It was his wish, therefore, to ascertain from some authentic source what the real opinion of the Duke of Wellington was upon this sabieet, because if his Grace were averse to the removal of the statue from its present pedestal, he (Lord John Russell) should not propose the vote in supply which he might otherwise do, her Majesty having declared her desire, in that case, to allow the statue to remain as at present. Lord G. BENTINCK had nothing to say, but at once to consent to the postponement of his motion. Sir F. TRENCH hoped that on Monday he should be allowed to read the letter addressed by the Sub-Com mittee to the Duke of Wellington, and his Grace's an swer thereto, which contained the very expression of feeling which the Noble Lord at the head of the Go vernment was so anxious to ascertain. CHARGE AGAINST MR. HUME. Mr. SPOONER trusted that the House would grant him its indulgence while he brought under its notice the matter of a personal nature which he had given notice of the day before. He would content himself by laying the facts of the case before the House, and leave it to deal with them. On Tuesday last, in the exercise of that judgment which it was so desirous should be left unfet tered by any circumstances whatever, he, after attending to the debate on the subject of the Raja of Sattarah, had come to the conclusion that it was his duty to vote against the motion of the Hon. Member for Montrose. Happen ing to sit next morning near the Hon. Member for Rochester, the Hon. Member for Montrose came across the House, and, in an excited manner—(Laughter)— said to him, " You voted against me last night." He (Mr. Spooner) replied that ho had done so, when the Hon. Member rejoined, " I will bring the conduct of your son before the House." The Hon. Member also threatened to do the same with respect to a near relative of the Hon. Member for Gateshead (Mr. Hutt) who had also voted against him; and he added, " Jam prepared to prove that only 13 independent Members voted against me."—(Laughter.) That was the real statement of the facts. He (Mr. Spooner) immediately said that if the Hon. Member had any charge to prefer against his son, he would, as a matter of courtesy, state to him what were the particulars of his charges, so that he might have an opportunity of replying to it. The Hon. Member for Montrose's only reply was—" Look to the Blue-book and see the certificate he gave—he was a magistrate concerned in the matter." He (Mr. Spooner) did not know at the time what was the proper language for him to use—(Laughter)—but he consulted several of his friends of more experience than himself, and they had told him that this was a matter which he could not let pass, and that he ought to state the thing to the House, and let the House deal with it as it thought fit. If this were not a breach of privilege, it at least assumed the character of intimidation, and it was conduct cer tainly that ought not to be withheld from the knowledge of the House. He would just call the attention of the House to the concluding circum stance, that whatever might be the ground of the charge which the Hon. Member for Montrose had to bring against his son, that this was a singular time to do it, considering that he had had the Blue-book before him, in which the transaction with which his son w t h a e s Hconnected;Member had f 0 r b e js e i n for Montrose s t o w d o i d Sears t,o t roeocoo fir o d ed confine h . i But oasel t to the single charge, for he also brought a charge against a relative of the Hon. Member for Gateshead. These were the circumstances to which he had to call the attention of the House, and he trusted that his expres sions in doing so had evinced no improper feeling. He would now leave the matter altogether at the dis posal of the House. If it were necessary that he should explain the reason why he had given this vote he was prepared to do so, but as he could impart no new information upon the subject he had preferred giv ing a silent vote upon the subject. He would here leave the matter entirely in the hands of the House. Mr. HUME said that in all his experience this was the most extraordinary speech that had ever been made by any Member in that House. While sitting at home, at five o'clock, he had received a note from the Hon. Member for Birmingham, requesting him to be in the House at four o'clock. He (Mr. Hume) was entirely at a loss to un derstand what he wanted with him. He did not know whether the Hon. alember thought that he had com mitted some violation of his Seduction Act—(Roars of laughter)—or what it might have been that the Honouraole Member intended to charge him with. But he was now undeceived upon the point, and he would leave it to the House whether any Hon. Member in it had ever heard a charge like this brought forward. It appeared to him that the Hon. Member ought to be obliged to him instead of complaining of his conduct.— , (Laughter.) What he had said to the Hon. Member for Birmingham was, " I see you voted against me last 1 night ;" he said " I did." " Have you seen the result of the numbers ?" " No." " Then I can tell you, that out of the numbers who voted against me twenty eight belonged to the late and present Go vernment and to the East India House, and only four teen independent Members really voted against the motion. I therefore put the fourteen independent Members against my twenty-three supporters, and I consider that the division was in my favour."