On the order of the day being read for going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. V. SMITH urged the Government to withdraw the Bill, as no practical good could come from proceed ing with it at this late period of the session. Mr. WALPOLE was surprised that tha Hon. Member should have offered any opposition to the Bill. The Bill was so framed as to do away with the objections which were anticipated trom Hon. Members. Mr. NE VVDEG ATE said that the Committee was a truly impartial on., and the clauses in the Bill had been agreed to unanimously. Mr. HEATHCOTE thought that the House were losing time in discussing a 13.11 which, at that late pe riod of the session, could not be carried out, and which would not be entertained by the Parliament which would su:ceed them. Mr. CHARLES BULLER said that it was impossible that such a discussion could be brought to a successful determination in the present session. It was impossible that they could get through the clauses this session, and it would be better to leave this unprofitable debate at once than waste two or three hours more in doinc , that which could have no beneficial result, especially when a dissolution of Parliament was so near at hand. Mr. S. WORTLEY said that it certainly was not in his opinion desirable tnat the Bill should be forwarded in the present session—for, even supposing that they could bring it to a conclusion, it would be productive of no beneficial effect. After a few words from Sir G. GRET and Mr. HEN LEY, which did not reach the gallery, Mr. WALPOLE said that nothing was further from his intention than to press this Bill against the desire of the House, but he thought it but fair that if this Bill were withdrawn that tne other Bills upon the same sub ject should be also withdrawn. Sir G. GREY said, that with regard to the Parliamen tary Elections No. 2 Bill, which was upon the paper for a second reading, that Bill should be postponed until to-morrow. There was some doubt as to whether it would be advisable to proceed with that Bill during the present session. Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE said that it was not quite fair to avoid the discussion upon this subject after the repeated promises which had been made since the beginning of the session to take the matter into the consideration of the House. He thought that the termination of these Bills with regard to the Parliamentary elections was most unsatisfactory, and reflected very little credit upon the House. After a few words from Mr. B. ESCOTT and Mr. CHRISTOPHER, Dir. WALPOLE suggested that the Committee upon this Bill be deferred until to-morrow, when the Noble Lord at the head of the Government would declare what his intentions were with regard to the other Bill.—(No.) The CHANCELLOR or the EXCHEQUER said that it was perfectly competent to the Hon. Gentleman V o postpone his motion until to-morrow, for it was per perfectly impossible that it could come on.—(Laughter.) kie thought that the course suggested was a very fair one, and the Hon. Member could in the meantime decide what course he should pursue with regard to it. Mr. NE WDEGATE said, that after the principle of this Bill had been admitted by the house, it was not quite fair to the mover of the Bill to shrink from its discussion in the present session. He (Mr. Newdegate) thought that the Bill was one which ought to be passed as speedily us possible. lie should in every way he could throw oh etacles in the way of other measures which were taken in the place in which this Bill ought to be. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that this postponement was not the act of the Govern ment. Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE moved the second reading of the Bilt.—(Cries of " Divide.") Sir G. GREY said that if this motion were persisted in he should he compelled to oppose it. Mr. T. S. DU.NCOABE said that the_ Bill was then in the hands of the House, and if the Government wished, they could, doubtless, postpone it till to-morrow. After some turther conversation, Sir JA MES GRAHAM proposed that the order of the day for the second reading ot the Bill should be postponed. ' -Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said he had already, in the ab aenee of his Hun. and Gallant F riend, the Member for Westminster, assented to such a proposal. (Here Sir de LIU Evans entered the Flou,c.) Now, however , that his Hun. and Gallant Friend had come in he trusted the second rending of the Bill would not be postponed, but that his Ili once to take the and G aise of a t l h la e nt House upon the question.

Dor chester would withdraw his the 31-ember for the second reading. adjourning Sir JAMES GRAHAM said his only et‘ „„ t • making that proposal was the absence of - r - 14 -- „"; ' ° , 4 r Gallant Gentleman who had charge of t th be d ific i : an an sa now that the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman h e a he had no objection whatever to withdraw his in ' tion.—(llear, hear.) --- prop e d.. Sir DE 'LACY EVANS, in rising to move the second reading ot the Bill, took occasion to thank his Honourable Friend the Member for Finsbury for h a ving taken care of his interest in his absence. He was in the House just before the discussion came on, and he had merely gone out to have a conversation with , s me of his constituents.—(Hear, and laughter.) It was a rare °occurrence to see so large a House en a Wed ne-day's sitting, and on that account he felt he had no right to adjourn the second reading of this Bill. He should, therefore, p-rsevere in his motion for the second reading of the Bill at once.—(Hear, hear.) The object of the Bill was a simple one. It was to alter the date at which it became necessary for rates to be paid by voters, that is to say, the rates Fiyable on the 20th of July would be those due in the preceding month of October, instead of the preceding 4 h of April. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading 67 Against it Majority against it POOR REMOVAL AMEN talk:NT BILL. Mr. BODKIN moved the second reading of this F; .., The Poor Removal Bill passed last year provided that no person who had resided in a p aris h aye years ~.17 . 01tWiEllt to be removed. He did not object to fill il•-• If j • ' s a provision, but in times of distress it C• f iz t e 0 v. yro,pon the parishes, and was excessively :: ,- - v i r v i t, kola p Jur, whom it was meart to serve.

