Commission by the Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire. King's Regiment of Cheshire Yeomanry Cavalry—Maccles field Troop—Cornet It D. Dod, Gent., to be Lieutenant, April 2. Ireland, be wished to show something of the objects and progress of tee-totalism in Dublin. At a recent meetinsr, in that city, a priest named Father Maguire said, " He would tell that high-born, bilious sprig of the House of Derby."—(Laughter.) That was no laughing matter to him (Lord Westweath) to hear the Noble Lord spoken of in such terms by any man, much less by a Minister of —( Hear.) "He (Father Maguire) would tell the high-born, bilious sprig of the House of Derby that in three months he would have two millions of temperance men who would sound the tocsin of Repeal, and effect the li berty. of eight millions of people, by driving both Whigs and Tories out of office"—a consummation not very de sirable to the Noble Viscount opposite. Father Maguire wet t on to say that " the Tories would not dare to send Stanley amongst them ; they might as well think of getting Castlereagh out of his difficulties—( Laughter) —and ex. pest that the black gentleman would take the celestial keys out of the hands of the Prince of the Apostles."_ (A laugh.) Noble Lords opposite laugh at this. But he could see nothing.in it to laugh at.. If the Irish Municipal Reform Bill were passed, the effect would be to give the municipal government of Dublin up to men, who would use such lane„uage and express seeb sentiments in their Courts of Common Council. He also said that if the House presumed to give the Bill a third reading be would . place himself at the head of 3,000,000 teetotallers to resist its imposition on the Irish nation. Ho (the Marquis of Westmeath) hoped that during the reeets the Noble Viscount would seriously consider what the bearings of this Municipal Corporation:; Bill were. He believed it, would accomplish no one purposd of municipal good for the inhabitants of that city, but that its effects would be to confiscate a revenue which, would shortly increase to 40, or cyen 60.0)0.. and give it to the agitators .of Ireland; and, he asked, what use would be made of it? He wished to know. svhcther the Noble Viscount would have an objection to lay on the table, in order that it might be printed, the evidence celivered on the subject of the municipal* condition of the Dublin Corpo 7 ration? This was but reasonable. He should like to know why the Corporation of London had not been so dealt with ? he would tell the Government why, It was because they dared not do it. That city bad too many Members who knew their duty to allow the Govern ment to attempt it. Could they prove the present Bill to be innocuous or honest, he would support it ; but believing it to be neither, he would oppose it to his latest breatb. Lord ELLENBOROUGH addressed a few words to Lord Melbourne, wliich were inaudible in the gallery, after which L: , ,rd MELBOURNE said he would postpone the second reading of the Irish Municipal Corporation Bill until Monday, the 4th of May. . CLERGY RESERVES. Lord MELBOURNE, continuing to speak, said he understood what was said in the other House to have been that • her Majesty's Ministers would not advise her Majesty to give her Royal assent to the Bill passed of by the Legislature the House of Coromons, until a period had elapsed after the vacation, equal to the length of the vacation,. or perhaps a longer period, (LEFT SITTING.)

PRINTED PAPERS BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he saw the Printed Papers Bill had passed through Committee in the House of Lords last evening, and that amendments were to be proposed to-morrow, when it would be sent down for the approval of the House. Under these circumstances he thought it desirable the House should be prepired to re ceive it and adopt them, in order that it might be printed on Monday. He hoped, therefore, the Speaker would have no objection that the [louse should meet to-morrow at half-past three o'clock. The motion was agreed to without any observation. DIVISION ON THE CHINA DEBATE. Mr. FRE SHFIELD called the attuttion of the Speaker to the error which had occurred in counting the numbers last evening, which it appeared by the votes printed by the authority of the House were '271 and 262, being a ma jority of nine instead of ten, as entered, by mistake, on the Journals of the House. He wished to call attention to the effect of this error in the case of a Private Bill. If the toil , rs agreed, the numbers were against the Bill, when, in point of fact, every body might be aware the majority was the other way. iie wished to ask• if there was any mode of correcting the mistake ? The SPEAKER observed that the numbers (whatever ey were) !announced by the Speaker, were entered on thq Journals. With regard to taking the names in the lobby, that practice was of very recent date, and did not overrule the ancient practice. ROMAN CATHOLICS. MAXWELL gave notice that on Monday next he should move for a return of the number of Roman Catholic Bishops or Priests receiving grants of public money in the Colonies, the dates at which those grants commenced, and the authority under which they were made. Mr. O'CONNE LL gave notice that on the motion of the Hon. Member for Cavan (Mr. Maxwell) he should move that the return be extended to Protestants of all denominations, and also a return of the relative nu m b ers of the members of the different Christian sects. The