IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT; HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 1.1. Their Lordships met at Five o'Clock. Lord LYNDHURST presented a number of pe titions against the Irish Municipal Reform Bill, but the designations of the petitioners were not heard in the gallery. Lord STANLEY (of Alderley) presented petitions from towns and places in the county of Chester against the Weaver Churches Bill. The Noble Lord sup ported the prayer of the petition , and recommended that prayer to the consideration of the Noble and Learned Lord opposite (Lord Lyndhurst) who had said a few evenings since (in the debate upon the Irish Municipal Bill) that he would never consent to deprive any persons of property, vested in them by an Act of property. It was highly unjust to allow the Trustees of Weaver River to violate their trust, and apply the funds to the building of Churches instead of the improvement of the navigation. He hoped their Lordships would give this Bill the fullest consideration, and regard it not as a private Bill, but as one, the principle of which affected all the trust property in the kingdom. The Bishop of LONDON complained of the course taken by the Noble Lord, in making strong allega tions against the promoters of the Bill in pre senting a petition, whereas it was distinctly under stood on all sides that the discussion of the prin cipl of the Bill should be take❑ on the second read ing. He would not trouble their Lordships by going into the details of the measure o❑ this occa sion. I4ut their Lordships ought to be informed that the trustees thought it was their duty to provide not only hospitals and other means for the relief' and assist ance of the large population which their navigation brought together, but also to provide for them the means of religious worship and instructisn, The surplus profit of the trust, after all expenses, for the navigation and improvement of the river amounted to 15,0001. a-year, and out of that the trustees pro posed to expend in all only 60,0001. for so excellent a purpose. The Right Rev. Metropolitan contended that the opposition to the Bill was wholly grounded in po:itical jealousy, and the signatures to the petitions against it were obtained by artifice and misrepre sentation. Lord STANLEY, in explanation, said that it was no argument in favnur of the measure to say that the Justices of the county of Chester were favour eWe to it ; for the trustees were all Justices, and it was only the Justices on one bench approving of what they did as trustees on another. Lord BROUGHANI (who rose amidst vehement cries for t• the Order of the Day"), presented a peti t:on from the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the city of York also, against the Weaver Churches Bill. The Noble Lord also presented a petition from Mr. James Ciarkson, a solicitor in the county of York. complainbg i:at he could not obtain an interview with Mr. Feargus O'Connor, his client, who was a prisoner in York gaol. Tile Marquis of NO RMANB Y said that Mr. Craw krci, the lopector of Prisons, had informed him that he had ascertained that Mr. Clarkson did not want to see Mr. F. O'Connor up;:n professional business. He did wisli to impugn the statements of Mr. Clarkson, but there might have been some mistake on the part of Mr. TA-eeflie, the Visiting Maxis rate, as to the exact state nt made by the petitioner to him. Lord BROUGH AM said the application of Mr. 4:;!,ukson to the Visiting, Justices distinctly stated that ire wanted to see hie c!ient on professional lmsiness. The mut:ache:ion given to Mr. Clarkson's assertion, was, therefor,, manifestly untrue. THE REGENCY. sire CLEEK read htr Mak-sty's Message on subject of a Regency, at the title, and which we gave in yesterday's proceedings, NiELBOU It NE rose and said—M) Lords, I nox rise for the purpose of ea!hn 7 , the atti mien of ;f:ttr Lordships to the M,ssag,e which I h.ad the honour bri kig tU I.Le I 1..u5,! yesterday, anti v.:i'eh has just been rcad the t.;:urk a' II.: ta:,le.

It wasl,;o4 4,- - iered that the Address be presented to M a j es tii t (p f : Wednesday next. Tim LGt.49 4,7,HANCELLOR then stated that odd on Thu.: y bring in a Bill to carry into la aT et her :Majesty's most gracious Message, and he v;ou!,I take that opportunity of stating the provisions the Bill. -c %sal then given to bring in the Bill. , t of the Peers present shortly afterwards quitted " itIBBONISM IN IRELAND. Lord Zr, ARNCLIFFE, at the request of the biarculis o f N m. 'nark, postponed for the present his inocon which ;to , -1 for this evening, respecting the re cent trial and cots;iction of Jones for ribboniser, in Ireland. RLEVILLE In answer to Lore The Marquis of NORMA,NBY said, that there Was no ObjCetloll to lay before their Lordships all the information which the Government pusszssed on this subject. THE SULPHUR TRADE. Lord LYNDHURST begged to ask the Noble V , count whether he had eny objection to lay on the table the terms of the arrangement respecting the Sulphur Trade, and the correspondence connected with it. Lord MELBOURNE —I will inquire. THE SPANISH LEGION. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY asked whe ther the statements in Sir de Lacy Evans' letter, re• cently published on the subject of the payment of the cleims of the Legion, were true, and sanctioned by the Government, and whether the arrangements there stated bad actually been made ? If it was inconvereent to the Noble Viscount to give him an explicit answer, ha would ask leave to move for a return or the dispatches or what had been received on the subject. The ar rangement which was stated in the letter to hayq been made on behalf of those poor men would not secure to them more than halt of what was due to them. Lord MELBOURNE said he would consider what answer he could give, and would iitorm the Noble Mar quis on Thursday. COPYHOLD ENFRANCHISEMENT BILL. Lord BROUGHAM wished to explain on this oc casion what course he intended to pursue in reference to this Bill. He feared that it was now too late to allow of any hope that the Bill should pass this Session. He had no doubt that this useful measure would receive their Lordship's sanction early in the ensuing Session. For the present he begged leave to withdraw the Bill. Lord LYNDHURST would not object to the with i'rawal of the Bill, on condition that his Noble and Learned Friend would pledge himself to introduce it again early nest Session. After a few words from Lord RED4SDALE, the Order of the Day was discharged.' Lord LYNDHURST presented a petitiotrAnitt Mr. David Salomon, who had formerly filled the office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex, in 