LORD HOLLAND'S PARK. Yesterday a public meeting of the vestry of Kensing ton was convened et the Nat anal School-rooms, to take into consie,eratiun p:vposai from Lord Holland, having for its object the diverting of a public footpath, which has been for some years in existence, with a view to granting the parishioners another, more generally con ducive to tl.eir convenience. The proposal made by Lord Holland, and the particu lars of his previous application to the vestry, have already appeared, so that it will be unnecessary to go at any length int.) detail. A vestry was summoned about n fortnight since, to receive his Lordship's proposal, but the chair man having expressed some doubts as to its lega lit y , Owing to the defective manner in which it, was convenecl, the meeting was adjourned until yesterday. For some plays past placards of a most infamous character, reflect ng upon the Noble Lord, have been printed and distri buted throughout the parish by some persons, whose con duct was most severely censured in the vestry. At the vestry meeting yesterday, Mr. BELLWORTHY, the churchwarden, presided, and read the proposals which had been submitted by his Lordship. A good deal of boisterous discussion ensued. Mr. CAMPBELL contended that the new path through the park which Lord Holland had proposed in lieu of the old one would be of great public advantage, and of very material advantage to the inhabitants of Kensing ton. On these grounds he moved that his Lordship's Proposals should be accepted. Mr. BURNE seconded the motion. Mr. MILEY regretted that no man of rank or station Was to be found ready to fight the battle of the public against this attempt of Lord Holland to infringe upon the public rights. The path which it was now proposed to close had been in existence upwards of 250 years, having been formed by Sir W. Cope, and subsequently much beautified by the Earl of Warwick in 1600. It was not, therefore, a thing of yesterday. The house in which Lord Holland resided was one of the Most ancient mansions in the country. In it Russell, Fairfax, Hampden, Pym, and others assem bled to oppose the arbitrary acts of Charles, and Laud and Strafford. There Cromwell and Fairfax met to concert the measures which they intended to carry into operation. There Addison, the poet, died; and last, though not least, there lived the late Lord Holland,who, as a statesman, reflected undying honour upon his coun try. From a view of that ancient house it was now Proposed to exclude the parishioners of Kensington and the public generally, by means of closing up the old path and giving them a new walk which was greatly in terior to it. He moved as an amendment that it was in expedient to divert the old path, and that Lord Holland's Proposals should be rejected. Mr. SULLIVAN seconded the amendment. Captain Hood, Mr. Davis, Mr. Hanson, Mr. Hawks, Mr. Herapath, Mr. Cousins, Mr. Browne, and other gentlemen, subsequently addressed the meeting. After a very stormy discussion, The CHAIRMAN put the amendment and the original resolution to the meeting. The former was lost, and the latter a dopted almost unanimously. Lord Holland's proposals have therefore been agreed to. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro ceedings. FOREIGN ORDERS OF KNIGHT HOOD. (From the Lon 'cn Gazette.) The following regulations r spectine• foreign orders conferred upon British subjects, which have been esta blished by the Queen and by her royal predecessors, are published for general information :- 1.

In addition to the above regulations of the King, his l'°Yal Highness the Prince Regent deemed it expedient to announce, in the year 1812: 5 . " That no subject of his Majesty could be allowed to accept the insignia of a foreign order from any sove reign of a foreign state, except they shall be so con ferred in consequence of active and distinguished ser vices before the enemy, either at sea or in the field; or unless he shall have been actually employed in the ser- Vice of the foreign sovereign." And in March, 1813, his Royal Highness was pleased to command that the following proviso should be there fore inserted in all royal war r a nts for the acce p tance of foreig n orders:- 6 . " That his Majesty's license and permission doth not authorise, and shall not be deemed or construed to authorise, the assumption of any style, appellation, rank, krecedence ' or privilege appertaining unto a Kni g ht aehel or o f these realm. , " 1 , 17 .13. —Before the Principal Secretary of State for c'rEign Affairs takes the Prince Regent's pleas ire on any application for an officer in the army to be per- Plitted to accept a foreign order, he cauies the same to be referred to the C omman d er -i n -Chi e f, through his Royal Highness's secretary, to know whether or not his Royal Highn ess sees any objection to the P r i nce R ege nts pleasure being taken thereupon. And if the application be in favour of a naval officer, the Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs com municates with the First Lord of the Admiralty to the Doing effect, previous to the Prince Regent's p leasure Doing taken thereon. (Signed) CASTLEREAGH. Her Majesty has been pleased to direct 7. " That if the service for which it is proposed to Confer the order has been performed during war, the notification required by the second regulation must be Made not later than two years after the exchange of the atifleations of a treaty of peace . „ If the service has been performed in time of p eace, ne notification must be made within two years of the gate of such service. 8 . " When a British subject has received the royal Permission to accept a foreign order, he will at any future time be allowed to accept the decora tion of n a higher class of the same order, to which he oreigmay have become eligible by increase of rank in the service, or in the service of his own country ; °r any other distinctive mark of honour strictly con -Bequent upon the acceptance of the original order, and common to every person upon whom such order is conferred." _..