Hon. and Learned Member also gave notice that it was his inten tion shortly after Easter to call the attention of the House to the state of the landed proprietors in the East Indies. Colonel SIBTIIORP gave notice, that on Monday he should move that the returns: relating to Commissions issued since 1838, and for which he had moved on - the 27th of February last, be laid before the House forthwith. He found that returns of a much more voluminous nature which had been moved for since that period, had been laid before the 110113 e, and therefore he thought he MB justified in moving for them forthwith. Sir F. TRENCH gave notice that on Monday be should move 44 an account of all goods imported for home consumption in the three years ending 1829, and a similar account for the three yeara ending 1840, distinguishing the amount of duty paid, and whether by weight or by valuo. NEW WRIT. On the motion of SirG. CLERK a new writ %las or- dered for the county of Elgin, in the room of the Hon. Col. F. W. Grant, who had accepted the oMce of Steward of the Chiltern Hnufircds. Lord HOTHAM wished that the Hon. Member f(r Kilkenny should explain the course he wished to take with respect to a notice of his relating to Judges cf tie Admiralty. Mr. HUME said that he intended his motion should only apply to future Judges. Lord HOTHAM gave notice that in that case he should take an early opportunity of moving that after •,hu dis.sole tion of the present Parliament no Judge of the Admi ralty should sit in the House. Sir R. 411. INGLIS wished to put a question to the Right Honourable Member the Secretary to tbe. Admiralty, in reference to a largo iron steamer which had lately Leen taker into her Mujesty's dock-yard of Portsmouth, end refitted there. There was a mystery connected with her destination, and there was a strong impression that it was an illicit one. Mr. M. O'FERRALL sa id that i t was true that a ves sel of the description which had been mentioned had been refitted in the dockyard of Portsmouth, but he believed there was nothing illicit in her destination. Sir R. FL INGLIS—Is she not destined to be engaged 41 the slave -trade or the opium -trade . ? Mr. MORE O'FERRALL said he had no reason to think so. Mr. HUME saw a notice in the paper of tc-day that civil contingencies were to be .moved for in Committee. The papers relating to the subject bad only bean delivered that afternoon—they had on ly b een put into his hands when leaving a Committee of that House, he therefore trusted that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not press those vptcsunder.the circumstances. The CH,ANCELLOR of the EX.CHEQI.TER would not, of course, under such circumstances, press these votes. • - - CANADA. Mr. PAKINGTON said at present the second read ir.g of the Bill for uniting the two Canadas stood for a se cond reading on, Monday next. Now, considering the great importance of the debate which had occupied the present week, the near approach of the holidays, and the great importance of the subject itself, he begged to suggest to the Noble Lord the propriety of postponing tire further progress of the 13;11 until after the Easter holidays. • Cord J. RUSSELL was of opinion that it .was of very great itrpertancc that the House of Cornmohs should either give their assent to the Bill or dissent from it, be fore the Easter holidays. He would therefore move it on Monday next.—( Hear.) THE BUDGET. Mr. HERRIES begged to ask the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he could yet name the day when he would submit his financial statement to the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. Lad intended to name the day before the holidays, but found that he would not be prepared to do so until the Mouda,y after the holidays. Mr. H. -VERNON begged to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the return of the Post Revenue for the last quarter included the payment made by the public races, or the charges attendant upon the production of the stamps? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the return certainly included the payments made by the public offices, but the charges bad not yet been ascertained, and therefore could not be charged against the receipts. ROMAN CATHOLIC ORNAMENTS. Mr. SOMERSET MAXWELL said it had been very generally stated in the London Journals, that. a Treasury order bad been issued to the Board of Customs, directing that all pictures. plate, and ornaments, for the use of Roean Catholic places of worship should be exempted from the usual duty. He wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any order to that effect had been issued. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said no such order whatever had been issued.—(llear, hear.) The case lie apprehended stood thus. There had been a very old practice at the Treasury that the Vestments which were used by the Roman Catholic priests in religious ceremo nies, and which they imported, should be exempted from the heavy duty charged upon such articles. That old order had probably given rise to that new suspreton.— (Cheers and laughter.) There had been always an order also with regard to other articles used in public worship, whether Protestant or Roman Catholic, for instance, where it wrs any remarkable specimen of art, such as an old painted window ; it had been. although there hed been no general order in the practice of the Treasury to admit these articles free of duty.—( Hear. ) DECLARATIONS OF INSOLVENCY.