183.5 and 1836, and who was elected an Alderman in 1835, but being unwilling to subscribe the declaration required by the • Act, his election had been declared void. He had after wards appealed to the Court of Queen's Bench, but the decision of the Corporation had been affirmed. The petitioner prayed that conscientiou s persons of all reli g ious persuasions might Le p erm it te d to subscribe the declaration in the Act, Ist Victoria, relating to cor porate offices in lieu of the delaration under the 9th Geo. 4, c. 78. If he received any encouragement from the House, he should be inclined to move for leave to bring in a Bill to embody The prayer of the petitioner. There was a great anomaly in the present state of the law, inasmuch as a person ,might be a Sheriff of a county, because he was not obliged to subscribe the declaration for six months, anti then he would be pro tected by the indemnity Act. He understood that there were persons of the Jewisb persuasion in the Corporations of Southampton ant! Bionineham, and the souner such an anomaly in the law was done away with the better. Lord BROUGHAM recommended his Noble and Learned Friend to try.—(A laugh.) He could pro mise 'din his support, for one. Lora HOLLAND—I can assure him of mit.'e, for another. Lord LYNDHIMST feared that such assurances .of support would act rather as a discouragement. The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD then presented a petition from Mr. Roberts, a gentleman of' scientific attainments, who bad invented a peculiar antiseptic pro c,ls, by which animal substances were prevented from eeeaing. The Noble and Learned Lord entered at some length into the facts of the case, as they have itepeared on a previous occasion, in our report of the , proceedings in the House of Commons, and submitt , ei titet the petitioner was entitled to some compensation. The 'Marquis of NORMANBY regretted that ;he rot been apprised of th e N o bl e and Learned Lot d' s ihtention to present the petition ; but from all the fa tt %%hie!! bad roast to his kno•eled ge , Le did not think Ibe ; f; ty entitled to any comper.setiere petition was then iaid on the table, A:ljourned till Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JULY 14. 1 The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four o'Clock. The Erskine (Western) and Dumbarton Ferry Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. BANNERNIAN presented a petition from the Rev. Alexander Fordyce, of Belvie, in the county of Aberdeen, stating that he •was the first inventor of the percussion lock ; that great benefits had been derived from that invention, and pray ing for compensation. On the motion of the Hon. Member the petition was ordered to be printed, and the Hon. Member gave notice that on a future day he should call the attention of the House to it. The Earl of DARLINGTON presented a petition from the Guardians of the Poor-law Union of Ludlow, praying for the reduction of the number of the As sistant Poor-law Commissioners. Mr. MACKINNON presented a petition :from the sugar refiners of Glasgow, complaining of the scarcity of sugar, and praying the House to take measures to encourage the emigration of free labourers to the West India colonies. On the motion cf Mr. W. ATTWOOD, the Lon don and Greenwich Railway Bill, and the London and Greenwich Railway Station Bill, were read a third time and passed. Sir M. WOOD brought up the Report of the Me tropolis lmprovement Committee. Mr. HINDLEY presented a petition from Ashton under-Line, praying for a remission of the punishment of Mr. F. O'Connor ; also a petition from Staley Bridge, in favour of Inland Bonding Warehouses. Mr. AGLIONBY presented a petition from Mr. Clarkson, a solicitor, who stated that he was employed professionally to defend Mr. F. O'Connor on an indict ment pending at the Liverpool Assizes, and that he went to York to see Mr. O'Connor on professional business, but was refused admission by the Visiting Justices ; that he subsequently made application to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, but was refused permission to visit him ; and praying the inter ference of that House. Mr. HUME gave notice that on the 28th instant he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to extend the suffrage to all householders, to afford protection to voters against intimidation, and to shorten and fix the duratio❑ of Parliament. LINEN TRADE. Mr. LABOUCHERE gave notice that to-morrow he should move for a Committee of the whole House to consider and amend the Acts relating to the linen m 7.- ; facture in Ireland. POST-OFFICE. Mr. GOULBURN moved for returns of the gross znd net revenue of the Post-office, for certain periods in the years 1839 and !840.—Ordered. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. LABOUCHERE, a new writ was moved for the county of Louth, in room of Henry Chester, Esq., who had, since his election, ac cepted the office of steward of the Chiltern Hundreds. BRITISH MUSEUM. Mr. HUME then rose to move that an hemble address be presented to her Majesty, that she will be graciously pleased to recommend to the Trustees of the British Museum, and to the Trustees of the National Gal!ery, that those places be opened for the admission of toe public on Sundays, after divine service, at such hours as the houses of the licensed victuallers, of sellers of beer, and of gin-shops, are now legally open to the public; and observed that the higher classes, who had always a large portion of time at their disposal, could seek re creation in various places on Sundays. For in stance„ the Zoological Gardens were open the whole of the Sabbath day ; but the working classes who were doomed of necessity to incessant labour from Monday moreing till Saturday night, had no means of recreation on the Sabbath. If a rational innocent and instructive mode of passing that part of the Sabbath day not devoted to religious exercise could be adopted, it would be productive of health to tire bedy, aa - d amu etneu: and instruetiou to the min :. At the corner of evet y great street public houses were open, with flogs hoisted on the house top, as a temptation to the worry passer-by to indulee in their "poisonous liquors. He thought, judging from what had been dune in other co rutries, and looking, at the effects produced in those. countries, a whole some change might be nettle, not only so as to avoid evil, but to do good. By the 21 and 3d Victoria it was enacted that no licensed s ictualler should open his house before the hour of one in the afternoon. There v..as a return to which he wished to refer the House. He found by that return that in the year 1838 the number of licensed