To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, Which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to ()aside him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth ' , and a standard whereby to judge, when delis:my of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea (muse of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to chel:k the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if nut relinquished. - Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence,: No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till 'three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, toe symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the pat ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 11.," without wlich no notice whatever can bes taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

A meeting held lately at Washington of the aboli tionists of slavery, and the resolutions passed on the occasion, have given rise to the most hostile feelings between the parties in America who are adverse or otherwise to the views of the Abolition Society. The resolution which has chiefly given rise to the contest is, that the coloured population of Upper Canada having sought protection under the British Crown, are, though colonised by their own consent beyond the boundary, not only entitled to the sympathies of their friends in the Union, but stand among the most deeply injured of the human race. The indignation which such a resolution would ex cite among those opposed to the Abolitionists is easily conceived. They call it an invitation to the slaves of the south to run away from their masters, and an offer of refuge in a neighbouring province, where they will be protected by the abolitionists, if they cannot set their masters at defiance in the United States. Con sidering the whole as a step against the rights of the south, the anti-abolitionists are particularly indignant at the southern representatives, who favour such opera tions. The remarkable part, however, of these resolu tions is one regarding a conference in London to settle these vestions, and which increased the indignation. In these resolutions a heartfelt interest is professed on the part of the American Anti-Slavery Society in what they term the " World's Convention," about to as semble at London, and an anticipation from its la bours of a powerful influence on the general condition of the victims of slavery. Ceatain persons were even appointed by the Anti-Siavery Society to represent them in the " World's Convention." Such an appoint ment of deputies is regarded with extreme jealousy by the anti-abolitionists, who consider it a co-operation of rival nations in a plan which may ultimately destroy the Union itself. Nor do they merely regari this as an ultimate result of which the abolitionists may them selves be ignorant, but think that they actually aim at a total subversion of the American Government. The two parties seem neither of them to have acted with sufficient discretion. The abolitionists indulge in invectives against the whole American Church for not assisting them in their endeavours, and thus needlessly excite much bitter feeling ; while the other party, in their eagerness to show the danger the Government is likely to suffer from the abolitionists, and to prove that their zeal is actually treasonable, rather hold up the weakness of a Government they are labouring to de fend, and might, if not careful, identify the interests of the country with those of inhumanity. As the indica. tion of a new point to which the contest on the slavery question has arrived in the United States, and in which Great Britain is to be brought, if possible, to take a di• rect concern, these proceedings arc well entitled to at tention: What degree of support they may be expect ed to receive from the abolitionists of this country re mains to be seen ; the appeal may place them in a very delicate and difficult PEEBLES SHERIFF COURT.' JULY 1840. 4PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. /FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.) (From the Globe.) The House of Lords will be engaged this evening in discussing the amendments, as they are termed, made by that House in the Irish Municipal Bill, and which the Commons have declined to adopt, and have assigned their reasons for disagreeing with their Lordships' views of their propriety. Tim position of the two Houses, although opposite, is not, we trust, determinedly antago ni.stieal to the settlement of this long-contested question. In the Lords the Bill underwent alterations in some of its most material clauses. The people of Ireland are not to have the English franchise, to which, as subjects of din same State, they had a legitimate claim. A per manent franchise of 101. rated value has baen fixed as the amount which shall confer a right of voting. The Lord-Lieutenant, and not the Councils, as in England, is to have the nomination of the Sheriffs ; while other restrictions imposed on the municipal bodies too plainly show the reluctance with which municipal rights have, even with these limitations, been conceded by the Peers. The House of Commons, influenced by a desire to terminate the controversy, has agreed to adopt most of the Lords' Amendments. There are some, however, to which they have been compelled to withhold an assent. The measure is as the Bill now stands, to be suspended on conditions, and in others impeded in its operations by obstacles created by the amendments, which it would be perilous to the efficiency of the Bill, were