—(Laugher). He referred to the Mr. Spooner mentioned in the blue book, and the Hon. Member for Birmingham said " He is my son." He (Mr. Hume) then said, "On Tuesday next I will give the House an opportunity of reconsider ing this question, and I will then refer to this division, and show that only fourteen independent Members voted against me." That was all that had taken place, and a more gratuitous interference on the part of the Hon, Member for Birmingham, he had never seen. It would be his duty on Tuesday next to "show, that both the Hon. Member for Birmingham and the I.l•Ja. M,rubcr for Gate:du:ad had been inflooneed by external circumsiances ; their near relatives being acting magistrates in the earlier history of these circumstances, the one being the magis trate before whom the robber was brought, on whose body was found the papers connected with the Goa con spiracy, and the other the magistrate who imprisoned Govind Row, the principal Minister of the late Raja. He did not mean to impugn their characters as magis trates, because he could show that they had acted under instructions from head-quarters. The Hon. Member had charged him with a breach of privilege ; he thought he could better charge the Hon. Member with a breach of confidence in thus bringing before the House private conversation. He thought the Hon. Member for Birmingham, had not, in this instance, acted with his usual good sense and correct judgment. Mr. HUTT said that the Hon. Member for Montrose did not always exhibit a most perfect wisdom, nor was his language and demeanor, on all occasions, the • most delicate and proper. He (lit. Hutt) cared not for any attempts that might be made to asperse his relations by the Hon. Member for Moutrose. He always received them with cheerfulness, and in fact rather liked them.— (Laughter.) The Ilon. Member then proceeded to state, thot when Govind Row was placed in prison Mr. Hutt proceeded immediately to release him, had him placed in one of the principal houses in the town, and bad his comforts caret ully attended to. The minister of the late Raja wished to make a private communication to him, but he was informed before doing so that such commu nication would be forwarded to the Government of Bombay It appeared that Govind Row made a full confession of the circumstances of the conspiracy, but that he after wards retracted it, and stated as his reason for doing so that it had been extorted from him while he was con fined in a dungeon. The lion. Member for Montrose seemed to think that Mr. Hutt had been instrumental in placing this person in a dungeon, for the express purpose of extorting that confesssion from him. —([Lear, hear.) But this was utterly at variance with the truth.—(Herr, hear.) Ile sincerely trusted that the Hun. Gentleman would abstain for the future in making charges which were devoid of truth. Mr. BANKES entirely repudiated the notion that there was any privacy in the conversation which the lion. Member for Montrose had with the Hon. Member for Birmingham. He spoke so loud that any one sitting near the Hon. Member for Birmingham could not fail to hear the purport of his observations ; in fact it seemed as it the Hon. Member for Montrose had come over to the Hon. Member for Birmingham for the express purpose of making the statement to him. When he made use of the observations referred to, he (Mr. Bankes) told him that he must be joking ; but he (Mr. Hume) replied that it was no joke, and that he should bring it before the House. He (Mr. Bankes), however, was no party to the course which the Hon. Gentleman had adored. He considered that the Hon. Member for Bir mingham's character required no vindication—(Hear, hear)—he certainly did not deserve to be excluded from those who had given, according to the Hon. Mem ber for Montrose, independent votes. Sir DE LACY EVANS here rose to inquire whe ther the twenty pensioners whose pensions had been commuted in 1833, and who had performed,certain ser vices in.Canads, would be restored to the condition of their comrades in Canada, who had received pensions, whilst those who had been left in this country received none. The . consequence was, that upwards of one-half of them were in the greatest misery. He wished, at the same time, to recommend that Dr. Arnold's principle of ventilation should be applied to barracks, which could be done very economically. Mr. B. OSBORNE considered that the lion. and Gallant Member ought not to have withdrawn the atten tion of the House from the subject which was before it. He hoped the House would call upon the Hon. Member fur Birmingham and the Hon. Member for Montrose to give them assurance that they would not commit a breach of the peace.—(Roars of laughter, which continued for some minutes.) Sir R. INGLIS said, if the Hon. Member for Mon trose had considered Mr. Hutt and Mr. Spooner guilty of the conduct imputed to them, he ought to have included them in the list of the persons whom he ac cused; he certainly ought not to have impugned the motives of those who had voted on the division. Lord JOAN RUSSELL—I am much of the same opinion as the lion: Baronet who has just resumed his seat. I think, to speak to gentlemen after they have voted, and to impute to them that they have given their votes, not in accordance with their own opinion, bat la consequence of the o p inions of their connexions, is 0 fw thisere fdone House se w t i h th respect to the generality g ral t i h ty ing of a th n e d vo if tes it have been long acquainted a most unbecomenitet d by the Hon. Member, grea test inconven ie nce could not fail to be the result ; but I do not thi nk, f or we with the language use that he really meant to impuchart epossesses any improper motives. The I think he made the statement without anybody, either within or without never made himself a very strict master of the English language.—(Roars of laug hter.) the House and the Hon. thinking about it. — ( Continued laughter.) I think the , Hon. Member for Birmingham Member for Gateshead (Mr. Hutt) m ust be both satis fied that their relations are not guilty of the charges br either w it hi n or w i thout t hi s H ous e who will pay the ought aga i nst t h em , an d that there is not a p erson slightest attention to the subject.—(Laughter and hear.) r , Mr.