Lord BROUGHAM rose to present a petition, of which he had given notice on Tuesday, for the purpose of calling the attention of their lordships, and particularly that of her ma jesty's ministers, to 'the case of nine very unfortunate indi viduals who had been subject to imprisonment for 18 months, and who were in imminent danger of being transported to a penal colony. Some collateral matters respecting their case had come before the Court of Queen's Bench and the Exche quer, hence it became more important that he should call the 'attention of the house to their situation. He had never seen more clear, lucid, and impressive statement of fact than was presented in their petition ; therefore, he did not think he could do better for the petitioners than to present that statement to the house. He had had correspondence with Mr. Parker, one of the petitioners, and had made it his busi hess to make some inquiries respecting him. In the result he had found that he had been in a most respectable station of life, and universally admitted to be an honest and upright man. As to the others, he had been assured they were ge nerally respectable. They were committed to prison in Upper ,Canada towards the end of 1837, on a charge of high treason, which was before the treasonable outbreak took place in that colony, so that they could not have been parties to it. Mr. Parker's offence was that of having written a letter containing treasonable expressions. Some of the petitioners had sur . rendered from the terms of the proclamation, which offered a ftee pardon to all who should surrender, except to the six persons named in that proclamation. • The Marquis of NORMANBY was sure that their lordships 'wopld feel that it was impossible for him, at this stage, to make any comments on the petition which had been read to their lordships, for this reason—that many of its allegations were, at the present moment, under the consideration of her Majesty's government. No decision had been yet come to on the subject. It was, therefore, obviously impossible to speak to the guilt of certain parties. He was satisfied that, in the present state of the business, their lordships would not consider it consistent with his duty to say another word. Lord ARDESDALE proposed the second reading of the clerks of the peace bill, but it was opposed and negatived. Lord DENMA.N said that in consequence of the amendments made by the Commons to the borough courts' bill he should not, press that measure ; but that he should introduce another bill in a form which he hoped would be less exposed to ob jection. Earl STANHOPE then presented important petitions from clergymen of five adjoining parishes in the county of Kent, from Thomas Coombs, &c., complaining of the provisions and operation of the poor-law amendment act. His lordship entered into interesting and impressive details on the subject. They gave rise to some desultory discussion, in which the Dukes of Richmond and Wellington, Lord Brougham, &c., took part.—Their lordships afterwards adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY. On Theinoii;iiof Sir H. FLEETWOOD the Preston and Wise -Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of Mr. M. PHILIPS, the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. DILLON BROWN presented a petition from the catholic archbishop and priesthood of the diocese of Tuam, against the national system of education in Ireland. The petitioners stated that they considered the education of the people of that diocese was exclusively vested in the catholic clergy, and that, such being the case, they could not give up what they conscientiously believed to be their rights. Mr. LAW moved that the petition be rejected. He thought the hon. member stated that the petition was signed by a per son calling himself the Archbishop of Tuam, and thereby in curring penalties under the statute. Would the bon. mem bor be good enough to state if that were so ? Mr. D. BROWNE : It is signed " John M`Hale." Mr. LAW : How is it headed? Mr. D. BROWNE : It is stated to be the petition of the archbishop and clergy of the diocese of Tuam ; but it is not signed by John M'Hale, describing himself as the Archbishop of Tuam. . . Mr. LAW : The objection arises upon a petition which is described u that of the Archbishop of Tuam, some person hiving falsely assumed to himself that title. .31r. O'CONNELL rose, and exclaimed with great vehe nience, " The word falsely is inapplicable. It is false to say -7 Sir R. INGLIS called on the Speaker to protect the house from the hon. and learned member. That hon. and learned inember was unrestrained by any thing out of that house ; but he had now dared to designate a statement made by his hon. friend, the Recorder of the City of London, and member fit the University of Cambridge, as false. He trusted the illeaker would call on the hon. and learned member to with draw.the expression—to apologise to him—to apologise to his lion. and learned friend—and to apologise to the house. The SPEAKER said, that the hon. and learned gentleman, iqk he understood him, had used an expression which was most diiorderly ; and it was only necessary to state that, to induce the hon. and learned member to retract the expression, and to, apologise to the house. Mr. O'CONNELL said, the moment the Speaker had of fered such an opinion, he should at once withdraw it in the fullest manner. A discussion ensued, in the course of which Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that there was the statement at the head of the petition'that it was the petition of the Archbishop of Tuam, and the hon. member for the county of Mayo had said that he was not authorised by Dr. M'Hale, norby the clergy signing the petition, to withdraw that designation ; and this placed the house in a position of considerable difficulty—(hear, hear)—for it was assuming a title before the house, which title parliament could not recognise.—(Hear, hear.) How ever much he should regret so doing, yet, if the question were pressed to a division, he (Lord J. Russell) must vote against the reception of the petition. The house divided, when there appeared—For receiving the petition, $2 ; against it 165 ; majority against accepting the petition, 83. TIT/Ili COMMUTATION. Mr. HODOZB wished to know from the noble lord, the Secretary for the Home Department, whether it was the in tention of any member of her Majesty's government to in troduce a bill into either house of parliament, for the amend ment of the tithe commutation act, with a view to remedy certain inconveniences which had arisen. Lord Jour( Rossini. said, it was the intention of the government to introduce a measure of the nature alluded to by the hon. gentleman. CHURCH LEASES. Mr. LAMBTON wished to ask the noble lord whether it was his intention, this session, to introduce any measure teasel. Itenoiders of that property could not, at present borrow money on that security, owing to the unsettled state of the question, and it was of importance that some measure should be enacted as speedily as possible. Lord JOHN RusszLL was fully aware of the importance of this subject ; but, from the many difficulties attendant on the subject, he should not be able to bring any measure on that subject forward during the present session, but early next session, he hoped to be able to submit to the house some measure on this subject. NATIONAL EDUCATION. Lord STAZILZY gave notice, that on the motion for this house going into committee of supply, he should move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying her Majesty to be graciously pleased to rescind the order in council of the 25th of April last, authorising the formation of a board for the superintendence of national education. Mr. G. W. WOOD brought up the report of the committee on public petitions. BANK OF IRELAND. Sir W. SOMERVILLE wished to know whether it was the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to introduce any measure during the present session, for the regulation of the system of banking in Ireland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was his in tention to bring in a bill on the subject adverted to by the hon. member, and he was now only waiting for an opportu nity of doing so. .Mr. O'CONNaLL wished to know whether the object of the bill would be to continue the present system of banking till 1842. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that was not the object of the bill. JAMAICA BILL. Sir R. PEEL said it might be convenient to all parties to state, that the sense of the house would be taken on the third reading of the Jamaica bill, in so far as the clause relating to permanent legislation went. Lord JORN RUSSELL : The motion would be to omit the whole of the first clause. Sir ROBERT PEEL : Yes. Mr. Bsaw.u. then brought up the report of the committee on the bill, which was ordered to be engrossed, and read a third time on Friday. CANADA. The order of the day was then read for resuming the ad journed debate on the resolutions relating to Canada. The SPEAKER having read the resolutions, Lord J. RUSSELL said hewould now ask leave to withdraw those resolutions, with the view of moving for leave to bring in a bill. Lord STANLEY said, that the objections which he had urged being confined to the mode in which it had been pro posed to approach the question of an union between the two provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, and being desirous of expressing no opinion as to the expediency and propriety of effecting such an union until they could see the details of the measure by which the government proposed to carry this, principle into operation, the noble lord also having with drawn what he (Ld. Stanley) conceived to be the most unwise and improper resolution, the purpose which he had in view was altogether answered. (Hear, hear, hear.) Ile was satisfied that it was desirable for the satisfaction of all parties in Upper and Lower Canada, that the views of the government should be made known as early and as distinctly as possible; and he only regretted, and regretted extremely, that the government had felt it impossible to introduce at present a permanent measure of legislation. As, however, it was the intention of the noble lord to introduce a measure prepared by the government, and to state the details by which they proposed to carry out their