they to become law. We sincerely hope the Lords will come to the consideration of the points on which the final adoption of the Bill by the other House, in the spirit of conciliation which the Commons has wisely manifested. The present is, obviously, no t i me f or w id en i ng b reac hes by perpetuating the elements of party strife. (From the Standard.) There is a conference now in progress between the Houses of Lords and Commons upon the subject of the Irish Municipal Bill. This is all very silly, not to say disgusting. Thu Bill has been settled for weeks. Both parties have resolved upon passing it in some shape or other, and it little matters in what shape it passes, except that the worst shape is probab l y that which will bring matters the soonest to a solution, and may therefore be regarded as the best. in the end. The early part of the sitting in the House of Commons was consumed in complaints of the cruelty practised upon the Chartist prisoners, and in consider ing how to dispose of Mr. John Thorogood. We are sorry to see the levity with which the complaints of the Chartists are received on both sides of the House. They are mistaken and violent in their opinions—we think they arc, they certainly are generally poor men, and men of humble rank ; but none of these considerations ought to subject them to those " unusual and cruel pun ishments" to which they are subjected, in direct con travention of " The Bill of lt;ghts." It may be in deed surmised, that there is a sordid pecuniary specula tion at the bottom of their political violence ; it is very likely there is. We hive rarely, if ever, known, excessive political zeal altogether free from some aspect to the breeches pocket. The Whigs, when they poured forth the full tide of treason and se dition in 1831 and 1832, were, as their subsequent con duct has demonstrated, thinking of nothing but official salaries, and we cannot understand how the profits of a trade in seditious tracts and seditious newspapers, pre sent a baser motive of act - on than the profits of sedi tious speeches in official salary, or " bull-beggar rent." Let us then hear no more of the sordid motives m n o o ti m ve o s re of th th an e Chartist prisoners, as disentitling them to s y m p a thy an d to the public support when they tim justice. (From the Courier.) Mr. Aglionby last night tnoved for an humble address to the House for a Commission of Inquiry into the alle gations inserted by Mr. Feargus O'Connor in his peti tion to the House of Commons respecting his treat ment in York Castle. Unless those statements are au thoritatively denied, there is no real objection why an inquiry should not be imm = ediately instituted into the management of prisons. Of course we are not contem plating merely the case of Chartist or any other pri soners for political offences, but an enlarged and liberal inquiry into the regulations which have been introduced into our gaols, whether experimentally or with an in tention to establish them . perinanently. From all that we can learn it would appear that what is the rule of one place of confinement is not adopted in another ; whereas in a country like England nothing is more ne cessary than uniformity. The want - otthis is a sort of error mainly attributable to the persons whom the Whig government has placed upon the commission of the peace. Then, if the statements are wrong respect ing the variety of gaol-regulations throughout the k;ng don], it is a very proper subject of inquiry whether the regulations for the discipline of prisoners be authorised by law or not. On this particular ground we approve of Mr. Aglionby's motion. STEAM TO THE MEDITERRANEAN. The first of the Royal Mail Contract Steamers, The Oriental, will sail this month from Liverpool to Alexandria, landing passen- , gars and goods at Malta, in the lonian Islands, and in Greece. •We understand that a line of steamers will sail from Suez, in connexion with the Mediterranean line, touching at Aden, in Arabia, at the Island of Ceylon, and at Madras, on the pas sage to Calcutta.

Her Ladyship was Miss Laura Hayes, daughter of Mr. W. Hayes, and was married in January, 1829, to the Earl of Cernwallis, being his second wife. The deceased lady had no issue. By her Ladyship's decease the families of Lord and Lady Bt ayhrooke, the Dowager Marchioness of Corn wallis, Mr. and Lady Mary Ross, Lord and Lady Jemima Eliot, Mr. and La)! Mary Singleton, &c., are placed in mourning. A NARROW EscArE.-011 Tuesday afternoon, three of the river police, named Lut o n, King, and Griffin, were passing the Hermitage lock, W a ppi n g, in a galley, when the people on board the -Pitwerpe q steamer hailed them, and said . 4 Iffy had just - 4flen overbbard from a Scotch snack at Iron-. gatesta:irs. 'They-rowed' after him, and found him drifting down the stream towards a tier of steam vessels. The boat hook was put out, but he disappeared before it could reach him. The officers rowed on, and saw him rise again to the surface under the head of a steamer, and in a few seconds he would have disappeared beneath the vessel, when King put his arm down and laid hold. alike by the hair. of - his h ead, and, With the assistance of Griffin and Luton, dragged him into the boat. He was quite insensible and black in the face, but on the application of the usual stimulants, and a little rubbing , he was recovered, and the first words the boy (w ho is a nati ve of Scot land)everVerdict uttered after his recovery were , " I had a can ny swim for it." It appears that he fell over board while ma king the ship's boat fast.