THE to relief through ;having resided in a parish five years should be thrown upon the common fund of the union, instead of upon the individual parishes. He was willing to make the measure temporary. Mr. CHRISTOPHER objected to the Bill on the ground of its centralizing character. Atter a few words from Sir William Jolliff, who opposed the Bill, Mr. SPOONER did not intend to object to the second reacing of the Bill, but he thought it quite true that a very great burden was laid on the towns, and that mea sures should be taken for the purpose of relieving them. He thought it fair that those towns which were unions in themselves should have the same privileges as those which formed only a part of unions. Sir GEORGE GREY said, that as the principle of the Bill had been already so fully discussed he hid not think it necessary to take up the time of the House by further diNcussiug it. He would not oppose the second reading, as he believed it would remove many of the evils of the Bill of last session. After a few words from Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, Mr. FLOYER was opposed to the Bill. He believed it would be found quite inoperative. Mr. HENLEY supported the Bill. The evils which at present existed in the law required a remedy, and believing that the Bill would have the effect of removing them he would support the second reading. Mr. WAKLEY thought the Bill was necessary, but from all he saw and heard they must come eventually to a national rate for the support of the poor, and until that was the case the poor would never be treated as they ought. Mr. BANKS was in favour of the repeal of the Act of last session, and he was very happy to hear the Hon. Member for Finsbury admitting that there were evils in that measure. There were many attempts to amend that Act ; and as the present measure proposed to remedy some of the evils in it, he would not oppose it ; but he thought it did not go far enough, and be hoped it would be materially improved when it went into Com mittee. Mr. P. BORTHWICK was opposed to the Bill, but would not move an amendment. The Bill was was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. SO' JUVENILE OFFENDERS BILL. --- The Lords' amendments on this Bill were considered and agreed to. COMPENSATION FOR DAMAGES (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was postponed tilt to-morrow. NATURALIZATION OF ALIENS BILL. This Bill was read a second time. STOCK-IN-TRADE EXCEPTIONS BILL. The report upon this Bill was brought up and agreed to. Several other Bills were postponed till to morrow, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Six o'clock. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, JULY 6.—There has been a fair de • mand for goods to-day, and a tolerably large business would have been done, if manufacturers would have accepted the prices current last week. Many, however, demanded a further advance, which the buyers were unwilling to give ; and the transactions were, consequently, on a more limited scale than they would otherwise have been, and generally at last week's prices. The yarn market was not quite so active ; the spinners generally holding out fur prices which the buyers are unwilling to give, and very little business has been done. We learn that, at a meeting of the spinners and ma nufacturers of Ashton-under-Lyne, held on Monday last, a resolution was adopted (unanimously, we be lieve, with the exception of one firm) to the effect that it was desirable, at once, to reduce the full time of working to ten hours per day, provided the same course was generally resorted to by the trade in other lo calities. We understand that a general meeting is to be held in this town on Tuesday next, to take the sub ject into consideration. Of course this diminution of time will involve a corresponding reduction of wages, or at least an offer of reduced wages on the part of the employers. Whether the offer will be acceeded to by the workpeople, is, at present, exceedingly doubtful. ROCHDALE, JULY s.—There has been fully as good a demand for goods to-day as last Monday, but no im provement in prices. Wool has been rather more in quired for, and upon the whole more business done; but prices remain much the same. HUDDERSFIELD, JULY 6.—We have not had a better market for many months than the one held to-day. , Every variety of winter goods have met with ready sale. There has also been a considerable business done in wool. LEEDS, JULY 6.—Our market continues t) improve, There bits been a fair business doing to-day and last Sa turday.—Manchester Guardian. RECENT DEATH OF A YOUTH SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1847. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 6. The House met for public business at Five o'clock. The Earl cf SHAFTESBURY took his seat on the Woolsack in the absence of the Lord Chancellor. Lord BROUGHAM presented petitions from Car lisle in favour of the Medical Registration Bill. The Noble and Learned Lord also presented several petitions from Worcester and other places in favour of the Health of Towns Bill, and in favour of the Bill for a Registration of Births, Deaths, and Marriages in Scot land ; he presented petitions from Dundee, praying fur the alteration of the laws of real property. BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION. Lord BROUGHAM laid on the table the resolutions that he intended to move on Monday next, with respect to the prevention of bribery and corruption at elections. HOLYHEAD HARBOUR BILL. Earl PO WIS presented petitions against the Holy head Harbour Bill. The Earl of AUCKLAND gave notice that, upon the second reading of this Bill, ho should move that it be referred to a Select Committee. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. July 6. HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) After a few words from Lord MORPETH, Mr. JOHN STE WART said, that great doubts had been expressed by the judges as to the proper construc tion of the Clauses Consolidation Bill, and the principle which prevailed in that Bill, namely, the incorporation of the principle of general trwasures into particular Acts, was the same in this Bill. He thought, therefore, that it should not be hurried through the House, but that they should give the matter that due deliberation which the importance of the subject demanded. Mr. HENLEY said that the Clauses Consolidation Bill had been hurried through an inattentive House, and this Bill was to be carried through in a similar hurry. They would require to frame another Bill to explain the 250 clauses in this Bill.—(Laughter.) He should like to hear from the Attorney-General his de finition of " ratepayer " under the operation of this clause. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL denied that the pre sent Government were accountable for the system of legislation complained of by Hon. Members. The sys tem was by no means a new one, but had been in opera tion for many years, and was deemed convenient fur the public. The sense of the clauses could be easily ex plained by reference to the Companies Clauses Consolidation Act. A personal discussion arose between Mr. WAKLEY and Mr. HuDsoN, in consequence of the Hon. Member for Finsbury reading a lever from Dr. Laycock, of York, which stated that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of York knew nothing of the sanatory condition of that city; that he had not assisted the poor, and that his only communication with them had been many years ago, when he officiated as a Methodist exhorter. Captain PECHELL ultimately withdrew his amend ment, the further consideration of the clause being post poned. _ . - The House then resumed, the Chairman reported pro gress, and the consideration of the remaining clauses were postponed till Thursday, at twelve o'clock. The House then adjourned till Five o'clock. The House resumed at Five o'clock. Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS presented a petition from Liverpool, against any alteration in the navigation jaws. On the motion of Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, the following returns were agreed to :—Return of all papers, reports, communications, and correspondence among the Post office authorities relative to the dismissal of Robert Grapes, late a general post letter carrier in the General Post-office ; showing the grounds of such dismissal, with a copy of the order read to Robert Grapes on Sat ur d a y ev ening, the 3d day of July, by Thoma s B o yd o n, the assistant inspector, announcing such di sm i ssa l ; also, a copy of the remain ing charges brought against the Superintending Presi dent and the Inspector of letter carriers by the said Robert Grapes, the correspondence between Robert Grapes and the Post-office a uthorities relative thereto, with the reason why the further investigation of such charges has been discontinued by Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the Post-offi ce ; a l so , a copy of the evidence given before Mr. Peacock during the late investigation of Ro bert Grapes' charges, with Mr. Peacock's report thereon. OF COLOUR. Yesterday morning en exceedingly full meeting of the board of directors and guardians of the poor of the parish of St. Pancras, was held at the board-room of the workhouse, King's-cross, Camden-town, specially con vened fur the purpose of further investigating the cir cumstances attending the recent death of a youth of colour, named Daniel Hunter, upon whom an inquest was held by Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., on Thursday last; the deceased having been alleged to have died trom the treatment of Mr. Pindar, chemist and druggist, High street, Camden -town, and in whose employ he was a servant. Tne chair was occupied by Mr. Churchwarden Ho worth, who, having made a few prefatory observations, Mr. Pindar was introduced to the board, and ex plained the real circumstances of the case in his own exculpation. At the conclusion Mr. Pindar was questioned at much length as to the construction of the sleeping place of deceased, who, it was clearly stated that, although the room was not the most comfortable apartment, it was far superior to what had been represented, and deceased had occupied it about twelve months, during which period he never once complained of it. Tiffin, the °dicier, was now called and interrogated by , the Board, but his testimony was of a generally unsatis factory character, and the directors unanimously ex pressed their dis ‘pprobation of his conduct, and after some further examination a long di , cussion took place between various members of the Board, including Messrs. Wagstaff, Douglas, Smith, Hunt, .64c., all deeply incensed with the injustice that had been dune Mr. Pindar, and at length, after a protracted investigation, the following re -1 solution was passed:— lti ____ _ " That in the opinion of this Board, the summoning officer or beadle has greatly exceeded his duty, in hav ing interfered to prevent the funeral of Daniel Hunter, without the written authority of the coroner, and that he be reprimanded and cautioned to be more careful in future." Tiffin waa here recalled to hear the resolution read and The CHAIRMAN, addressing him, said he trusted froM the feeling and sentiments he had heard expressed by the Board, that Titlin would in future be more cautious. It was not his (Tiffin's) duty to abuse his office to the prejudice and annoyance of the ratepayers of the parish, though it was the duty of the guardians to protect them trom any impropr interference on the part of un Officer belonging to the parish. After some lurther remarks the proceedings termi nated. THE DAGENHAM MURDER.—APPREHENSION or lIICKTov.—In some of the morning journals of Satur day a paragraph appeared, stating that the Commis. sioners of Police had received information from the constabulary at Dei by of the apprehension of Isaac Hickton, one of the constables uf the K division of police, against whom a true bill for perjury and con spiracy was found at the last assizes for the county of Essex. The following particulars relating to his appre hension, &c., will be read with interest. Atter his dis missal from the police force, Hickton himself states that he went into Wales, where he obtained work fur some time at his trade of a currier. From Wales (having learnt that a true bill had been found against him for perjury, he became fearful that he would be arrested, and havini , become known to the p o li ce i n the neigh • bourhood, e 'he went to Liverpool. At this pl ice he con tinued until his apprehension, confident that he would not be found out. His confidence, however, on seeing the bills recently issued for the apprehension of himself and Sergeant Parsons was shaken, arid be at once wrote to his father at Derby, telling him to give infor mation to Sergeant George Hardy, of the Derby police, where he was to be found, so that Hardy, who had been a schoolfellow of his, might capture him, and get the reward. Hardy accordingly proceeded to Liverpool on Wednesday, and brought Hickton to London. On the following day he was taken before Mr. Justice Erle, at the Judges' Chambers, who issued his warrant for his committal to Ilford gaol, where he will remain until the assizes at Chelmsford. He is stated by those whose duty it is to attend on him to be in a most depressed state of mind. CHILD MURDER AT ROCHESTER.—On Saturday, and by adjournment on Monday, an inquest was held at the :Jaorden Arms, Rochester, death aMr. male infant, the borough coroner, touching the of of a delivered her selfh dma on the previous day. . which Eliza Hewlett, sin who is 38 years single eFwroommanthe evidence it ap peared that the mother of the infant, , . on the road between Rochester and Gravesend; that she of age, had lived servant at the Falstaff Inn, Gad 's-hill, had recently left her place and come to lodge with her • Brown, the sidewife oaf" Liste r in Rochester in consequence of her approaching ors.

Hurley, of Quebec-street, Marylebone, was crossing Oxford -street, near the end of South Moulton-street, when, in endeavouring to get out of the way of an ap proaching carriage, she was knocked down by the horses of an omnibus coming in an opposite direction, the wheels passing over her abdomen.

'Nisi Priui Sittings at Guildhall, before the Loan CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) WILD V. BLACK. This was an action by Mr.IV3TI, the mapseller at Charing-cross, to recover from the defendant, as one of the directors of the Birmingham and Warwick Exten sion Railway Company, a bill for 5501., the balance due for engraving maps and plans of the projected line. Mr. Martin, with Messrs. Willey and Fitzpatrick, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. noggins for the de fendant. It was clearly proved that the defendant took an active part in the promotion of the proposed line, and it was not denied that the work was done, and the prices under all the circumstances reasonable. The defence was that credit was given by the plaintiff to a Mr. Pritchard, the engineer of the company, and not to the company or its directors. It appeared that a large sum had been received for deposits, all of which was ex pended, and that the project was abandoned, and a fiat in bankruptcy issued against the company. The orders for the work had been given to the plaintiff by Pritchard, but it appeared that the directors had paid the plaintiff two sums of 3001. each by cheques, and that they had passed a resolution calling upon the engravers, and amongst others the plaintiff, to send the engraved plates which had been executed to the company's offices. After a short consultation, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 550/. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE CASE OF THE ALLEGED STEALING OF TWO THOUSAND POUNDS' WORTH OF BlLLS.