victuallers amounted to 4307, and the number of beersellers was 1,702, which made? a total of 6 ; 009; and he might say that all :hose houses afforded the labouring classes temptations to dissipation, which, for want of other amusements, they were unable to resist. Ile would ask them that the British Museum, which was so capable of affordieg amusement and instruction, should be thrown tepee to them during the time the public-houses were allowed to remain open. In every other country such a system prevailed as that fur which he was contending ; and why should it not be equally introduced to Lee -1 lad ? Engiislimen were considere f by foreigners as having no taste for works of art, and, in fact, being incapable of enjoying rational amusements ; but he (Mr. Hume) believed, on the contrary, that Lig lishmen were as anxious to avail themselves of oppor tunities of such amusement as any other people could be. He was then proposing a measure which he thought would be a means of enticing the English artisan from those habits into which bad legislation had heretofore led him, and which would give him an opportunity, after Divine Service on Supday, of making choice of an amusement which would ire - prove his condition. Every one would admit that drunken ness was the great vice of our population, and lie thought it the duty of Parliament to do all in their power for its suppression. He would admit that within the last Svc years the returns, showing the number of persons who had been in cus tody for drunkenness, had much diminished. Yet, notwithstanding this, it appeared that there were', more drunken persons taken into custody on a Sunday than on any other day. This was naturally to be ex pected, for, if the day should happen to be wet, they were precluded from taking a country walk, and they had no alternative but to retire to their own homer, or to go the public-house. Those who had visited the abodes of the poor, well knew how few inducements there were for them to remain at home, and it was not to be wondered at that society and a good fire should tempt them to visit the public house. Looking at the question in either a moral, a religious, or a political point of view, he submitted that the House ought to agree to his motion, as one calcu lated to be beneficial to the morals of the working el asses, to improve their religious habits, and to make them better men, and more wiling to obey the laws. During the year 1839, 65,965 persons had been arrested for drunkenness, and no man could be surprised at that, who had once entered a public-house and might be led astray. He considered this motion tended to improve the education of the poorer classes, and it proposed to substitute for an unhealthy and expensive recreation one that was healthy, and unattended with expense. He had re ceived various communications on tho subject since he had given notice of his motion, but he would read only one, a letter he had re ceived from a labouring man, and which showed the great interest the working classes took in the subject. (The Hon. Gentleman here read the letter expressing the gratitude of the writer to him for bringing forward the 'til t ion stating it would be desirable that the Tower,'Sf. Paul's, and Westminster Abbey, should also be open on a Sunday, and also that the writer had been for forty years a labourer, and had never had an opportunity of visiting those places, because he must lose a day's work for the purpose of doing so, and lose a day's wages.)—(Hear, hear, hear.) Now was it unreasonable in him to make this motion ? The Hon. Gentleman then quoted at length the lee ,: ture delivered by Sir J. Hersehell at the opening of the Windsor Mechanics' Institution, showing the absolute uecessity of providing rational amusements for the overworked people. Ha remembered the time when he was told that Englishmen were different in their na tures from other men, and that although greater facilities for amusement were given to them they would not avail themselves of them. How was that proved by the occurrences of late years? With respect to the British Museum, the number of visitors had risen from 266,000 to 383,000 ; let them throw open the doors on Sundays, and he would promise that the visitors during the next year would amount to upwards of 600,000. —(Hear, hear, hear.) The same had been the case with the National Gallery—during the last year the number of visitors was 397,000—0 pen it in the after noon of Sunday, and they would double the numbers, and empty the public-houses. Again, with respect to the Tower in 1837, when the price of admission was 25., the number of visitors was only from 10,000 to 12,000 persons ; in 1838, when the price of admission was reduced to ls., the number had increased to 42,000 ; w hil e last year, when the price of admission was lowered to 6d., the number rose to 70,000 — it was a public edifice, and if it were opened upon a Sunday afternoon the numbers would be more tha n d ou b led —(Hear, hear. ) Again, with respect to Hampton -court, since the palace there had . been thrown open to the public, the number of visitors had very greatly increased. In July and Au gust of last year the number of visitors was 57,441, l e lthough it was situated so far from town. The same reiti:;q had been shown in the throwing open of the lee:et India M useum upon Saturdays—tire n umber‘isitors last year was 35,000. For merly the Regalia of Scotland could only be seen on the payment of Is., when no inure than 4,000 or 5,000 persons passed through in one year, but during the last year it had been thrown open, and no less than 46,000 persons had availed themselves of the privilege. On her Majesty's coronation day, 25,000 persons passed through the Museum of tire Royal C o ll ege of Surgeons, Zdinborgli, without the least damage to the property, or to:eieletit to any person having occurred. He held t h a t the welts of the British Museum and the' National t ?alletT, there were means for carrying out the object he hag ww . vc , ljje s _II was to win the popula tion of the country. from those vices which, he must confess, had idea great degree been engendered by the laws that had been passed.---(Hear, hear.) If the House allowed men to enter pubic-houses, and take spirits there, he did not see why they should not allow them to amuse themselves by exa mining works of art. The Hon. Member concluded by making the motion of which he had given notice, for an address to her Majesty. A Message from the Lords here brought up the Canada Government Bill, with amendments. Mr. HAMILTON rose to second the motion of the Hon. Member for Kilkenny. He considered that aloe tion as a sort of commencement of the best Sabbath Bill ever brought into the House.