-AGLIONBY s a id t h e Noble Lord had called the Pacia. Member for tioutrozo a .chartered litertixa;— (Roars of laughter, during the continuance of which the Noble Lord shook his head, whilst some Hon. Members in the vicinity of the lion. Member for Cockermouth assured him that the Noble Lord had not made use of any such expression.) He admitted that he had fallen into an error; he had misuride-rsto , d the Noble Lord—(Laughter)—but if the Hon. Gentleman was privileged, it was on account of his good humour, and on account of his anxiety to assist any Hon. Mem • ber to whom his experience would be useful, and he was sure both his former and present services had created a debt of gratitude on the part of the country, which never would be paid.—(Cheers.) He believed him free from blame. He trusted the matter would go no further. Mr. HUME said on a former evening when he was called by a Member of the Cabinet a thief and a receiver of stolen goods—(Cries of " Oh! oh !")—he took no notice of those expressions, because he believed they were used in the warmth of debate, but when the Noble Lord, the premier of this country, rose and told him that he had not learned his own language--(Laughter) —he thought it his duty to rise and defend himself from such a charge. He did not know on what authority the Noble Lord had made use of those expressions. A puff or a joke were all very well, but he did think that such language from the Noble Lord was unbecoming and unworthy of htm. The matter then dropped, and Mr. Hume passed on to the opposite benches: and took his seat for a few moments, amid considerable cheering and laughter, by the side sf Mr. Spooner. Mr. FOX MAULE then replied to the question of the Hon. Member for Westminster. He said the matter should be taken into consideration. Mr. ELLICE said, when he was Secretary-at-War, he believed, as well as his memory would serve him, that the men referred to had their pensions commuted for two or three years' . pay; but the men spent the money they received in public-houses, and were found wandering about London in a state of destitution, so that they were unable to fulfil their promise, and to make their way to America, but some of their comrades have found their way from America to this country. He considered their case worthy of the seri ous attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and recommended it to his attention. There were, it appeared, but fourteen persons, and the expense of allow ing them a small pension would not be considerable. He would not say whether it was or was not creditable to this country, to have persons who had served them wandering about in a state of destitution, ROMAN CATHOLIC SOLDIERS. Mr. MACAIU'HY inquired whether the Hon. Gen tleman the Secretary at-War intended to take any vote for the purpose of finding Roman Catholic soldiers with religious consolation from the ministers of their own religion ? Mr. MAULE said provision was made for Roman Catholic soldiers receiving the concilation of their religion both at home and abroad. It would be too bad to let this matter rest without insti tuting some further inquiry into it. Good effects would be produced by the publication of these cases. It was well known that the principal landed proprietors were absentees, and until lately they had nut been called upon to act in public capacities. The administra tion of the poor-laws was the first public duty they were called upon to perform, and he was quite sure that these cases of fraud had occurred through ignorance, or a strong desire to avoid refusing relief when it was asked for. The publication of these cases, however, would have the effect of inducing the mo gis tracy to be more cautious in future, and he trusted there fore that his motion would not be objected to. No doubt they had no desire to do more than what was right and just, and if publicity were given to those who were defaulters he was confident it would to the exercise of more dis crimination in the system of relief adopted in Ireland. No greater benefit could be done to the Irish nation than by teaching them the value of character and repu tation, and nothing could more tend to give them such instruction than by holding their defaulters up to public opinion.—(Meer, hear.) Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN did not blame the Hon. Member for Mallow for bringing the subject before the House, but he did not think it advisable to publish these cases now that Parliament was about to break up, and the parties who might be falsely accused would have no opportunity of making any explanation to that house. Messengers from the Lords appeared at the bar and summoned the House to hear the Royal Assent given by commission to a number of public and private Bills, for the names of which see our Lords report. Mr. S. O'BRIEN, in continuation, said that 'he should feel it his duty to resist the motion of the Hon. Member. Mo. LABOUCHERE was ready to admit that the Relief Commissioners had stated to the Government that some of the relief committees were not in the habit of discharging truly and faithfully their duty. These cases, however, he was happy to say, formed the exception and not the rule. He thought that the motion of the Hon. Member, that there should be laid before the House so much of the correspondence or reports of the inspectors under the Act 10 Vic. c. 7, (with the name, rank, and residence of the parties re ferred to), as contains the statements by the Commis sioners of relief in their communications to the Govern ment, would, if carried out, be attended with a good deal of useless and most vexatious inquiries. He could not agree with the statement that there was a wide difference between the conduct of a person in the magistracy and a party in a lower station of life. He did know that he need trouble the House any further upon this subject. He did not agree with his Hon. Friend the Ittenal3er for Mallow that this inquiry would be snort and sattstactin - y, aau vviibn he remembered that the inquiry into the conduct 'Of Captain Wynn had occupied the attention of a Committee up stairs more than thirteen week, and had involved the Government in an expense of 20,0001. He did hope that the House would not agreed to this motion.—(Hear, hear ) CONFERENCE WITH THE LORDS ON THE JUVENILE OFFENDERS BILL. Sir JOIIN PAKINGTON reported that the Lords required a conference with the House upon the subject of the Juvenile Offenders Bill, and had appointed a meet ing in the Long Gallery immediately.

