The Lords met, apparently only to receive petitions. \ " 4 one being presented by Lord DEsistAN for a miti 4.4tion of the treatment of Mr. O ' CONNOR, the Mar ' e l s of NoastANEY explained that he had received a letter ett a from M r . HAGUE denying that Mr. o . CoNNoit "l'ieeted to any of the indignities of the prison, ,\ Yu!' asserting that he bad many indulgences. We Zier to the N o bl e L or d' s s p eec h, cnotenting ourselves It h t borrowin2....l.crilawakkultat Commons that Mr. CRAWFORD, an inspector of pri sons, has been sent to York to inquire into all the cir cumstances of the case. _ .._. In answer to Lord ASHBURTON, Earl FITZWILLIAM said it was certainly his intention to bring the Corn law question before their Lordships on Thursday, when the first-named Noble Lord will be afforded an excel cellent opportunity to disprove Mr. BARING'S asser tion that the Corn-laws cut down the population. Lord BROUGHAM, on presenting a petition against the importation of Hill Coolies, said he viewed with feelings of alarm he could not describe, the attempt to revive a most detestable traffic ; and moved for copies of all orders, &c., on the subject. His Lordship will be found a formidable opponent, we apprehend, to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Bill, which was discussed the evening before last in the House of Commons. The Lords ad• journed at an early hour, to meet this day. Mr. HORSMAN took his scat for Cockermouth. Amongst the petitions presented was one from J. COGSWELL, whose case will be found in another part of The Sun ; and we are sure, from the petition presented from the wife of Mr. ROBERTS, complaining of harsh treatment, that many such cruelties are hidden in the recesses of our gaols, not to the honour of the Magistrates. After the presentation of numerous petitions, Mr. MituLE brought in his Prison Discipline (Scotland) Bill, which the Hon. Member was prevented from bringing in the night before by Mr. MACKENZIE count ing out the House. Mr. EWART gave notice of a motion on the sugar and coffee duties for June 23. In reply to Mr. DIVETT, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he proposed to have the Danish claims accurately looked into in detail, with a view of bringing the subject before Parliament next Session. In reply to Mr. AGLIONBY,the ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the most positive instructions had been sent down to York to relax the rules of the prison in the case of Mr. O'CoNNOR. In reply to Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Mr. PIGOT said that he could not undertake to bring in the Bill for settling the question of the beneficial interest in pro perty, which is to entitle a man to vote, till after he recess. At the request of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and on re ceiving the information that the Tories had understood the Canada Clergy Reserves Bill was not to come on last night, Lord J. RUSSELL postponed that measure till next Thursday or Friday. The Customs Duties' Bill, after a few observations from Mr. B. WOOD and Captain PECHELL touching the hardship of increasing the tax on windows, was read a third time. In consequence of Lord PALMERSTON being unable to attend through indisposition, the vote for the postage expense of the Foreign Department, on which the Noble Lord was to give some explanation,; was postponed. In a Committee of Ways and Means, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained his inten tions as to the timber duties, the whole amount of which is 1,602,0001. He proposes to " levy an addi tional duty of 15. 6d. per load on all timber imported, whether from Canada or the Baltic, and, taking that as a principle, he should adopt it to the different relations of timber imported." He proposes "an additional duty of is. 6d. upon battens, and upon batten ends an addi tional duty of 35., and an additional duty upon deals of the first class, 10s. 6d.," and he placed resolutions in the hands of the Chairman to carry these propositions into effect. ------- Mr. Ald. THOMSON objected to the scheme. Mr. LABOUCHEJtE, Mr. WARBURTON, and Mr. H ALL approved of it. Mr. VILLIERS announced his intention of bringing the whole subject of the timber duties under the con sideration of the House before the close of the Session. The resolutions were agreed to, and ordered to be re ported to-morrow. The Irish estimates were voted in the absence, and to the chagrin, of some Irish Members who wished to oppose them. The House adjourned at a Quarter past Eight till this day. The Tories deny that there is any schism in their party, although the Herald abuses Sir RO BERT PEEL, and a large squad of Ultras voted against him on that vital question to pure Toryism, the Reform of the Irish Corporations. Not to in crease their irritation, and to spare them the misery and the guilt of renewing false assertions, we will abstain