—Yesterday was the day fixed for the re-examination of Mr. Charles Pollard, who stands charged with having obtained 2,0001. in bills, from Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, with intent to steal the same. The court was crowded; and among the crowd might be seen several persons, known at this court, as being connected with a peculiar class of bill-discounters. Alexander Symons was called to prove that the pri soner offered the bills to him for discount. Examined by Mr. Burt—Lived at No. 16, London street, and was a wine-merchant. Saw the prisoner for the first time on Friday week. Had no previous know ledge of the prisoner. Mr. Watson and the prisoner came together. Had known Watson as a commercial tra veller fur many years. Watson or the prisoner said that discount was wanted for a bill of 1,0001. Witness said if it was a genuine good bill he bad no objection to dis count it. The prisoner offered terms. He said he had made up his mind before he came there he would take two hogsheads of wine, give 751. for discount, and take the remainder in cash. Witness replied that would not do, and offered 7501. and two hogs heads of wine, taking the balance for discount. Wit ness did not recollect if he asked the prisoner to produce the bill. The prisoner arranged to call the following day, giving witness, at the same time, to un derstand that he had the bills in his own possession. The prisoner called the following day, with Mr. Watson, and with a person who was represerted to be a Mr. Smith. The prisoner had previously represented to witness that he had drawn a bill on the Prince, who had accepted it, and that it was as good as a Bank of England note. Between the first and second call from the prisoner, witness had heard something about the bills. When the parties arrived at witness's house, Mr. Smith said he came to prove the handwriting of the Prince, if he (witness) had any doubt about the cir cumstance. Smith also said that the prisoner had been rather too modest about the thing, for the fact was the bill was in pawn for 300/. with a silversmith in the Strand. The prisoner admitted this to be the case, and wished him (witness) to go on to the Strand to pay the 3001. and to redeem the bill. The prisoner did not mention the name of the silversmith. Witness replied that was not the way he did business, and he decli❑ed the proposal. During this conversation M. Orsi, the Prince's secretary, came to the door to see him (witness). Witness, on seeing M. Orsi, di rected him to walk up stairs. He had no doubt that Smith and the prisoner saw M. Orsi when he called. Witness apologised to the prisoner and the others for being absent for a minute, and then went to M. Orsi. On his return IA itness found that Smith and Watson were about to leave the house. Smith said to witness, " We have an order from Pollard to get the bill, and we will return in about twenty minutes." The parties left the house, and witness went back into the room where Pollard was, and there Pollard took up a memorandum of the particulars of the bill, which he had placed on the table before, and placed the paper in his pocket. The prisoner then remarked, " Oh! it is impossible they can be back in twenty minutes. I'll go after them, and we will be back here in an hour." The prisoner then went away, but he did not return. Watson came back in about half an hour, but neither Smith nor the prisoner returned. Had not seen the prisoner again until that day. After seeing M. Orsi, witness, of course, did not intend to discount the bill. Had determined, if possible, to get sight of the bill. Mr. Hawkins here objected to the question. Mr. Clarkson, who had since been retained for the Prince, here remarked that it was competent for the witness to give such evidence as might not be strictly legal, but to give it for the inform ition of the Magistrate only. Mr. Hawkins still objected to the admission of irrele vant evidence. Mr. IlennwicK said inadmissible evidence would not be taken down. Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—Had occasionally . discounted bills for a friend, but was not in the habit of discounting bills generally. Watson was a traveller to a friend of witness's. The difference between Pollard's proposal and witness's proposal as the terms of discount was about 2t/. Afterwards would not have discounted the bills, as witness, from information he had subse quently received, believed they had been stolen. Had the bills been brought to witness at the second interview witness would have attempted to get possession of them, with the view of assisting the Prince to recover them. Witness was not prepared to discount the bills at the first interview. Had seen M. Orsi several days prior to the first interview with the prisoner. Be-examined—Had not invited the prisoner to call at his house; but had previous information of the peculiar circumstances of the bill from a French gentleman with whom he was acquainted. Police-constable Culmer, F 117, examined—ln con sequence of information witness received, he appre hended the prisoner on Friday last in Bow-street. The prisoner was given into witness's custody for felony. Went to Vine-street station-house when the Prince came and charged the prisoner with obtaining fraudulently 2,0&01. in bills of exchange from him. Police-constable West, F 106 Went to No. 10, Essex-street on Friday night last, about half-past nine o'clock. Went into a front parlour occupied by the pri soner and his wife. Saw Mrs. Pollard. Searched the room, but could find no bills, but found a quantity of letters and memoranda. The papers were extracts trom money-lending advertisements in the morning papers. Found a letter addressed to Chas. Pollard, 6, Salisbury street, and also a letter directed to Chas. Pollard, No. 10, Essex-street. Also searched the prisoner's bed room, and found more papers. This closed the evidence for the prosecution. Mr. Hawkins said he did not know if it would be of any avail to offer observations as to the larceny, for it the magistrate adhered to the determination expressed at the last examination, to submit the case to a jury, he (Mr. Hawkins) would best discharge his duty to his client by reserving his observations until the time of trial. It, however, any observations on the law or the facts of the case would have an effect on the mind of the Court, he would proceed at once with his argument. Mr. HARDWICK said the opinion he had previously expressed had only been strengthened by the subsequent evidence. Mr. Hawkins must express his exceeding surprise that the evidence which Mr. Bush on the last occasion pledged himself to produce against the prisoner had not been brought forward. Not a tittle of evidence of the alleged fraudulent pretence had been produced, and not one wit ness had been called to carry the case further than it was carried at the last examination. He thought the last remand caused some hardship to the prisoner. Mr. HannwicK said there was still time enough for trying the charge this session. Mr. Hawkins said he was prepared to offer bail to any amount. If bail was accepted, then the prisoner would not be anxious to have the case tried this session. He was prepared with unexceptionable bail. Mr. HARDWICK said the prisoner could apply to the Court above to be admitted to bail. Mr. Clarkson was sure tho magistrate would hear arguments as to facts in law, if they were material ; but with respect to bail, the answer to that was that Pollard had denied himself repeatedly to the Prince when he called in Essex-street. Mr. Hawkins said there was no evidence of that. The prisoner was then fully committed without bail. DERBY COUNTY COURT. The Monthly Courts for Derby Districts were held on Monday and Tuesday in last week, in the County Hall, before J. T. Cantrell, Esq. The question which has been agitated at Bristol and other places, as to the legality of the plaintiff's splitting his claim when more than 204, and bringing two or more actions, came on here on Tuesday, in the case GREGORY V. WILKINSON. The plaintiff is a malster, and the defendant had been a publican in Derby; the whole debt was 301. for malt delivered at different times; the plaintiff brought an ac tion for 181. 165., the price of certain parcels of malt delivered, and another for 11/, 4s. the price of the re mainder. Mr. Flewker, for the defendant, objected that this was one entire debt, and could not be divided to entitle the plaintiff to issue two summonses and recover the whole amount in this Court. The Judge—l am of opinion that this is a running ac count and cannot be divided; it has been treated ail one demand in all cases. If every separate quantity of malt delivered had been treated as a separate debt, and applied for accordingly, the amount might have been divided ; but the plaintiff by his book has treated it as a running account, and therefore the second summons must be dismissed. The business of the Court did not close until seven o'clock on Tuesday evening.—Derbyshire Courier. g ha u s is b h N.—The Queen ADMIR AL SIR EDWARD CODRINGTO , e e e d h u g e tt e c r io t u o sly the ple v a a le a d a to an n d om h his Governor a Greenwich Hospital, as a reward for eminent services.