A meeting of those having burying-ground and otherwise interested in this cemetery, was held at Alloway Kirk, afterwards adjourning to the Burn's Arms Inn, on Thursday last. Several of the neigh bouring landed proprietors were present, and the as semblage was altogether such as to indicate no com mon solicitude in the due preservation of this now celebrated place of sepulture. The object of the meet ing was chiefly to hear a - statemeut of the manner in which the funds, contributed by subscription some time ago, had been expended, and to adopt regula tions for the future management of the ground. After the union of the parish of Alloway with that of Ayr, upwards of a century ago, the Kirk ceased to be kept in repair ; and so much was the place neg lected, that, in course of time, the wall enclosing the ground was almost totally thrown down, and cattle had free ingress and egress amongst the tombs. This was the case at the time Burns wrote his poem of " Tam o . Shanter," which has conferred so much celebrity on " Alloway's auld haunted Kirk." About twenty years ago, when the locality became an object of daily in. creasing interest to the admirers of the Ayrshire Bard, a subscription was raised to rebuild the dilapidated en closure ; but the erection again fell into disrepair, and the Kirk itself—deprived of its oaken rafters, by the rapacity of a horde of unscrupulous relic hunters, who stripped the walls of almost every ves tige of wood in the course of a few weeks—was in dan ger of speedily crumbling to the ground. The head stone of the Poet's father had also been chipped away in portions till the whole had nearly dis appeared. In order to preserve the building, and repair, in as far as possible, the damage sus tained, a subscription was again had recourse to, from the proceeds of which part of the eastern gable of the Kirk was rebuilt, the whole pointed, and put in a condition to resist' . the hand of time for a number of years to come. The Kirkyard dyke was also built up and topped in a substantial manner, the monumental stone of Burns's father renewed, and sundryother amend ments effcc:cd, which have tended greatly to improve ' the appearance of the place. The meeting finally adopted resolutions for the formation of an additional cemetery close to Alloway Kirk. It was also agreed, that a plan of the ground should be made out, together with an alphabetical list of the proprietors of lairs, with the view of enjoining the utmost regularity and eco nomy in the use o the ground. This is an essential regulation, owing to the great demand of late for sepul ture in a churchyard destined to become still more an object of public curiosity as time recedes. SCOTT V. ADAM. The following interesting case has just been decided in this Court :—ln 1836, a farm servant, near Peebles, 'wounded his neigbour severely on the head in an acci dental zeuflie, and was committed for trial at the ensuing Circuit. As the prisoner bore a good character, and had a sickly wife and numerous family dependinc , on him for their supprort, th e R ev . M r , Ad am took a deep inte rest in his case, bailed him out Of Jail, and then called upon Thomas Scott, writer, Abbotsmeadow, near Mel rose, to converse with him relative to the probable result of his trial. Mr. Scott said be would require to precognose the witnesses before giving a decided opinion, and as he was told there were no funds, and the man to be tried very poor, offered, it is alleged, to come up gratuitously to Peebles to.examine the witnesses, and proposed that a subscription should be raised to defray all necessary expenses that might stand connected with the trial. He came ; and Mr. Adam, following up Mr. Scott's suggestion, afterwards raised a subscription of 121. 