The Queen has made known her pleasure:— . 9 * " That the Bth clause of the regulation respecting V re ign orders shall not be taken to apply to decora- ETs of the Guelphic Order which were bestowed on British subjects by her predecessors, their Majesties hell George IV. and King William IV., on whose . e C rowns of Great Britain and Hanover were united. " Decorations so bestowed cannot properly be con sidered as rewards g ranted by a foreign sovereign for services rendered according to the purport of the sth gered clause of the r egu l a ti ons . They must be rather consi as personal favours bestowed on British subjects by British sovereigns, and as having no reference to ser vices rendered to the foreign Crown of Hanover." (Signed) ABERDEEN.

Lord BROUGHAM considered that a great waste of time resulted from the method of giving the Royal As. sent by commission during the business hours of the House. Formerly it was given at a much earlier period of the day, and a saving of public time was effected. He moved that the Committee appointed to inquire into the forms of the House should also take the subject of Royal Commissions into their consideration. He moved that Lord Ellenborougb, Lord Redesdale, and Lord Shaftes bury be added to the Committee.—Agreed to. JUVENILE WOFFITHENDERS THE COMMONS. BILL—CONFERENCE Messengers from the House of Commons appeared at the bar, and requested a conference with their Lordships upon the Juvenile Offenders Bill. The following noblemen were selected to act for their Lordships :—The Bishop of St. Asaph, the Earl of Devon, the Earl of Eglintoun, Lord Monteagle, Lord Kinnaird, and Lord Portman. On their return, they reported the reasons of the Commons' disapproval of their Lordships' amendments. They were ordered to lie upon the table of the House. Lord RODEN called the attention of the House to the third report of the Commissioners appointed under the Act 10th Viet., cap. 7, for the relief of distress in Ireland, it having been stated therein, "that in some cases the very chairmen of the relief committees, being magistrates, have sanctioned the issue of rations to tenants of their own of considerable holdings, possessed of live stock, and who it was found had paid up their last half-year's rent, and that intimidation—a very com mon cause of abuse—has in some cases been openly encouraged by the committees." He moved that copies of allinformations connected with these transactions which had been made to the commissioners, together with the names of such chairmen of committees and justices of the peace referred to in the report be laid upon the table of the House. He would occupy the attention of the House but a very short time, while he direeted their Lordship's attention to the very serious matter charged against high persons in authority in Ireland, in the re port to which he alluded. He hoped their Lordships would grant the motion which he now made, so long as such charges were preferred by anonymous writers in the public papers. He did not consider it his duty to interfere or endeavour to protect the landed interest from the base calumnies to which they were daily subjected. He did not mean to say that there were not some persons who had acted in the foul manner intimated, but he did consider it was but an act of justice to the resident gentry of Ireland to lay upon the table of the House the names of the guilty parties. He would not enter into a detail of the calamities which had befallen his fellow-countrymen. There was a sufficient proof in the unbounded charity of the English people that they were known and felt, and deeply sympathised in. —(Hear, hear.) The Protestant gentry had also done themselves immortal credit ; they had shared their last morsel with their Roman Catholic brethren, and the Protestant clergy gave up their own necessary comforts to alleviate the distresses of their neighbours ; and, in fact, the more he considered the conduct of the gentry in Ireland, the more he was persuaded that the present report was false, calumnious, libellous, and a one-sided report, which was wholly unworthy of the confidence of their Lordships.—(Hear, hear.) The report was regarded with one universal feeling of sorrow and annoyance by all classes in Ireland, and many gentlemen who had given their whole time to the relief of the poor in acting upon committees, were now quite unprepared to . take further responsibility upon them , lest they might be considered to be included in the charges made by the 1 commissioners. It would have the effect of banishing many of those gentlemen who had so acted. The Noble Lord then read several letters from influential gentlemen in various parts of Ireland, who had anxiously laboured in the cause of humanity for eight months, and who all denounced, in the strongest language, the report, which they termed as false and libellous, and unworthy of credence. The Noble Lord then went on to read the report, which stated that the objects of the Act could easily have been carried into effect, if the persons who had entered upon the undertaking had done so with honesty and earnestness of purpose, and that a trust worthy local management was generally unattainable for smaller limits than those of a union. The report . fur ther noticed a gradation from the spirit of perfection which in general animated relief committees, to a coun teracting spirit in the body, "a wrong feeling of one entire class, a degree of apathy or neglect on the part of f some, or the whole a yislding to intimid ation, or seeking for popularity, leading to the abandonment of any a t t h te a m t p ~ to check fraud, down to the last degree—na i ne%, a plic o o. ! actual connivance at the grossest frauds, and 1 Nmobler Lord tion of the means at their disposal. having read several extracts from he a r epor t, con chided by moving his resolution. .

