ENTI IN VDIII ON ' s - SOW-STREgT.—(THIS DAY.) 11 E -EXAMINATION OF RICHARD GOULD. About two o'clock, Richard Gould was placed at the lar, before Mr. HALL, for re-examination, on the charge of burglary. and stealing certain monies, in the dwelling- I3ouse of Mr. Teinplemaa. in Pocock's-fields. Mr. Jardine and M. Twyford were present, and the Duke of Brunswick v as also on the bench. Mr. HOBLER said, that from the evidence necessary to be adduced in support of the charge against the prisoner, a remand would be necessary ; but in the meantime he would proceed to show that Mr. Templeman was in posses ion of money on the evening before the robbery. Mrs. Lovett, Mrs. Morgan, and other persons, who had Paid Mr. Templeman money the day before the robbery, Were then examined, and the investigation was procceJing when we went to press.

Virtue, Loudon, 1840. - This Part contains four spirited sketches of some of the most picturesque scenes in Canada, accompanied by brief literary explanations from the practised pen of Mr. who seems better qualified for this sort of work, that for writing plays or poems. DESIGN FOR THE NEW POSTAGE ENVELOPES. This is a smart caricature, suggested by the nume- Tous designs for envelopes with which Government has . 0f late been inundate'3. Dozens of grotesque-looking Penny postmen are represented flying off in all direc tions ; and a couple of them, in the leanest possible con dition, are galloping along on horses, for which Don Quixote's 'charger Rozinante seems to have officiated as the mode). The figures of the laughing Chinese and Yankees, in the back ground are very humorously pour trayed. 314 .10 NS OF ENGLAND IN THE OLDEN TIME. We have here a sketch of the Great Hall at Little vote, in Wiltshire ; of the Room leading to the chapel at Knowle, in Kent ; and of the Grand Staircase at liardwicke Hall, Derbyshire, as they existed some two or three hundred years since. There is much spi rit and freedom in these sketches ; and when they are completed they will farm a good-sized folio volume, which will be sure to become a favourite with our fintiquaries. .ING LISTON. Tail, Edinburgh, IS4O. :Mere are both pathos and humour in this story , I tnieh is one of everyday life, and deals, for the most Pert, with every-day character. The authoress is a lady named Webster, and we congratulate her on the talent she has manifested throughout Ingliston," which is ,skilfully managed as regards incidents, and is penned in as easy, unexaggerated style. There is a shrewdness of - 4nbservation, too, about it, that at times reminds us of . )Miss Ferrier. WORKS OF JOSEPRUS. PdlIT 3. Virtue, London, 1840• • The•prenent work, of which the third Part is now hin t; before us, is a republication of Whiston's transla tion of Josephus, issued in monthly Numbers, and at a moderate price. An engraving of the ancient city of Tyre, so often referred to in Holy Writ, embellishes this Part. POLYTECHNIC JOURNAL. A cheap monthly Magazine, devoted to the purposes °f a rt, science, and general literature—as the title-pee With due particularity informs us ; and containing, "long other matters, some curious observations on the manufacture of white lead. AMERICAN MISCELLANY. Simpkin and Marshall, London, 1840. A cheap—American periodical, published monthly, and containing several passable articles in prose and Versa. HEADS OF THE PEOPLE. No. 6. Tyas, London, 1840. The number before us consists of three sketches,—of the Artist, the Dos alter, and the Solicitor, none of Which are raised above the level of common-place. AMUSEMENT IN HIGH LIFE. Greenland, London, 1840. I .inder the above title, we have here a collection of Mort prose tales, in one volume, supposed to be re lated by a family party who are assembled at Todding- Hall, by way of agreeably passing away the long November evenings. That the tabs are short is their greatest recommendation ; in every respect they are btu indifferent common-place. A fine gray horse., with a heavy cart, belonging to Mr. Daukes, agent for Guinness's stout, en coming down. Exeter-street this morning, about a quarter before eight, took fright, ran away at a furious rate, and dashed with tremendous force against the shop, No. 95, Strand, corner of Beaufort-build ings, occupied by T.