PEEL bogged to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary of the Colonies whether there was any foundation for the repurt which was very generally circu lated, that am Order in Council had been issued for re prisals, in respect of China? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said there had been an Order in Council for reprisals.—( Loud cheers from the Opposi tion benches, fo,:llowed by cheers from the Ministerial side.) Sir R. PEEL begged to ask, whether it was intended to make any fetnial communication on the subject to Par liament ? Lord J. RUSSELL said, not at present. Sir R. PE EL—ls it intended to issue letters of marque? Lord J. RUSSELL was not prepared to answer the question at that moment —( Cries of " There ought to be notice of the question," followed by cheers from the Op position benches.) Sir R.

Since the time he had given that notiLe he had taken upon himself the trouble of looking into the important services which had been stated in the Bill as having been preferred by Lord Sea ton ; and he felt bound, after that search, to say that he could not discover one act of Lord Seaton's that deserved the reward proposed to be given him. (LEFT SPEAKING.) LUDLOW ELECTION-THIS DAY EXTRAORDINARY BP.IFIERY, Mrs. Cook,! the landlady of the Inn, used by the Ciivites, was examined at great length, as to the accounts kept againtt them. Witness said that there had been eat leaves from the books, and tbus a reduction of the amount Waq represented. The Committee then proceeded to cases of bribery. A person named Wade stated he had been offered 501. for his vote by Mr. Levis on behalf of the Clive party.. He refused. He had then been offered GOl.-80/.-100/. 1 He had still refused. The sum was increased to 150/. He yet refused. He was then told he could name his own sum, but he still refused, saying, that he bad promised Mr. Atcock his vote, and would keep his word. Great sensation appeared to be excited by this disclosure. A man named Merit was then called, and was about to be examined, when Mr. Sergeant Mr.nEwEATtinn, seeing that the evidence would implicate Mr. Griffith, objected that his agency was not proved, but after argu ment, the Committee decided that it was so; the witness proved similar offers of money which had been male b y Mr. Coleman. The Committee then adjotaned. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (Front the London New Price Current of Apii 10.) Tia.—On Monday accounts were received from China, stating that the Chincse Government had issutzti an ed lot, prohibiting the importation into their ports of British go ids away kind, whether in native or in foreign ships, requiring a bond from the masters of any vessel entering the post to trade that it does not contair. goods transshipped from s ny British vessel, and consenting. to the confiscation of the slip and cargo should anything. British be discovered on boar J. Lin, the Commissioner, \Nitta in high favour with the EMperO r, who fully approved of the; course he has pursued towards tile English, and there was not the least foundation for the re port that he had been lowered in rank. On the part of Capt. Elliot there had appeared some desire to place attairs on an amicable footing ; but Lin was quite averse to this, and stated that the edict stopping the trade for ever with the English should continue in force. In India warlike preparations against China continued. The dates were to the 29th Feb. from Bombay, 19th Feb. from Calcutta, and 7th January from Canton. The effect of the above was to produce much desire on the part of the trade to purchase on that and the following day, and in Company's Congou a large business was transacted for cash at 2s 5d to 2s SA-d, and a good many contracts wt re made for short and - long prompts at 2s tid to 2s 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 vtevailed for actual consump tion as well as on speculation, and prices improved Id. In cash parcels a large haisiness was done at 2s 3i. , 3 to 23 4d Inr common Free Trade Congou, and 2s 4d to 234101 for Ordinary Twankay. A goad many parcels were dis posed of for prompts at 2s bd for the former, and the latter at 2s sisd, at which rates several parties were not disposed to sell, but during tic I:st few days there has been less life in the roarkr:i, 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 Coragou the demand has much abated, and price 0, one time fell to 2s. 2id for cash, but have since rallied to 2s. 3icl per lb. The future state of prices of Tea, par ticularly if there should be a tong stoppage of trade, will 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 thin the Thomas Coutts has begun to take in her homeward cargo. The Royal Saxon ' it is said, has succceded i n getting up to Wh am p oa . The Frederick Huth has ar rived from Hong Kong with 50 chests, 849 half chests, 300 boxes, 1,448 tencatty boxes Caper, 38 boxes Sou chong, 13S 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 diposed of at P.s 2d a 23 20, and ordinary Twankay