15s. 6d. Mr. Scott continuA to conduct the case till its termination, when the panne] received a sen tence of three months' imprisonment. The subscription was then disbursed by Mr. Adam, in paying expenses of witnesses, &c., and Mr. Scott received 21. as his share. Scott afterwards, however, rendered a heavy account, charging the defender for his professional trou ble, as well as his outlay, to which the defender an swered there was no account due. _ The claim thus made and refused was allowed to slumber till July, 1839, when Mr. Scott brought an action against Mr. Adam for its recovery. He pled that Mr. Adam was responsible as his employer ; while, on the other hand, it was urged that Mr. Scott had vo lunteered his services gratuitously, excepting that he was to be paid any actual expenditure he might he put to in the conducting of the defence, and eveu this to be paid out of the subscription. After a proof, the Sheriff• Substitute assoilzied the defender, and found the pursuer, Scott, ?fable in ex penses. On appeal the Sheriff affirmed this judgment. The pursuer then referred the case to the defendant's oath, and next day the Sheriff of new assoilziod the defender, and found Scott liable in additional expenses. The result has been very agreeable to Mr. Adam's numerous friends, who are glad to find that his be nevolent exertions oa behalf of a poor and unfortunate man have not proved, as was expected by some, a source of oppression to himself. His Grace the Duke of Leeds has been pleased to appoint the Rev. H. Jodrell, B. A., Exeter College, O x f or d ; one of his domestic chaplains. MR. BRAIIAM.—A good deal has been said by some of our contemporaries respecting the little encourage ment Mr. Braham received on his recent visit to Stamford. The fact is, that his intended appearance there bad not been announced in any of the provincial newspapers, owing to die shortness of the notice, and very few bills could be pasted stating his arrival and intentions. On the night of his benefit, however, the house was crammed to the roof, and he was re quired to repeat all his fay.urite songs in The Shme, and, if we mistake not, in The Waterman. So far there can be no just imputation on the inhabitants of Stamford for not duly en couraging a British singer of so much eminence; but we can- . not help addirg that we think Mr. Braham was somewhat to blame in accepting an engagement so suddenly that no use could be made of the ordinary channels of information. IRELAND. HARVEST PROSPECTS.—We are still blessed wit the finest weather, and there is every appearance of its continuance. It is quite delightful to read the accounts from the country—all giving the most cheering accounts of the prospects of the Harvest. CAVAN ELECTION.—To permit Colonel Clements to come in for Cavan is censurable. It is really discredit• able to the Liberals that some effective effort has not been made to rescue Cavan from the Tories. All that is required to beat them from the field is timely exer tion, and cordial co-operation on the part of the great Liberal proprietors and the people.—Dublin Evening Post. AN INJURED MAN.—The following "affair of ho nour" occurred . on Saturday at Henry-street Office, when Mr. F. W. Beaumont was brought before Mr. Duffy, of the " C division," charged with having writ ten a hostile letter to Captain Ellisson, of the SSth Regiment, now stationed in Richmond Barracks. Mr. Beaumont being under the impression that Captain Ellisson had taken some liberties with his lady, sent him a challenge to meet him at half-past three o'clock on Saturday morn;ng in the Fifteen Acres. Mr. B. was in the park at the appointed hour, but Captain E. did not make his appearance at all upon " the daisy." A figure was seen by Mr. B. approaching throughength a the trees o Nearer very r . r e and spe e n t e a a h r l e e r a i p t p e e l : ale till l a t l pre sented himself to view. " I presume," said Mr. 8., ad dressing the stranger, "you arc second to Capt. Ellis son. It is very unfortunate that I cannot procure a man ere second. One gentleman was sick, and another was out of town. Neither have I any pistols; but," added he, with the sang froid of a Sir Lucius O'Trigger, "I came here for fighting, and fight I will. You, of course, have brought pistols, and as for a second, why you can officiate for both plincipalv." " I am not a second," said the person addressed, "but Police-Sergeant Clarke, of the C division, and I have a warrant in my pocket to arrest you." " Oh," exclaimed the amazed Mr. 8., " is it possible that the fellow has given information himself." Sergeant Clarke waited with Mr. B. in the park' for some time expecting that either Cap tain