own policy, he felt that it was important that this should not he made a field for party conflict—(hear, hear)—and he was sure, that, what ever might be their views on what had passed, no partial dis cussion should take place, and least of all, that no topics of an irritating nature should be touched upon. He should now only say, that he should cautiously abstain from ex pressing any opinion on the subject until the house was in a condition to decide upon the merits of the measure about to be proposed by her majesty's government. The resolutions were then withdrawn. Lord J. Rustiest said, that he would now move for leave to bring in two bills upon this subject. The noble lord would state generally, that, while it was the opinion of the government that it would be most advantageous to the people of Canada that these two provinces should be united, they thought it would expose that union to great risk, and possi bly to failure in a few years, if they did not take every pos sible means to provide for legislation in Upper and Lower Canada, so that there should be no remaining topic of irrita tion. It was with this view that he proposed that the union should take effect, and that certain powers should be intrusted to the government and the governor of Lower Canada, in order to carry into effect some important changes. He had stated that there had been obstacles in the way of legislating for Lower Canada. Those obstacles it was proposed to re move ; and it was with this object that he intended to intro duce a bill to make temporary provision for the government of Lower Canada. This bill would be one to amend the act of the last session of parliament, entitled, " An act to make temporary provision for the government of Lower Canada." He should propose to repeal the clause in the act commonly known as Sir W. Follett's clause. There was likewise great inconvenience felt in consequence of the want of power to impose and continue local rates necessary to defray the ex penses of watching and lighting, and the repairs of roads, and for other local matters. He should likewise propose, that this bill should give a power to renew laws which had now expired. By the bill as it now stood, the power of the governor and special council would expire on the Ist day of ovember ' in 1840; and he pr o p ose d t o con ti nue th e p ower till March, 1842. He did not say that it was absolutely necessary to fix upon that period, and it was probable that before that time the measure of the government would be matured ; but he thought that it was, at all events, advisable not to legislate again on the subject. Of course, if the go vernment found that it was the general opinion of the pro vince that the assembly could be formed if parliament could prepare the necessary measures, the union would take effect earlier period. With regard to the other bill, which union of the two provinces of Upper and - would not attempt to pass it into a law session. The bill would provide, that strict formed at Montreal, at which place aid be carried on, and at which the as and it would also provide that Upper divided intq two districts, and that Lower at an earlier period. ' was a bill for the unit ' Lower Canada, they (~71 - (ip' . during the present t tr.- „:!,,iihere should be a dist 0 griil t ati: , ;`,"(' - thil government won (1 4 fi; .r.'" , - - . setahlv would meet, * 4. i. ~ '.--S L - 94.0 . ,h0ti1d be cliv r• / ; .. ,/•:.:`. ''''' AY,/ •fl i., - .'-' 1.; . 1--' Canada should also .be divided into two districts. It was also proposed that, in these districts, there should be formed municipal councils, who should have the power to levy rates and tolls for local purposes. With regard to the boundaries of the districts, it was proposed that the act by which they were fixed should be carried into effect by the imperial parliament, acting upon the first local information which could be obtained in the meanwhile. It was also proposed, that there should be a central district, and four other districts ; each of those to be again divided into nine smaller districts, and each of the subdivisions of the five principal districts to return two members or deputies to the assembly of the united province, so as to make 90 mem bers from the whole of those districts. In addition to those, it was proposed that each of the four principal towns in the united province should return two members, so as to make the whole body consist of 98 members. He believed that he had before stated the views of the government with regard to the legislative council, and in relation to the formation of the local legislatures, and he would not now repeat what he had then stated. Before going into any discussion on this im portant subject, it would be better that the house should see the bills which he proposed to introduce, when they would be in a more favourable condition to enter on the considera tion of the details. Without troubling the house further, therefore, he begged to move for leave to bring in a bill for uniting the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, and for settling the government of the united provinces. The question having been put, Sir ROBERT PEEL said, he fully agreed with the noble lord that it would be better to postpone the discussion on this sub ject till the bills to be brought forward by the government were before the house, and until such time as the house had ascertained the nature of the details by which the views of the government were to be carried into operation. Without wishing to provoke any discussion, he thought it would be better if the noble lord would explain the views of the go vernment with regard to the legislative council. Perhaps the noble lord would not object to make that explanation then, as it was highly desirable that the views of the government should be known as early as possible. He also wished to ask the noble lord whether it was proposed that the elective fran chise in the five districts, by which the municipal authorities to be constituted for local purposes were to be elected, was to be identical with the elective franchise to be grantedfor the election of members of the legislative assembly .of the United provinces. Lord J. RUSSELL, in reply to the first questidn, said it was not proposed that there should be any departure from the principle upon which the legislative council was at present constituted. The nomination of the members of that body was to remain in the crown, and it was intended that the council should be formed of such persons as had received some mark of confidence by employment or otherwise from the crown, or who were entitled to hold that situation from having been elected to serve in the assembly by the people. He ought also to mention, that it was proposed that the mem bers of the legislative council should not hold their appoint ments for life, but only for a period of eight years' duration. With respect to the second question, he had to state that the franchise for the election of the municipal authorities would be the same as the franchise for the election of the members of the assembly. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Sir R. PEEL wished to know whether at the end of the eight years for which the members of the legislative council were to be appointed, a power of re-appointment would be reserved to the crown. Lord J. RUSSELL replied, that a power to reappoint would be reserved to the crown.—Leave was then given to bring in the bill. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the act 1, Victoria, chapter 9, entitled " An act to make temporary provision for the government of Lower Canada." After a few words from Mr. C. BULLER and Sir C. GREY, leave was given to bring in the bill. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, the order of the day was then read for going into committee on the Im prisonment for Debt Act Amendment Bill. Mr. BAINES moved that it be an instruction to the com mittee to introduce clauses, the object of which would be to give insolvent debtors in the country the opportunity of tendering sureties in the places in which they were confined, instead of having them brought up to London at a great expense. The motion, which was seconded by the ATTORNEY-GE NERAL, was, fter a short conversation, agreed to. The house then went into committee on the bill, Mr. BERNAL in the chair.—The several clauses were agreed to, and the chairman reported progress.—The house resumed, and the report was ordered to be received on Friday. BILLS OF EXCHANGE BILL. The house resolved itself into committee on this bill. Se veral clauses were agreed to. Mr. BERNAL reported pro press, and the report was ordered to be received on Friday. The Registration of Electors (Scotland) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be reported. HIGH SHERIFFS' EXPENSES BILL. Col. DAVIES moved the third reading of the High Sheriffs' Expenses Bill. After a short conversation and a division, the bill was read a third time ; and on the question that the bill do pass, Mr. J. JERVIS moved an amendment on the first clause, that words be inserted to provide that the sheriff should not be required to provide a carriage for the judges. The clause, as amended, was agreed to. Mr. BARNEBY objected to the second clause, and would take the sense of the house upon it. The sheriffs had the power of appointing their own dependents as javelinmen, while they might call upon the county to pay and clothe those men, which he thought was not just. The house divided, when there appeared—For the clause, 36 ; against it, 17 ; majority, 19. The clause was then agreed to. - Lord J. RUSSELL moved the omission of the latter part of clause 4. The clause, as amended, was then agreed to, and the bill passed. THE POOR-LAW COMMISSION. Lord J. RUSSELL said, he wished to bring in two bills with regard to the Poor-law Amendment Act. He had al ready stated, that, at that period of the session, it was too late to enable him to introduce the measure which he had originally intended to bring forward, as it was likely to create considerable discussion both in the house and before the select committee. All, therefore, that at present he wished to do, was to extend the power of the poor-law commission ers for a year longer. He likewise wished to bring in a bill for amending the laws for the assessment and collection of rates for the relief of the poor, and for the collection of county, borough, and police rates. Great inconvenience ha 4 kftlLift l itYn'this respect which were vested in the overseers and in the guardians. It was his object, therefore, to make the system uniform by giving to the guardians the power of assessing and collecting the county rates, as well as the rates levied under the Poor-law Amendment Act. Mr. DARBY begged to know what was to be done with respect to the bastardy clause. Lord J. RUSSELL.