Me returns made in 1.1 . .3 weak endiJaa . July 6, 13 47 i ill 263. 1.0 1 / 2 d. per cwt. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of July 6.) SUGAR.—To-day there was a stronger desire evinced to operate in all kinds of Raw Sugar, and fur all pur poses, vaiilst a rise in the value generally took place, and some merchants have withdrawn their samples from the market; that they should have resorted to this might have been expected. West Indian Muscovado was in excellent request, the purchases privately amounting to 830 hhds and trcs, at an advance on yesterday's rates of fid per cwt, so that prices close the same as on Friday last. REFINED.—To-day there was a better demand from the home trade for Refined goods; brown grocery Lumps at 565, and Standard Lumps 575. Bonded Crushed Sugar seels freely at 32s to 32s 6d for fine. FOREIGN.—Today there was no public sale of any kind of Foreign Sugar, whilst privately there was more business transacted, and at rather higher rates. The market is decidedly looking firmer. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was no public sale of Mauritius, and privately the operations were upon a more extended scale, and rather higher rates were obtained for all sorts. _ _ _ EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was a brisker demand for Bengal Sugar, and 1,721 bags at public sale were sold at full rates; 400 bags fine strung white Cossi pore were taken in at 565, which is above the value. Of Madras, 3,937 bags were offered, and nearly all sold at the full value. _ COFFEE. This afternoon there was little passing privately in Coffee for home use or export, but prices are unchanged. At public sale 121 bales 14 half-bales Mocha sold—middling pale greenish at 60s to 61s, fine long berry 75s to 80s, mixed peas 65s 6d to 66s 6d, ragged 45s 6d, broken 29s 6d to 36s 6d 409 bags La Guayra in part sold ; fine bold grey 43s to 455, damaged 26s to 355, low middling sound bold was taken in at 50s. 30 casks Jamaica in part sold at 48s to 60s, middling bought in at 86s to 88s. TEA.—No further advance can be quoted in the value of black; but holders display filinness, and offer only a moderate quantity for sale. The trade continue to be inclined to increase their stocks, and a good business has been transacted in all kinds of Congou this week, at full former rates. In Green Teas a good business has been done, but not at higher rates; still the quantity pressing for sale is less than it was. 'At public sale yesterday 4,500-pkgs were offered, of which 2,000 were sold, chiefly small boxes. There have been no arrivals since this day week, whilst the deliveries for hothe use have been upon a large scale since that time. RICE.—To-day East India Rice met with little atten tion, and at the public sales prices slightly gave way, but the whole offered sold. SPICES.—For Black Pepper former rates are required, but few sales have been made privately in any sort, and 2-1 d to 2id is the value of Sumatra. At public sale a small parcel only of 2,760 packets Malabar found buyers. White has been operated in with caution, and can be obtained upon the low terms of 3d to sd, according to quality. Pimento is not so much in request, and a slight decline in the value occurred, whilst privately few sales have been made. Cinnamon is offering rather under former rates, but without much attention, as the quan tity that will be offered at the next quarterly sales will be large, and of Ceylon is expected to be 3,000 bales. There continues to be ready sellers of Cloves, and at a public sale of 681 pkgs Zanzibar prices declined id to id per lb, but the whole sold. 10 bags Bourbon were taken in at 9d. Nutmegs have been operated in with caution pri vately, although there are sellers even at rather under former rates. Mace is dull of sale and a little cheaper: few purchases have been made privately. Cassia Lignea is held with firmness, the supply being small; but little desire has been shown to do business privately, and none was offered at public sale. Ginger is not much required. COCHINEAL.—This afternoon there was a good de mand, and full rates were obtained. At public sale 30 bags Mexican black sold at 5s 3d to 5s 6d, and 50 bags silvers 5s to 5s Id. SALTPETRE.—There has been a strong desire mani fested to purchase rough for home consumption and ex portation, bat holders insisting upon an advance on tormer rates of 6d per cwt operated against business privately, and at auction 1791 bags of Calcutta were only in part disposed of. SPIRITS.—There is a very unfavourable opinion en tertained by all parties towards Rum, and which is to be ascribed to the smallness of the deliveries, and the large quantities that are yet to arrive. holders have been eager sellers of all kinds this week upon further reduced terms, still without inducing exporters or the home trade to operate with more freedom. Although a re duction on former rates of 3d to 4d per gallon has been submitted to for all kinds of Jamaica; still the amount of business transacted has been to a small extent only, and the total purchases made for home consumption and exportation this week do not exceed 250 pnns. Leeward Island suffered a further reduction of Id to 2d, and the purchases made have been trifling. Although East India can be obtained at 2s 6d to 2s 70 proof with certificate, stijl there are few buyers to be met with. Demerara has been operated in with cau tion, and can be again obtained upon lower terms. There is a large quantity of all kinds of Rum pressing for sale, and an opinion exists that prices have not yet arrived at their lowest point. Brandy has met with more attention this week, but no improvement in the value. OILS.