It was not a wonder that the Noble Lor d should feel anxious to clear some o hisf fellow coun tr y men th .from this charges imputed to them. ' But, while be admitted natural anxiety, he would no t agree that such a motion ought to be agre e d i n . All the commiss ion ers haddone was the taking of a substan tial view of the m eans taken for carrying on a mea e which had been enacted under circumstance of pe culiar difficulty ; and they had abstained from di recting attention to any particular locality which would l ea d tc, 0 discovery of the persons implicated. The MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of July 9.) SCGAR.—To-day there was a stronger desire evinced to operate in all kinds of Raw Sugar, and for all pur poses, whilst 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 6d 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 sells freely at 32s to 32s 6d for fine. FOREIGN.—To-day 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. MAußmos.—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 strong white Cossi pore were taken in at 565, which is above the valae. 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 353, low middling sound bold was take i in at 50s. 30 casks Jamaica in part sold at 48s to 60s, middling bought in at 86s to 88s. TEL—No further advance can be quoted in the value of black; but holders display firmness, 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 home 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 elightly gave way, but the whole offered sold. _ SPICES.—For Black Pepper former rates are required, but few sales have been matte privately in any sort, and 21d to 21c1 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 3id to sd, according to quality. Pimento is not so much in request, and a slight decline in the value occurred, whilst privat e ly f e w 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 d 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 b 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 Cd, and 50 bags silvers 5s to 5s ld. 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 former rates of 6d per cwt operated against business privately, and at auction 1794 bags of Calcutta were only in part disposed of. SPIRITS.—There is a very unfavourable opinion en tertained by all parties towards Rune 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 puns. 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 7d proof with certificate, still there are few buyers to be in m et with. Demerara has been operated with cau tion, and can be again obtained upon lower terins. There is a large quantity of all kinds of Rum p ressin g for sale, and an opinion exists that prices have not yet arrived at their lowest point. Brandy has met with mo re attention this week, but no improvement in the value. OlLs.—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 sales;4o tuns were all sold. For Cod there are few buyand the general quotation is still 271. For Pale Seal the demand has much increased whilst a rise in the value of lOs to 20s per tun took place. By private treaty a considerable business has been done at 271 lOs to 281, at which holder s are fi r m. In oth er q uali 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 tuna were sold. There are f u rther arrival s of Fish Oils, but the deliveries continue on the increase. Rap.e 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 orders in the market unexecuted. For Linseed Oil the market has assumed a quiet appearance , a nd a declinein the value took place, although the supp l y continues . to be small. On the spot the home trade b opr ted with been trifling. eters has caution, whilst the quantity taken y IAILWAY COMMITTEES. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY. Room B. COVENTRY, BANBURY, The Committee declared the pream ble of this Bill not proved. A ND ox.rOltn , EXETER AND EXMOUTII (ACT AMEND MENT BILL). The Committee decided that the preamble of this Bill was proved. LONDON AND NORTICAVESTERN (BRANCHES TO KENILWORTH AND BERKS. . _ WELL). The case for the promoters was opened, and evidence called in support thereof. Room C. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY (EDINBURGH STATION AND BRANCHES TO GRANTHAM AND TO THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW). The Committee were occupied with hearing evidence in support of the Bill. commissioners had not thrown any general censure upon the country, and they only pointed out some difficulties which obstructed their endeavours. The commissioners said that they had been so far effective, and they only St.ae(l iLaLL La %efy 111.. La; i!s not in even a large minor;ty—but in many cases, certain difficulties interposed. The commissioners, in a para graph which the Noble Earl had omitted to read, praised the conduct of those gentlemen who acted en the Finance Committee, which, be it remembered, was the highest and most confidential post that could be en trusted to any man or set of men. He considered that when a Commission was appointed to inquire into the general working of any measure, it would be highly im proper for them to descend into particular details by men tioning names. Supposing a Commission was appointed to inquire into smuggling, and they reported that there was a general feeling along the coast in favour of smug gling. Would it be wise, or prudent, or just, to men tion the names of the person's wives and daughters who felt that sympathy?