at 2s 3d a 2s 3id ; but at these rates not many pai•cels 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 f2a 3d; and Twankay 23 -id for cash; Fcr prompts few sales were made," nut ordinary Congou were not offered under 2s 4d, and Twankay 23 sd. In Company's Congou there was little passing; buyers at 2s 3d for cash, but few sellers under 2s 3!;tt 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 dOmand for free trade Tel was limited for cash; and for prompts the re are fewbuyers. In Company's Congou there was little passing, th e nearest prices at the close of the market for cash to which the busineis 'Was chiefly confined was common free trade Cougim.2s 2I; Twankay 23 3id, and Company's Congou 2s 3d Per lb, - at these rates there were few nuyers : none of the catilegues for the next sale have been issued. RUM.; BriANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—For I,c!. , ward Island RuM there has been a brisk detnand since we last wrote, and the priCeS"paid snow an advance on those of this day week of Id; 400 puns have been disposed of, proof to 5 per cent. .ovet-proof at 3s 91 a 33 1 ld, 6 to 18 over 4s a 43 sd, 20 to 29 over 4s 7d a 5s 2ti, 30 to 40 over 5s 4d aSe 101 Jamaica has been disposed of at higher rates by Id, cad a good demand has existed; 150 puns have been soil, 27 to 29 ovesproof at 50d a 53 lid, 30 to 36 over 6t 11 a 63 stronger anl lavourite marks 63 scl. a 6s 7d.

The SPEAN ER took the Chair at Four o'Clock. The Whittlesea Ir.elosure Bill was read a third time time and passed. Sir J. C. HOBLIOUSE withdrew the Nottingham Lightiri. Bill.

MANNERS presented petitions from three parishes in the County of - Leicester, praying for Church Estensicu, also sevcral petitions from the santo vicinity against any alteration in the Corn-laws. CHINA.—ADJOURNED DEBATE. On the question being put for proceeding with the Ad journed Debate on the China question, Mr. II AWES wished to explain whatke had stated last night, which appeared to be misunderstood, relative to the residence of Capt. Elliot at Canton. What he wished to say, and what he thought he had said was, that Captain Elliot obtained for the first time the concession of a resi dence of ;I pelhical nature at Canton. Mr. HOG G then rose to address the House. He trusted that that indulgence would be extended to him which had been Oven through the debate to other Members. It was his intention to make his address as brief as pos sible, by coniinieg himself as nearly as he could for the terms of the motion before the House. There must have been something very inconvenient in the form of the motion to Gentlemen on the other side of the House, for they had every one of them complained of the terms of the motion. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Edinburgh had expressed his surprise that the motion had been limited to the past conduct of the Gevcrnmen, and he congratulated himself end his colleagues that no censure was expressed, or implied on their present con duct and policy. The Right Hon. Gentleman added triumphantly, that the charges were confined to nutters of omission. And how did he answer the enargcs of omission ? He did not attempt to reply to the alleeations of the Right Helios:rabic Barouet, or to those or the Honour able and Learned Member for Exeter. The Right Ho_ nourable Gentleman at once and almost exultingly admitted the omissions and attempted to withdraw attention -by psreing an eloquent panegyric on that omission, although it bad led to the most disastrous consequences. The Right lion. Gentleman denied the consequenccs,but acknowledged the omission and devoted the greater part of that die- Tent and powerful speech, which teas heard with - so smell ad miratien S and delight to des c rib e the rel;antages of withholding instructions from a public servant et a distance, and to illustrate the folly of giving him those instructions. the Right tionoureble Gentleman said " You are justified in giving instructions to a public servant in Paris, or at the Hague; but You are guilty of absurdity in giving instructions to an cheer who is at a distance—who is placed in circumstances new and trying, and, above all, if he mixisutly implores to you to give him instructions, and adds his opinion that the best interests of the country are at peril if those instructions arc withheld."—(Cheers.) With respect to the motion not embracing the present po licy of the Government, his Hon. Friend the Member for Wiltshire offered a suggestion which was received by the other side with taunts. He (Mr. Herbert) said that the Right Hon. Haronet had avoided the question of war lest it should embarrass the Government.-4 Hear, hear.) Although Hon. Gentlemen opposite could scarcely be ex pected to give credit for such motives—( Hear, hear)—for his part he (Mr. Hogg) would not advert to the question of war, as it was not placed in the resolution, but for the concluding part of the speech of the Right Hon. Member for Edinburgh.