SPANISH BONDS. Lord G. BENTINCK then rose to move an address to the Crown, praying her Majesty to take such steps as her Majesty may be graciously pleased to deem advisable to secure for the British holders of unpaid Spanish Bonds redress from the Government of Spain. That country, the Noble Lord stated, owed to foreign coun tries a debt amounting to 78 millions sterling, but for the last few years she had only paid interest upon about seven millions. The claims of British subjects upon Spain amounted to forty-six millions, ai?d he should contend that this debt could be legally recovered under the law of nations, while he should at the same time show that Spain was fully able to pay it. Within the last twelve years the revenue of Spain had doubled, and, according to the last state ment of their Minister of Finance, she had considerable excess over her expenditure, notwithstanding that it was most extravagant. The population of Spain amounted to fifteen millions, whilst her revenue amounted to 12,266,0004 Prussia, with the same popu lation, maintained her government with 8,000,0001., and, notwithstanding the economy of her revenue, she ' was able to pay her debts and maintain her credit. The reason of this was explained when they bore in mind that the Court of Spain was one of the most profli gate and extravagant in the world. The expenses of the Court alone amounted to 140,0001. more than the whole amount received by the Queen of England. But that would be nothing to them if Spain paid her debts ; but she refused to do any thing of tho sort, notwithstanding that she had a surplus over her revenue of 422,0001. per annum. The Noble Lord then referred to Grotius as an authority for resorting to stringent measures for the recovery of just debts due to one country from a country unwilling to discharge them. there was no dispute about the debt, as it had been recognised by each Finance Minister sof Spain; but long before or Vatel the right of n debts from another by reprisals, and othe e nation time by al l et to f h the receive either (;governments o v justn Grotiusm e t if necessary, was recognised. During the time of the Romans, for instance, no law was more stringently observed than that of paying what one owed. He was glad to have an opportunity of discussing this matter in the presence of the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston), because no Minis ter of this country had been more anxious to protect this country from being injured by the /aches of other nations.—(Hear, hear.) In 1818 Sir Robert Walpole endeavoured a Bill empow er i ng th e Government o m to foreign nation s w i t h out t h e interven tionbut the H ouse o f C ommons re stricted the Bill, and made it apply to one specific object. In 1835, by the conduc t of the British Government, a large sum of mo n e y owing by Prussia to persons oti,rua ,a i i n this adopt ed which owed some of his subject s a l arge sum o f money, as he seized a ship, and by thi s repr i sal succee d e d i n the object he had in view. Th e N o b le Lor d quote d other instances. British subj ects had lent t h e i r country a similar course towards Spain, money to the Sp.snish nation with their eyes open—in fact, the money was lent at a cheaper rate than that lent to the British Government from 1803 to 1814, as it wa s lent at 651. fur 100/. stock.—(Hear, hear.) Hi s Noble 1 riend (Lord Palmerston) stated that if Portugal did not defray th e sums d ue to the Auxiliary .Legion of Portugal, he would compel them. Lord Howard de Walden was instructed in 1840 to inform her Faithful Majesty that unless the convention for this purpose was immediat e ly agree d to a nd he was enabled to return it ratified in a fortnight, the British Government would take immediate measures to obtain redress.—(Hear.) Altogether there was owing, with arrears of interest, 341,7551. which was due to the Duke of Wellington, Lord Beresford, and a number of other well known British officers, the whole of which was paid; and his Noble Friend adopted a similar cours e with resp e ct to the United States with similar results. There was no excuse why Spain should not pay those debts, for he found that the value of the exports from Porto Rico and Cuba had greatly increased of late years. He found that the exports of Porto Rico, which in 1834 had been only 938,000/ . , had increased in 1845 to 2,000,0001., and the revenue last year from Porto Rico and Cuba amounted to 2,262,5001. , He thought, therefore, that the resources o f Spain were amply suifi- cient to p a y h er debts. The whole amount contri buted by Spanish people to pay off that country's foreign debt was only 200,0001. per annum, or about 3d. per head on th e w h o l e of the popu lation. Now, if any country in the w or ld had a right t o call u p on Spain to pay her just debts, it was England—England, which had never neglected her duty—which had paid 20s. in the pound—which h a d f ree d the continent from the tyranny o f N apoleon ; su rely . England was en titled to ask a nation, r i c h in resources, to pay 3s. 6d. i n th e pound, or , t h r ee farthings . per week for each individual of her population. Spain, when she ' llowed for ever 1001. settled with her own creditors, a 2501. of st oc k, w hi ch was then a t 60 per cent.L aterest. The result w as t h at the home cre di to r was receiving interest at the rate of 7 per cent., while the fore i g n creditors were literally re ce i v i ng nothing. He ( Lord G. Bentinck) did not stand there the tool of the great money lenders he stood there of the city ;in the proud position of the advocate of the widows and the orphans of the brave men who fought and fell in S p ain, and whose little property was lost in the funds of that country. His sympathies were with that class, and he wo u ld take the p liberty of reading to the House a letter from an individual of that class which always received the sy mpathy of that h ouse —he meant a retired half pay officer. The Noble Lord then read the letter, which stated that the whole of thirty years' savings ( . a,OOO/.) had b een i n one unfortuna te hour vested in the Spanish funds. The claims of a large family had com pelled him to part with that stock from time to time, until he was now in the position that he had nothing further to l ose . H e called upon' the Government to com pel Spai n t o ma k e good those just claims. The Noble Lord then concluded by reading his motion. Lord PALMERSTON said, that however ho admitted the . justness of the c l a i ms o f t h e Spanish bondholders, he felt still that ho could not coincide in the mode by which the Noble Lord sought to enforce them. He could not consent that Great Britain should urge, by any threaten ing mode, the claim s of her subjects. Were this an in fringement on th e trade and comme rce of the British subjects, the Government of this country would have but one course to pursue, but this was a very different case, and justice co u ld only be had by means of the law of the country in question. If that law were badly ad ministered, or so defective that injustice would be offered to the subject of this co un t r y, then this Government might have a right to int er f ere , but this was a contract enteredinto between private individuals and a foreign state, and only by the laws of that country could redress be obtained. If individuals were pleased to risk an investment of capital in the funds of a foreign country at their own risk they did it, but it could not surely be maintained that the British Government should then be compelled to step in and to enforce the claims of these subjects. He could not, entertaining these opinions, agree in the propriety of the address to her Majesty, which had been moved by the Noble Lord. He considered that it was most disgraceful on the part of Spain not to pav these debts. He would not retract the expression.—(Hear, hear.) He considered it most disgraceful that that country should have squandered their resources, that the Mem bers of the Administration should, by a system of pil lage, be allowed to amass large fortunes—(Hear, hear) —while the honest creditor was allowed to sink into a state of destitution and of ruin. Spain had no excuse to offer: her resources were double what it had been ten years ago, and might be doubled again if the energies of the oountry were properly directed. But with her re strictive system of commerce, a contraband trade was induced, which employed at least 130,000 men, while another 20,000 was employed in watching these.