—(Hear, hear.) He was persuaded that every one would admit - that the motion was one which particularly affected the middle and working classes. Sunday was the only day which those classes could devote to food for the mind, and so far from shutting the British Museum, or any other public institution on such a day, be thought it was their duty to endeavour to seduce the working classes from the beer-shop by measures: similar to that of the Honourable Member. A great desecration of the Sabbath had hitherto taken place in that country. But how could they expect anything else but dissipa tion on the Sabbath under the present system ? The Hon. Member had so fully stated his case, that he should confine himself to seconding the motion, believing that by so doing he was contributing more to the pre servation of property oa the Sabbath-day than by any other measure which could have been brought forward. 'rhe question having been put from the Chair, Sir ROBERT INGLIS said that he had hoped some Member of her Majesty's Government would have stated what were their opinions on the subject, as being official conservators of public morals it was their duty to have done so ; but as no Gentleman connected with the Government had risen to address the House, he would state in a few words the grounds of his opposition to the motion. The Honourable Member for Kilkenr y seemed to be labouring under an extraordinary self delusion when he represented that the object of his motion had a tendency to promote morals and religion—( Hear, hear, from Mr. Hume, and cheers from the Ministerial benches)—and he seemed to regret that he had not included Good Friday and Christmas Day in his motion.—( Hear, hear.) He believed the tendency of the motion would be to shock what the Hon. Member might call the prejudices, but what he must call conscientious scruples of the great body of the people respecting the sanctity of the Sabbath. If there were no other objection, that alone would, in his opinion, be sufficient. He would like to know in what part of the divine law the Hon. Member found that it was permitted to divide the Sab bath into two parts, end to keep one part holy and to desecrate the other. The Honourable Member for Kilkenny seemed to forget that there were other parties who, if his motion were carried, would be compelled to work seven days of the week, or 365 days during the year. That the officers of all those institutions would be compelled to labour additionally without any provision being made for it, and that solely to minister to the rleasuras of the people. The great question at issue was whether Glut House would by an address solemnly call upon her Majesty to ssnct:on for the first time—yes for the first time— by the authority of the Crown what he would call a systematic desecration of the Sabbath. The Ho nourable Member had said that the English alone were held up to the opprobrium of the whole world for narrow-mindedness and bigotry. What the Hon. Member meant by that sentence, he (Sir R. Inglis) did not clearly understand. If he intended to say that there was no other State wherein the Sabbath was observed as well as in England, in the State nearest to us, in Holland, the Sabbath was observed ae well as it was in this country. He denied that it was a question all to be settled upon the principles of the Rule of Three. The returns clearly proved tint teey did not increase the number of visiters oy giving greater facilities to the public. The ques tion was, not whether inure persons would visit those establ.shments if throe) open upon the Sundays, but whe ther a system should be aemmenced, for the first time, by which the Lord's Day should be treated as a common one —by w hich, as far as time amusements of the people are concerned, there should be no difference between the Sendly and the Monday. The proposition, even as it s'ood at present, violated the sanctity of the Sabbath, and although the motion of the lien. Member was cot:- fined to opening the public establi,liments after divine service, next year they would be thrown open altogether. He trusted that the better sense and better prireiple of the House would lead them to join with him in meeting the motion w:rh a direct negative. Mr. WARBURTON thought it would be quite , enough to meet the argument of the Right Hon. Baronet by saying that the motion of his Hon. Friend did not at all allude to the seventh day of the week nor to any day set apart upon divine authority ; that it was a day set apart upon human authority for the exercise of religious worship. That was not the description of argument he would address himself to, because such an observance of the Sabbath, as the argument of hirHon. Friend would lead to, had never been practised in this country. His Hon. Friend, the Member for Kilkenny, had alluded to some of the .relaxations the wealthier classes indulged themselves in on that day ; and very few of the gentlemen he had the honour of addressing scrupled to avail themselves of the opportunity of viewing those private galleries and paintings that were opened to them by their friends on that day. (Hear, hear, hear.) The other day a propositicn was made by a small minority of the members of the Zoological Gardens to pass a self-denying ordinance to the admission of mem bers on Sundays ; Lut at one of the largest meetings that ever took place of that Society, only seventeen hands were held up in favour of the p - oposition, t‘hile bctiifeen 200 and 300 were held up against it.— (Hear, hear.) He could not understand upon what principle they allowed these enjoyments to the wealthier classes, while the poorer classes were denied them. He would not appeal to the present day, but would allude to the practice in the reign of the most relig i ous King that had sat on the throne for many years— George the 'Third. What was the observance of the Sabbath during that reign Was not the Terrace of Windsor Castle the general resort of all those who chose to visit it on that day? Did not bands of music play there, and did not his Majesty and his family walk there along with his subjects? Well, such being the case, he would ask which was most calcu lated to engender religious feelings—walking on the ter race at Windsor, or visiting the British Museum, where the wonders of nature were exhibited ? Could any one doubt the latter ? He believed that the mode of ob serving the Sunday pointed out by his Hon. Friend was calculated to repress vice and raise religious feelings in the minds of the people. He should therefore most cheerfully support the motion of his Hon. Friend, and he agreed with the Hon. Gentleman opposite that Lille