Eilisson or his second would arrive ; and finding. that neither came, he called a car and brought Mr. B. to Dublin. Mr. B. told the officer that he had been married to his wife in the Straw market, but that if he had married her according to the ceremony of the established religion, he would bring an action for " crim. con." against the Gallant Captain. Dlr. Beaumont was directed by Mr. Duffy to find bail to keep the peace, himself in 1001., and two sure ties of 501. each. At twelve o'clock, he was brought into the board-room again, by order of Mr. Duffy, who asked him if he bad found his bail. He replied that he bad written for gentlemen, but he feared they could not come to him till it was late in the day. THE WEATHER IN IRELAND.—Nothing can be more propitious than the weather. Heat, sun, wind—every thing that the heart of man could desire for bringing to perfec tion the prospects of harvest held alit by a bounteous Provi dence.—Mail. AFFECTING STORY.—A recent letter from Omek, in Siberia, relates the followinr , affecting tale :—" A young woman, only twenty, of striking beauty, and one of the most distinguished families in St. Petersburgh, was condemned three years ago to labour hi the mines for the rest of her life, for having, in a paroxysm of jealousy, killed her husband. Her youth and mildness of character induced the Governor, in stead of sending her down into the mines, to appoint her one of the superintendents of the hospital at Omek. Induced by the great propriety of her conduct, the governor petitioned, some time ago, for and obtained her pardon. On this being com municated to her she was overcome with gloom, and a few days afterwards was discotfetedlii - Pr room lifeless, having opened her veins by 'means of a large nail. She left the following written on a card :-" Death for death! Human justice par dons rae, but divine justice never can. God calls me to him —whom I loved, whom I murdered, but whom I still love. Adieu! Pardon me ! Pray for me ! Pr 4 for me !"—French Paper. THE OPERA.—Her Majesty's Theatre will close for the season'on Saturday se'nnight, when the manage ment will have given the usual number of subscription nights, viz., fifty. The season has been unusually brilliant, and has afforded a handsome profit to the moneyed speculators who lease the establishment, after deducting the salary to the director (M. Laporte). The prima donna Giu: ietta Grisi, accompanied by Ernesta Grisi and M. Benedict, depart on a provincial tour on the 16th and 17th. They give concerts at Leamington Spa. Cerito will leave for Stuttgardt, where the manager of the Royal Theatre in that capital has engaged her, by direction of his Majesty the King of Wirtemberg. Madame Persiani goes to Paris, where, we are sorry to state, her only son is in very ill health. The last rehearsal of the new ballet, Le Toreador, last evening, went off extremely well. SUNDERLAND, AUG. 3.—The remains of the Earl of Durham arrived here in his yacht between seven and eight o'clock this morning. The shops have been all half closed during the day, and the ships in the river have bad their colours flying half-mast high. The remains were removed from the yacht at five o'clook this afternoon, and placed in a steam vessel to be conveyed up the river to South Biddick, where a hearse and coaches will be waiting to carry them to Lambton Castle. It is understood his Lordship will be buried at Chester-le-street, on Monday, the 10th, or Tuesday, the 11th instant. Viee.Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., has been placed in mourning by the demise of his daughter, the Countess Charlotte 13riedenback, at Darmstadt, on the 18th ult.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RlVER.Yee terday morning, between six and seven, a fatal accident oc curred off Southwark-bridge to James Hatfield, a youth twelve years of age, residing in Castle-street, Southwark. He was riding on a plank in the river with other lads, when he slipped off, and was drowned. The rest were saved by swimming. Three thousand six hundred and forty-one pas sengers landed at the Swan Pier on Sunday last from the Chelsea Iron steamers, independent of those that arrived at the Cadogan pier by other steamers.