—( Hear, bear.) He should be sorry to give any vote or express any opinion that would tend to impair the energies of the Government, or to em barrass the measures which they might think the interests of the country required —( Hear, hear.) But he had formed an opinion as to the question of war and of the warlike policy of Ministers; he did not wish to conceal that opinion. They bad been taunted on his side of ' the House with questions as to the course they would pursue. He would freely confess his opinion as to that course, and it was that under existing circumstances he did not think her Majesty's Gt..ernment could treat with the Chinese au thorities effectually or with honour, alicept with thepreseuce of an armament.—(" Hear," from the Ministerial benches.) He freely admitted that, and he did not arraign the con duct of her Majesty's Government on that score—he ar ' reigned their conduct, because their imprudence and neglect had led to the exigency.--( Hear, from the Oppo sition benches.) - He hoped, for his part, the opinions expressed by his Noble Friend the Member for Liskeard, and by the lion. Member for Lambeth, would be attended to with respect to our armament, and whatever the struggle in which this country might be engaged, he never would express any doubts as to the result. He knew there could be but one result. We had, how ever, some experience of the countries and the confines of China ;we knew something of Ncpaul. The Nepaulese were undoubtedly the most formidable force we bad en countered in India, andtlicy were a power from whom we 1 had still much danger to apprehend. tie remembered that when Mr. Auchtcrlonic had expressed his astonish ment that a people so brave as the Nepaulcse should here b e en worsted by the soldiers of China, the answer Imade to him was that he did not know the people of China or their warlike character. We had also some ex perience of the Burmese, and they were a nation strongly 0 resembling the Chinese in character and religion. He therefore thought the seven millions 'spent in a fruitless war should now enjoin caution. He had said, however, that he apprehend e d no thi ng as t o t h e resu l ts of a struggle ' with China, and that there could be but one revolt to any. war in which this great country might be engaged. But he looked with horror even to success. He knew that the forces we might send to China must ha irresistible, but he feared that the confidence of the population being once shaken in the government of that country, they bad rea son to apprehend worse consequences from a civil conflict among a population of 300,000,000. He knew we might blockade the coast of China, and we might step the con veyance of rice and other necessaries of life, to that coun try. We might add to the horrors of war the afflictions of famine, but what, he would ask, would be the result to ourselves? Putting the expenses of the war out of the question, what, he would ask, would become of a mart for upwards of 2,000,000/. of our manufactures, which might be closed for teeny years to come—what would become of our trade in an article which was no longer a commodity or a luxury, but almost one of the necessaries of life ? We might cut up the trade, end we might perhaps be thus • debarred from even commerce with China for many years. He would not, however, pursue that subject any further than to express a hope that whatever demsnds might be "made in China, every peaceful expedient would be ex hausted before we proceeded to extremities with that country. He was certainly alarmed at the tone and tem per of the conclusion of the speech of the Right Hon. Member for Edinburgh, and he hoped that Right Hon. 'Member was the only person attached to the Government who had expressed such opinions as he had done. He w i s hed to believe that that Right lion. Gentleman had been betrayed by the intemperance of debate into the ex pressions fro had used, and he hoped the tone of the Cabinet would be amore pacific than his.—( Hear, hear.) He spckc of wrong inflicted on our flag. The House should bear in mind his illustrations. He spoke of Plassy and of Cromwell.—( Hear.) He (Mr. Hogg) had • cheered the expression quoted, but not the illustration ; for what were the circumstances ? A con flict took place between some English sailors and natives, on the . coast of Mslebar, and the priests interfered, and Blake said unless the priests were delivered tip to him within a few hours, he should burn and sack the city. He hoped the illustrations of the Noble Lord the Foreign Se cretary would be of a different character. His Hon. Friend the Member for Portsmouth had complained bit terly of the terms of the motion, that they had not intro-• duced the subject of war—of the trade or cultivation of opium. lie wished them to put into it something whie.h, though it might not induce him to support them by his vote would induce him to support them in cpinion. The lion. Members on the other side made the old and bac'snied charges of its being a party question, brought forward for at ELEGANT POCKET DICTIONARY.