was the best Bill for the observance of the Sabbath he had ever seen. Mr. GOULBURN was decidedly opposed to the motion of the Hon. Member for Kilkenny, and so far from considering the proposed measure as the best means for ensuring a better observance of the Sabbath, he was persuaded that if not in its immediate, at least in its distant results it would lead to its utter desecration, and be the commencement of a revolution on the subject. He maintained, therefore, that the proposed step would be a most dangerous one in the progress of their legis lation. If they sanctioned any species of amusement on the Sabbath, other and worse innovat'ona would follow. It was true that desecrations of the Sabbath at present took place, but that could be no argument in favour of the motion, as the existence of one evil could not justify the introduction of another. Hu admitted the extent to which drunkenness now prevailed in this country on the Sabbath day, and he could not but regret it ; but he did not think that the motion of the Hon. Gentleman would tend to its diminution. On the contrary, the facts stated by the Hon Member would militate against himself. For the last twenty years, places of public amusement had been more accessible to the public than formerly, and yet, drunkenness had continued, as there turns showed, constantly to increase. The British Museum and the National Gallery had been of late years visited by thousands without producing any change in the morals of the people. They could not for the sake of affording amusement to the public, violate a public duty and open these places on an unlawful day. The Hon. Gentleman had quoted Sir John Herschell, but Sir John Herschell did not tell you to violate the Sabbath by opening places of amusement ; but he argued that in the common commerce of life, amusement should be blended with business, and in that sentiment he (Mr. Goulburn) entirely concurred ; but he believed that by recognising Sunday as a day of amusement, so far from improving the morals of the people, they would deteri orate from them. The Hon. Gentleman had argued as if there were an analogy between the permitting public houses to be open, and the opening the British Museum, and had contrasted the license per mitted to the former with the restrictions of the latter; if there really existed this analogy, the Hon. Gentle man ought to move for the closing public houses on the Sabbath, and not for the opening the British Mu seum.—(Hear, hear, from Mr. Hume, and laughter.) But the Legislature had acted on the principle that meat and drink being necessaries of life, must be pro cured on a Sunday as well us on any other day, and if the permission to procure them were abused, it was owing to that imperfection which necessarily attended all human legislation. But with regard to amusement, the case was different ; they had no right to hold out that a musements were lawful on the Sabbath day, and he should oppose this motion as the first step in a career which, if followed, would be fatal to the morals and the religion of the people. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said it was difficult in matters sati s a fa f e t t b o a r y. T he Hon. sienbe at sort to comet o acon)clur for Brd sionthat i wo p u o l r d be t went on to state that they allowed persons to walk in the Parks and the Zoological Gardene, 4c. Noly that was scarcely a fair ar .urnent, and if they nosy opened the Museum and the National G d lerv, it next v, , ar !night be urged that as they allowed persons to go on the Sundays to the British Museum and the National Gallery, why should you preclude them from seeing.. a .National Drama ?—( Hear, hear.) The argument might_be used for anything that was not in itself vicious. On the other hand, he would not defend the consistency of the present practice of shutting up every species of rational amusements.—(Cheers.) But when the House of Commons was called upon to agree to a resolution, and then to ask for the concurrence of the Crown, it was not proper that the object might of itself have an im proper tendency. Now the tendency of the motion of the Hon. Member was to throw open extra places of public amusement upon the Sunday. He objected to that being done by the sanction of a vote of that House and the sanction of the Crown. The motives of the Hon. Member for Kilkenny were exceedingly good—all would agree with him in his desire to raise the tastes of the people, and elevate their intelligence by giving them more legitimate pursuits —every one must agree with him in that object ; and he was happy to say that there was not only a general concurrence in the House, but also throughout every large town in the kingdom. If the Hon. Member said that it was necessary that his object should be carried out on the Sunday, then many who were in favour of his motives would object to the proposed plan. The motion was rather curiously worded, but its tendency was to start the British Museum and the National Gallery against the licensed victuallers and the gin shops.—(Hear, and laughter.) Now he was not quite sure, if a great number of people visited the British Museum on a Sunday, that the licensed victuallers and the gin shops would not find some advantage in placing their establishments near the doors of the Museum.—(Hear, bear.) It was very much the custom in this country for people, after seeing a sight to go to a place of entertainment to refresh themselves, and therefore, instead of starting the exhibitions against the licensed victuallers, the licensed victuallers might find they had a great many Mr. AGLIONBY supported the m ot i on . Hear.) additional customers on the Sunday..—( Mr. MU NTZ said that if the Noble Lord objected to open the British Museum he ought to shut the Zoo logical Gardens, for there was no more sin in looking at the skin of the animal than there was in looking, at the animal itself.—(Great laughter.) The ques tion appeared to him to be whether those who now attended .public worship would be drawn from that public worship by the opening of the Museum. From his experience of the working classes, he could state that those who now attended public worship would con tinue to do so, and that those who did not would not keep away from worse places, and go to the Museum and the National Gallery .—( Hear, hear.) The House then divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it B2 ;Majority against the motion —3B CANADA GOVERNMENT BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated, that at the com mencement of public business to-morrow he should move the house do agree to the amendments made by the Lords upon the Canada Government Bill. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE BILL. Sir E. SUGDEN inqured whether the Noble Lord intended to press the Administration of Justice Bill that Session in the absence of many Hon. and Learned Members who were attending the Circuit ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied that if the Bill came down from the other House this Session, he hoped to be able to pass it before the prorogation of Parlia reent.—(Cheers.) Mr. GI LLON postponed the motion of which he had given notice, for an address to her Maj2sty, pray ing that her Mjesty would be graciously pleased to appoint a _Commissi on f or th e p ur pos e o f v i s i t i ng every parish in Scotland, with directiocs to inquire into and report as to the means of education enjoyed within the same, including parochial and all other schools, and how far these means were available for the proper edu cation of the juvenile population of each parish ; the number of youths of both sexes receiving, and the nun:- bar destitute of public instruction ; with remarks on the quality and amount of the instruction conveyed— till next Session. The HON. MEMBER was about to call the attention of the House to his second notice, when The SPEAKER interrupted him by stating that it was informal, inasmuch as it was necessary that it should originate in a Committ.:e of the whole House. Mr. GILLON then bezgtd leave to withdraw it, giving notice that be should that day week move that the House resolv e itself into a Committee on the subj,ct, Mr. MACKINNON rose to move the appointment of a Select Committee to investigate if it was in accord ance with humanity and justice, and good policy, 'to , sanction by legislative enactments the emigration of Indian labourers, not only to the .Mauritius and British Guiana, but to every part of the British possessions In bringing forward this motion, he had not tne least intention of annoying her Majesty's Government. All he was anxious for was justice to all parties. He thought that the importance of the suhject entitled it to the consideration of the House, and he could net ap prove of the mat:r.er in which the Colonial Office had treated the subject by introducing it in a clause of the Colonial Passengers Bill. He thought that the course pursued by the Government of limiting the operation of the Bill to the Mauritius was extremely objectionable ; added to which he considered that they had entered on the subject without sufficient intorma ' tion. It was not his intention in the present state of the House to enter into the details of the measure. His only object was to obtain justice, and he had no in terest whatever in view. Whether the Government granted the Committee or not was immaterial to him, but he trusted if they objected to it at the present mo ment, that they would give full attention to so important a subject. The Hon. Member concluded by moving the appointment of a Select Committee. Mr. DALLY KNIGHT seconded the motion. Mr. VERNON SMITH regretted the Hon. Mem ber should have brought forward so important a question at so !ate a perion of the Session, and in so thin a House. The Hon. Member had not at all entered into detail of the scope of the inquiry which he proposed. He had not stated whether he meant the labours of the Committee to he confined to any particular colony, or to the colonies in general, and in this state of things he (Mr. V. Smith), without pledging hi.nself one way or the other as to the course the Government would adopt in future, must call upon the House to reject the mo tion. At the same time, he could assure the Hon. Member that the Colonial -office had devoted its atten tion to the subject, and would d o so st i ll. Viscount SANDON did not conceive that the ap pointment of a Committee at this season of the year would be attended with any beneficial result. He hoped that in the interval between this Session and the next the attention of the Government would be di rected to the condition of the emancipated ne groes in the Brazils and the Havannah. He also hoped that next Session the House would be put in possession of information with regard to the means that might be employed to induce negroes to become emigrants to our colonial possessions, so that emigration might be carried on not only with safety to the negroes themselves, but with advantage to all parties concerned. Mr. C. BULLER said the anxiety which Hon. Gentlemen opposite now manifested relative to free labour was a tardy reparation for the injury they did the subject early in the Session. He believed the Hon. Member for Leamington (Mr. Mackinnon) voted against the introduction of Hill Coolies into the Mauritius. b T e h e e n r t e o su b l r t ing o all he foreign g t ns i l r a labours ve gr ow n for ugar into emancipation the Mr. WA aßuitToN was glad that the proposition of emigration to the Mauritius had been defeated, and contended that if the experiment of emigration of Hill Coolies was even to succeed, it must be an emigration to colonies where they could trust their public foo c _ tionaries, and where they knew the measures which the Legislature had enacted would be carried into effect. The Government ought, before proposing any plan to the House for the emigration of Hill Coolies, to con sider well what the consequences of it would be, and in what way it was likely to operate. Mr. ELLIOT next proceeded to address the House, when An HoN. MEMBER moved that the House be counted, and there not being forty Nlembers present, the House was counted out at Half-pnst Seven o'Clock.

Th e vessel went to P i c "' very short l y after she struck ; hot, ow i ng to the p ro mpt assistan ce of the officer and men on this s t at i on, the crew, - four in num ber, were saved, with the excepti on o f a poor little b oy , w ho was left in the cabin for security. Th e i mmediate b rea king up of the vessel, the darkness of th e n i g h t, and the anx i et y to avail themselves of the as4istan ee ren d ered them by the rocket apparatus (whether Manby's or Dennett's, we cannot sa y ) caused them to fe-get the paor l a d unt il it ssas too late. Too much cannot be said in praise of these life-preservers, and the care and pre cision wiih which the instructions are attended to by the pm-- sorts liatwi,7 Atent in Oartre. The first shot, we understand, na nt throu k lb the rigging,* and at ti;is rcoment all are - dreadful points in shipwreck wer e present ; the night fearfully dark, and a sea raging, against which n o boat c ould have advaneed ; but for these most excellent ap..istann:, four valuable lives would hava been lost.—Sussex Rrpress PRICES OF CANAL,DOCK,ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARES &c. &c. &t.