from insisting on the palpable fact. But if there be not a schism amongst them,—and so far as they are all steadily resolved to turn out the Minis ters and get office by any means, however foul, we admit that they are a most united and homogeneous party,—there is a complete schism betwixt their pre sent professions and their past conduct. Their lan guage and their policy are divorced from each other, like those of an imaginative poet, who recommends beautiful morality by his writings and is disgust ingly vicious in his behaviour. For example, the Tories have always been great sticklers for prerogative, and have objected to make the Crown accountable to the people. The Times of yesterday, however, had a long article, exposing the folly of allowing the powers of the Crown, even in matters of negotiation, to he exercised, except under the control of the Commons. For see, said the Tory scribe, because the foreign Secretary happens to be a Whig— For see what a monstrous power of public mischief is lodged in the hands of a Foreign Secretary, who can se cretly play with the honour and interests of a nation, and is never called upon to submit his work while in progress to the scrutiny of those whose most sacred rights and en during welfare are staked upon the result of it, until he emerges from his obscurity with a parchment in his hand, containing we know not what conditions or engage ments—what concessions, immediate or remote—what transfers of territory—what encroachments upon commerce —what means of influence, and military or naval aggres sion, established against ourselves—what claims admitted or abandoned. In fine, this parchment is a treaty signed, executed, ratified, which may be ruinous—which is at all events final and utterly irretrievable. Never before did any Tory Journal expound the principle that the House of Commons is bound to examine all negotiations in progress, and not allow the Secretary for Foreign Affairs to take any step without its sanction. The limes enforces this view by quoting some presumed instances of the sa crifice of national rights when the Tories were in office, and insists with much of its wonted vigor on the propriety of the popular assembly controlling the Executive on this most important point. The To ries in Parliament have not yet adopted the practice recommended by the Times, because it is directly opposite to their former policy. Sticklers for the prerogative, living in the hope of exercising it, they dare not in Parliament call for papers of which the Executive says the production wouldinjure the public service. But the rule now laid down by the Tory Times will be a guide for the Radicals when the Tories are in power, and they will not be able to carry on the Government for a month, with a Radical Opposition acting on the principle that every negotiation in progress is to he submitted to the discussion and decision of the House of Com mons. Such an article in the leading organ of the Tories, shows how completely, at present, their writers are at variance with all the former principles and practice of the Tories. e should scarcely advert to this example, could we not fortify it by others, for the poor Times is obviously most piteously at a loss for subjects. When it went boldly on with the tide of public feeling, it would not have wasted half a column on Cracow, had the insignificant and almost un known republic been engulphed by an earthquake ; but, yesterday, merely the avowed usurpation of its Government, by those who had. long in fact con troika it, employed a large portion of a column: What it says, therefore, about dragging all nego tiations before the bar of the House of Commons while they are in progress, may by some persons be regarded more as a sort of editorial exercise, than the expression of any honest conviction. In another Tory Journal of the day before yesterday, we find another proof of the same depar ture from Tory principles. The Post took some pains to make the world believe that the inattention of the House of Commons to Mr. O'BRIEN's motion was the consequence of his personal insie.- nifieence, not of its disregard of the interests of the people. It lamented over the wickedness of agita tors, who would be sure to find in the empty benches of the House on that evening a strong corrobotation of their assertion; that the House of Commons, however eager for party fights, cares not a single straw for the welfare of the people. The Post is now most anxious, therefore, to make the people believe that the Tories" look on them like children —that they are most kind and affectionate parents, and this in the very teeth of the refusal of the House even to take the prayers or 1,500,000 petitioners into consideration. he 'Cory prin ciple was, and the Tory policy was in accor dance with it, that the people are a mere rabble, a canaille, to be ruled, coerced, crushed, but never heeded. Now they