—The subject will be provided for in the Summary Jurisdictions Bill. Leave was then given, and both bills were brought in ; and, being severally read a first time, were ordered to be read a second time on Friday next. The house then adjourned at one o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY. The royal assent was given, by commission, to several bills, chiefly private. Lord MELBOURNE, in answer to inquiry from Lord Brougham, said that he still entertained a hope that peace in the east would be preserved ; adding that no intelligence of any collision had been received, although affairs wore a more menacing attitude. The earl of HADDINGTON, a petition having been pre sented regarding the printing of the Bible in Scotland, asked, after the expiration of the existing patent, what course the government intended to pursue on this subject. Lord MELBOURNE repeated, what was heretofore stated in the commons by Lord. J. Russell, that arrangements would be made to secure the purity of the printing and its cheapness by means of a corporation constituted for that pur pose, consisting of the lord advocate, the moderator of the General Assembly, two divines, and two laymen of the church of Scotland, &c. _ _ The Marquis of NORMANBY (in answer to Lord Brougham's inquiry) said that the government had directed attention to the condition of those negroes who were unable to emigrate to places where ampler wages were to be procured ; but it was hoped that the local assemblies would be induced to revise their laws on the subject. Their lordships then adjourned till Monday. • HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. The," National Petition" was presented by Mr. T. Arr- WOOD. It prayed for universal suffrage, for the ballot, for annual Parliaments, for the remuneration of labour according to ancient practice (what does this mean ?) and lastly, for the abolition of property qualification for members of Parliament. The petition required ten men to lift it. It was ordered to be printed. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice, that the House would meet to-morrow in order to receive the report of the Committee of Privileges. NATIONAL BDUCATION. Then, at a little before 6 o'clock, after the presentation of several petitions, the debate began upon that most important of all subjects, the religious education of the people ; but al though the advocates for the Protestant church brought great ability, earnestness and temper to the discussion, the delicate nature of it, involving arguments more usually and appro priately discussed from the . pulpit than in any secular as sembly, prevented it from taking the sort of turn which most quickens and stimulates a debate. Lord STANLEY, on the question for the Speaker's leaving the chair to go into committee of supply, moved, by way of amendment, an address to Her Majesty, to revoke the order in council which appointed the committee of public education. He would meet the proposal of ministers, for a grant of mo ney to be applied under the authority of this last mentioned committee, by a direct opposition. He objected to intrust a body exclusively political with the entire control of the peo ple's moral and religious education. He might have moved a censure on the plan now pending ; but if he had done that, the plan would probably have been slipped away by ministers, as the former plan had been a fortnight ago. As long as this committee of council should be left, it would breed a succes sion of new schemes, all in violation of sound principle, and all bearing the mark of insufficient deliberation. Lord John Russell had declared the power to be best lodged with the official servants of the crown, acting as a committee of the Privy Council, and regulated by the opinion of parliament. In this view he could not concur: be could not think that a principle so important as that of national education ought to vary with every change of ministry. Still greater would be the danger if there should chance to be a government so weak as to be seeking the support of any half-dozen people, from any quarter, on any terms. Lord John had said that the board of education ought to enjoy the confidence of all re ligious denominations. Which of them would give confidence to this board ? Not the most numerous body, the church. Not the body next in numbers and in zeal, the Wesleyans. The petitions against the measure would inform the ministers of the universal disgust in which it was held. The clergy, the natural teachers of the people, were wholly excluded from control. That might be well enough if education were a matter merely temporal ; but such is not the view taken of it by the British constitution. Let your education, by all means, be free to all ; but let it, then, be free to the chutch to have her own children educated in her own faith, without the interferences proposed by you. Lord Althorp's system, which had been hitherto adopted, of grants for the National Schools, and grants for the British and Foreign Schools, had answered perfectly and without complaint; why change the sound principle of those grants, which was that the aids should be proportioned to the local subscriptions, and guarded by the condition that there should be funds provided to main tain the school when built ? Lord Stanley then stated in detail the amount of the past grants and the numbers of the children educated ; after which he proceeded to contrast with the merits of that practice the demerits of the scheme which had been just abandoned. But the abandonment, he said, had been a nominal and sham one ; the substituted proposal was equally objectionable, for the objection lay to the princi ple. They had not abandoned the substance of the plan, but only the defence of it. They had bowed to the storm that they might spring up again when it swept by. The money was now to be given, not, as before, to build schools, but to maintain them ; and this maintenance was to be coupled with a power of inspection, and of enforcing such improvements as the committee of privy council should from time to time suggest. Why, this was to give to that com mittee, its inspectors, and agents, the whole education of the people. The normal school was said to be abandoned. Not so ; ministers admitted that it was only postponed till there should be a greater co ncurrence of opinion among the peo ple, that is, till parliament should be prorogued, and ministers set at liberty from the immediate action of public opinion. " When you, the House of Commons," concluded the nob' e lord, " shall have consented to yield into their hands these large discretionary powers, it is very possible that the return for yielding them will be to use those very powers for the in troduction of a scheme which to your face they would not attempt to defend, but to which they still tenaciously cling. I feel that I have trespassed on your attention too long. I feel that I have very inadequately discharged the duty which I have thought it requisite to impose upon myself. (" No, no.") But I feel confident in the good feeling which animates the majority of the inhabitants of this country. I feel con fident that the majority—that the vast majority of the reli gious public of all denominations have already condemned this scheme and the counsel in which it originated ; that the hulk of the constituencies in this country have condemned and will still continue to condemn it; and I am not without hope that, yielding to the manifestation of public opinion, the majority of this house will not be found this night to sanction a scheme which has already been condemned—un equivocally condemned—by the religious public, and de nounced by the bulk of the constituences, which takes away from the legitimate authority of parliament the control which it ought to exercise over the education of the people, and vests in it an irresponsible jurisdiction—which separates the religious education of the Established Church from the su pervision of her authorized ministers, for which, if impro perly delegated to laymen, of whatever persuasion, you will have no ground for reproaching them (as they have already altered their scheme once) with changing its entire form and substance, if it so should please them, hereafter ; and which, if you do not repudiate at once, you will have lent your hands to the establishment, as I firmly believe, of a system which has a direct tendency to unsettle the minds of the young people of this country ; which will, however unjustly, induce a general belief that, in the mind of the legislature, an equal degree of authority is due to all versions of the Scriptures whatever, and, that it is a matter of perfect indifference in what creed the population of this country shall be brought up ; and finally, which by presenting before the eyes of our youth as of equal weight and equal authority matters which should be so carefully distinguished as distinct versions of the sacred writings, and essential differences in points of faith, would speedily sap the foundations of all faith, and, what constitutes in my estimation the strongest gr.Rund of objec tion to the measure, would gradually lead to general scepti cism, and from general scepticism to national infidelity." (The noble lord resumed his seat amidst loud cheers.) Lord MORPETH said, the amendment went the whole length of separating the education of the people from the su perintendence of the government. The hoard would not be irresponsible ; it was composed of removeable ministers, and they had shown, by the abandonment of the late plan, how fully they recognised their responsibility ; but still they did not think fit to exclude from the benefit of a national grant a large body of those who go to form the nation. If the state grants a fund, the state should have inspectors of its applica tion. Nor could the control have