to depart in peace. " Now," says the min , ' e ac if there are any of our coloured friends who wish to n e : they can come." The two coloured ladies modestly and mer, v b J e took their places at the altar. In a cold and indifferent waY,`..o, walked drowo Sacrament was administered.