— (Laughter.) This in'ght be termed protection to native manufactures —(Laughter.) But there was no industry excepting the industry of the contrabandists, which made a man a smuggler to- day and a robber to-morrow. Such was the present state of Spain, and while this state of things continued there remained little hope that matters would be improved. He was bound to say that all the efforts of this country for the liberating of Spaqi had been counteracted by the mis taken jealousy of the French Government. He hoped, however, that the time might yet arrive when Spain would be induced to sweep away this restrictive system, which may enable her to double her resources, and so to pay the just debts which were due to other countries ; he trusted that they would see soon that the interest due upon their debt was not their own, and that they were only in the situation of receivers of the revenue to that extent for the behoof of others. He trusted that the North American States would soon wipe away the dis grace which at present attached to their non-payment of their obligations, and on that point, therefore, he would follow the Noble Lord no further. The Noble Lord referred to the enforcement by Great Britain of the treaty of 1814, of the claims of Marshal Beresford and other sub jects of the British Crown, but the Noble Lord would see that there was a very great differenoe between that case and the present. In the former case, the Govern ment of this country had been one of the contracting parties ; in the latter, the contract was one between private individuals and a foreign country. But at the same time he would call upon foreign countries to do justice to the subjects of this country, because the time might come when the Govern ment might be compelled by that House no longer to see 150,000,0001. of money due to British subjects, without one farthing of interest upon that money being paid. It was not that the British Government were afraid of any country that they were so long quiet, for they feared not one or all of these foreign countries, where the interests of the British subjects were involved.—(Cheers.) Mr. HUME thought that where the private subjects of Britain had claims upon any foreign countries, it was the more incumbent on the British Government to inter- fere; with respect to North America, he trusted that the tone of the Noble Lord would influence North America to repay the obligations they had incurred, and to retrieve their foreign high moral character. Lord G. BENTINCK said, that after the very satis factory manner in which the Noble Lord had met his motion, he should not think of pressing it, and he would, therefore, with the sanction of the House, beg leave to withdraw it. Mr. P. BORTHIVICK said, that the words of the Noble Lord would be more effectual to the procuring of • justice for the people of this country, than an army would. Sir DE LACY EVANS said that the subject of Spain could never be introduced without an attack being made on the present dynasty. He did not think that this was altogether fair, and however much attached the Hon. Member opposite might be to the deposed family, he should be prepared to do, at least, justice to the reigning Queen. The motion was then withdrawn. THE LEADERS OF THE JUNTA. _ In answer t) a question from Mr. HORSMAN, Lord PALMERSTON said, that although Colonel Wylde would not treat with the Junta for the purpose of including Count Das Antas and Sa Bandiera, in the general amnesty issued by the Portuguese Government, yet he had no doubt but they were included in it. In answer to a question from Mr. P. BORTHWICK, Lord PALMERSTON said that the Government had formally pronounced the freedom of the prisoners now on the coast of Africa at the departure of the last dispatch; no ship had, however, been sent for them. BILL FOR THE REPEAL OF DISCRIMINATING DUTIES ON REFINED SUGARS. Mr. MOFFATT moved for leave to bring in a Bill for this purpose. Mr. EWART seconded the motion. He was opposed to all discriminating duties on teas and sugars, and he thought the period was come when all such should be done away with. On the question being put, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion. He thought it would be well to postpone the matter for a year, when the whole question would require to be reconsidered. Mr. MOFFATT, after a few words, withdrew his motion. POOR REMOVAL BILL. Mr. FITZROY moved for leave to bring in a Bill to explain an Act of the 10th year of her present Majesty for amending the laws relating to the removal of the poor. Sir GEORGE GREY said that he would offer no opposition to the introduction of the Bill, but he would not promise the Hon. Member that he should support the second reading. He thought that this subject would be well left over to another session. Leave was given to bring in the Bill. ACCIDENTS IN COLLIERIES. Mr. HUME, in the absence of Mr. Duncombe, moved for leave to bring in a Bill to prevent the use of gunpowder and candles in collieries. After a few words from Sir G. GREY, Leave was given to bring in the Bill. SCINDE. Mr. HUME moved for copies of all the correspond ence that has taken place between the Court of Directors and the Secret Committee with the Government of India and the Board of Control, on the subject of Scinde, since last returns ; and a return of the Revenue and expendi ture of India for the last three years.—Motion agreed to. PAYMENTS TO MINISTERS AND CONGRE- CATIONS. Mr. HUME also moved for a return of all payments during the years 1844, 1845, 1846, and 1847, under the Act 6 Geo. IV., c. 87, to ministers and congregations, and others, abroad, with the names and places, and amounts to each in each year, and the aggregate sum in each year.-Motion agreed to. GRANTS TO PROTESTANT DISSENTERS. Mr. lIUME also moved for copies of any correspond ence, since the Ist day of January, 1847, between the Non-conforming or Protestant Dissenting ministers iu Ireland and the Irish Government or the Treasury, re specting any increase in their grant, or any suspension of the rules under which the congregations have to pay certain sums before their ministers can receive the Par li.amentary grant.-Motion agreed to. PROPERTY AND INCOME-TAX. Mr. MOFFATT moved for a return of the charge on persons in trade and professions to the property and in come -tax, 5 and 6 Vic , c. 35, under schedule D, for the year ending the sth day of January, 1847, distinguish fog the amounts charged in classes, from above 1501 . and under 2001. ; 200/. an under 300/. ; 300/. and under 4001. ; 400/. and under 5001. ; 500/. and under 600/. ; 6001. and under 700 Z ; 7001. and under 8001. ; 800/. anti under 900/. ; 900/. and under 1,000/. ; 1,000/. and under 1,5001. ; 1,5001. and under 2,000/. ; 2,500/. and under 3.000/. ; 3,000/. and under 4,0004 ; 4,000/. and under 5,000/. ; 5,000/. and under 10,000/. ; 10,000/. and under 20,000/. ; 20,000/. and under 30,0001. ; 30,000/. and under 50,0004 ; 50,000/. and upwards ; showing the amount chargeable in each class, the number of persons in each class, and the amount of tax received from each class. Also, for a return of charge to the property and income tax, 5 and 6 Vic., c. 35, on persons in receipt oi salaries, pensions, annuities, or other payments under schedule E, distinguishing the amounts charged in classes, from above 1501. and under 200/. ; 2001. and under 300/. ; 3001. and under 400/. ; 400/. and under 5001. ; 5001. and under 600/ ; WO/. and under 700/. ; 7001. and under 8001. ; 800/. and under 900/. ; 9001. and under 1,000/. ; 1,0001. and under 1,500/. ; 1,500/. and under 2,0001. ; 2.000/. and under 3,000/. ; 3,000/. and under 4,000/. ; 4,000/. and under 5,000/. ; 5,000/. and upwards ; showing the amount chargeable in each class, the number of persons in each class, and the amount of tax received from each class.

Mr. HOPEl33oved for, and obtained leave to, bring in a Bill to facilitate the investment of trust monies in the improvement of land. MASTERS IN CHANCERY.—AFFIDAVIT OFFICE BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill, the several clauses ►ere agreed to, and the Bill was reported. CUSTODY OF OFFENDERS BILL. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, the Bill was read a third time and passed. JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES' BILL. This Bill was also read a third time and passed.