been properly partaken by churchmen. If a bishop of the church of England had been a member of the committee, the dissenters might have ex pected some leading divine of their own to be associated with him. The great object was to have more education. All parties had therefore been lukewarm, but he hailed their re viving efforts, and should gladly lend his aid to the great work of national atonement. Lord ASHLEY said, this new plan left to the ministers all the power which they professed to abandon in the old one. Nay, the old one was to be revived as soon as a greater con currence of opinion could be obtained. No difference had been pointed out : both were hostile to the constitution of England, to the Established Church, and to revealed religion. This, if done at all, should have been done, not through a mere vote of the Commons, but through a legislative mea sure partaken by the House of Lords, where alone the clergy are represented. A vote of the Commons might be better for the party purposes of the government ; but on what grounds of public good was it to be justified ? The effect of the scheme would be to deprive the church of its control in every case where the school had accepted a grant. Govern ment was now affirming a new principle, that every man had a right to be trained, at the expense of the state, in the faith wherein he was born. (Much cheering.) But why had not this been fairly avowed ? and besides, if such a principle were to prevail, why was it required that, in order to authorise a grant, the parties asking it should amount to a certain number ? (Lord John Russell, across the table, denied that he had cheered ; while Mr. S. Rice, who sat by him, seemed to adopt the principle which the cheer affirmed.) Far be it from me (continued Lord Ashley) to show up the differences which appear to exist between those two members of the Committee of Privy Council for Education ; but this I will show, that your plan is contrary to revealed religion—for instance, in your distinction between special and general re ligion, a distinctipn which does not truly exist. As Lord Ashley approached this theological part of the question some of the liberals began to laugh. ' I know not," said he, who those are that laugh at the most sacred topics of religion, nor whom they represent in this house ; but I am sure they do not represent the people of England." (Great cheering.) Lord Ashley then illustrated his argument, at some length, by Scriptural reasoning, and concluded by warning ministers that, even if they should carry the vote, it would be in re pugnance to the feelings of the country. Mr. HAWES made an uncivil and not very able attack on Lord Stanley, whom he accused of bitterness and uncharita bleness, and from whose speech:on the admission of Dissenters to the Universities he made a quotation, intended to convict Lord Stanley of inconsistency. The quotation, however, failed to make out the charge. The only material part of Mr. Hawes's speech was its conclusion, in which he pressed the importance of education as a means of diminishing crime, and showed how very large a proportion of all the metropo litan convicts (no fewer than 87 per centum) are unable even to read or write. Lord FRANCIS EGERTON said if he thought that, accord ing to the usages of that house a division could be obtained that night, after the speeches which had been delivered by the two noble lords at his side of the house, he would not at tempt any interference in the present discussion ; and he con fessed that even then he interfered with considerable reluct ance, because anything he could say would only weaken the effect of the speech of his noble friend near him. He might not, perhaps, attempt to vindicate that noble friend from what had been imputed to him, if it were possible that he could have the opportunity of defending himself. For his part, he did not wonder that the noble lord's speech had been entitled intensely unchristian ; for he was sure it had proved intensely inconvenient to the government, and intensely convincing to the house. (" Hear," from the opposition.) The hon. gen tleman, who had just sat down, had quoted from a former speech of that noble lord, but he believed that that noble lord had been misunderstood. He (Lord F. Egerton) had under stood the question upon which his noble friend's words had been used to have been, whether or not the dissenters should " " had been subjected to the test of subscribing to the 39 articles. tie mu „- prebend that it was the intention of his noble friend to sanction the admission of conflicting versions and imperfect translations of the Scriptures. He had understood his noble friend to argue that that house ought not to leave to the com mittee of the privy council the discretion of applying the grant of that house to what the honourable member for Lam beth called the system of national education. He was per fectly aware that the established church had just reasons to suspect the movements and the intentions of government. The Wesleyan dissenters participated in that feeling, and their remonstrance had been dictated by a calm examination of the danger with which the established church was threat ened. Whatever was the tendency of the resolution proposed, he had no doubt that the object of the government was to more widely disseminate the advantages of education ; but in their eagerness they had lost sight of danger to be appre hended from the substitution of moral and doctrinal poison for the sound and wholesome diet of the mind. The pro visions of the proposed measure would doubtless leave ample room and opportunity to resuscitate every evil which he believed the government was disposed to avoid. With the papers which were before the house there was no difficulty, according to his view of the subject, in determining what would be the effect of the measure of the government. In deed the ministers of the established church, altogether averse to agitation as they were, and ought to be, objected to it almost unanimously. To an opposition so steadfast, calm, and uncompromising the noble lord opposite (Lord John Russell) would in vain oppose himself and the weight of his colleagues—more particularly when that opposition proceeded not only from reverend persons appointed by the very whig administration that introduced the scheme. Long would it be before the anticipation of the noble lord would be accomplished. Long would it be before the noble lord could safely calculate upon that unanimity of feeling in the different classes of persons under instruction, which the minute of the privy council expected and contemplated. He sincerely be lieved that it would prove difficult to find among the respect able clergy a candidate for the chaplaincy of these normal schools. The subject had been so nearly exhausted by the noble lord the member for the west riding of Yorkshire, that perhaps, it would be the wiser course in him to close his ob servations by stating that it was his intention this night to give to the amended proposition of his noble friend his strong est support. The only other speakers were Sir Walter James in support of the address • and. Mr. Slaney in defence of th e m i n i s t er i a l scheme. An adjournment of the debate till Wednesday was, then, agreed upon. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—SATURDAY. The house met to-day, at three o'clock, to receive the re port of the committee on the proceedings in the case of Stockdale versus Hansard. On the motion of Lord Howlett, the report was brought up ; and the Clerk, at the urgent request of several members, read it to the house. Lord MAHoN hoped he would be in order when he stated, that the main question was put to the vote yesterday, and that in the minority would be found the names of the Solici tor-General, Lord John Russell, and. Sir Robert Peel. The report was then ordered to be taken into consideration on Monday. Sir It PEEL presumed, that the subject would have pre cedence of all other business. Lord J. RussELL—lt is a question of privilege, and win, therefore, have precedence of all other subjects.—The house then adjourned to Monday. THE MOORS.—Owing to the long prevalence of dry eas terly winds, the ling on the moors in this riding has become almost as combustible as touch-paper ; and we regret to learn, that there are persons sufficiently unprincipled to take advantage of this circumstance to set the ling on fire. This has been done on several of the moors, but more particularly on Rumblesmoor. The destruction of grouse is consequenty very great, as the broods are yet too small to get out of the way. The part of the moor which has suffered most is in the parish of Ilkley. A reward of £5O for the apprehension of the incendiaries has been offered, but hitherto without the desired effect.—Bradford Observer. THE WARRINGTON POOR LAW UNlON,—There. was a very full meeting of the gaurdians of this union. on Wednes day ; and a proposition from Mr, Power, the assistant com missioner, for adding the townships of Latchford, Grappen hall, and Thelwall, to the union, came under consideration. The guardians present were of opinion that such a step would be inadvisable, as they consider e d th e f ur th er ex t ens i o n of the union would involve the various townships of which it is comprised in the expense attending the erection of an addi tional workhouse. They afterwards expressed their willing. ness to have a separate union formed of the townships of Warrington, and such parts of Latchford and Thelwall as came within the parliamentary boundary, and to let another union be formed at Newton, which would include Winwick, and the twelve other townships now belonging to Warrington and also take in Culcheth, now a part of the Leigh union. MILITARY MOVEMENTS.—There have been several move ments within the last two or three days, amongst the troops in this town and neighbourhood, and more may be shortly expected.