—The demand has been active for Southern Oil of all kinds this week, and an advance in the value took place of lOs to 15s per tun. At public sale 140 tuns were all sold. For Cod there are few buyers, and the general quotation is still 27/. For Pale Seal the demand has much increased whilst,a rise in the value of lOs to 20s pvr • tun took. .place,, By private treaty- - a considerable business 'has bison ,lone at 271 108 to 284 at which holders were firm. In other quali ties the operations are upon a more extended scale. Sperm prices do not improve, ,but the operations are upon a more extended scale privately, and at auction 80 tuns were sold. There are further arrivals of Fish Oils, but the deliveries continue on the increase. Rape seed Oil has been extensively dealt in, and a further rise in the value took place. The supply is less plentiful, whilst the consumption is large. For Palm prices tend downwards although a good demand exists privately. Cocoa Nut is less wanted, still prices rule high. There are seve ral ordi rs in the market unexecuted. For Linseed Oil the market has assumed a quiet appearance, and a decline in the value took place, although the supply continues to be small. On the spot the home trade operated with caution, whilst the quantity taken by exporters has been trifling. THE LATE THUNDER STORM. The destruction of property on the Surrey side of the water and other places, by the thunder storm on Tuesday night last, has been fearful, and from inquiries made, it seems that several individuals have met with serious in juries. At the time the storm was raging most violently a man named George Watkins, residing in Vauxhall street, Lambeth, was proceeding along Broad-street, when he was struck to the ground by the lightning, the head and right aim being both dreadfully scorched and blackened. He was d'scovered by a policeman, who re moved the poor fellow to his home in a weak and de plorable condition. The landlord of the Rising Sun, Mr. J. Keene, Port land-street, Walworth, has been a great sufferer. The signboard in front ot the house was shattered and scorched by the electric fluid. The window frames and glass in va-ious parts of the house were destroyed, and even portions of brickwork may be seen broken to pieces by the violence of the storm, in fact there is scarcely a whole pane of glass in the street above-named. Various buildirgs around Kennington were much in jured. The district arrch ot St. Mark, facing Ken nington-common' was considerably damaged by the fluid. The clock wal shaken and stopped. Many ofthe florists at Battersea, Wandsworth, Mortlake, and Barnes were great losers by the destruction. of some of their choicest plants. A large quantity of valuable pigeons were killed on the premises of Mr. James King, New-cross, Deptford, by the lightning, which struck the roof of a building, dislodging a portion of the tiling, which was hurled with great violence into the street. The feathers of the birds were scorched up, and presented a very remark able appearance. At Bermondsey, Rotherhithe, and other places the in habitants have suffered to a very serious extent. SLAVERY in the UNITED STATES. The following is an extract of a letter from a gentle man in New York—an offiee-bearer in a Presbyterian church:— " The Bible Society has declared that it will not give the Bible to slaves even where they are able to read. The Tract Society has positively refused to publish any tract against slavery, and the other societies stand aloof trom the subject. I would say further that the slave holders have declared that they will not tolerate the cir culation of any book or tract if it contains a word against slavery. Therefore the Ameaican Tract Society, the Methodist Tract Society, Baptist Publication So ciety, and Presbyterian Board of Publication, exclude . from their lists every book that has a word agent sla very. Thus, crouching to the slave power, they ex tinguish all light on the subject which might otherwise be circulated in the free states, if not among the popula tion of the south. I do not believe that slaveholders would find any difficulty in obtaining admission to any of the churches were they to apply. I never knew the question put to an applicant by a minister or member o a session (except by myself), Are you connected with slavery ? And when I have pvt the question, the other members of the session have looked as if I had asked a very improper question. In all the churches the same distinction prevails as in the pro-slavery churches of the south. They all have the negro pew ; all admi nister the sacraments to the coloured members after the whites. A large majority of the ministers here have not opposed public opinion by honestly espousing the cause of the slave. They find the mass of their churches throughout the states so violently opposed to the abolition of slavery that their characters and their livings would be at stake. Nor is this all ; the great( r part of the ministers themselves are opposed to the freedom of the slave, and b e i ng li n k e d together by ec clesiastical bodies, it requires a much larger share of in dependence of character than falls to their share to take a manly firm stand against the crime of slaveholding. They have quite enough light and quite enough con science to feel its deep iniquity, but they have too much regard for their reputation, and too much fear of offend ing th e i r co ll eagues , to r i sk t h e h onest ex p r ession of their opinion."—Scotsman. Mdlle. Catharine Hayes, who created so profound a sensation as a prima donna at Venice and at Milan, has taken the good folk of Vienna by storm as the haroina in one of Donizetti's early-operas, Olivia e Pasquale. She was enthusiastically encored in the principal cabaletta, called before the curtain at the end of each act, and at the c onclusion was summoned forth amidst th 3 cheers of the audience, and was complimented . with a superb wreath. . • .. REMARKABLE HAIL STORM IN in defence of their country, and should be proportionably SYDNEY. rewarded. In conclusion, he must express his gratifica tion at the statement of the Government.