" The more Lord Stanle3's Registration IEI Ireland. the the more his Lordship and i = vuises Tory colleagues see cause for rejoicing ; eo fiddled while Rome was burnings"— Vide ay Paper. When old Rome was blazing high ; Fast an el furious to the sky, Need, from his palace To the people'l i e amazement, With detit,hted feelings gazed Oa The flames himself had raised ; And as higher still and higher • Rose the fierce, wide-wasting fire, Thf: scamp, unable to restrain The promptings of his mirthful vein, Seited, like fiddler at a play, cat-gut bow, and scraped away So, when Ireland's in a blaze, Stanley on his fiddle plays, Pleased to think, devoid of shame, He himself has caused the flame ! GVha., tho' the fiery billows roar, Far and wide, from shore to shore, Naught cares he, but with delight Keeps fiddling on from nic.rn to night Ever merriest, ever proudest When his victims clamour loudest ; Whio, listening to each sprightly air, His Tery cern-rogues roundly swear To every kindred soul they meet, They ne'cr heard music half so sweet. Fiddle on, my Lord, but soon Stern events, shall charige your tune— Yes, tb.e hour approaches fast, I :;hcn, thoir Tory day-dreams past, They who listen to you now, With exulting eye and brow,] Scared by Erin's frantic rage, Alid warned, too late, by history's page, 'Which tells them that their power is o'er— The power they so much prized of yore, To rob—to bully—dupe, and diddle— Shall curse both Stanley and his fiddle ! COURT CIRCULAR. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager gave a Juvenile Fete yesterday aftcrn:ion at Marlborough House. A very large marquee had been erected for the Fete in the garden, lined wi:h striped pink and white drapery, and carpeted with crimson cloth. It was open on one side, which had a row of light pillars, the middle of the tent being sup ported by several larger columns, from which flags were suspended on either side, the Royal Standard being placed at the top. A covered passage, fitted up in the same manner, formed a communication with the rooms of Marl borough House, into which it led. The Band of the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards attended in a circular tent on the lawn, a short distance from the large marquee, and performed a number of favo rite pieces in the course of the afternoon. The garden was adorned with a great number of vases and urns, filled with choice plants. The company began to arrive at three o'clock, arid were ushered into the lower suite of rooms, which were all opened on this occasion. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at rived with the Princess Mary, accompanied by Prince George and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, ar.d attended by Miss Kerr, shortly before four o'clock.

We have been favoured with the sight of a halflength portrait of her Majesty, drawn with a yeti tuld,ink . , by an Italian ertint, M. Mine.i, Who has rilrea4 executed 6Ae Albert, with which his Royal Highness expressed himself much pleased, and, as we understand, made a purchase of it. The likeness of her Majesty, which is copied from the wail-known miniature by Ross, is a very excellent one ; and nothing can exceed the softness and delicacy of the lights and shades, which arc handled in the most skilful manner possible. How Mr. Minasi contrives to produce such effects, by the mere aid of pen and ink, is to us a marvel and a mystery ; he must have laboured hard, and for a long series of years, ere he could have achieved such unqualified success. We would recommend him publicly to exhibit his draw ing of the Queen ; we are sure the exhibition would be as attractive one, for the thing is perfectly unique.

Hugh Stowell, at the meeting of the Frotest.:nt Association in Exeter Hall, this morning, a gentle man was taken ill on the platform, and being removed to the Committee-Room, it was found that life was wholly extinct. We learned, on inquiry, that the deceased is Dr. Fencock, re aiding in the neighbourhood of Hanover-square. The cause of death is presumed to be an attack of apoplexy. CHURCH EXTENSlON.—Petitions to the two Rouses of Parliament from the different congregations of Dis exlters in this town, praying that there may he no grant of the 'Public money for Church extension, the edifices now in ex istence not being half fi ffed, were last week forwarded to London • for presentation with numerous signaturea appended.—lpswich .Express. • 'IMPORTANT TO EXPORTERS OF SPIRZTS.— - , The Lords of her 'Majesty's Treasury h ave g ranted p ermission le - inix plantation rum with whiskey in bond; for the purposes of stores or exportation.

THE WEATHER.—According to accounts from • all parts of the United Kingdom, the refreshing showers had been quite general ; the weather altogether was most propi tious, and the whole face of nature appears to have undergone most beauteous and delightful change. The fact that woodcocks occasionally remain throughout the year, and breed in this country, has this season been established at Netherwitton, the beautiful seat of Raleigh . Trevelyan, Esq., near„Morpeth. In the romantic wood, a little t o the west of the mansion, a woodcock's nest was found about a fortnight ago by the gamekeeper ; it contained four eggs, nd, soon after, four fine youti t ; bails left their shells, and are n ow in the course of being reared by their parent=, in a nest prepared for them in the immediate neighbourhood.