—On Thursday morning the staff and the flank companies of the 86th regiment, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Sir Michael Creagh, which had occupied the Stockport barracks for fifteen months, left that town for Manchester, and returned, we believe, to their old quarters, the infantry barracks, Regent-road. We understand that the regiment is expected to leave this town for Dublin; in September. The staff and the flank companies of the 20th regiment infantry left this town on the same day, to take the place of the 86th, at Stockport. Preparations are making at Ashton, for the accommodati on o f a b o d y o f t roops . Th e Dukinfield New Mill" has been taken, and is now•being fitted up as barracks, with accommodation for six hundred infantry, and a squadron of cavalry. It is expected that, as soon as these barracks are completed, the 10th regiment of infantry (of which four companies are now at Ashton, the head quarters of the regiment being in this town) will occupy them. The following is the distribution of the officers of the 20th :—Head quarters at Stockport—Major Hutchinson, Captain Campbell and Barker, Mr. Crofton, Mr. Vivian, Lord Mark Kerr, Mr, Crespigny, Mr. Baring, Capt. South, Mr. Griffith, Mr. Conolly, Mr. Crawley. At Ashton — Major M`Lean, Captain Dodgin, Crotd; Barlow, Murray, and Newman ; Mr. Day, Mr. Hennessy, Mr. Steevens, Mr. Masterson. At Rochdale—Major Smith, Captain Horn, Mr. Crampton, Mr. De Crespigny. Manchester Guardian. INQUEST ON A LIVING MAN. On Wednesday last a highly respectable jury met at the Ship Inn, Bank Quay, Warrington, to inquire touching the death of John Cole, the son of the builder of the wooden bridge at Warrington, which formerly united the counties of Cheshire and Lancashire, but which, has latterly been re placed by a more substantial erection. John Foden deposed that he resided at Latchford. On Monday morning, at a few minutes past 10 o'clock, he was going down the river Mersey. When opposite the Six Acre Field (rather below the Grand Junction Railway bridge,) he saw the body of a man in the river, about a dozen yards from the edge of the bank. Witness got assistance ; and, after fastening a rope to the body, towed it to Bank Quay, where it was taken out, and deposited in Mr. Crosfield's soapery. The deceased had a carpet bag tied to his neck, by his necker hief and a piece of cord. Witness had to cut both the string and the neckerchief to get it away. The neckcloth was white. Deceased had on a white shirt, drab trousers, flannel shirt, cotton drawers, and stockings, but no shoes, and he was without coat or waistcoat. Witness afterwards saw the carpet bag opened. In the bottom of it were three stones, a towel, and a bit of linen rag. Deceased had a penknife in his left hand trousers pocket. [The knife was produced ; it had double blades, with buck-horn handle, and was made by Rodgers, of Sheffield.] The deceased was a tall, broad shouldered man ; he seemed to have black hair, and was a little bald on the top of the head. . Witness thought he had been some time in the water ; his features were disfigured. He believed he saw the same man, alive, that day fortnight, at the Packet House, Warrington. He would have soon " sanded" in the spot where witness found him. The stones were not a great weight, but enough to sink a man when the bag got full of water. Mary Bevan, the wife of George Bevan, stone-mason, of Latchford, deposed that she had seen the body of the de ceased, on Monday evening, at the soapery. She knew it to be the body of John Cole, of Chester, and had no doubt about it. Witness saw him alive on uesday week, the 4th instant. He called at her house. He did not appear to have any money. Witness asked him if he would have any thing to eat ; he said he could not eat ; and she took him to the Bridge Inn, and treated him to some porter. She tasted it, and then, putting three halfpence into his hand, left him there. He had on a surtout, drab trousers, white shirt, and a dark stock. Witness knew him when he was at the Ches ter House of Industry, of which his brother was the governor. She asked him how be managed to get out, when he said he had a key of the outer door as well as his brother, and that he had got away unknown to the inmates. [The key was produced : it had been found at some lodgings, in which John Cole had slept, in Warrington.] Deceased was much given to " sprees" and drunken habits, and sometimes left his family for several weeks at a stretch. Deceased had no carpet bag with him. She again repeated that she had no doubt the deceased was the man who called upon her ; she had not seen him - alive since that day. Mr. Jones, the active deputy-constable of _Warrington, here intimated that he was quite positive the deceased was John Cole, as, in addition to other circumstances, he had learnt that he (Cole) had pledged his coat and waistcoat at Mr. Jones's the pawnbroker, and the deceased had no coat or waistcoat on when found. Cole, also, had not been seen at his lodgings in Warrington since about the time the de ceased might be supposed to have drowned himself. He also knew that Cole had previously been in the habit of using the Packet House. The Coroner said that, although there was little doubt of the deceased being John Cole, it would be as well for the coat and waistcoat pledged to be produced to the jury, and also for -the pawnbroker and the lodging-house-keeper to attend, as they might be able to give some account of the state of the deceased's mind. _ Douglas, a police-constable, was accordingly despatched to summon the two witnesses ; and, in the meantime, the coroner proceeded to the examination of those already in attendance. _ _ _ John Samuel Hall, an excise officer, spoke to the fact of his having seen the deceased with a carpet-bag so late as half past six o'clock on the evening of Wednesday. Witness was in a boat on the Mersey, and saw the deceased walking on the banks of the Cheshire shore, near where the body was found. He had on a black hat, drab trowsers, and appeared about 5 feet 6 inches, or 6 feet high. Witness turned the boat about, and left the deceased walking there. Mr. Cole, the governor of the House of Industry at Ches ter, stated, that his brother John left him on the Saturday after Chester races, and had let himself out of the house by means of a key which had been taken from a desk in his office. The key produced was the same his brother had so taken. Witness had seen the body ; but decomposition had taken place so much as to prevent his clearly identifying the features. The stock found in the carpet-bag he was quite positive belonged to his brother, and was what he was wear ing at the time he left Chester. The next witness entered the jury-room rather unexpect edly—it was no other than John Cole, the man on whom the coroner and jury had been led to believe they were holding the inquest upon. Douglas, the policeman, who had been sent to the pawnbroker's for the coat and waistcoat, had found him sitting very quietly upon the stone in the Fish Market, and had rather surprised him by the announcement of a coroner's inquest then holding on view of his body. The coroner (addressing the supposed dead man) : Is your name John Cole, and is this (pointing to Mr. Cole, the wit ness) your brother ? John Cole : Yes. The Coroner : Well, do you know we are holding an in quest upon you ? John Cole : So I am given to understand, sir ; and accor dingly I have thought it requisite to come here, just to show you that I am still alive. The meeting of the two brothers ; the dismay of the wit nesses ; the surprise of Mr. Jones, the deputy constable, and the amazement of the coroner and jury, may be imagined— such a thing has never before happened in the course of a very long experience, by Mr. Heyes, of the duties of coroner. Mr. Litton, the foreman of the jury, on whom John Cole called on Thursday last, had some doubts (when be viewed the body) on his mind as to whether the man found in the river was really John Cole •, but, recollecting that Cole had a bad leg, he caused the stocking of the deceased to be ripped up, and found a wound in the precise place the wound in Coles's leg (as was afterwards demonstrated to the jury) was ! The proceedings were again commenced, the jury being sworn to inquire touching the death of a man unknown, when a verdict of " Found drowned" was returned. John Cole's brothers, who are highly respectable men, were so satisfied of the deceased belonging to their family, that th.,- I-. ---•"^",...."*. for his interment at St. P au l' Church—an order which they, ut manded, and the deceased was buried at the expense of parish. John Cole accounted for his absence from Warring ton, by stating that his money was all gone, and that, being ashamed to go home, he had been wandering in the fields in search of work. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER. — There was a fair demand for yarn yester day, and a considerable amount of business would probably have been done if the spinners had been disposed to accept previous prices ; but, as they generally demanded a slight advance, the actual business done was by no means in pro portion to the extent of the inquiry. In some few articles, and especially in inferior qualities, and low numbers of'mule yarn, a slight advance is realised ; but, in other descriptions, the prices paid were about the same as on Tuesday last. There was very little demand for goods of any description, and the market was certainly not improved by the knowledge of the fact, that the Stalybridge manufacturers had resumed full time, or by some rumour of failures ; one of which, in deed, was publicly announced, but we understand it is not to any serious extent. —Manchester Guardian. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 10.— There has been rather a better feeling in the market to-day, and buyers have purchased more freely ; but there is no de cided improvement in the prices. The wool market has un dergone no change since last Monday.—lbid. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JUNE 11.—The market to-day was much the same as last week, which leaves no room for particular observation ; the chief demand being in heavy goods for exportation, and other articles of a general descrip tion. Prices remain on the whole pretty firm in consequence of the advance of foreign wools. Stocks, too, are very low, especially in goods that are most in request. Light fancy woollens and waistcoatings are in steady demand. The warehouses continue doing a fair business.—lbid. LEEDS.