—(H-ar, heart) The Duke of RICHMOND said th.lt, although he (Id' ft-red so much from the Noble Lord, y, the was glad upon this occasion that he could coincide with him. Whence arose all these diffieulties, it w.rts because tormer Governments did not do their duty. He considered that those veterans wbo had served in Egypt ought to have been included, and they ought not to consider that the army would be satisfied at being passed over. He hoped the Government would do a further act of justic e, and include them in any consideration which they gave to the question.--(hear, hear.) The Earl of MALMESBURY thanked the Govern.. ment for the act of justice which they were about to perform, which wculd have a highly beneficial influence on both services. Earl GREY reminded the House that the value of these medals was enhanced by the great reserve and caution with which they were di‘tributed, and theY were never given but for distinguished services. .1 1 ° greatly feared that if they departed from the principle which had hitherto guided them that they would do S vast injury to the country. A serious question arose as to whether greater inconvenience did nut arise froras o attempt to alter former decisions, than by permitting them to rest as they were. The Duke of RICHMOND explained his allusion to the services of the veterans of Egypt ; he did not thiolt he would have been acting justly towards those gallant men if he did not mention the hardships to which the,' had been subjected. Lord ELLEN BOROUGH said that, looking fairly (1 1 the services of officers who were subjected to very hara service, feeling poignantly some other officers being dr corated for some particular service in which they had the good fortune to be engaged on some one particular occa e sion, he considered a positive injury would be done to th service if rewards for personal bravery were not give° where they were deserved. After a few words from the Earl of STRAFFORD , 'be motion was withdrawn. CLERGY OFFENCES BILL. A correspondent of the tldney (New South Wales) Morning Herald, gives the following account of a thunder-storm which visited that district on the 4th of February last, and prov , d one of the most remarkable ever witnessed in thatcolony:— " There was nothing in the appearance of the weather (says the narrative) to indicate such a visitation, the day having been fine and warm, but the thermometer did not rise higher than 80 deg., with a clear sky and light breeze. Soon after five P.i., some remarkable clouds appeared in the south, which gradually increased in volume and height, with a good deal of sheet and forked lightning and distant thunder. About six o'clock I was in a house about two miles from home, and see ing the appearance of the clouds, which were by this time literally as black as ink, I got upon my horse and started homewards at a sharp gallop. Before I was half-way the storm burst right overhead, and I found myself in a few seconds exposed to its terrific violence, without the least hope of reaching a place of shelter. The road runs along a lofty range, and being the highest ground in the immediate vicinity, the wind blew with great fury. The first hailstones which fell were about the size of a small fist, and their appear ance was so very remarkable that I thought at first that they were some substances that had fallen from the tree nearest me. I was soon undeceived, and immediately drew my horse across a large tree close to the road, and endeavoured to shelter my body as well as I could. The storm now raged with awful fury, and the hail fell so thick, and of such an extraordinary size, that the ground was covered in a few minutes. Having a straw hat on, I tried to save my head with one hand; but, in doing I so, my arms suffered dreadfully from the hail stones, and one in particular, which struck me midway between the elbow and the wrist, was so heavy that I thought my arm was broken. This hailstone fell at my horse's feet, and I am quite certain (judging from others which I saw weighed and measured afterwards) that the size was nearly that of an ordinary breakfast cu p , while the weight could not be less than from six to eight ounces. Owing to the horse being exposed both in his head and hind quarters, I soon found him become unmanageable; and although I was in the atmoat dread that my brains or eyes would be knocked out from the extreme violence of the blows, I was compelled to give my horse the rein, and he galloped back to the place I had left, instinct teaching the animal to turn his tail to the storm. " The tempest was now at its height, and the roaring of the wind, the noise of the 'hailstones amongst the trees, and the air darkened with falling leaves and branches, formed the most fearful scene I ever witnessed. The horse, maddened with the hailstones raining with such violence on all parts of his body, and startled by the falling branches, shied and plunged in such a way that it was with very great difficulty I kept my seat, as I had to keep one hand up to save my head, and my arms were getting every minute more benumbed with the blows. I reached the slip-rails in four or five minutes, where I was detained in getting down the rails, my fingers being nearly powerless, and got into the clear ground; and just as I reached the house and got into the verandah, the hail-storm passed off, and the rain began to fall heavily. After a short stay to recover myself, I again started for home, and on the way was startled by a most awful vivid flash of lightning which seemed to stream down from the heavens, making the hailstones on the road appear for a second of time like a mass of blue crystal. This was succeeded by a stun ning peal of thunder, and the rain then fell in torrents. I got home soon afterwards, drenched to the skin, and, on stripping, found that I had been struck