are to be soothed with professed kiLdness, their opinions are to be con sulted, they are to be persuaded that the Tories have no other object in view but their happiness, and so they are, if possible, as some foolish R • enk and Chartists have already been seduced, to THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1840 Corn-laws assert that their advocacy is dictated solely by a regard for the people. The Tory policy always has been to keep down the people, sabre them, starve them if necessary, but above all things keep them down. Now, forsooth, the Tories seek to give the people good wages. They want to see them well-fed, well-housed, and well-clothed. They want to have them fat and independent. To be lieve the Tories, the whole of their past conduct must be forgotten. The bulk of the squires and clergy would as soon see a pest in the land as a well-fed, well-clothed, well-housed, self-existing, bold, inde pendent peasantry. Their whole policy, all their laws, have been intended to make the working clasSes servile, and to keep them servile, and when the Corn-law advocates profess to be the friends of the poor, the advocates of high wages and plenty of employment, which workmen may accept or refuse as they please, it only shows the prodigious extent of their hypocrisy, and how completely they are now drivdn to condemn their own principles and prac- tises. Another contradiction of the same kind is to be found in the words and conduct of Sir R. PEEL. He lauds manufactures and commerce as the sources of the national greatness, and votes with the land lords to injure, if he cannot stifle them. He proves one day, at great length, the extreme folly and justice of taxing one part of the community to re lieve another; and he votes for the Corn-laws, he spews for the Corn-laws, which tax the bulk of the nation to enrich the landlords. He praises indulstry (vide his Glasgow speech), as the only', road to eminence, and he crushes it under an epormous tax, which at once limits enterprise and jestows large rewards on idleness. For years he and his party resisted every attempt to put down the slave trade or slavery; and now, to curry favour witl the multitude, lie must speak for a somewhat Q,uikotic plan of civilizing Africa. This marked discrepancy between the past con duct and present professions of the Tories is neither accidentalnor temporary. It arises from the fact that they are the advocates of error. They are the chadipions of past ignorance—the defenders of fol lies !which time has exposed. The more knowledge is extended, the more the purposes and principles of government become accurately known, the wider must the Tories depart from their former principles, and condemn their former conduct, to retain the least hold of the public esteem. To what purpose, then, should the public now seek to place these men in power? To give a tri umph to hypocrisy or to consummate tyranny ? The Tories must either go on with society, and must depart more and more from their principles, always professing one thing and doing another ; or they must adhere to their principles, must lay aside their present hypocritical professions when restored to power, and seek to mould society to their; stupid errors and their brutal policy. To maintain the Corn-laws, for example, without muzzling the press and prohibiting lectures, is avowed to be impossible. To muzzle the press and prohibit itinerant lecturers, is to undermine the foundation of social improvement. It would lead, by a straight and short path, to the re-enactment of all the sanguinary and cruel laws which modern civilization has put down, for without them sedition could not be suppressed, nor Tory policy pur sued‘ The restoration of the Tories to office, whether it gave the ascendancy to hypocrisy or tyranny, would be no better than a social suicide. It appears now, from Mr. O'CoNNELL's let ter, Which we elsewhere publish, and from the va rious comments and statements of the Tory jour nals; that the late great meeting at Exeter Hall was designed on the part of the Tories to usurp for their party the honour of being the enemies of slavery. They want, by declaring a theoretical abhorrence of the thing abroad, to be allowed to practise it at home. The meeting was founded on that hypocrisy which distinguishes the party, and was very properly, therefore, addressed by some of the foremost members of the priesthood. It was altogether a Tory assemblage, and we do not see how Sir S. LUSHINGTON and Mr. FOWELL BUXTON can escape the conviction of having been either duped by their own great zeal, or of having yvillingly lent themselves to a deep Tory trick. Of the chairman, Mr. O'CONNELL im plies the latter. He says—" Notwithstanding the many and general calls made on me to speak during the ousiness, I declined to come forward, as the chairman did not accede to the call ; and as, whilst there was anything to be