NEW TORY CLUB.—We stated some days ago, on the authority of a Tory journal, that an off-shoot of the Carlton was to be " called into existence," and in doing s i expressed our belief that there was a split in the Conservative body. From what has come to our knowledge since, it appears our inference was correct. The Buckinghams, and . Canterburys, and Neelds, wanted the old Carlton to pledge itself to the main tenance of the Corn-laws unmitigated, and to all the high doctrines of the Tory school, but not meeting with support_from the moderate party, they voted for a secession,_ and ,off they fly to form a new hive. The ultra Tory papers are anxious to impress on their readers the conviction, that all this is only a proof of the increase of Conservatism, while it is the best pos sible proof of the spread of dissent. The house is divided against itself. Sir Robert Peel will not go the " whole hog," and the Buckinghamites are herefore determined to open business on their own account. They cannot forgive Peel's backslidings, his denunciation of the Orange " vagabonds," his advocacy of free commercial intercourse ; and his eternal lectures about patience and prudence, while they are fully pre pared, and also able, in their own opinion, to take both the Palace and Downing-street by storm. Their rage against their nominal leader is intense, and though con cealed by the more prudent of the party, it has dis tinctly displayed itself lately in several parts of the country, and threatens one day some grand eruption. A part of the plan, also, is to establish a Journal of their own, which shall respond cordially to the outpour ings of the Brad haws and M'Ghees, and far surpass any of the present day in London, in exciting the ani mosity of one portion of the community against another. We hear the Club is to be called the " Brunswick." The " Cumberland" would be a fitter name.

WOODEN PAVEMENT.—At a meeting of the Southampton Board, held April 23, it was unanimously agreed to pave Bargate and part of High-street, with wooden blocks, similar to those laid down opposite Whitehall, London. Captain Ward, at a previous meeting of the Board, was requested to inspect the Whitehall pavement, and report thereon ; and be bore testimony to its utility and improvement over any other mode hitherto adopted. Bordeaux Courier, May 1, 1540.--IVood Paveitient is now a subject under discussion, and one of our streets is to be paved forthwith on the same princi ple as that laid at Whitehall, London, with the gteatcst success If we may judge from the models we have seen, this invention appears to us as ingenious as useful—and advantageous by its durability and evenness of surface. We shall very soon be able to judge from our own experience of the superiority of this pavement, which will almost assimilate the thoroughfares of our streets to the inlaid floors of our saloons.

CO VI OP QUEEN'S BENCH, ./kLir ll. 61iL7Rtill;RA'tES.--I‘llE kstiN thOltooo oo . t ( P priiikled from our Paper of Sresttidaq. Lord DE . N:;fi& thoyght it would b'e better; tinder all ate circtithstat4a, to allow the cafe to stand over for an lied or two, to give Sir 1 , 1 7 !!!Ith:ti rdlleti tide in look into the Act of Parliament. After the lapse of about an hour, .Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT begged to resume his arguments in the case of the Queen v. Thorogood. He believed, in consequence of the observations that had fallen from their Lordships, that it would not be necessary for him to trouble them with any arguments as to the au thority of the Velesiastical Court in the present case. It would be a monstrous construction of the Act to limit. the authority of the Court in such cases. The second objection was rather of a technical nature, and referred to the want of addition to the defend ant. Now, the statute to which his Learned Friend re ferred was the sth of Elizabeth, which, their Lordships would find, referred only to writs De excommunicatione capiendo, and not De conturnacio capiendo. The Act which bore upon the present case was the 53d Geo. 111., chap. 127, entitled " An Act for the better regulation of Ec clesiastical Courts, and the more easy recovery of Church rates and Tithes." It began by reciting, that whereas it was expedient that excommunication and all proceedings conseqUent thereon should be discontinued, and certain other regulations made with regard to Ecclesiastical Courts, and more convenient modes adopted for the rcco vi ry of the tithes, &c. ; that from and after the passing of the Act, excommunication should, save in certain cases, be discontinued, and, instead thereof, the Judges should issue their citation and pronounce such parsons guilty of contempt, and within ten days thereof should issue the sig nificavit to them. The forms of the citation and signifi- cavit were then set forth, and no addition whatever was set forth in either. The addition referred merely to the writ of excommunication, the other objection with respect to the siguificavit not having been issued within 10 days. That he should meet in the same way, for there was no direction in the Act to issue the significavit in 10 days. The third objection was want of jurisdiction, and with that ho had already dealt. Now, his Learned Friend could not pretend to say that all these proceedings were not regular, but that they were not set out on the face of the proceedings. There was a further objection which had been disposed of by Mr. Baron Parke, and it was this—they say, " Your rate is void, and all your proceedings are void, not because you have not followed the form prescribed by the Act of Par 'lament, but because certain words contained in the &gni. ticavit are not in the form of the Act." The Learned Counsel here referred to the words introduced into the significavit, which he contended did not in any way affect the validity of the document. The last objection he should notice was, that the citation should have b:en in the name of the Commissary, and not in the pame of the Bishop of London; but it appeared that in consequence of a vi sitation to that part of his diocese, therßiehop of . London had issued an inhibition to prevent the Commissary acting as such for three rnonthe, from the 17th of September to the 30. h of November. During that period the Commissary had no authority, and could not have acted in the case. The only authority before