—The improvement in our cloth markets, which we noticed last week, continues, and on both Saturday and Tuesday the sales in the Halls were brisk. This change in the state of our local markets is the effect of two principal causes, first, the satisfactory nature of the accounts from America • and, secondly, the intelligence from the German wool markets; to the effect, that at the great Breslaw fair, the foreign buyers offered 3d per lb. advance on the prices of last year, a course which did not seem warranted by the pre - !' vious state of trade in England. BRADFORD MARKET. I- -The demand for manufactured goods here on Thursday was somewhat dull—considerably less than usual at this season—but previous rates were main tained. In the yarn market also there was less business done, the manufacturers being unwilling or unable to give such prices as were commensurate with the cost of the raw material. The market for long wool was very inactive, that description being in little' request, but in short wool, of which the supply is limited, there was a'fair business transacted at previous rates. _ _ _ YORK WOOL MARKET, 'JUNE 13.—N0 life in the trade, a moderate supply, a large number of buyers, yet notwith standing, the transactions of the day have been lingering and feverish, at this hour, five o'clock, P.M., several lots on the stand unsold, and several other lots warehoused for another market, and those which have found takers sold at prices rather tending downwards upon our last week's reports. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JUNE 14. There is an improved demand for all long Wools, especially in the lighter and finer descriptions, and sales have been effected to a limited extent at former prices. Short Wools and Noils are becoming scarce, and fully maintain last week's prices. WOOL MARKET, EAST RETFORD, JUNE H.—The clip ping season is now considerably more than half over, so that we are enabled to speak definitely both as to the quality and quantity of wool of the present year's produce, As regards quantity, the clip is considered to he above an average one, though, perhaps, the weight may come rather short of what it is in some years, in proportion to the bulk; this fact, there fore, decides the question of quality, which is exceedingly sound, well grown, and therefore considerably better for use than the clip of he previous year. Some of the fanners, however, complain that the colour is not quite so good, which is mainly to be attributed to the dry and dusty weather which has prevailed during the greater part of the winter and spring. At the present time it would be next to an im possibility to quote any prices which might be depended upon, as little, or none of any consequence, has yet been sold, and, we believe, few or no buyers have yet visited the neighbourhood. BARNSLEY.—We are sorry to state, that the linen trade of this place continues to grow worse. There is little doing, either for foreign or home consumption. The manufacturers continue to reduce the number of their weavers. SADDLEWORTIL—TI;;;;OiIen cloth trade - is rather slack; tweeds have fallen off very much within the last few weeks ; the profits upon most descriptions of woollen goods are next to nothing, and manufacturers complain very much of the high prices of the raw material. There are rather better prospects for the export trade, the last accounts from Ame rica being more cheering ; yet the hands on an average have not more than five days work per week. The " Queenite agitation" seems to have pretty well sub sided ; and we do not recollect that in a single county or in a populous borough throughout England and Wales, except Southwark, has an address been carried at a public meeting. There have been numerous exhibitions of loyal and anti-tory feelings, but on a small scale—nothing can be called a popu lar movement ' • and most of those addresses which have been sent up to the Throne carried on their face evidence of being the offispring of delusion and fraud—nearly all assuming that the tory leaders have behaved to the Queen with " disloyal insolence. ' In tories, this would be pronounced " fudge ;" in whigs and liberals, it is unprincipled truckling and mean dishonesty. —Spectator. NEW METHOD OF FINING WINE. — On Monday, at Marl borough -street police office, Mr. Richard Webb, wine mer chant, of the Haymarket, London, was summoned to appear under the act, for preventing obstructions on the foot pavement." It appeared that Mr. Webb had been getti into his vaults eight butts of sherry ; and although only 20 minutes had been occupied in accomplishing this task, yet, through the ignorance of the carmen, three of the butts were upon the pavement at one time. This did not escape the Ar gus eyes of an informer, and the witty magistrate who pre sided said he was left no alternative but to fine the wine ; and ordered the wine merchant to pay two soveteigns, which the latter did with great good humour, saying that "after such finings, he could conscientiously recommend the wine to his customers as good coloured sherry." - THE ARCHIMEDES STEAM VESSEL. Since the melancholy accident which occurred on board this vessel on Thursday, the 30th ult., the public attention has been much directed to the probable result of the inven tion of the new Archimedean propelling screw, an erroneous impression having gone abroad that the newly-invented pro pellers had been the cause of the accident. A number of distinguished patrons of science and eminent engineers have visited the vessel during the last few days, and the machinery and new propellers were examined with great minuteness, both with respect to the cause which led to the bursting of the boiler, and the probability of the propelling screw entirely superseding the present cumbrous and dangerous paddle wheels. Amongst the visitors was the Earl of Dun donald, who expressed his unbounded admiration of the invention, and his thorough conviction that it would establish a new era in the science of steam navigation, get rid of the swell which causes so many accidents in our rivers, and would also prove extremely advantageous for warlike pur poles, while to our commercial transactions it offered the means of speedy transit in the longest voyages that could be made, the steam power and propeller being merely used as auxiliaries in case of the wind not being favourable. The eatl also expressed his particular admiration of the vessel itself, which is one of the most beautiful models ever seen on the Thames. Sir Robt. Seppings, the great naval archi teet, who was present at the inspection, expressed to Mr. Wimshurst, of Limehouse, the builder of the vessel, an opinion that she was the finest model he had yet seen, and that the beauty of her water lines were as yet unriv alled. Captain Minter, the master of the Archimedes, an old and experienced master of steamers, bore testimony to her sailing qualities during the two trips she had made to Portsmouth and Margate, when the power of the new Archimedian screw or propeller was fairly tried, and with the most complete success, the vessel making 101 knots an hour against a head wind and heavy sea. The Archimedes is in appearance like a pleasure yacht ; there are no paddle boxes, or anything to indicate that she was propelled by steam, except her funnel, rising from her deck among the rigging. The propeller works under the stern of the vessel in a well cut in the dead wood, and can be removed at pleasure when the wind is favourable for sailing. The propeller is made of iron, and describes a diameter of 61 feet in its revolution, and its power in propelling the vessel is two-thirds greater than the most powerful paddles of the common description ; but, owing to the shaft of the engine working so low down in the vessel in a longitudinal position, one-half the power of the present engines, which are of 45-horse power each, is lost, owing to the necessary complication of the machinery. It is proposed to use the rotatory engines, by which a great saving of power will be effected, and which are believed to be better adapted to the new invention. When fitted with those engines there is no doubt that a railway pace will be realized by the Archimedes. On Monday the valves of the boiler were taken to pieces by Mr. Smith, the patentee of the new propelling screw, in the presence of Mr. Miller, foreman to Messrs. Rennie and Co., the engineers. The result of the investigation was sa tisfactory as to the real cause of the late unfortunate occur rence, that if the valves had been in action at the time of the explosion of the boiler must have burst at a pressure not ex ceeding 61b and a third on the square inch. It will be scarcely possible to believe that the boiler could have burst at such a pressure, and the inference then was that the valves had stuck ; and this could only be attributed to the weakness of the boiler, which, not being sufficiently stayed, lost its shape, and in consequence caused the valves to become deranged. It is worthy of remark that this is the first marine boiler made by Messrs. Rennie. It was constructed on a new prin ciple, by which a larger surface of iron was at once presented to the fire, and more steam generated. There was but one opinion among the practical men present as to the weakness of the boiler, which is attributed to its form and great size. The company are determined to remove the boiler, and have nothing more to do with it. Mr. Smith declared that the vessel should not go out again with the boiler. It is intended to substitute other boilers of the ordinary construction. When the new boilers are put in, it is intended to send her to America, on an experimental trip. • During her last voyage she excited great attention—a steamer without paddle-wheels, and causing no swell, surprised every one on the river ; and since she has been in the East India Dock she has been visited by a great number of persons. SIR ROBERT PEEL. The Salford Operative Conservative Association a few days since forwarded an address, to which were appended 1200 names, to Sir Robert Peel, thanking him for his conduct in the transactions respecting the ministry, which will never be forgotten. During the week the following reply has been received from the right hon. baronet : London, June 6, 1839. Sir,—l have this day had the honour of receiving the ad dress signed by betwixt 900 and 1000 members of the Salford Operative Conservative Association, and I beg leave to as sure the parties to this address, that the expressions of esteem and confidence which it contains have given me sin cere satisfaction. From my early connexion with Manchester and its neigh bourhood, I have peculiar gratification in acknowledging a mark of respect and good-will from those whom I cannot consider in the light of strangers.