The report iNitS thou ordered to b 3 brought up to. morrow,. RAJA OP SATTARA. On the order of the day being read for resuming the adjourned debate on this subject, Mr. EWART put it to the Government, as the sub ject was creating a deep impression in the public mind, whether it would not be advisable and politic to insti tute an inquiry into the claims of the Raja? As the Hon. Member, however, was proceeding to deliver a speech, he was called to order by The SPEAKER, who said that the Hon. Member must confine himself to the question he had risen to put. Mr. EWART then simply asked the question. Sir J. C. HOBE - MUSE assured the Hon. Gentleman who brought forward the motion and the Hon. Gentle man who had asked the question that if the Raja of Sattara had been unjustly deposed that he ought to be reinstated. He should be the last man to object to an inquiry. He felt, however, that he could not consistently with his duty accede to the motion. The question of his claims had been fully discussed on a motion of the Hon. Member in 1845 ; it would be, therefore, sufficient for him now to state briefly the nature of the whole ques tion. Ile denied that the Raja was an independent Prince, and that this country was bound to him by a sacred treaty to sustain hire on the throne. It was true he was the son of Sevige ; but this man, and those connected with him were the mere puppets of the dominant powers—the governors of the Mahratta empire. He was born in Persia, and both he and his relatives were utterly powerless. Captain Grant stated that he was sly, and given to dissimulation and intrigue, and General Briggs gave a most prophetic account of him. After mentioning his good qualities, he stated that the Raja appeared disposed to remove himself from the control of this nation, under whose control he was stated to have been placed, and that his passion for in trigue, and inordinate notion of power, would even tually lead to his ruin. He admitted that General Briggs had stated that he had found reason to change his opinion since he made this statement ; but he (Sir John C. Hobhouse) contended that the etatement first made by him was more worthy of credence, from the circumstances under which it was made. General Lod wick—and a change had also come over his dream — stated that the Raja acted entirely without control, and as if he were not bound by the treaty with this country, by which the British Government put him upon the throne, and pledged itself to keep him there, on his ob serving certain conditions, which he had broken. This he thought was sufficient to condemn him, and to jus tify the Government in calling upon him either to ob serve the treaty, or to retire from the throne. He was bound to put himself under the control of the British resident, but he refused to do so. He might also quote the opinion of General Robertson to the same effect. It was true, in 1836, the Court of Directors felt so pleased with the conduct of the Raj s, that they presented him with a sword; it was also true that he signed the dispatch which accompanied it; but they had since had reason to alter their opinion. In the same year, Lieutenant-General Lodwick reported that the Raja had violated the treaty—that be had shown himself faithless—and that his conduct presented no " extenuating circumstances." It was on the receipt of these reports by the Government of Bombay, that a com mission, consisting of three competent and impartial gentlemen, was appointed in October, 1836, to inquire into the charges which had been made, and they were made by the most competent person to do so; namely, the British resident. The gentlemen were General Lodwick, Mr. Willoughby, and Colonel Ovens, whose character was unimpeachable, and they were re quested to inquire into the alleged infraction of the treaty. They sat 24 days, examined all parties brought before them on oath, and they came to a deci sion with which every one would agree. His Hon. Friend said that the Raja was not heard in his defence ; but he attended on the 13th day with his brother and others, when his servants were examined with respect to the conspiracy at Bellapore, Hydrabad, and other places. Mr. Willoughby told him it' he was guilty of the charges imputed to him, that it would be well for him to confess his guilt ; adding, at the same time, that they were ready to hear him. Both on that day and the 16th, and on other days depositions were received from him, and witnesses sent by him were examined. No man could say that he did not receive all the advan tages which an accused had a right to demand.—(Hear.) The Commissioners sent all their proceedings to the Government of Bombay, anti they were ultimately transmitted to the home Government. Sir Ro bert Grant had been stated to have had an interest in injuring the case of the Raja; but there was no man more fair or more consistent than that lamented gentleman.—(Hear, hear.) tie stated that no one would deplore the departure of the Raja, and that no one would think that he had been the victim of the oppression and tyranny of this country, but of his own over-reaching ambition. Did they think that Sir Robert Grant would have hazarded this record of his opinion, if he had not sincerely believed that he was honestly justified in expressing it?—(Hear, hear.) And Mr. Farish and Mr. Anderson, two of the council of Sir Robert Grant, agreed in stating that the Reja had throughout shown a disposition to break away from the terms of the treaty. He also stated that the views of the Raja were to seduce the native officers of the British army from their allegiance, and though they were gene rally futile—(Hear, hear, prom Mr. Hume) —still they were of a character to justify the course that was taken against him. The opinions of these men having been communicated to Lord Auckland, that nobleman stated that he freely concurred in the unanimous opinion of the Government of Bombay that the it .ja was guilty of the treason which was Lid to his charge, and that he was unworthy, from his ambition and malignity, to fill the position which he held. He would now read the opinion of General Morrison, who was then in In dia, who was fully acquainted with the particulars of the case. That gentleman was of opinion that there were the strongest proofs of his disaffection and hostility, but he was of opinion that it would be wrong to send him to trial, but at once to depose him, and to declare the reasons for such a step. He would now come to the opinion of another gentleman, Mr. Wil berforce Bird. That gentleman was also of opinion that the stipulations of the treaty had been violated, and that the Raja should be set aside. Mr. Robertson, who was for a long time intrusted with the go vernment of the north-eastern provinces, con firmed the testimony of the gentleman whose opinions had just been quoted, that the Raja deserved the treatment which he had received. He now came to the proceedings of the Board of Control. When Sir James Carnac went out to India, the last words which he (Sir J. C. Hobhouse) said to him at his departure were, to deal with the greatest le niency with the Reja. In the negotiations of that Baronet with the Raja, the latter objected not to the preamble of the treaty, as had been stated, but to the second article, which he believed would reduce him to the condition of a mere steward or serf under the British Government. Now he (Sir J. C. Hobhouee) contended that this objection involved a disinclination to the treaty itself, and confirmed the opinions which were entertained of the Raja's conduct. Sir James Carnac, however, gave the Rejah every op portunity to re-consider his determination, and it was not till the Raja refused for the third time to sign the stipulation, that he was deposed. The Right Hun. Baronet then proceeded to defend Colonel Ovens from the misrepresentation which had been made against him in a petition presented to the Ileuse of Commons, from Mr. Forbes, in 1839, and also the other charges that had been made against that officer by the Hon. Member for Montrose. That Gallant 3fficer had behaved with the greatest leniency towards the Raja, when in the act of deposing him, and with regard to the charge of forgery he (Sir C. Hohhouse) stated that Colonel Ovens was the first who suggested doubts as to the authenticity or the forged seals.