whom he could he cited, then, was the Vicar-General of the Diocese. He submitted, upon all these grounds, that the rule must be discharged. Sir F. PoneocK, in support of the rule, said their Lordships might suppose that the present case had else where introduced other topics than what legally belonged to it. With these he had nothing to do; his only object was to ascertain whether the imprisonment of. this indivi dual was authorized by law, and had been correctly ad judged. And tho omission of a single letter from any part of the proceedings, like the omission of the letter S where the Sheriffs were called Sheriff, end in which their Lordships had decided that the party was illegally detained in custody; was as important to him ( Sir F. Pollock) as any general question of the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Court. The first objec tion was, that the party had not been cited before as proper authority; and he maintained, notwithstanding the inhibition which his Learned Friend had put in, that the citation should have been before the Court of, Contentious jurisdiction. It was clear that the inhibition of the Bishop only referred to the voluntary jurisdiction, and not what was called the Contentious jurisdiction, which "'as the peculiar province of the Ecclesiastical Judge. It- was clear also that this was not a case in which the Commissary could be in'-ibited by the Bishop. because he held his office abso lutely fur life, and the Bishop had no power to inhibit or remove him. In Burn's Ecclesiastical law, the distinc tion between Voluntary and Contentious jurisdiction was fully defined, and indeed the circumstance of the Bishop going into that part of the diocese had nothing to go with an inhibition to the Commissary, because its terms were— You shall not presume to visit the churches, or the clergy, or exercise any other thing be longing to Ecclesiastical jurisdiction: or do anything to the prejudice of our visitation." Neither from the terms of the writ of inhibition, nor its object and pur port, nor the law upon which it was founded, nor the right of the Judge, who was appointed for life, could the Commissary be inhibited in his Contentious jurisdiction, unless by a superior spiritual Court. The citation was correct enough, but it should have been a citation calling upon the party to appear before the Commissary, within whose jurisdiction he lived, and not before the Vicar- General, within whose jurisdiction be did not live. The next point was that the Ecclesiastical Court had no jurisdiction, or in other words, that the jurisdic tion of the Court did not appear. The Act die tinctly stated that " nothing herein contained shall interfere with the authority of the Ecclesiastical Court in sums above 101." Now that plainly in timated that as the Act was not to interfere . in cases over 101. , it was intended to interfere in cases under 101., unless the party had been previously before the Justices. That not having been the case here, it was clear that the Court had no jurisdiction. There was a case before the Eccle siastical Court of Hereford at the present moment, which was suspended on that very point. The next objection to which lie would refer was that there was no addition. The defendant was designived " John Thorogood, of the parish of Chelmsford, in the county,of Essex," but there was no addition of knight, esquire, gentleman, farmer, labourer, or anything of that sort. The citation; the significavit, the writ, and the warrant all followed the same form, hay ing no addition to the name. Now, both the statute of Elizabeth and the 53d 'Geo. 111. concurred in the neces- Sits , of an addition, without which it was distinctly held that the proceedings must be null and void. The next objection referred to the omission of the ten days being set out in the signifieavit, and on that point, at all events, his Learned Friend was clearly out of Court. From anything appearing on the face of the document as to the time when the contempt was committed, it might have occurred at so distant a period of time as to oust the Bishop of any au thority he had. On these grounds he trusted their Lordships would consider that the party was entitled to have the writ set aside. His Learned Friend had relied upon the decision of Baron Petite, before whom the case came on a motion for a writ of Habeas Corpus. He had the learned Baron's judgment, and it was clear from it that many of the points now presented to their Lord ships had never come before him. Independently of that, it was one of the blessings of Weir constitution that the decision of one Judge might be appealed from to another, and the greatest latitude was allowed in all cases where the liberty of the subject was concerned. In the case now before the Court, he submitted that the authority of the Commissary was not taken away by the inhibition, and that the party ought to have been cited before him, and not before the Vicar-General. He submitted that the authority of the. Court to interfere at all was not disclosed in any part of the proceedings. He sub mitted further, that it did not appear even where the party ought to have gone, or when. He submitted that the citation of the Bishop should have been set out— that the statute of additions applied to the present case. and that the want of that. addition in the form given in the Act was no answer to the objection. He submitted lastly, that there ought to have appeared on the face of the citation the offence complained ofe and that the significavit should have been shown to have been issued 10 days after the of fence had been committed, of which there was no proof whatever.. On these grounds he trusted that their Lordships would be of opinion that the proceedings ought to be quashed, and the party who had now been in confinement over since - January 1839 should be set at liberty. He regretted that these objections had not been taken some time ago, in older that. the unfortunate defendant might have thrown around e leine that protection which by the common law of the land hiswas.entitled to. Mr. MANNINO and Mr. Real:vex followed on the same side, and. The COURT said they must look more minutely into the case before pronouncing their judgment. - The arguments occupied the Court for upwards of five hours. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MAY 12. THE NORTHAM BRIDGE-ROAD COMPANY V. SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. KNIGHT Baum , . said that on behalf of the plaintiffs he had simply to move his Honour for an injunction, in this case against the defendants, to restrain them from using the railway, as an inevitable consequence of the de cision the Court had come to yesterday. He felt it to be perfectly unnecessary to offer another observation then to the Court. Mr. M. D. HILL appeared on behalf of the defendants. It was with very great reluctance that he again appeared before his Honour in this case, and he could appeal to ,his Learned Friend, Mr. Jacob, to confirm his statement, that it was only at the earnest solicitation of that Learned Gentleman that he did a} tear, because, in truth, he felt that the legitimate labours'of both the Solicitor-General and himself in that court had terminated yesterday. But, however, as the granting of an injunction was founded more on the dictates of natural justice, than depending upon the display of any extra learning in equity. he hoped he should bo excused for going into the case. The facts of this case were fully before the Court in June last, and he should briefly rccal them to his Honour's attention. The Learned Counsel then proceeded at considerable length to argue against the injunction. Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE replied, when Tne V:cE- CHANCELLOR, on the understanding that the defendants would commence immediately the building of the bridge for the passage of the Nortbam-bridge-road, directed the motion to stand over, with liberty for either party to apply to the. Court ; and the motion made by tbo defendants the preceding sl2y was dismissed with costs.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC jOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) Who are the Repeaters ? The 'Government, whose mild, Lemma equitable, and paternal sway, has con ciliated the affections and won the confidence of the Irish nation—or the tactic:a, whose reckless and insane hostility has lashed them into fury ? Who are the Repeaters? The Government, whose motto has been " to Ireland," and whose earnest desire and strenuous eir . olts have boot to assimilate the laws and institutions of both eunntries, and thus extend to every Irishman, without respect to treed, the full privileges and rights of a British subject; and thus render England and Ireland, in reality, what they are in name, integral portions of a " United Kingdom"--or the House of Lords, which has thrown out three successive Bills for Municipal Reform in Ireland, and which at this moment avows an in tention of dealing in the same manner with the fourth, unless it can be clipped and pared down into a measure which shall leave the corporations of Ireland what they are at present—hostile for:eesses planted in the midst of a hostile population_outworks of an obnoxious ascendancy —strongholds of a ditested faction ? Who are the Re peaters ? The Government, who carry into operation the plain meaning] and avowed intention of the Catholic Emancipation Act—or the men who raise a howl of rage at the appointment of a solitary Roman Catholic Privy Couucillor ? In fine, Who are the Repeaters? The men, to keep whom in (Igice the grateful high nation are predated to make any sacrifice—or the men, to keep whom out of office they are prepared to go to any extremes? (From the Standard.) The Bishop of Exeter might hare epared himself the trouble of explaining, as he did last nigL, that he had never spoken disrespectfully of the Ecclesiastica;Fstablish ment in Scotland, or refused to it the character of a Chris tian Chur c h. The very parties who charged his Lordship with the expressions disclaimed by him, and proved by the united testimonies of Lords Haddington, Lans downe, and others, never to have fallen from his lips—well knew, that when making the charge they were giving ut terance to a falsehood—well knew, that what his Lordship said was this, that though the Church of Scotland is by law established in that part of Great Britain to which its name directs, it :s not the Established Church of the em pire. This proposition is too obviously incontrovertible to allow of hanging a calumny upon ic, and therefore it was mis quoted by those vi ho lose no opportunity of reviling the met; they fear—reviling of course those most bitterly whom they fear most. fig this class of men, most dreaded by the haters of all that is good, the Bishop of Exeter justly occupies a high, perhaps the highest place : his surpassing talents— his untiring zeal—his fearlessness—and, above all, his spotless character, and exemplary devotion to the duties of his sacred office—mark him out as a man at once to be dreaded, and to he successfully assailed only by misre presentation and falsehood. As we have said, therefore, hie Lordship may spare himself the pains of correcting misrearescotation and exposing falsehood. ( From the Courier.) It is fortunate for the country that the Conservative Opposition in the House of Commons is composed of men who are sincerely desirous of promoting "good Govern ment," without regard to party.politics; and that feeling it to be their duty to take upon themselves one of the most important functions of a Government, that of instituting beneficial mtasures for the consideration of Parliament, it is not less fortunate that " her Majesty's Oppo sition" possess the experience and ability as well as the will to enable them to supply the deficiencies of the men to whom the Government of the country is at pre sent confided. Sir Robert Peel last night, called the attention of the Governineut? to the evil effects result ing from the continuance 'on the Statute-Book of that part of the Law of Rating iskich renders the stock of a trader liable to be included in the, amount of value by which the rate to be levied on him is to be regulated. As the law at present exists, the stock of a trader is iiable to the poo: -rate. So the Court of Queen's Bench has decided ; arid the Poor-law Commissioners, acting on this decision, have given notice that any rate made without including the stock of the trader is invalid. Now, although such is the law, every one knows that such has not been the practice ; the difficulty of earning such a law into effect is such that by a tacit understanding, it has not been attempted to be enforced. Though law, it was obsolete law.