The continued occupation of Cracow by the three Aiiied Powers was last night the subject of an interest ing discussion in the House of Commons. Sir Stratford Canning, in bringing the subject before the House, en tered into a historical detail of the events which imme diately preceded the occupation, and the violation of the Treaty of Vienna which that occupation in volved. By several articles in the Treaty of Vienna, the town of Cracow was declared to be " a free, indepen dent, and strictly neutral town," by the eight Powers which assented and subscribed to that treaty ; whilst by that same treaty it was placed under the more im mediate protection of Austria, Prussia, and Russia. The specific motives which induced this last stipula tion it is difficult to discover. It was like placing the sheepfold under the protection of the wolf, with the hope that a parchment stipulation would counteract the force of nature, and prevail to preserve tile tempting morsel from those whose contiguity placed it continually before their eyes, and within their grasp. A limit was thus placed to the independence of that little State ; and although we acquit the contracting parties to that treaty from designing the result which ensued from the stipulation, we cannot assign to them the possession of that wisdom of which foresight forms a part. (From the Standard.) It would appear from the acknowledgment of the Chief Justice by whom Mr. O'Connor was tried, and the Attorney-General by whom he was prosecuted, that neither had any idea of the degree of punish ment to which the - sentence pronounced upon him had consigned him. The sentence upon political libellers has heretofore been fine or imprisonment, or both ; but Mr. Fox Maule attempts to justify the mode in which political prisoners die now treated by a Whig Government, by reminding his hearers that sentences on offenders of this class are not now, as they formerly were, visited with the two-fold punish ment of fine end imprisonment ! Wo are, however, at a. loss to understand how this arrangement can have bene fited Mr. O'Connor. Any man taken from the edu cated classes of society, would rather forfeit his earnings, fora dozen years to come, than subject himself to indig nities so gross, to persecution so savage, as that which has been inflicted on him. We are anxious not to be misun derstood. We have no fault to find with the sentence passed upon Mr. O'Connor ; we fear it must be ad mitted that he fully exposed himself to the penalty which the Court of Queen's Bench supposed it had inflicted upon him. Had it however been made known to the Judges that the words " safe custody" comprised a punishment ten times as great in one part of the country as another, and that what was " safe custody" in the prisons of the Queen's Bench or tile Fleet, was slow murder in that of Chester, they would, doubtless, have regulated his sentence accordingly. (From the Courier.) Colonel Sibthorp performed an acceptable piece of service to the public in bringing before the House a series of the grossest jobs ever perpetrated by any Govern ment in favour of any political partisan ; we mean the grants of public moneys to a person of some notoriety of the name of Dr. Bowring. It appears that during a period of nine years this individual has con trived to pocket, with the connivance of the Trea sury, the sum in the whole of 14,8581. 12s. 3d. for "services stated to have been performed by him." In the course of the discussion which ensued upon the nature of those services some curious disclosures were made, and particularly by Mr. D'lsraeli, who displayed an acquaintance with his subject and his man far sur passing that of any other speaker. It does so happen fortunately that the " services" of this salaried schemer are to be found consigned in certain blue books, nearly all of which have been laid periodically on the table of the Common's House, and therefore are open to the judgment of tile public. Let us examine, therefore, the ❑ature of the " value received" for the handsome allowance of three guineas per diem, and two shillings mileage hr t:velling, besides separate payment, for the reports when made. In the first place, to begin like Mr. D'lsraeli, with hia last record of " service"— the Doctor's foray into the German custom's league. Of that Report no less than seventy-five pages con sist of compilations from the works of German statists, which, as the Honourable Gentleman observed, were " in the libraries of most Members, and probably in that of Dr. Bowring" himself before he: st out on his travels. So far, therefore, this work and this expe dition for any useful results might have been performed in his study with as much utility as in Germany. More over, it will not be contended that the papers supplied by Mr. Irving and the Custom-house here, which form another considerable addition to the bulk of the Report, had necessarily to be improved by transport to Germany among the doctor's luggage, or constituted any item of charge either upon his brains or his banker. .o:000 LIST of SCOT TIS LY 8 O ,1840 H CMPANIES' PRICES, JU.

(From the London New Price Current of July 14.) SUGAR.-Since our last report there has been less acti vity in the West India Sugar market, and the demand has been limited, both from grcccrs and refiners : the private sales have not exceeded 800 hhds and tierces, but the mer chants have displayed firmness, and former rates have been maintained, excepting at a public sale of 100 hogs heads Barbadoes, which went at a reduction on the prices of this day week of 6d per cwt, good to fine yellow slid at 85s to 86s 6d, good middling 84s to 84a 6d per cwt. The deliveries continue large, exceeding those of fast year notwithstanding the late extraordinary advance. The arrivals have been larger during the past week than for several previous ones ; still the stock shows a great clfi ciency as compared with that of last ear. To-day the West India market was ,quiet, the demand from both grocers and refiners was very limited for all qualities, and the private purchases did not exceed 230 hhds and trs, the merchants however generally refused to sell excepting at the rates previously established ; in some cases however a reduction of 6d per cwt. was submitted to. At public sale 59 hhds 25 tres Barbadoes were offered, which sold heavily, and former rates were barely sup ported, fine yellow fetched 85s to 85s 6d, good 83s 61 to 84s, middling 82s to 82s 6d, low middling 81s to 81s 6d pPr cwt. REFINED.-To-day only a limited demand existed for Refined Goods ; but prices were steady, and Standard Lumps were not to be had under 109 s per cwt. Treacle, Pieccs, and Bastards sold slowly, but prices were main tained. Bonded Crushed was in good request, and 353 paid to wait a few weeks. MAURITIUS. —Fine brown fetched 80s to 81s, good 783 6d to 795, ordinary 775, low middling and middling yellow 81s 6d to 83s, good 84s 6d to 85s 6d. This after.. noon there was no public sale, and none is declared; by private contract there was little passing, but prices were supported. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the home trade purchased sparingly of Bengal, and 99F bags at public sale sold rather cheaper, fine white went at 86s 6d to 87s 6d, good 85s Gd to 86s, middling 84s 6d to 85s, damps 843 to 86s 6d, washed 84s 6d to 85s. Manilla, Java, and Siam, was less in request by private contract, but prices were supported ; there was no public sale. FOREIGN.