—(Hear, hear.) He could bear his testimony to that of the Noble Lord, to the humane, charitable, and benevolent conduct of the gentry and clergy of Ireland during the calamity which had befallen the country. They had sacrificed their time, and in many instances, their lives, to alleviate the sufferings of their poorer neighbours.=(Hear, hear.) Such an in quiry ought not to be granted, if it were only from the lateness of the session, which would frustrate any useful end resulting from it. The Government did intend to inform su. - th of their officers as had been implicated, that a charge had been made against them, and they would then Cave an opportunity of defending themselves, and making a statement to the Government. Lord BROUGHAM recommended the withdrawal of the motion, but at the same time he thanked the Noble Earl for having brought the question under the atten tion of the House. He did consider that if the magis trates did not fully exculpate themselves, they shoulp be removed from the commission of the peace. It would not do for them to deny the charge upon their honour, as two Members of the Lower House had done—that would not do.—(Hear, hear.) They should fully ex culpate themselves, or be removed. He did not wish to know the names of the guilty parties, it would only give him an opportunity of despising a human creature, which was always a disagreeable sensation.—(Laughter.) Earl FITZWILLIAM said that, with every respect for the gentlemen who had made that report, he did think that it would have been better to have conceived it matter of a personal nature which he had given notice o f 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 T ues d ay l ast, i n t h e exerc i se o f t h a t ye‘ weiee it wee; se deseeei s's •I, tee, t 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." Ho I (Mr. Spooner) replied that he 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, " I am 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. ought If this were no t a b reac h o f p r i v il ege , it a t l e a s t assumed the char ac t er o f i nt i m id at i on, an d i t was con d uc t cer tainly that htHonuoset to to thebe withheld from the knowledge o f t h e House. He o w en ou el l e d dieg just call the attention of thegcircum stance, that whatever might be the ground of the charge which the lion. 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 was connected had been for two years recorded. But the Hon. Member for Montrose did not confine himself 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. Member thought that he had com mitted some violation of his Seduction Act—(Roars of laughter)—or what it might have been that the Honourable Member intended to charge him with. But he was now undeceived upon the point, and he would leave it to the House whether any lion. Member in it had ever heard a charge like this brought forward. It appeared to him that the Hon. Member ought to be I obliged to him instead of complaining of his conduct.— (Laughter.) What he had said to th Hon. Member for Birmingham was, " I see you voted against me last 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 Hon. Member for Gateshead had been influenced by external circumstances ; 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 bad 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 lion. Member for Montrose did not always exhibit a most perfect wisdom, nor was his language and demeanour, on all occasions, the most delicate and proper. He (Mr. Hutt) cared not for any a`tempts that might be made to asperse his relations by the Hon. Member for Montrose. lie always received them with cheerfulness, and it fact rather liked them. — (Laughter.) The Hon. 'Member then proceeded to state, that 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 carefully 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 nicationwould 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 Hon. 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. —(Hear, hear.) But this was utterly at variance with the truth.—(Hear, hear.) He sincerely trusted that the Hon. 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 Hon. 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 I 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 evotes. made use of the observations referred to , he (M r. Bankes) told him that he must be joking ; but he ( Mr. Hume) replied that it was no joke, tied that he should bring it 1 before the House. He (Mr. Bankes), however, was no party t o the Ho o c o o n u s r i s d e e r w e d h ich that thetheHon. Hon. MemberGentlemanfor hat adopted. Bir mingham's character requ ired no vindication—(Hear, to the deserve tobe Hon. Mem ber excludedeUna had Tny did Igiven, 0 oi not according Nn t OF PENSIONS. Siramr h bfhreeorf) DE— those Montrowhose,LACYihi d 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 Canada, 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.