He thought he was correct in making that statement. To that application the Hon. Secretary nad made no answer, o, and his proposition had been met only by cries of " Nev,.. no, go on, go on ;" so that he had no other alternative but to proceed with his motion ; and to the question whether he was justified or not in so doing, he could only answer that he thought he was justified When a majority of the douse had decided in favour of his motion.—(Cheers.) Such being the case, he naturally expected there would be no further opposition to the issuing of the writ.. It had Leen decided in his favour by a full House—(Cheers)—the House coosistiug of nearh 460 Members.—( Cheers.) In such a fall House as that, . he had been supported by a y Ma'orit of 11.—(Loud cheers.) After such a decision, 1 be ' had hoped that he should not have ericouretered any further opposi. flog. But the minority, who, h imagined that they would have heent e he majority—(Op position had (Op- position cheers)—had felt thei r di sa p po i ntment so * great— (Clieers)—that unable either to bridle their passion, or to restraiu their resentment—( Loud cheers)—they had de.: termined to have reoourse to fornis, fur the purpose of de- feating the decision of the House. Every - body in the House knew tie power that could be exercised by a species of Parliamentary tactics which the public perhaps did not altogether understand. Every Member of Parliament was aware that the mino rity had it in their power, by having recourse to t h ese tac ti cs , to defeat a majority. This power, it was true, Will , not often put in force. He bad always thought it a great Meet in the law that such a power should exist, and if it. were often put in practice be was sure it would be found necessary eventually to provide some remedy for this defect. 'Perhaps no person was more conversant with minorities than himself---( Cheers from the Ministerial beriehes)—euriog twenty-eight years that he had been in Parliament. yrith.the exception of one short . Session, it had been his misfortune always to take his seat. on the Opposition benches.—( Cheers and laughter.) He was, therefore well used to minorities. Ile was far from contending that minorities were always in the wrong ; on • . tLe contrary, he thaught that minorities were frequently in th e ri g tit._ ( Hear, hear.) But, oa the otner hand, he would' contend, tw at a minority either in the House of Commons or elsewhere, seere called upon to bow to the decision of the majarty,—(' c Hear, hear," and cheers.) If such were not the case, how could any business [so carried on''. —( Hear, hear.) Hr condemned altogether this system,' and although be had frequently voted in minorities, he had never in any singic instance countenanced any factious proceeding of that sort.—( Hear.) It was not for him to say what coa r se should he pursued. but this he might say, that although the House had de cided that the writ should not be issued, if he could only find three other Members to back him,as had been stated by the Hon. Member fur Kilkenny, he should feel it his duty to stop all other public business.—(Hear, hear.) The . Hon. Member concluded, by moving that a new writ should issue for the borough of Ludlow. Calonel S I JiTHORP seconded the motion. Mr. E. .1 STANLEY agreed with the Noble Lord, that the country would duly appreciate the proceedings • of the House last night —( ficar)—and ac: accordingly. Those proceedings would not eaaily be forgotten, and he would venture to say they would have !heir weight with the ' country. He thought the House ought to be most careful . before it issued a new writ for the borough u Ludlow. lie found in the Illorning Peal that " Mr. Stanley sa i d he dis tinctly told the Noble Lord it was the anxious %visa of his Noble Friend to be present, and se propose some mea.sure to check the system of corruption that had been practiss.d at the recent election." In the 7 iwa there was sa_ similar report of what he had stated. He thought these quotations from Papers not advocatilig the principles he professed was a fair representation of what took place, and therefore he confidently appealed to the lioth'e and the country, whether he did not rest his case for p:461.- ponement on the unavoidable absence of the Noble Lord;.• and his anxious desire to be present.—(Hear, hear.) lie had staled it was the intention of the Niible Lord to pro pose some measure to check those evils. What he had stated to the Noble Lord in the morning was, that ire could not say whether it was the intention of his Noble Friend to move the further postponement of the - writ, because he was not prepared to say what would be done on the proposition he intended to make, or what ulterior course he might think it right to propose. He certainly had thought he had asked for nothing more than; had been almost ' invariably conceded.—( Hear, bear.) The appeal which the Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire, made on a former night, was wil lingly and cheerfully responded to.—(hear, hear.) He - Tight also mention an instance in the other House of . _ Parliament is here a measure of the greatest importance was postponed for the convenience of a Noble sad Learned Lord who was on a visit in the country.—( Loud cheers.) He thought that in this ease ;i:.