in about twenty places ; on my head were four lumps nearly as large as marbles, and the skin was broken on several spots where the hail had struck me. Even now (forty eight hours after) I am hardly able to lift my left arm to my head, and the pain in the hands and other parts is still considerable. " The form of the hailstones was exceeding various, most of them being round and others pyramidal, angu lar, thin, and flat, with irregular surfaces. A great many wery very much the size and shape of a common oval salt cellar. The weight also varied much, many of them being solid masses of ice, while others were opaque and light ; one which we measured was three inches thick. At seven o'clock, after they had thawed considerably, many measured teu inches round ; and I was credibly informed of one that measured fourteen inches in circumference, and another that weighed eight ounces 1 . The duration of the storm was about fifteen minutes. and its course seemed to be from S. by W. to N. by E." This Bill was read a third time and passed. MILITIA BALLOTS SUSPENSION BILL, This Bill was read a third time and passed, Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. July 8.

In answer to a question from Mr. HORSMAN, Mr. HAWES stated that Sir Patrick Stewart had signed his office of Governor of Malta in conseque ll '', of his having been refused leave of absence. upon A -1 former occasion Sir Patrick Stewart had had leaire "s absence, and Government did not think it consisted with the public service to grant it a second time. CHARGE AGAINST MR.

Lord BROUGIIAM said that on the 18th of June, 1837, a day for ever memorable in the history of the world, as being the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, a number of persons feeling grateful to the Noble Duke, and considering themselves bound to testify it, collected money to the amount of thirteen thousand pounds, for the purpose of making a testimonial to the illustrious Commander. What that testimonial should be was left open for discussion, and when the committee went to his late Majesty William IV.,annl represented that there was no precedent for erecting a memorial to a private indi vidual upon the palace property, he answered that they should make one ; and her present Majesty, under the advice of Lord Melbourne, confirmed that decision, end was graciously pleased to authorise the erection of the statue upon the very arch which it now adorned. It was on the distinct and express statement that the statue should be placed upon the arch that the committee again appealed to the public, and 12 0001. more was subscribed ; and if it was removed there would be a direct breach of contract and faith with the public. He understood that the more persons of taste examined its situation, the more they were im pressed with the feeling that it was well placed in point of beauty and effect. His opinion on a mater of taste was valueless, and although he considered that the horse was not like one of the Elgin marbles, and was too real in its position, and not sufficiently ideal, yet he considered that the statue ought to remain where it was. And he was the more impressed with this opinion, when he was aware that it would give great and deep offence to the Noble Duke to remove it. The Noble Lord then went on to observe how justly such a compli ment was due, and observed that the statue was not the property of the Government but of the subscribers ; and concluded by saying, "And now, rem ove it if y ou dare."—(Cheers.) Lord LANSDOWNE--Am I to understand that the Noble Lord makes a motion? Lord BROUGHAM —Yes; I move for all the papers and correspondence connected with the Wellington statue. Lord LANSDOWNE said that he had reason to com plain of the line of conduct adopted by . the Noble and Learned Lord. lie had not given notice of his motion, and while he agreed to the motion, he could not but take an opportunity of entering his protest against such a course. REWARD TO NAVAL OFFICERS. The Earl of HARDWICKE moved that an humble address be presented tes her Majesty, praying her Ma jesty to be graciously pleased to direct that the order of the Admiralty, dated the Ist of June (directed to all persons serving on board any ships of war, engaged with the enemy, between the year 1793 and 1815, the captain of which ship shall have received a medal for any action during that period), be directed to all persons serving on board any ship of war - engaged with the enemy be tween the years 1793 and 1846, the captain of which ship shall have received a medal ; or where the fleet, or squadron, or ship shall have received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament ; or where the Commander•in- Chief shall have been created a Peer, or received a step in the peerage, for any action with the enemy during that period. He would not detain their Lordships by any arguments, because he rested his case on simple facts. In the order of the Admiralty, on the Ist of Ikune, the medals are limited solely to those who have been previously decorated. The only reason why such a rule was insisted on, was, because it Was done in the army. It was the misfortune of the navy to be governed by political men, each succeeding Government intro duced a change into the composition of the Board of the Admiralty, while the army was governed by a chief, who was essentiall y non-political. He would move the resolution pro forma in order to bring it under the notice of the House, and with the n hope the Atdowmairradlstya great ot e l a te t He injustice of directing which the had adat been te committediou o f number of brave men. had not been urged on in making this motion by any party motives.