—l have the honour to be, sir, your faithful and obedient servant, ROBERT PEEL, To Wm. Jenkinson, Esq., Marlborough-square, Salford. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. There is no truth in the alleged intention of Mr. Goring to retire from the representation of Shoreham. Ministerial paper. REPRESENTATION OF HULL.—Mr. James. Clay, who, at the last general election, was a candidate for Beverley, has accepted the invitation to be the second reform candidate for this borough.—Hull Observer. An opposition to Lord Fitzalan at the next election for Arundel, is confidently spoken of. So much for his Grace's meddling with the representation of the Rape.—Brighton Gazette. We have already stated that a Conservative candidate.will be brought forward at the next election in opposition to Cap tain Winnington, and we believe we are correct in stating that it will be Lord William Frederick, second son of the Marquis of Downshire.—Worcester Journal. A requisition has been drawn up, soliciting Mr. Roy, of the eminent firm of Roy, Blunt, and Roy, of Great George 4, „ans. --A:an+. ur a Va cancy in the representation of the borough, The requisition is confined to no political party, there being found among the names both Whigs and Tories, and not a few of the chief sup porters of the present member. The requisition has already received the signatures of upwards of 200 persons ; and about as many more have pledged themselves to support him in the event of his coming for vard.—Cheltenham Chronicle. REPRESENTATION OF GLASGOW.—We are authorised to state that Lord William Bentinck has made arrangements to resign his seat for the representation of Glasgow, on account of continued bad health. We likewise understand that Mr. Oswald has been prevailed upon by the Liberal party to allow himself to be put in nomination as Lord William's successor. Mr. Roebuck, who it was thought would be brought forward by a portion of the electors, has written to some of his friends in town, stating that, in the event of Mr. Oswald standing for the representation of Glasgow, he will not think of offer ing any opposition to him.—Glasgow Chronicle. A requisition has been in course of signature during the last week calling upon Col. George Wyndham to allow him self to be put in nomination for West Sussex.—Brighton Ga zette. REPRESENTATION OF SHREWSBURY.—We learn, from a source likely to be well informed, that Lord Dungannon will consent to be put in nomination for Shrewsbury at the next general election, in oppssition either to Mr. Slaney, the pre sent unpopular hig member, or any other Ministerialist who may offer himself.— Ten Towns Messenger. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH DURHAM.—The only ques tion is, whether two staunch conservatives . shall not be at once brought into the field. The noble beginning of the Darlington conservatives will have a great effect on the divi sion. Auckland, Barnard Castle, and Weardale cannot but follow so glorious an example. Stockton is already pre pared. We would only say, let no time be lost.—Durham Advertiser. DUMFRIES BURGHS.—It is rumoured that General Sharpe is about to retire [from the representation of the Dumfries burghs, and a canvass has been commenced by the friends of Sir Alexander Johnston, of Carsalloch, who is expected to come forward on the Liberal interest. The Radicals, how ever, are in favour of Mr. Ewart, the present member for Wigan. The Conservative pasty are looking towards Lord W. Keith Douglas.—Scotsman. REPRESENTATION OF ABERDEEN.—Mr. Bannerman ar rived here yesterday morning in the mail from Edinburgh. The current rumour is that the honourable gentleman has accepted a place under government (a life appointment, with a large salary) as the reward of the services he has rendered them during a seven years' apprenticeship. It is further be lieved that this office is one which cannot be held with a seat in parliament, and that the immediate object of Mr. Banner man's visit to his constituents is to solicit their interest in favour of Sir Michael Bruce, as the ministerial candidate. We have to add, per contra, that in the event of a vacancy, Mr. Ross, of Rossie, comes forward with the unanimous sup port of the conservative electors.—Aberdeen Constitutional. COUNTY OF MID-LOTHIAN.—The county of Mid-Lothian is now in a fair way of being rescued from the grasp of the whigs, who contrived, by means which we will not stop to characterise, to usurp the representation of it at the last election. Our readers will see our reasons for drawing this inference, in a requisition to Mr. Ramsay, of Barton, calling upon him to come forward as a candidate, in the event of a dissolution of parliament, and signed by nearly seven hundred of the most respectable and influential electors in the county. This splendid array of names is at once a pledge of success, and an honourable testimony to the high esteem in which Mr. Ramsay is held by the general constituency of the county. They express themselves as having the fullest con fidence in his.political principles, as well as in his fitness and ability to represent their opinions and watch over their inter ests in parliament. Another indication of his success may be drawn from the fact, that among his requisitionists are a good many who voted last year for the present member, but who are now utterly disgusted with the humbug and hypocrisy of whig pretensions. A third symptom that a triumph awaits the conservative candidate, is the exceeding bitterness and low scurrility with which Mr. Ramsay and his friends have been assailed in the columns of our whig-radical contempo raries.—Edinburgh Advertiser. The parties who within the last two or three days are said to have had their bills thrown out by the Bank of England, because the said bills bore the indorsements of certain country joint-stock banks, have at le as t th e com f ort and c onsolation of knowing that they ha ve j us t now very distin. . guished companions misfortune—namely, the ministers of her most gracious Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, who, for two or three years past, have had nearly all their bills thrown out or dishonoured. The course pursued by the bank directors is complained of, and, perhaps, with reason, as tending to shake public credit'and confidence ; but the same cannot be said of those " lame ducks," the Queen's ministers, for the simple reason that they never had any credit to lose.—Herald. FUNERAL OF SIR HERBERT TAYLOR.—The mortal re mains of Sir Herbert Taylor were landed at St. Katherine's Docks, on Tuesday last, from a government steamer, in which they had been brought from Italy, where, as our read ers are. aware, Sir Herbert breathed his last. The body was enclosed in a coffin covered with crimson velvet, and imme diately qn being landed was placed in a hearse drawn by four horses, and conveyed to St. Katherine's Church, in the Re gent's Park. followed by the attendants in a mourning coach and four. It was then laid on trestles in the body of the church, where it remained until yesterday, when the cere mony of interment was performed. No public announcement of the intended funeral having transpired, the spectators were comparatively but few. There was, however, a numerous attendance of the personal friends of the deceased. Among the most distinguished were his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquises of Camden and Ely, Lord Hill, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Lord Byron, Lord Francis Egerton, Sir William Clinton, and upwards of 100 noblemen and gentlemen. The body was deposited in one of the vaults under the-church with the usual solemnities. Sir Herbert Taylor had served in the army. and was one of those officers who accompanied the expedition under the late Duke of York in the early part of the French war. At a later period he was better known as the confidential servant of the sovereign, to whose interests he was faithfullynttached ; but at all periods he was recognised as an honourable and bene volent man, and, though not exempted from the detractions of political rancour and personal envy, few men have ever risen so high with so unblemished a reputation.—Herald.

We give up.—Picayune. HOLYHEAD.—This place has not been visited for several years by such a terrific thunder-storm as the one that oc curred on Thursday last. During the whole of the forenoon the lightning and thunder were awful, accompanied by a stormy gale from the eastward, and heavy falls of rain ; but fortunately no damage was done. DEATH OF THE HON. GEORGE TALBOT.—It is with deep regret we announce the demise of the above gentleman, which took place on Tuesday last. The late hon. gentle man was heir presumptive of the Earl of Shrewsbury, and married, in 1829, a daughter of Sir Horace St. Paul, Bart., by whom he leaves issue a young family.—Herald. - - - GAMEKEEPER SHOT.—On Tuesday, as two of Mr. Hop wood's gamekeepers were on duty at Hopwood, in passing a gap in a hedge, the gun of one of them, named Taylor, went off, and lodged the shot of pellets near the groin of the other, who was named Howarth. The wounded man was taken care of, and is likely to be better, though the wound is of a serious description. DEATH OF PRINCE BORGHESE.—lntelligence has just reached us of the death of the above distinguished Italian nobleman, at his palace at Rome. Prince Sulmonia succeeds his illustrious parent in his titles and riches. The present prince, as will be recollected by a considerable portion of our readers, married the Lady Gwendaline Catherine Talbot, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, and sister of the Princess Doria Pamphilli, in 1835. Loss OF LIFE BY FIRE-ARMS.