O❑ the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, the Court of Chancery Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the New Parochial Itogister Bill, and the Imprisonment for Debt Bill were severally read a third time and passed. The Bills of Exchange Bill was read a third time and passed. INFANT FELONS BILL. Oa the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Infant Felons Bill being read, Mr. LANGDALE suggested, as there were several amendments to be made, that the Noble Lord should withdraw the Bill for the present Sessio He believed there was in it the foundation of a good Bill, but they had not had time to consider it. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Bill having been agreed to by the other House, and having been carried to its present stage, after considerable discussion, he could not consent to its postponement. The Bill was then read a third time. Sir CHARLES GREY moved the following clause, by , A•ay of amendment, after the first clause :—" And be it further enacted, that in every case it shall be a part of tha terms and conditions upon which such care and cus tody shall be assigned, that the infant shall not, during his or her minority, be sent beyond the seas, or out of the jurisdieiion of the said Court of Chancery." Lord J. RUSSELL said that there could be no ob jection to the prohibition of sending children out of the country ; but he would suggest that the words " during the continuance of such care and custody," should be substituted for the words " during his or her minority." Sir C. GREY acquiesced ; and the clause, as amended, was agreed to. Mr. ASHTON YATES moved the insertion of the following words in the first clause, after the word " in fant"—" And that such infant has no parents or natural guardians, or that they arc indisposed or unfit to be en trusted with the care of such infant." Mr. LANGDALE condemned the clause of his Hon. Friend, and the enactments of the Bill generally, as drawing a most inequitable line between the rich and the poor. Mr. BERNAL denied that the Bill deserved the reprobation of his Hon. Friend ; and he defied that Hon. Member to point out a single line in the whole Bill in which a distinction between the rich and the poor was drawn. Mr. BRISCOE wished that this Bill should be postponed to next Session. They bad postponed the Administration of Justice Bill at the request of a poli tical opponent, and they refused to concede the post. ponement of the present Bill to their supporters. The reason why it was pressed forward was, because in a full House it could never pass. The amendment of the Hon. Member for Tynemouth would improve the Bill certainly, but still he doubted the policy of such a compulsory measure as this. His objections would, however, be in a great measure removed, if the Go vernment would consent to the clause of the Hon. Member for Tynemouth. Mr. SHAW supported the Bill. The clause was then read a second. and third time, and ordered to be added to the Bill. Mr. AGLIONBY znoved the following clause be added :—" And be it further enacted, That no fee, re ward, emolument, or gratuity whatsoever, shall be dc manded, taken, or received, by any officer or minister of the said Court of Chancery for any matter or thing done in the said Court in pursuance of this Act ; and that upon the making or opposing of any such applica tion, it shall be lawful for any Judge of the said Court to assign cJunsel learned in the law, and to appoint a clerk or practitioner of the said Court to advise and carry on, or to oppose such application, who are bezeby required to do their duties therein without fee or re ward." if that clause were agreed to, the objection which many gentleman had expressed to the Bill would be obviated. The clause having been read a first time, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he approved of the clause, and was convinced that the profession to which he had the honour of belonging would most heartily concur in carrying it into effect. The clause was ordered to be added to the Bill. Mr. ESTCOURT then moved an amendment, to the effect that no application should be made to the Court of Chancery until after due notice to the father, or testamentary or natural guardian of such infant, if there be any such known to he resident within the juris diction of the said Court. He thought that every pos sible precaution ought to be taken to put the parents or guardians of the child in possession of a knowledge of what was going on. Lord J. RUSSELL opposed the amendment. They ought not to interfere with the discretion of the Lord Chancellor. Lord G. SOMERSET hoped the amendment would be agreed to. The amendment of the Hon. Member for Cockermouth would be useless unless this amend ment were agreed to. The ATTORNEY - GENERAL thought the amendment would be perfectly useless. It would be an insult to the Lord-Chancellor to suppose he could so far forget his duty as not to hear both sides before deciding. Mr. BRISCOE supported the clause. Sir C. GREY said the objection of the Hon. Mem ber for the Univerity of Oxford arose from his ignorance of the practice of the Court of Chancery. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority Mr. ASHTON YATES moved the insertion of the following words in the first clause, line 13, after the word " infant :"—" And that such infant either has no parents or natural guardians, or that they are indisposed or unfit to be entrusted with the care of such infant." Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought they had better not be inserted. . Mr. ASHTON YATES withdrew his amendment. Mr. LANGDALE moved in line 17, after the word " direct," to insert, " regard being always had to the religious creed of such infant, or to that of the parents or surviving patent of such infant." Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought the insertion of the words would give rise to great inconvenience. It was found that persons of all religions worked together in factories without any inconvenience, and if this amendment were agreed to, it ought to prevent any child at any time being apprenticed to a perso d ne er f en a t different religious pe rsuasion to the parent. Mr. LANGDALE maintained that the talting away a child and ed ucatin g it in any religion iff to that of its parents would be a violation of every prin ciple of toleration, and one to which he would never consent.