—(Hear, hear.) Various expedients had been proposed to bring the subject properly before the Legislature—it bud been proposed they should petition the Queen, but the men concerned felt indisposed to ask for honours which were not the free gift of the Queen, and they therefore unani mously refused adopting such a course. Lord AUCKLAND said that the Government were obliged to adopt some precise rule by which they would be enabled to guide their conduct, and it was in follow ing out such a course that the present motion had its origin. He was fully alive to the claims of those whose case had been so ably advocated, and it might be some satisfaction for him to know that their case would be re-considered.—(Bear, hear.) Lord COLCHESTER said that he was delighted to bear the statement of the Noble Lord opposite. Great injustice had certainly been done in passing over men who had so much distinguished themselves in 1815. He did not see why those men had been excluded from well earned honoum..Thoy.had elacouutored 6erious damages •'.. the Destitute Persons (Ireland) Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the I,'XCHEQI-Tn' ""rl5 that the vote which he was about to put into the MO/ of the Chairman was for a further grant of 300,00 T.; secured upon the payment of rates, for the relief of far, people of Ireland, and as he was about to propose Alit titer grants in the course of the evening, he thoughta, desirable that the people of this country who had °ot, vanced their money should know how it had been alley and that the people of Ireland should know how tc" of had been benefited. The operations for the relief et Ireland commenced in the spring of 1846, and "'gst to that time principally effected by giving eMplOYlnell ljef those who were in a destitute condition. That rethe terminated in the month of August, and duringnoi, period over which that relief extended about 734,i'ofe were expended, about one-half being advanced as '„'", e • t and the other half being by grant. At the c0n303"4"4-60 ment of this year the mode of administering relief changed—for very soon after the assembling of rs'f'; ment the universal failure of the potato crop bet known, and universal alarm and despondency was ".11 tet throughout the country. The relief committees wee a 9 active employment all over the country, and mats abuses crept into that mode of giving relief—Prom the want of proper management, and partly f'the 1 a very strong and humane feeling on the part 0' 10 proprietors of Ireland. Intimidation had a good dloe do with these abuses, and in consequence of all Lthe causes uniting together, the number of persons upon the public works increased to so great an extent that Were most active exertions on the part of the Governmeo,Let Wrelt necessary to keep down this source of expense. In •"°e O of the present year, the number employed upon these P"ee lie works was 730,000 persons. In the month of lly the Government were compelled to order, perecePtur iii " the dismissal of a great number of these pefses'r order to drive them to more necessary and tn°r,e Pfa ductive exployment in the tillage of the groan°. ebt May a further reduction took place—and at the Pres 1/1 ' I A time no greater number than 22.000 were emploYe't 'the ,t fact, no more than were absolutely necessary for continuance of those works which had been beht-ef From May the Government had fixed the ainan," money to be expended in this manner, at 100,00 t P 063, month. He wished to state at once to the Hon• lil rod bers representing Ireland, that the Government blio emphatically declared that in no case would these Po ilo, works be continued beyond the termination of th,e the tual pressure of the necessity, or at least .beyono fed month of August ; for the Government had anticeAe. and, as it seemed, not altogether unjustly, that a " mind would be made upon them for the continuance 1°)0 completion of these works. A letter had been wri!t'eo, by his (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) direeti°, which distinctly stated that these works were not of menced for themselves alone, but only for the relie` of the people, and that the moment the necessity disco; tinued, they would cease also. The whole ar°eee which had been expended upon these relief works s`dor the 15th of August last year, was 4,900,0001 e °I),, 5,000,000 L, and these works were being wound li,rere "ore established as possible. Besides this, large depots of corn "ore established in Ireland, some of wich had been cligithe tinned upon the commencement of the operations o'bece relief committees ; but as many as thirty. four had The established in the county of Donegal this year. to Government, in doing this, had taken great 010 avoid any interference with the supply of corn Wi,bs was furnished by private trade ; and, indeed, be 110 say, that no complaint of any such interferenoeweee• ever reached the ear of the Government. In the .I.'oo sury minute, of August 31st, it was ordered that "ere corn depot should not be opened until the people vithe enabled to obtain proper supplies of corn fronl hel private trade of the country, and that, even when ricet" were opened that the corn should be sold at such tie, as to enable the private trader to sell without loss alpre same. Besides these depots furnished by the G°`;:,- t; ment, a considerable number were established by Prh;:eo contributions, and a large supply of corn and proofs ode bad been sent from the United States. The third 113'coe of relief was that of establishing relief committee liege the distribution of food to the people of Ireland. .":"„he duties were to distribute food and to raise subsceiPt;ero and he must say that this portion of their duties:,° discharged, upon the whole, in the most latislano/,, manner. They raised last year the sum of 101,0Zee 0 and it was impossible that the money could have wtbe expended to greater advantage. In the present year,' to relief committees had raised the sum of 199.0001., all this sum was added 191,000/ by the Government seer donation, making nearly 400,000/. expended this 101, for the relief and sustenance of the people of Irelcl is There were in Ireland 2,049 electoral divisions, And to 1,386 of them relief committees were appointed, an the the greater part of these advances had been made brrY,' e 5.
