Tho Marquis of SALISBURY said that the proposed alteration wculd, in fact, give the Sccretry cf State the power of alLerir, the sentences of the JwJges. The sur geon only possessed that power. because the law never in tended to punish a man in that situation to the injury of his health. The Marquis of NORMANBY said the power wee not proposed to be given exclusively to the Secretary of State, but to the Visiting Justices, by whom, in the majority of cases, it would be exercised. The Noble Baror. would re collect that there was a great practical it justice ii the course of infliction at the present moment, in consequence of the inequality of those prison regulations. Lord ELLE NB OR OUG H— Why is not that inequa lity remedied ? The Marquis of NORMANBY—.It was stated in this House repeatedly last year that it was impossible, in con sequence of the state in which the gaols were, to int...totem this equality for some sears to come, but while the in equality continued great practical injustice must be the result.

Yesterday an old soldier, named James Gorman, a native of Limerick, was brought up by Inspector Russell, A division, who attends at Buckingham Palace, for having on the preceding evening thrown a petition, addressed to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, into the carriage of her Majesty, returning from a ride in Hyde Park. It appeared from the evidence that the unfortunate man had been dismissed from the army, and that he had come over to this country with the hope of being admitted into Chelsea Hospital. Mr. HALL, the sitting Magistrate, treated him with kindness, and he was ultimately conveyed to the work house, preparatory to his removal to Ireland. We read in the Morning Chronicle of last Monday, when speaking of Ireland, " The bill for her tota disfranchisement is in committee. The furnace is being heated to forge the chains to bind her, and perhaps the sword to - cu t her down." By a strange coincidence with this concluding portion of the paragraph, the 6th Dragoon Guards arrived in Liverpool on the very same day on their way to Ireland I " What regiment do these fine looking fellows belong to?" said a Tory friend of ours to another gentleman of the same political tenets. The answer was a strange one, but a mean ing ore, " I suppose," lie replied, " they are the Parliament_ at y Commissioners carrying over the copy of Lord Stanley' s Bid to Ireland." This was a joke, but it has an ominou s sound of truth with it. Should that hateful measure pass, more parliamentary commissioners of the same stamp will have to follow this advanced guard, and, perhaps, be all required to check the volcano which is again heaving and threatening in that unhappy country.—• Liverpool Albion. - - GRABBLIN G What is the process of grab. bling ?"

Lord HATH ERTON presented a petition from certain Poor Law Guardians in the county of Stafford, expressing their approbation of the Poor-law Amendment Act, and their acknow ledgment of the services they had received from the Commissioners ; and suggesting several provisions for insertion in the Amendment Bill now before Parlia ment, which they prayed might be incorporated in it.