—YeIIow Havannah Sugar has been in good request, and prices have further improved 6d a Is per cwt. In white merchants will not sell excepting at former rates: Government has refused to admit the parcel lately entered at the Customs, on the plea that it is in a refined state. In Brazil the advanced rates previously established have been fully supported ; strong white Bahia at 275. A floating cargo has been disposed of to be delivered here at 213 6d for brown, and 25s 6d for white quality. COFFEE. --British Plantation of clean quality has been in good request for home consumption since our last report, the stocks held by the trade being reduced to a law ebb, have compelled them to come forward more freely ; fine fine ordinary and middling descriptions, which have been the most in demand, have brought an advance on former rates of 3s to 4s—other sorts have fetched prices 2s above those of this day week ; with the exception of unclean kinds, which have undergone no variation in value. This afternoon there was no public sale of any descrip tion ; but by private contract a fair demand existed for all clear sorts to supply the wants of the home trade, and prices are again rather higher; sales in Java made at 63s for ordi nary, and 65s for good ; for Ceylon of good ord quality 82; was paid. The following auctions are declared, viz, 50 casks Jamaica and 3,300 bags Ceylon for to-morrow ; 100 casks British Plantation for Thursday ; and 133 casks B. P., 503 bags 160 bales Mocha and 370 bags Ceylon for Fs iday. TEA.—The market for Free Trade was quiet last week, and prices had a downward tendency ; the purchases were for cash only; Congou and Twankay in small parcels were disposed of rather under former rates, for the former of common quality ls soid was accepted, and Is 101c1 to Is lld for the latter. The operations in Company's Congou were on a small scale at is 100 a Is 101 d cash. The stock of Tea at this port on the Ist instant was, of black 3,131,55911)s less than at the same time in 1839, but of green it was 193,2321bs more than at that period. The deliveries in the United Kingdom have not been equal to those of last year by nearly 4,000,0001b5. The names arings 6,800 chests, &c. The deliveries of Tea at this port have been 444,0001bs during the past week. To-day the trade purchased with increased freedom at the public sales, and for black there was an active demand throughout the day, prices further improved, and at the close of the sale were ld to lid above those of yesterday. Green was in good request, and prices advanced in some cases }d per lb, and towards the finish of the sales the desire shown on the part of the trade to purchase Tea was great ; and of the 21,000 packages offered, the large proportion of 18,000 packages were actually sold, several breaks were taken on speculation, rr:ces left off as follows : —Tyson, ordinary to good, 2s 4a to 3s 31, Congou Com mon Is lld to 23 Id, middling to fine 2s 2d to 2s 8:I, Twankay is I Id to 2s 6d, Caper Is 91 to 2s 4ial, Young 11) son 3s lid to 3a Bd, Bohea is 91 to is Sid, Gun powder 25 10d to 4s 6 c l . —Company's Congou was i 2 demand at Is 1 lid to 2; cash.

The longevity of trees is a subject of i n t ere st, to the knowledge of which a value must be justly at tached, when it is known that some trees were contem porary with the oldest generations of mankind. They have, in certain cases ; thrown light on the history of monuments ; as the monuments in return have reflected the same light of knowledge on those ancient trees that grew near them. The specimens of these patriarchs of the vegetable world are numerous, and if their im mense age be only ascertained with precision, there will even be found in these facts some means of fixirg an approximative date to the last revolutions of the globe. The Cedars.—Those on Lehman, measured in 1660 , by Maundrel and Pocock, were supposed to be aces about 609 years old, and about 800 years old in 1787, when again seen by M. Labellordiere. The Lime is an European tree which, in a given time, appears able to acquire the largest diameter. That of the Chateau of Chadic near Melles, in the department of the Deux-Sevres, was in 1804 about 538 years old ; that of 'lrons in the Grisons in 1798 newt have been about 583 years old ; that of I)epeham, near Norwich, and of Henstadt in \Vurtemburg were also., very aged, the last needing p ro p s . Th e l arge and sma ll leaved Limes must be distinguished between, as the for. tiler grow faster than the latter. The Cypresses, among the trees in the south of 'Eu rope, live to the most advanced age. Hunter says that, in 1776, there existed in the garden of the Palace of Grenada, cypresses that were celebrated even in the time of the Moorish Kings, and which were named Cu. pressos tie la Regna Sultana—from a Sultaness who was seen under it with the Abencerrages. The largest nor' known is near the Lago Maggiore. The immense press of Chapultepec, which, it is said, has attained i 17 feet 10 inches round, is probably the most ancier,t ve getable production of the globe. The Sweet Chesnuts appear to gr, i ve to a great age. Pa3derte says, he saw one in the connty of Gloucester, which was seprosed to be near 900 years old. (This is the Tz,tworth Chesnut at Lord Ducle's.) Bose mention one near Lancerre, 30 feet round, and which has, for 600 years, borne the title of the " Great Chesnut.", The Orange and Lerner. are among the Europeans• trees of the slowest growth and the greatest age. It is. stated that the orange tree in the Convent of Sar'ra Sabina at Rome, was planted by St. Domenico in 11 . 00, and that of Fondi by St. Thomas d'Aquinas, in The Olive is a tree that can live to an asto nishing age, in any country, where it i s not liable to be pruned. M. de Chateaubriand says, in his " Itinerary," that the eight olive trees in the garden of that name in Jerusalem, only pay each a medin to the Grand Seignior, which proves that they existed at the period of the invasion of the Turks ; for those planted since that time pay a tax of half their produce. The largest olive tree mentioned in Italy LT Pecconi is at Pescio ; this tree, according to Mosch et tini, must be 700 years old. The Yew appears, of all European trees, to attain the greatest age. Of these venerable trees there a re several in England, whose ages have been ascertains d hose of the ancient Abbey of Fountainsi, near Ripon, in Yorkshire, were, in 1770, more than. twelve centuries old. Those of the churchyard of Crowhust in Se.rrey. if they still exist, must be fourteen centuries and a half old. Those of Fotheringay, in Scotland, meet be reckoned at from twenty-five to twenty-six centuries—Ferri/gale. It is possible that these are the (.10.est specimens of European vegetation. Century after century they have continued to draw up from the earth their mighty nourishment ; on their green tzmlarageous heads the rains and dews of thousand years have fallen, and they now stand, at the present day, as monuments of wonder to the generations of men —.Mirror. ----- PATENT LEVER GOLD WATCHES- Lady's size, with strong engine-turned double-backed gold cases, elegant gold dials, Fourteen Guineas each.