done, I would not speak without the assent of the chairman, I as suredly had no notion of ' privateering after the war,' by speaking after the business was con- eluded." The chairman, therefore, was the willing instru ment of this Tory principle of exclusion, greatly to his discredit. Mr. POWELL BuxTorf may now pray that his avowed league with the ancient enemies of his cause, and his hostility to its long tried friends, do not inflict on it a severe blow, which he may regret to the end of his life. To destroy a well-earned reputation in a moment of spleen, or to sacrifice it to one bad passion, al lowed for sorne temporary purpose to get the upper hand of discretion, is not an unexampled occur rence ; and may be the fate of Mr. BUXTON, as it has been the fate of greater men. To be the tool of bigotry, is more degrading than to be a bigot. The Madrid Papers are of the 28th ult. The New Loan Bill was ready for a third reading. Mi nisters were in a great hurry to get the three hundred millions of new bonds into the market, which makes a sum equal to seven hundted millions issued in less than a year! The outcry against these bonds was load and general. Even the Spaniards themselves begin to manifest a general impatience of the continuance of such wholesale systems of swindling. The Queen Regent was ready to set out with her daughters to Catolonia. She was only awaiting the news of the fall of Morella. The 28th being the feast of the Ascension was a ho lyday on the Madrid Bourse. German Papers of the latest dates have just reached us. The following are extracts from them :•-• BERLIN, MAY 30.—1 t is said that Lord William Rus sell is going to return to London, to be employed in some other office. Yesterday evening an express brought intelligence that the Grand Duke Alexander had left Darmstadt to conic to Berlin on a visit to the King, his grandfather, and to be here on Tuesday, when his mother, the Empress of Russia, is expected. Yesterday evening and this morning many equipages belonging to the suite of the Empress, which have not come by way of Warsaw, arrived here. His Majesty other daughter the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg and Princess Frederick of the Nether lands, will likewise be here on Tuesday. Whether the Empress Nicholas will come is uncertain. The meeting will certainly be, on many accounts, an affecting one. It is confidently hoped that bis Majesty's health will be cer tainly though slowly recovered. HANOVER, MAY 30.

The Constitutionnel, M. TutEas's organ, is the only paper that does not admit the campaign to be a complete failure, and call for the removal of the Marshal. But even the Minis terial Journal defends the Marshal but weakly, and flods no fault with those who afcn,e ;dal of incana TlaN;r4w.iovii.ura zainst- Mar We do not know whether we might have been able to reach Medeah in less time and with less loss, but the object of the campaign has been gained ; we have entered Medeab, and we have given a terrible lesson to our enemies." This is altogether apologetic, instead of being laudatory. It is worse in the mouth of a friend than the grossest abuse in the mouth of an enemy. But unfortunately for the military renown of the Marshal, it is glaringly untrue. The attacks since made by the Arabs upon the fortified camps of Ayn Turco and Arrouch show the sort of lesson that the Marshal taught his enemies. The glory of entering Medeah is not worth boasting of, inasmuch as it was found deserted by both garrison and inhabitants. There was not even a dog left to dispUte the entrance with the victorious Marshal. Pass we now to the comments of the other Paris Journals upon the Marshal's report. The National, which is always careful to respect the feelings and prejudices of the army, of which it is the self-constituted organ, thus speaks of the report : "We see by the report that the Marshal lost 13 days in marches and counter-marches, and that he was compelled, after inexcusable attempts, to renounce a plan of campaign out of all proportion with the means at his disposal : that at the moment of entering the field he neither knew the position, the number, nor the resources of the enemy— that it was only the Bth of May, 11 days after the first operations, and on the return of an expedition towards Cherchell, that the Marshal saw the necessity of pro ceeding again towards this point to augment his forces with 2,000 men more, renew his provisions, and to remove the wounded; that the persuasions, and almost the autho rity, of the Duke d'Orleans, were necessary to decide him to attack the Col and to march upon Medeah : and that on the retreat he showed so little prudence, that the heroic 17th light infantry was nearly destroyed in covering the march of the army. Here are faults enough to tar nish the military renown of the Marshal, and more than enough to convince the Ministry that the command of the French