Mr. AGLIONEYkhen proposed that, according to the understanding e `CA:r ed into last night, the division should now be taken on the amendment which he had proposed last evening, on the motion for going into a Committee of Ways and Means. It had been under stood that the division should be taken without dis cussion. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved the Order of the Day for the Committee of Ways and Means, and Mr. AGL LONBY moved the adjourned debate. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the house divided when there appeared— For Mr. Aglioeby's ameadment I Against it Majorite 3l tneu_s themiliar Schools The Lords' amend t_o _Fa Bid were agreed to. Tee Lords' amendments to the Roscommon Town Lands Iddi were agreed to. Mr. HUME brought u,r the Itcpert of the S lcct Committee on Import Duties, whlch was ordered to be printed. KHIVA—RUSSIA, TURKEY, AND FRANCE. Mr. HUME said it was reported that the Russians had arrived at Khiva in great force, and were advancing on Bokhara, and he wished to know if there was any truth in the repot. Sir JOHN 110BHOUSE did not believe there was one syllable of truth in these reports, and lie would state to the House the reason why. Cspt. Abbott, who had left Khiva at a cl ate subsequent to that on which the , Russians were stated to have arrived there, had arrived at Orenberg, and from Orenberg he had come to St. Petersburgh, accompanied by the Russian General who had had the command of the expedition destined for Khiva. He believed the truth to be that the Russian expedition intended fur Khiva, and which never certainly was nearly so numerous, or in such force, as it had been represented to be, after having advanced four or five marches to the south of the gaspian, fell back and en ' trenched themselves. They subsequently retired upon Orenberg, where the expedition now remained; General Perowsky, however, who was in command of the expe dition, having gone from Orenberg to St. Petersburgh. As the Russians had not reached Khiva, he need not say that he entertained no fear of the Russians reaching Bokhara, and in fact, he did not believe that at the present moment there was a single Russian soldier in Koordistan.—(Cheers.) Mr. HUME was most happy to hear it. He would now cell the attention of the House to the subject of which he had given notice, namely, the pre . sent state of the Eastern question. It would be recol lected that on a former night the Noble Lord had de nied that this country had ever acknowledged Mell, met Ali's pretensions to Syria. The Hon. Gentleman then referred to the despatches to the Consul-General of Egypt, to the letter of Col. Campbell, and to the cor respondence which took place relative to the Euphrates Expedition, with a view of showing that at that period the sovereignty of Mehemet Ali over Syria had been acknowledged. He wished to know from the Noble Lord whether the Convention, alleged to have been concluded between England, Prussia, Austria, and Russia, respecting the settlement of the affairs of Syria, had been signed, and if so, whether there would be any objection to lay a copy of it on the table before the termination of the Session. If that wit& had been re ported was true lie could not conceive a course of policy more disastrous to England.—(Hear, hear.) His objection to the present proceeding was that the British people were called upon to join a holy alliance with - the despots and tyrants of Europe, and had to that object sacrificed tile alliance of the only constitu tional power among them, namely, that of France. It appeared to him that the interference of Lord Ponsonby as the representative of the British nation, had, on more than one occasion, prevented that peace being concluded wish it should be the obj e ct o f t ha t coon try to prese - rve. In joining with Russia the Noble Lord (Palmerston) was promoting the views of that ambitious power, whose object evidently was to divide and weaken Egypt. If the Noble Lord would lay upon the table of the House the despatches of Lord Ponseaby since 1833, he would prove to demonstration the impo litic and un-English course he was pursuing. It trp peered to him that by rejecting the amicable inter ference of France, and throwing of the assis'ance of that ally, by whom peace- had been established in Bel gium and Holland, they were running the risk of being embarked in a most disastrous war. He inferred that from the tone of the public Journals of that country, and from the extensive additions they were making to their naval and military force, and he warned the Noble Lord to pause ere it was too late. If the Treaty to which the Noble Lord had put his seal and signature authorised the landing of 30,000 or 40,000 Russian troops in Asia Minor, for the pur pose of driving the Egyptians out of Syria, and that under the protection of a British fleet, the time would come when the British people would find that they h leagued kith their worst ene mies. If instructions had been sent out to authorise the commencement of hostilities either with Mehemet Ali or with Erance, he hoped the Parliament would be called together to pronounce its