• might fairly contend: for the postponement, inasmuch as. this . : was not the case of a writ bring issued on the death of an inciirdual, or on the recession of an individual to office, but a a rit IN:jog issued after a grave and solemn consideration of a great Oa" of evidence specially reported by a Committee of the Maytag of COMIIIOIIR, in which it was stated that bribery and treating had existed to an alarmieg, extent. —( No, no ! hear. hear.) • Bribery had certainly exist( (1, and treating to a very great exterv. The !louse had expressed a wishto take into con sideration the evidence, and if it had not. been intended to propose certain ulterior measures be knew not why tar House did not i minediately proceed to the consideration of it. That being the case, and his Noble Friend having ex pressed a wish to be in esent open the debate, basing r pressed his wish to introduce some general measure in order to attempt to clack dirge practices, he thought it was not too much to ask for the postponement of the issuing of the writ for three days—(Cheers)—until his Noble Friend should he in his place. The Earl of DARLINGTON was certainly not an swerable for what appeared in the newspapers, but the lion. Gentleman had certainly never once said that he ap plied to him on the account or at the request of the Noble Lord. What he had said was that he wanted the discus: sion of both writs to go together. Mr. STANLEY said the impression was strong upon his mind that he had given his reason for asking the post ponement of the motion, and it was confirmed by what had taken place in the house respecting the writ for Cambridge. Mr. HORSNIAN wished to say a few words upon the sui jest. In consequence of what had taken place, he be begged to call the attention of the House to the latter proceedings of the Committee. It was true the Committee had net reported as to general bribers, but there were allegations of general bribery which counsel wanted to prove, but the Committee declined. They came to the resolution that Henry Clive was guilty, by hirns?ll and agents, of treating. Counsel were then asked what course they intended to pursue. Mr. Cockburn wished to pioceed to prose general bribe r,, with a view to ulterior proceedings. Atter a' othe; consultation, the Learned Gentleman said he v ould proceei with his proof in ti:e case of Thomas Ilevriek, and havnii , concluded that he would leave the eac. in "the bands of the Copititttce, The Committee had found on a single case that lir. Clive had been guilty, through his agents, of bribery at the Lud= low election. But what had conic out on that single case ? Let the House hear the conversation which had taken place on the occasion between the party who had been_ bribed, and :he person who had offered the bribe, who was the wife of the agent. " She asked if 301. would do. said no. What did she say then ? She asked if .iOl. would do. I said no again, ss I understand you were giving loot What did she say in answer ? She said no, and that 501. was 10/. more than they had given to anybody."--Loud cries of " Hear, hear. hear," from the Ministerial benches. ) The House should feel that witness on the occasion was a credible one. becaure it was on his evidence the Committee had come tea that decision. When that case had come before the Coto mittee they) had been precluded from the inquiry. He (Mr. Horaman) wished that before the writ was issued the evidence should come under the conside ration of the House. He had stated that to his Noble Friend the Secretary for the Treasury, and he had wished to state it to the Noble Lord—(Darlington) but he had not an opportunity of doing so. On Ttusday night he was not in the House when the matter was alluded to. He was told last night that a request war to be made to the Noble Lord as to the postponement of the writ, and there was certainly a belief on his side of the House —( Hear, bear) there was a belief that the. request would be complied with. He was very sure thin if the request had been properly understood by Hen. Gentlemen opposite, they would have been ready to accede to it. He thought that as two days were all that had been asked for, in order to enter into a further investigation of the case, such a wish should have Ince complied with.—( Hear, hear.) He would in that tale have deferred to the judgment of the House, and even now if Hon. Gentlemen would come to as arrangement, he would not press the motion which he had to submit to the House on the subject. Should no such arrangement be come to; he would matte ,the following reotien " That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the extent to which treating bribery and corruption prevailed at the late and at the previous elections for the borougb of Cam bridge, and that pending the inquiry, the writ for the borough be not issued." Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division took place ; and en our return to the Gallery we found Lord PALMERSTON on his legs. He had hoped that his Honourable Friend, Mr. Horsman, would base moved agaiu the motion he had made last ight, that the debate s !. ould be adjourned to T hursday. If he had done so, he should have felt it his iduty to have voted with him. If the House was prepared to decide upon the present motion, he, for one, would vote with hie Noble Friend. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House crivb!cd, when there appeat ed— For the amendment Against it Majority against the amendment —36 On the original question being put from the chair, Mr. WA R. 13 R.TON said that he Bose for the purpose of moving that the farther consideration of this question should be adjourned to Thursday next. He merely - pro posed that the further consideration of this question should be deferred to the earliest day on which the Noble Lord who represented the Government in that House could. at. tend, and he did this on the ground of the effect which would be produced upon the other boroughs of the United Kingdom if the delinquincies of the borough of Ludlow were passed over as nothing out of the usual coque r -and if no notice were taken of the transactions which bad taken place in that borough. It seemed to him that the best step the House could have taken would hail. been to have assented to the motion which had been negatived. But as that motion had been negatived, he wished to know from the Noble Lord what shield of protection he would spread over the other boroughs of the United Kingdom . ? How would he protect them from the occurrence of such transac. tiQIIS as bad taken place in the borough of Ludlow ? Th. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, IlfAr 12. The SPEMAR took the Chair at Four o'Clock. On the motion of Captain ALSAGER, the Thanes Tunnel Mil was read a third time and passed. Mr. COLLIER moved the second reading of the Mill Bay (Devon) Bill. Mr. LABOUCHER h; would not oppose the second reading of the Bill; but unless certain portions of it woe very much altered in the Committee, he would oppose it on bringing on the Report. Lord ELIOT ' said that he also had objections to the Bill, of a ditlvrent nature from those expressed by the Right Hors. Gentleman; but he would not oppose the second reading, in the hope that his objectiobs would be removed in the Committee. The Bill was then read a second time. Mr. DI VETT presented a petition from Exeter, against the Exeter Port Dues Bill. The York Improvement Bill, and the Newcastle Water works Bill, were read a third time and passed. On the motion of Lord LOWTHER, the Lords' aunrndments to the Workington Market and Improve ment Bills were read and agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER move] the third reading of the Portsmouth Floating Bridge Bill. Captain PECHELL opposed it on the ground that the Bill was totally unnecessary. Sir THOS. TROUBRIDGE said that if the c!au.es approved of by the Admiralty Engineer were added to the Big, be would not oppose the third reading. The Ad. miraity had thought proper to see that the rights of the wow:-lien were prettrved, but thcy.laad not thought proper to interfere with a great public improvemen'. Lord A. LENNOX hoped the third reading would be postponed till to--norrow. Mr. WILSON P.VI TEN said the greatest excite ment prevailed in Portsmouth and its neighbourhood relative to this Bill, and it would be better to postpone the Bill for a week, in order that every precaution might he taken to secure the rights of parties that would be af fected by it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no objection to postpone the Bill till Thursday, but he could not consent to any further delay. Sir J. GRAHAM begged to ask the Gallant Admiral whether La was aware that an order had been issued by the Company prohibiting all vessels, including those belonging to the Royal Navy, from anchoring within a certain distance of this flo'.ting bridge? Sir T. TROUBRIDGE bad never heard of any such order, and did not believe it was possible that any such order could have been made. Sir J. GRAHAM could assure the Gallant Gentleman that such an order had been issued. It wa3 important, and ought to be inquired into. Mr. W. FATTEN had seen the order, and it was said to be by order of the Board of Directors. Mr. MIL DNI AY thought the order a very proper one. An anchor getting amongst the chains of the bridge might endanger the lives of a vast number of people. NIr:AGLIONBY said the House would not have time to make themselves acquainted with the clauses by Thurs. day. He thought the Bill ought not to be pressed before Tcesday next. Mr. E STCO LT RT quite agreed with the Hon. Mem. ber for Cockermouth. The present case showed the practical inconvenience of the present practice of bring. ing up clauses—in fact, making a new Bill—those clauses never having been considered in Committee. He thought any Member would be justified in moving the recommittal of the Bill. Captain PECH E LI, would withdraw his amendment, on the understanding that the Bill would not be proceeded in before Tuesday. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then withdrew the motion for the third reading of the Bill until Tuesday next.

Also fourteen petitions from Cheshire and Derbyshire against the present Corn-laws, and a petition to the same effect from the Isle of Wight. Mr. THORNE LY presented a petition from Liverpool praying for a reduction of the duties on foreign coffee. Mr. VILLIERS gave notice that ho would bring on his motion on the Corn-laws on the 26th of this month. Mr. PR YME gave notice that he would move the same amendments on the motion of the Hon. Member for Wol verhampton which he had formerly done. NEW WRIT. Mr. STANLEY wished to move for a new writ if there were no objection to his doing so.—( Laughter from the Opposition benches.)

PALMER gave notice that if he should be pre vented from bringing forward his motion as to China this evening he should postpone it to the earliest opportunity. he would name the 28th—before. if he could.—( A laugh. ) BRAZIL.

IRISH CLERGY. Mr. F.

LUDLOW ELECTION. The Earl of DARLINOTON then rose and said be had to make the very same motion which be had made last night for the issuing a new writ for the borough of Ludlow. He wished not to advert to what had passed last night further than to say that he thought it would be for the credit of the House that these proceedings should be erased from their journals—( Cheers from both sides)—and that they must excite throughout the country astonishment only equalled by disgust.—( Renewed cheers from both sides.) He thought the public should be in possession of the real facts just as they had taker, place. And as a very slight inaccuracy in terms would often create a very serious misapprehension in substance, he wished just to correct a slight error in the reports which had I gone abroad of what he had laid last nights It 1