army in Africa can no longer be confided to a man who has so frequently compromised its glory and its safety." Of the entire campaign the Commerce, after some introductory remarks far from flattering to the Marshal, says : " It has been more destructive than any preceding cam paign, and has been attended with sacrifices which are far from compensated by the advantages of the success, and the conquest of a deserted town. The faults which have been committed result partly from the permanent vices of the civil and military administration in Africa, and partly from the personal incapacity of the chief." The ',Keck, the Quotidienne, the Gazette de France, are equally explicit in pronouncing the incapacity of the Marshal, whose recal we learn was resolved upon by the Cabinet in the beginning of the week. We have not yet learned the name of his successor, who is already virtually, if not officially appointed. But we can sympathise with the Marshal, who, notwith standing his failure, is as brave as the sword he wears. Dreading a removal under circumstances not likely to redound to his fame, he prematurely commenced a campaign which he knew he must be allowed to finish, and which he hoped would restore him, crowned with victorious laurels, to his country. He failed ; and it was next to impossible he should do otherwise with such a wily enemy as ABD-EL-KaDER in the field. Unfortunately, at the mature age of sixty-five, it is not likely that the Marshal will ever again have an oppor tunity of displaying the valour which so eminently dis tinguished him at the fall of Constantine. The following intelligence from Constantinople, Alexandria, Malta, and Toulon, is from the French Journals of Thursday : EASTERN NEWS. We have received Smyrna journals of the 19th of May. The latest date from Constantinople is the 17th. The following is an extract from a letter of that date. " The last French packet has brought nothing positive respecting the Oriental question, but the accounts from Paris and London received by the same opportunity, sur prise us with the greatest hopes of a speedy settlement. It is even reported that the next packet may be expected to bring important communications on this subject; and people speak of an approximation said to have been ef fected between the policy of the French and English Cabinets, with a view of concerting with the other allied powers the means best calculated to bring this important dispute to a speedy termination. The Porte has been in formed by its representatives of the decision said to have been come to, but nothing has publicly transpired.—Con. stitutionnel, June 4. TOULON, MAY 31.—Very late on Sunday evening, on the arrival of a telegraphic despatch, the Maritime Prefect immediately sent for M. de C. Etang, commander of the Papin steamer, and ordered him to proceed instantly to Algiers with the despatches just received. At 10 o'clock in the evening the Pavia put to sea. Pains were taken to draw the attention of the public re specting the mission of the Papin, by spreading reports that it was going to Naples or to the Levant. It seems certain, however, notwithstanding this official mystery, that the Papin conveys to Marsh&l Vallee, orders to return. The Ministry, it is added, will not allow another cam paign, till all the chances have been discussed. There is no indication of the sending of more troops. Our army will, therefore, remove its cantonments in and about Algiers. Some persons even affirm that the 2,500 men left at Medeah will be withdrawn. on account of the difficulty of revictualling the place.—Eclaireur de la Mediterranean.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—There has been little change is the appearance of the market this week ; it still wears a dull aspect, though rather more business has been done than during last week. Prices of American de scription are much the same as we last reported ; the common qualities only being a little lower. Brazils have again declined, id. to id. per lb. Egyptian and Surats are heavy, at last week's rates. Speculators have taken 2,100 bales of Americans; and Exporters 1,000 Ameri cans, and 250 Carth2genas. 2,400 Tennevelles Surat for auction next Friday. The sales to-day are about 4,000 bales of all kinds, and the market flat. The arrivals this morning are a French mail, and ship Letters from Sierra Leone, Demerara, St. Helena, Mauri. Lius, and Ceylon. The Hamburgh mail of 2d June has arrived, bringing ;he exchanges on London, 13 6e; Gold, 431/; Metal, 108; Bank Shares, 1,868. We may ;expect, in the course of next week, an over land express from India, which will bring some interest ing intelligence respecting our expedition to China, and the result of the Chinese marching to Macao with 2,000 men to capture Captain Elliot; but we have no doubt he has made his escape, or embarked on board one of the British ships of war before they can reach him.