—Another example of the improvidence of placing loaded guns within the reach of children, has this week occurred in the neighbourhood of Abermule, Montgomeryshire, by which a child of Richard Gough, four or five years of age, was shot. It appears that the gun was placed upon a kiln, when two children, who were playing, found it, and in the course of a few seconds the gun went off, dreadfully lacerating the arm and face of one of them. It was thought that its life might have been saved by amputation ; but, prior to the operation, the poor child died. We perceive that the Rev. T. P. Pope, the controversialist, is about to fulfil the promise he made the public at the time of the last discussion between Gregg and Maguire. He is about publishing a volume containing the several misquota tions from the Fathers which Father Maguire adduced at the former discussion, and by which he was enabled to make the appearance of a stand. The work is likely to be a most valuable one.—Limerick Standard. •OPENING OF TIIE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—In the course of a week or ten days the genius of steam, with all its attendant cogs and fly-wheels and cylinders, will be in full operation between Romford and the metropolis, whisk ing the good people to and fro, and pouring the wheat and the oxen, ay, and the calves of Essex, into the lap of Lon don. The line, in fact, will be opened to the public gene rally on the 20th instant from the temporary station in De vonshire-street, near the Mile-end turnpike, to Barrack lane. Romford ; but the formal opening will take place on the 18th, when the directors, accompanied by many of the nobility, and a large party of the friends of the undertaking, will give it what we in the country call " a hansel."—Essex Herald. RECIPROCAL LIBERALITY.—On Sunday week two sermons were preached at the new church, Rawtenstall, near Bury, in support of the Sunday schools recently established there. The Rev. Hugh Allen, of St. John's, Bury, made an eloquent appeal for support of the children of the poor, and £5O were collected, being £l5 more than was obtained at the opening of the schools last year. The old connexion of the Wesleyan Methodists showed their sympathy on this occasion, by closing their place of worship, that the congregation might give their aid to so laudable an object; and, in return, the Rev. Mr. Whitworth, the worthy pastor of Rawtenstall, sus pended the service at the new church, on Sunday last, to give his flock an opportunity to attend the sermon preached for the benefit of the schools founded by the Wes leyan Methodists. " Righteousness and peace kiss each other." SWISS PRINTED CALICOES. But few persons, except those immediately concerned in the transactions. can form any idea of the extent to which this business is conducted even in Manchester. The goods, however, are mainly, if not entirely for export. By the warehousing act, it is well known that any foreign produce or manufacture may be warehoused in London, &c., without paying duty, if again reshipped. The Swiss are now thus warehousing their prints. A short time ago an agent offered, by pattern of course, some thousand pieces to one of the Manchester export firms, and who took every piece offered to them. Great indeed 1.. 41.. ...,.nuence in thot,o cor,iguers, when such heavy transactions can be thus silently, satisfactorily, and efficiently conducted, without the goods ever seeing the light. DANGEROUS FAMILIARITY.—OR Tuesday afternoon, an accident occurred in the Surry Zoological Gardens. A policeman, named Michael Maddigan, of the P division, who was on duty in the gardens, approached the den in which a large polar bear is kept, and, placing one of his arms within the iron bars, began to stroke down the animal's head. Bruin, however, not relishing such a degree of intimacy, seized the policeman's hand between his paws, and gave him such a squeeze as to make him cry aloud for help. Mr. Cross ran to the spot, and, finding that the bear still firm kept hold of Maddigan's hand, instantly threw a large bone into the cage, and the bear relinquished his grasp, and seized upon the bone. The policeman's hand was found to be dreadfully lacerated, and he was sent to the hospital. THE DUBLIN REGISTRATION.—The Central Conservative Registration Committee have furnished a tabular statement for the information of Conservative friends, showing the ex act position of each party up to the evening of Saturday, the Bth inst., at the city registry now going on. From this table it appears that 547 Conservative voters were brought up from the 6th of May to the Bth of June-9 were rejected -367 re-registered-6 stand for decision-160 registered under the new, and 367 under the old registry. It also appears that 446 Radicals were brought up from the same period-25 re jected-199 re-registered-23 stand-205 registered under the old—and 199 under the new. Conservatives have a majority this sessions on the re-registry of the original constituency, created under the Reform Bill in 1832, of 168. The great struggle now between the two parties is to re-est a bli s h it s original constituency, now near expiring, created unde r th e Reform Bill in 1832, and it has become a striking exempli fication of the soundness and stability of honest Conservative legislation, as compared with a constituency mainly created by fraud and perjury in 1832. The true position of Mr. O'Connell, who lately declared to his committee, in West moreland-street, " that he would return to Kilkenny, stick to Kilkenny, and not again stand for Dublin," may be read in the following statement :—At the general election in 1832, when the constituency of Dublin amounted to 6908, he had a majority of 1574 over the conservative candidate. In 1835 with a constituency of 7114, he had a majority of 223 only. In 1837, with a constituency of 11,406, a nominal and fictiti ous majority of 95. The defeat of the honorable gentleman, if he again tries his hand in Dublin, will be certain. It would be worth a dissolution to send him to the " smart roving blades of Kilkenny." A NICE JOB FOR LORD NUGENT.—We hope that some individual, of genius equal to the task, will o f ccupy the va cation with writing the history of the cabinet achievements during the session. Without any desire to prejudice the question, and with quite as little to prejudice the claims of other aspirants, we think that Lord Nugent should be the man. His lordship has so long retired from the tumults of public life, that his name would start upon the world with some freshness. His style, ponderous as himself, would add weight to any subject ; and his feelings, capable of being ut tered in no language but his own, alternately maudlin and mistified, would mingle the due degree of solemnity with the rather too exuberant gaieties of the bedchamber ministry.— His lordship's whiggism might flame out in panegyric on the Roman fortitude with which the premier clings to his place, and the romantic self-denial with which his subordinate lord lings forego their own principles, and declare themselves ready to steer to any point of the compass in submission to his lordship, and their hope of salary. The more than French facility with which Lord Normanby smiles in Mr. O'Connell's face in Ireland, and sneers at him when the breadth of Eng land lies between, would make a capital chapter ; and the mixture of the Jesuit and the Jew, the happy melange of craft and covetousness, which makes Spring Rice fit for a trea surer in any land, from Algiers to Japan, under the govern ment of any pacha or Tartar alive, would furnish a subject which Lord Nugent's well known skill in sketching could not suffer to escape. We feel that his lordship will thank us for providing for the leisure hours of a whig out of place. The ex-Governor of Zante certainly ought to have some " plums to pick ;" and if he cannot gather grapes from the treasury thistles, we wish him to prosper in attacks and albums.— The Britannia. THE CHARTISTS.—The first number of a periodical paper was issued at Heywood, on Thursday, the 6th instant, con taining two articles, the one entitled "An address to the friends of liberty," and signed Thomas Grimshaw •, the other, " The Convention," and signed Job Plant. Both these in dividuals have become conspicuous in that neighbourhood as chartist agitators ; but it appears they have now found out their mistake. Grimshaw complains that the " money hunting radicals at Bury wish to crush him as an individual, because he will not acquiesce in the corrupt and sinister mo tives of professing friends to liberty, or the procrastinating, tergiversating, and pusillanimous proceedings of the national convention.' Job Plant is still more angry at his former as sociates, and calls them " knaves who are seeking their indi vidual advantage, and unworthy of the people's confidence." He divides his subject into three heads—" the character of the delegates—the trust reposed in them—and lastly, their conduct and measures." He says, " When the delegates first met in London, they had a public dinner ; they broke u p a t eleven o'clock at night ; and after that, there was drinking and dancing till a late hour in the morning, whilst those who sent them were literally starving. Such conduct developes the dissolute and reckless character of men who could thus wanton in the life's blood of the people. It is manifest that the selfish part of the convention were numerous, hence their horse-leach cry ' Give, give ! ' to the national rent. Who but greedy men could waste the people's money by riding in cabs through London streets to public meetings, and call for liberal supplies in addition to liberal pay when agitating ? The cockney squad would have wasted the funds of the convention in one month, and the Birmingham men, and some Ira' be yond the Tweed, were no better." Such is the language, word for word, of the Heywood chartist. Good `Job' concludes his observations on the convention in the following manner : —" When we consider," says he, that they have been fifteen weeks in London, receiving from the public from lOs to 21s per day, for doing nothing at all but taking down the petition to the Birmingham moneyerat' s lobby, I challenge any one to say they have not been acting a mean and base part. Some of the most noted among them have assumed a more despostic tone than either whig or tory lord. They say, if any man condemns the convention, turn him out of your society, and denounce him for a traitor ! Is not this despotism in its worst form ? Is it not the spell of priestcraft ? and no doubt of a vile priesthood have they learned it ; the convention be gan ill, it has carried on ill, and it will die of a putrid disease —its own consumption."—Mancheoter Guardian. la THE LADIES OF LIVERPOOL - A VICINITY.