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, but in consequence of the opinions of their connexions, is a most unbecoming thing, and if it were done with respect to the generality of the votes of this House the greatest inconvenience could not fail to be the result • but I do not think, f or we h ave been long acquainted with the language used by the lion.

Mr. AGLIONBY admitted that he had fallen into an error ; he had misunderstood the Noble Lord— (Laughter)—but if the Honourable 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 wholly free from blame. Ho trusted the matter would go no further. Mr. HUME said on a former evening when be was called by a Member of the Cabinet a thief and a rec_eiv_er of stolen goods—(Cries of " Oh! oh!")—he to . 'o l K u° in a different spirit, and expressed itin different language. They had arrived at a very eventful period, and he was sorry to say that very little had been done during the present session for Ireland. They had promised much, but they had performed little ; but he hoped that another Parliament would effect much greater good. He had no doubt, a large expenditure of English capital by the Government would render Ireland an assistance in stead of a burden to England ; but at the present mo ment he saw nothing but a great deal of want and misery in that country for some time to come, a small niggardly outlay would do no good. Lord MONTEAGLE presented his thanks to the Noble Lord opposite for having brought forward the proposition which he had done, and he would support him if he was willing to go to a division. It would be utterly unbecoming if some person representing some of the classes impeached did not refute it ; it was a serious charge, and one which ought to be investigated, as it was to those very persons they characterised. The working of the new poor-law was entrusted. He was not about to go the length of saying that no instances of abuse existed, even if such a measure was introduced into this country, more enlightened as it was, abuses would arise, more or less numerous according to circumstances. In the province of Connaught there were persons acting upon relief committees who could neither read nor write, nor speak any language save Irish, and when such a description of persons officiated, was it to be wondered that abuses should occur? Yet, nevertheless, these charges would not rest upon such a class, but upon the lauded gentry. The money which was given to the country was not given in a confiding spirit, and if it had been a much smaller sum, and given in such a spirit, it would have done more to cement the union between the countries than any measure which could hereafter be effected. The Earl of RODEN then begged leave to withdraw his motion. He considered that the discussion which had arisen would effect a great deal of good. The motion was then withdrawn.

Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to know from the Noble Lord at the head of the Woods and Forests, whether it was the intention of the Government to carry the improvements in London known as New Coventry.. street on towards Covent-garden ? He understood that his Grace the Duke of Bedford, who owned property in that quarter of the metropolis, had offered the muni ficent sum of 13,0001. towards effecting these improve ments. Lord MORPETII said that he exceedingly regretted that the state of the public finances would preclude any possibility of the Government bringing in a Bill in this session of Parliament for that purpose ; they would, therefore, be unable at present to accept of his Grace the Duke of Bedford's liberality, but he trusted that in another session of Parliament some steps .be taken to accomplish this great and much ne eded would im provement. o the TUE.

He and authentically had had no commu nication with his Grace the Duke of Wellington upon the subject, and the only communication which in any w ay hinted at what the Duke's feelings might be was that which he (Lord J. Russell) received from Mr. Croker some time ago. Her Majesty had expressed a wish that nothing should be done that would be painful —(Cheers)—or that might be considered disrespectful to that great and most justly celebrated personage.— (Cheers.) It was his wish, therefore, to ascertain from some authentic source what the real opinion of the Duke of Wellington was upon this subject, 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 addre ssed by the Sub-Com• mittee to the Duke of Wellington, and his Grac's an- f swer thereto, which contain ed the very expression o * feeling which the Noble Lord at the head of the Go vernment was so anxious to ascertain.

THE EARL OF HARDW TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN . must COX rest a statement in your leading article of this day, wherein you assert, on the alleged authority of the MO al historian James, that the Earl of Hardwicke was one of two out of thirteen midshipmen missing in the saute berth, on board the Leander at Algiers, who escaped being killed or severely wounded. Now the fact is that his Lordship did not belowg to the Leander at the time of the memorable battle alluded to, but to Lord Ex mouth's flag-ship the Queen Charlotte. He commanded a gun-boat, which he gallantly placed in an exposed situation, nearly under the bows of the ' Leander, when! he did good service ; but was only removed into the Leander after her return to England, and in her he 1 yoceeded to the Halifax station. I was second lieutenant of the Leander during the battle and for about a year ?afterwards, and can therefore vouch for these facts as correct.—l am, Sir, &c., HENRY WALKER, (A) Lieut. R.N. July 9, 1847. - - NOVEL OCCUI LEENCE. -On Tuesday morning, owing to the covering of the sink hole being left off by the servant, a snake found its way into the dairy of Mr. Thomas Cooper, of Ampers Wick Farm, St. Osyth, and reached the shelf where the milk stood ; and, having emptied the pan of its contents, made its exit by the same passage through which it entered the dairy, and was ultimately killed by Mr. Cooper, with no further mischief.—,Esser /Standard.