A private letter received from Macao of 4th February, states that one or two merchant ships had passed the Bogue with a quantity of dollars, which were seized by the Chinese, owing - to their being chop dollars, the usual currency of the country ; and the Chinese inferred that they had been abstracted in return for opium by the Eng lish and others. The operations both in the British and Foreign Market during the course of the morning have been of such minor importance, that a great many of its members have left for the country. This is generally the case on Saturday, particularly when there is no continental intelligence.

Malta papers, to the 25th ultimo, contain little intelli gence of interest from that island. The passengers of the Dante steamer had been let out of quarantine the day be fore. Among them was Lord Keane, who bad subse quently received numerous visits, and had dined with the Governor. The same day Sir H. Bouverie held a grand levee in honour of her Majesty's birth-day. The follow ing is an official communication transmitted by her Bri tannic Majesty's Consul-General at Tripoli to the Govern ment of Malta : "Tripoli, April 16. " Sir,—l have the honour to inform you, that about two months since the Paella sent his army out, consisting of Turks and Arabs in his favour of about 8,000 men, They took Emseleta, and obtained a trifling success over Abgellul; 10 heads and three flags were sent down as trophies of the victory. The army then advanced to Benolud, which was deserted by Abgellul and the inhabitants, distant from Tri poli 120 miles. His Highness then formed an army of re serve of 600 Turks and 2,000 Arabs, about eighteen miles distant from this. Two days since, Tahoona, the Gha- rian, and Ghooma of the Gibell, attacked this force, and destroyed them completely ; 125 Turks and numerous Arabs arrived yesterday, wounded by the sword. This success was gained by 2,000 Arab cavalry, headed by the Sheikh Ghooma, who, after taking away their fire arms, ordered his enemies to he stripped, who, in a state of nakedness, found their way to this. The Pacha's army at Benould is in a position of the greatest danger, being sur rounded by the Arabs, and it will be a miracle if it is not destroyed likewise. This adverse state of affairs has caused the greatest dejection in the countenances of the Turks. It is supposed that this success will cause a general rising in the country, and that the Turks must be content to hold the town of Tripoli as a military post only. Had con ciliation, instead of the desire of conquest, been the policy of the Turks, the Sultan might have gained 100,000 men 'in his favour from this Regency, and, being on the flank of Egypt, might have been turned to useful purposes. _ I have the honour, &c.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Half-past One o'clock. Mr. GODSON presented a petition from the grocers and sugar consumers of Kidderminster, praying the House to admit to home consumption all free labour sugar upon the payment of such duties as might seem reasonable. Sir R. FE RG USSON presented a petition from the solicitors of the town of Nottingham, complaining of the inconvenience of having the Courts of Law at Westminster hall. Sir G. GREY presented a petition from the Mission ary Society, praying for the disconnection of the India Government from the idolatrous worship of that country. Lord MORPETH presented a petition from Doncas ter, deprecating the opium trade; one from Selby against certain clauses of the Hull Docks Bill, and four petitions front places in Yorkshire, praying for the abolition of Church-rates. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord M 0 RPETH moved that the House at its rising, do adjourn till Wednesday. Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR said that as many corn. plaints were made out of doors with respect to the transaction of business in that House—of the number of holidays in the parliamentary calendar—the difficulty in fine weather of obtaining a House, the practice of adjourned debates, by which the public time was consumed, and the late hours at which business was transacted, he should take an opportunity, before the Session was over, of calling the attention of the House to the subject. „, Mr. 14:WART said he was convinced it would be found necessary to alter the time of the sittings of the House. The motion was then agreed to. NOTICES OF MOTION.