opinion upon it, before they had embarked in so fatal and disastrous a contest. The Hon. Member concluded by moving for a copy of the Convention that had been concluded between Eng land, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, for the settlement of the affairs of the East. - Mr. LEADER seconded the motion. Lord PALMERSTON—Sir, no one can find fault with the manner in which the Hon. Member has stated his sentiments ; but I must beg to say, that as strongly as the Honourable Gentleman believes that my policy is promoting the views of Russia, so strongly am I impressed with the belief that it will have pre cisely the contrary effect. I beg, in the first place, to repeat, in the strongest terms, the denial that has been given by my Right Hon. Friend the President of the Board of Control, of the Russian troops having advanced to Khiva. They had advanced some marches, but were obliged, from the snows which rendered the country impassable, to return. Now, with regard to the guarantee which is alleged to have been given by the British Government, that Syria would be secured to, Egypt, T b eg t o re f er him to the papers on the subject which have been laid before Parliament,. and he will find that no such guarantee whatever' has been given.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the orders said to have been sent out to Captain Napier, I. can assure the Hon. Member that the only orders sent to him were to protect British interests. 1 have certainly made some representations to the Egyptian commander, for the purpose of putting a stop to the barbarity and atrocity which was practised there, and I have reason to believe that that reeresentation has had the effect of putting an errd to these atroci ties to a considerable degree.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the Convention to which the MenAer has referred ) •,I—atlmit- that rie - gd - tiations - ate id pie gress, itiniTheive donsiaerably advanced ; but the Hug, Member must be aware that until ratifications have 13 - 41 exchanged by the different powers who are parties thereto, the Convention can be of no force or value. It has never been the practice Tending negotia tions to' lay a Convention before-Parliament : , When the _prOper time arrives I shall halve no objectioa whatever to lay that treaty before the House.---r (th en ) With regard to the allegations of the Hon. Gentleman that our present policy is calculated to bring about a breach with Franco, I beg distinctly to say that it never was the intention of tho British Government lo abandon that alliance, which I believe. to be mainly con ducive to the interests of the two countries, and to the maintenance of the general peace of Europe. Although on the present particular occasion on one part, but an important part of a great European question, there has been a difference of opinion with France, which has pre vented that Power from associating herself for the pur poses of establishing the Convention now in progress, yet I trust, and I speak with a well-grounded hope and con fidence, that this temporary difference of views is not likely to operate upon the general views and feelings of the two countries, and will not shake those recollections which have been founded on the long-enduring and per manent interests of the two countries, and that it will not lead to any alienation, much less to anything like a hostile feeling, between two countries having so many in terests in common.—(Hear, hear.) No endeavour has Lecn wanting on our part to bring about a union of views with Franco, and negotiations have been upwards of twelve months pending on the subject. Between this country and France the same feeling and desire ex ists to maintain the integrity and independence of the Turkish empire under the existing dynasty ; .we never bad an y difference of opinion on that point. France has declared that she considers the mainte nance of the independence of Turkey as essential to the preservation of the general peace of Lumps, and has declared her determination to support it by envy means of influence and action in her power. These are also the intentions of Great Britain, but there is a difference as to the tendency of particular meanures. lam justified, therefore, in saying that a temporary diTerence in details cannot lay . the foundation of any permanent or essential alienation between the twomun tries. On the other hand the policy of the Hon. hem bee for Kilkenny would have illdirectly. a tengeney_to lead to the dismemberment of the. Turkish empire. His by that dismemß6rmen t, the neighbourhood a and endangered by her proximityto object is to establish a third p art of it under separate sovereignty. Being weakened France, not from England, she would look n ecessarily; for Russia, and Ole tendency would be t o p lace t but necessarily and naturallyhterom Sultan in a state ofx t s c o r n fo a r l m s u k p i a p b o l r e t — a r n i o v a t o m such weakness en d dan g er as would cempel hi ok for assista nce from that power—..and we all I li “ no‘ ° v the price a weak power bas to pay to a strong ono for its protection.—( Hear, hear, hear.)