—(Hear, hear.) There never was an officer so maligned. It was his (Sir J. C. Hobheuse) opinion that the Rajah would never been influenced adopted the course he did, ha d he not influenced by bad advice from Bombay—to the effect that no such steps would be taken against him. After reading the opinions of Mr. Edmonston, who took the same views as the others whose opinions he had quoted, the Right Hon. Baronet p i oceeded to detail the course adopted by the Court of Proprietors of the East India Company, when the charges were brought against Colonel Ovens by Mr. George Thompson, and when not a single individual of that body .eaeo his vote in favour of the truth of these charges. It appeared to him, in conclusion, that it would be fatal to the Government of India to take the power from them which they at present exercised, except upon a case of the greatest necessity ; and if the House showed a distrust in the authorities there, they would be strik ing a blow at the svereienty of India from which it would never recover.—(Cheers.) Au Hog. MEMBER said it was considered by all parties that the Raja, would be treated with a second trial, and it would be seen from the debates which had occurred upon tnis subject that Sir Robert Peel was of opinion that a second trial ought to be granted. The Raja had fully proved that he was totally ignorant of the offences which had been attributed to la:m, while the evidence of the Ministers of Spain and Portugal fully proved that the declaration of innocence on the part of the Raja was sincere ; and yet, in the teeth of all this testimony, a second hearing had been refused. to the Raja. There could be no doubt that the Raja did not have justice done to him on his first trial, and it was no less certain that the Raja had been treated with nothing but cruelty since the first inquiries into his alleged offence, when the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Board of Control had told the House that Lord Auckland was convinced of the guilt of the Raja of Satara.—(llear, hear.) He would not do the Noble Lord the injustice to suppose that the Noble Lord was sincere in that opinion, but this he would say, that the Noble Lord had never denied the right of the Baja to claim and to have con ceded to him a fair trial. lie contended that the facts and statements of his Honourable Friend the Member for Montrose remained not only uncon troverted but uncontradicted. True, it had been shown that he was in erro r in some of his details, but never theless, he trusted the special pleading of the Right lion. Gentleman the President of the Board of Control would not prevent further inquiry being instituted into this painful and distressing case. The Right Honourable Gentleman might object to inquire into the merits of the case through the medium of a Committee of that House; but the Raja and his agents were disposed to submit to any other species of inquiry, and he for one, as a Mem ber of the independent section of the Legislature of this country, trusted that justice would not be refused to the Raja by the British House of Commons.—(Hear.) Mr. PETER BORTHWICK said he would not detain the House at any great length upon this question, but be really must confess that having listened attentively to the details of the case of the Raja of Sattara, he could not help thinking that a second inquiry ought to be instituted' into it. No doubt the Raja was a person of sly habits. He acquired those habits through being trained in a gaol, but bear ing in mind the fact that after twenty years' expe rience the Indian Government bad found the Raja more "h i dtot he &Weil 041titUtiNt tnd British authorities than any other Prince of a similar ohs' racter, it was clear that the charges against the Raja, if not without foundation, were grossly exaggerated, and ke thought an inquiry could not be re fused. But a Member of that House had stood up in his place and told them that if they would grant him an inquiry into this case, he would prove that an offer of indemnity and reward were made by the British Goverament to the Raja of Sattara if be would only confess his guilt, and he, for one, thought that after such a statement as this, the inquiry asked for could not be refused. If the Raja were A hypocrite, as was represented by the Right Hon. Geneve man the President of the Board of Control, he would, in preference to getting up an agitation through the medium of his agents on his own behalf, have rested satisfied with his allowance of 12,0001. a-year, but ho (Mr. Borthwick) felt that injustice had been done to the Raja, and it was on that account that the Raja was induced to agitate this question. He must, therefore, give his vote in favour of the motion of the Honourable Member for Montrose if her Majesty's Government declined 07 give a pledge that some further inquiry should be in stituted into this painful and distressing case.—(Hear.) Dr. BOWRING thought the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Board of Control had treated the Raja of Sattara with gross injustice. The Court of Directors of the East India Company and the British residents at Sattara, before these charges which had lead to the deposition of the Raja were preferred, pronounced the Raja to be one of the staunchest supporters of the British Government ; and it was not, till it was found convenient to make these unjust charges against the Raja, that they felt them selves called upon to change their opinions in that re spect. lie thought, therefore, that some further inquiry ought to be instituted into the case of the Raja. Mr. B. ESCOTT said the case made out for the de cision of the House remained without any answer on the part of those who should support the sentence against the Raja of Sattara, and if it were on that ground alone, he thought the further inquiry asked for ought to be conceded by the House.—(Hear, hear.) Sir E. COLEBROOKE thought the lion. Member for Montrose had made out a strong case for inquiry, and he should certainly give the motion of the Hon. Gentle man his support.—(Hear, hear.) Sir J. W. HOGG said, whatever might be said to the contrary, there could be no doubt that the statement of the Right Honourable Gentleman the President of the Board of Control was a sufficient answer to the charges of the Honourable Gentleman, the Member for Montrose. The Raja had been fairly tried, he had had every opportunity of defending him self against the charges which had been preferred against him, and let them institute as many inquiries as they liked, it was quite impossible that any other result could be come to than that which had already been arrived at. —(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman the Member for Montrose had asked for a Commission of Inquiry to be sent out to Bombay. Why, that Commission had already been sent out, and after the conclusion that Commission had come to upon the case of the Raja, there could be no possible advantage derived from any further inquiry into the matter, no person could read through the evidence adduced on the trial of the Raja, admitting as he did the absurdity of the schemes which it was said the Baja had in view, without being convinced that the Raja was guilty of the charges preferred against him. What use could there be in any further inquiry? No thing whatever, and he hoped, therefore, the House would not agree to the motion of the Hon. Gentleman opposite.—(Hear, hear.) Lord JOHN MANNERS supported the motion for an inquiry into the case of the Raja. After a few words from Mr. HUME, The House divided, when there appeared— For the inquiry 23 Against it Majority —2l The House then went into Committee pro forma. The remaining orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half.past One o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATES IN SCOTLAND.

The two burgh Conservative candy dates are Lord Lincoln in Falkirk District, and Sir S. W. Drummond, of llawthornden, in Haddington trict. Edinburgh, and we may say Leith, Elgin, Fel kirk District, Glasgow, Greenock, Haddington District , and Stirling are, therefore, to be the scenes of election contests. Aberdeen, Ayr District, Dumfries, Dundee , Kilmarnock District (perhaps), Kirkaldy, Montrose District, Paisley, Perth, St. Andrew's District, Wick District, and Wigton District, exhibit no symptoms of * contest. It is said, however, that Mr. Loch is to be or posed in the Wick District ; and the starting of Sir Coutts Lindsay, Colonel Blair, of Blair, and Lord Reid' haven for the counties of Fife, Wigton, and Banff bag, in the meantime, no better foundation than rumour.