—PUNISHMENT OF DEATH. Mr. KELLY gave notice that he should bring forward his motion for the abolition of the punishment of death on Tuesday, 23d June, which stood on the paper for Tues day next. 'Mr. E WART gave notice that on Tuesday the 23d June he should move that the House resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, for the purpose of consi dering the propriety of making a reduction in the duties on sugar and coffee ; and if the Sugar Duties Bill should come on before that day, that he should move an instruction to the Committee on that Bill, that the Sugar duty be reduced. COURT OF APPEAL. Mr. GODSON gave notice that he should on the 23d June bring forward the motion of which he had before given notice, relative to the constitution of a Criminal Court of Appeal. DRAINAGE OF LANDS (IRELAND). Lord MORPETH gave notice that on Tuesday, the 16th of June, he should move for leave to bring . in a B;11 for the drainage of Lands in Ireland. GRAND JURY CESS (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion of Lord MORPETH the Grand Jury Cess (Ireland) Bill was read a third time. Mr. PIGOT moved the insertion of the following clause after clause 9 :—And be it enacted, that the In spector-General of Police in Ireland shall, with the as sistance of the Receiver, ascertain from time to time the ' amount of money which shall be chargeable, under the provisions of the said Act, for the regulat►on Gt . Municipal Corporations in Ireland, or under any other Act or Acts of Parliamnet, upon or in respect of any of the said boroughs, for the Constabulary force stationed or acting therein, and make out a certificate thereof under his hand, specifying the force or service in respect whereof such charge may have been inc:,rred, and shall transmit the same, when approved and certified by the Chief or Under Secretary of the Lord Lieutenant, to the treasurer of such borough, who shall lay the same before the Town Council of such borough ; and such Town Council shall, and they are hereby re quired to provide and pay out of the borough fund, such sum as, according- to such certificate, ought to be pro vided and paid by or in respect of such borough, within one month after such certificate shall be received by such treasurer. The clause having been agreod to, it was ordered to be added to the 13i11, by way of rider, and the Bill was passed. WAYS AND MEANS. Mr. BERNAL brought up the report of the Commit tee on Ways and Means, which was agreed to. QUALIFICATION OF ELECTORS (IRELAND) BILL. On: the motion: of Mr. PIGOT, this Bill was read a first time. The House then adjourned till Wednesday next. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Appeal motions, of no general interest, occupied his Loalsbip the whole morning. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. HARTLEY. THE POOR KNIGHTS OF WINDSOR. This case came before the Court upon the petition of Lieutenant James Holeman, one of the Poor Knights of Windsor, under the foundation of Samuel Travers, praying that it might be declared isy the Court to be lawful for her Majesty to dispense with the attendance of the petitioner at Windsor, and to make such bye-laws as they should think proper for dispensing with the attendance of any of the Poor Knights who required it. In the year 1724, Mr. Travers, by his will, left a sufficient sum of money to pur chase an estate in Essex, the produce of which was to go to the support of seven gentlemen, to be added to their then present number of the Poor Knights of Windsor, who were to have 601. a year allowed to them. In 1791 his Majesty George the Third was graciously pleased to approve of the Charity founded by Mr. Travers, and ap. pointed seven gentlemen as the' recipients of his bounty. A charter was also granted, by which the Cha r ity was in corporatein- corporated,and the Governor of Windsor Castle, the Dean of Windsor, .and the Provost of Eton were ap pointed the Visiters. In the regulations provided by that charter it was stipulated that the Poor Knights should at. tend chapel and levee in a collegiate manner, and they should not absent themselves from their place of residence for more than ten days in a year without a license from the Visiters. The charter also provided that Ouch feture regula tions might be made for the carrying en Of the charity as the reigning Sovereign and the Court of Chancery should think fit. Under this proviso an applieetiop was made to the Crown to dispense with the attendance of the petitioper, 9a the groUnd of his blindness, and the air of W indsor not agree ing with his health. Upon the memorial being presented to her Majesty, she referred it to the Attorney-General, who thought that her Majesty had not the power to make the order asked without the authority of the Court of Chancery, and in consequenee of this suggestion the pre -sent petition was presented. Mr. RICHARDS appeared for the petitioner. Mr. WIGRAM and Mr. WRAY appeared for the Crown, and were quite willing that which was sought should be granted, provided the Court thought it could be 4one. The Vice-CriaNcet.t.oe thought the prayer of the peti tion ought to be complied with by the Cour't ; and be would therefore make the declaration asked for, with the addition that it was lawful for her Majesty to make such regulations or bye-laws for dispensing with the attendance of any of the ;Poor Knights of Windsor upon such terms and in such manner, es her Majesty pr. her heirs and suc cessors might think proper. -BREAKING OUT OF THE POPULATION OF I.IIKICK.—We are sorry to announce that the populace of Lim rick, many of them, no doubt, prompted by the cravings of hunger, have broken out in violent attack on the flour stores and provision shops throughout that city, sparing none in their devaitations. The stores of Sir David Roche, and those of Mr. Caswell, Mr. Poole qal)l,Ntt, itr t d Messrs. Harvey, all were attacked, and from each flour has been taken arid distributed by the ringleaders i►i the coolest Way imaginable. Far from justi fying such conduct, we may account for it thus :—provisions having risen so high, they are now beyond the reach! of the poor—potatoes being Bd. per st;mit in the town, although we are informed by the Ilepo•Or that no actual scarcity exists. The crowd were at length dispersed by the military, and the Mayor has called a meeting of the inhabitants, to provide some means of meeting the distress. In the meantime he has dis tributed ten tons of oatmeal amongst the most wretched, which, foi ; the present, has quieted their cravings.

COURT OF QUEEINPS BENCH, Jags 6 • ( Sittings in Banco.) GEARY V. HARVEY. This was an action which had been brought by plaintiff against the defendant, the proprietor of t he True Sun newspaper. It appeared that, at the col b meneement of the Session of Parliament, in Novea ber, 1837, the defendant had engaged the plaintiff one of his corps of u.porters for the Session. On tb e 23d of December, howeFer, the paper ceased to be pub _ lisbed, and the plaintiff was dismissed; he consequenti y brought this action in the March following, in c --0 - cover damages for the breach of contract. wasbrought before the Session of Parliament cam, The defendant paid fifty guineas into Court, Denman, in summing up the casa, told the Jury to consider the damages as up to the day at ,% " action commenced, and the Jury, considering fift: guineas a reasonable remuneration for darnagcs ei to that day, returned a verdict for the defendant. rule had subsequently been obtained eallhag on tlic.defeik ant to show cause why a new trial should ,uat be bad, c n the ground of misdirection by the Learned .Tudge. Mr. PLATT showed cause against la a rule, at id contended that the direction of the Learne, d Judge si /es perfectly right; because if evidence miga'it be git en of matters which had occurred since the con, ‘mencemetak of the action to increase damages, evidence might al se. be given to diminish them, and the consequence wouidi be that damages would be variable according t f , the day on which the trial took place. The ATTORNEY-GENRRAL in support of the n Said that the action was brought to recover comps. aaation for a breach of contract, and not to recover arrears of salary up to the end of the session; but neither was it rigl it that the plaintiff should only recover his salary up to 014 time at which the action was brought. The action was br, ought to recover damages from the defendant fur dis charging the plaintiff, and the Jury were to asses the, damages, and it was of no consequence at what unit the, action was brought. He entirely denied the position Rs; titn ed by his Learned Friend, Mr. Platy, and contci ,ded that evidence might be given of matlris occuring sub. sequently to the bringing of the aition, with a • view either to increase or diminish damages. If they had wi iited until the termination of the Session before bringing the action, the cause of action would have been precisely th e same, it being an action fort - reach of contract.