Earl FITZ WILLIAM presented petitions from the town of Kinross, from Inverness, from the Weslyan Methodists of Halifax, and from places in Fife, Perth, and Cumberland, praying for an alteration in the Corn-laws. CLAIMS OF THE BRITISH LEGION. The Marquis of LONDONDERRIF;isVediOask the Noble Viscount opposite if there were any hopes that the negotiations on the subject of the claims of the British Legion would be brought to a satisfactory and speedy termination. If the Noble Viscount could hold. out to him such an expectation, he would postpone the motion of which he had given notice of an address to her Majesty on the subject for Thursday next. Lord MELBOURNE said that the r;gociations were still going on, and he trusted they would be brought to a satisfactory conclusion. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY then said that he would postpone his motion from Thursday next till a later period. Lord RAYLEIGH presented petitions from Ray leigh, and from. various places in Essex, against any alteration in the Corn-laws. The Noble Lord also pre sented a petition from Essex in favour of Church Ex tension. CHURCH INTRUSION (SCOTLAND). The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented peti tions from various places in Scotland against the intrusion of Ministers in the Scottish Church. The Noble Marquis proceeded to say that the excitement prevailing on that subject in Scotland was already so strong, as not to re quire that anything should be said or done in the House or elsewhere, which could tend to aggravate the feelings of the people of Scotland. He should say that if that people, attached as they were to all the principles of their Presbyterian Church, con sidered that by the decision of the Civil Judicature of the country their rights had been infringed on, they would only conscientiously discharge their duty in endea vouring to obtain an alteration of the law. The pastors of that Church would, in his opinion, have deserted their obligations, and would not fulfil their duties, if they did not endeavour to maintain the Ecclesiastical Juris diction of their Church when they thought it had been assailed. The Earl of ABERDEEN was at a loss to un derstand what was the meaning of the Noble Mar quis in the observations he had offered to the House. The Noble Marquis had said that the people of Scot land had a right to call for an alteration of the law which they complained of. Undoubtedly they had. —(Hear, hear.") But when the Noble Marquis (Breadaibane) had said that they were justified in cox.- plaining of an entrench:lcent on their rights, and a viola tion of them, he (the Earl of Aberdeen) should say that no such violation had taken place. The law of the land had been justly and equitably pronounced, and the clergy of Scotland could not lawfully resist it. The hundreds of petiti.ms which had been presented against Church Intrusion, left it to the wisdom of Par liament to devise the means of effecting their objects. 1, my Lords (continued the Noble Earl), profess myself as favourable to Non-Intrusion as any of those petitioners, but then it is the Non-Intrusion s anctioned by the law and supported by the constitution of the Church ; and give me leave to say, that while the Church of Scot land is receiving the support of the State she must obey the law—as a Church of Christ she may exist without the law, but as a National Church, and maintained by the law, she must obey the law.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Earl concluded by saying that he deferred any further discussion on the subject till the whole proceed ings of the General Assembly were before them. The Earl of CAMPERDO WN said he entirely differed from the Noble Marquis who had presented these petitions, and he must express his strong con. viction that the Church of Scotland was at present in direct opposition to the decree of the Courts of Law to which she herself had appealed, and that no body of men in this empire ought to be allowed to bid defiance to the judicial authorities ; and he must also express his conviction--attached as he was to the Church of Scotland—the course she was now pursuing was calculated more than anything else to advance the views of those who were for a separation of Church and State, a consummation which he most earnestly deprecated. The Bill of the Noble Earl was mainly but a confirmation of the old law, and he deeply regretted the position in which the Assembly, opposing that law, had placed themselves. The Marquis of BREA DAL BA NE said the General Assembly could not justly be designated as rebels. Lord BROUGHAM said he felt the impropriety of continuing a conversation of this nature, but he rose to remark upon a word which had fallen from his Noble Friend who had just sat down. He had not applied the term ‘. rebel" to the Church of Scotland, and in the present excited state of that minority, for minority he believed them who were in opposition to the law, he could not allow it to go forth that he bad used such a term, and he must add that it was by no means true that the majority of the Church was opposed to the law—it was only the majority of the Assembly—(Hear) R P S ll T U r i !se T t ß o A ca D ll E th'e attention of Lord LYND S H U U L their Lordships to a subject of considerable import ance. Their Lordships had no doubt read the papers which had been laid upon the table regarding the Sulphur Monopoly in Sicily, and their Lordships were perhaps surprised to find no mention of a copy of the treaty which had been negotiated at the close of the last year by Mr. Macgregor with the Sicilian Govern ment, and that no copies had been furnished of the cor respondence between that gentleman and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. At the time the Noble Viscount proposed to lay these papers on the table of the House, he stated that he should prod uce among bring g oble Viscount the question them the c o py o f the treaty ; but he afterwards stat e d that he would not produce it, but he did not assign any reason for that change in his min d ; a nd he (Lord Lynd hurst) before b et e l thought ilause , n t hiserd order duty thattothe bri might have an opportunity of stating to their Lordships the reasons for his change of determination, and the groun d s on which he refused the production of the papers in question. Very possibly it might he said that that treaty had no relation to the question of the sulphur monopoly ; but even if that were so, the treaty itself, and the correspondence relating to it, were documents of so much importance that he should be entitled to move for their production. It could not, however, be said with truth that they did not connect themselves with the transactions in question. The two matters were negotiated together—they were mixed up toge ther while the negotiations were carried on, and they were concluded by the same individual ; and that which was absolutely conclusive with respect to their connec tion with the present question was, that in that treaty so negotiated, and the terms of which wore settled between the parties , it was ex p r essly stipulated that all monopolies, except some of the Royal monopo lies, including those of salt , tobacco, and gunpowder, should terminate thatthey d o d r i iagi not form e an essential part o f t h ese documents, and that they were required to give their Lordships full information with respect to tb state of these transactions. But not only was the t rea t y not laid up o n th e t a ble, but no part of the correspondence relating to it, although it was quite obvious that many letters must hare passed between Mr. M'Gregor and Lord Palmerston on the subject. Among the letters which were produced, and which were merely extracts, it would appear that the utmost care and caution had been used to cut out and exclude every thing relating to the treaty, or having the most remote reference to it. But it might be said that this treaty and these papers could not he produced without inconvenience to the public service. It was manifest to any persons who con sidered the subject, that it was quite impo_sible for them to form a correct opinion with respect to the position :of this country with regard to Naples, and in particular with regard to the conduct of the Government of this country, with respect to these trans actions, without:the production of these documents ; and if it were said that these documents could not be produced without public inconvenience, the answer was, that on all occasions of this description if full information could not be communicated, information should be entirely withheld ; because if all in formation were withheld they were placed in this situation, they were compelled to suspend their judgment with res pect to the conduct of the Government; but to give them only partial information, was to lead them into rash and possibly incorrect conclusions on subjects of the most vital interest to the country. If it were necessary.to cite au thorities on this, he could cite one of the highest character in the opinion of the Noble Viscount. He referred to a remarkable speech delivered in the other House, by a Noble Lord, in the year 1810, when he took that same line of argument he (Lord Lyndhurst) was now pursuing, and stated on that occasion, precisely what he had now stated. " When the time arrived the Government thought information might be communicated without it being in. cumbent to give such papers as should really elicit the transactions to which they relate, and afford such explana tion as should enable Parliament to receive sound and correct information as to the course pursued, they should be furnished ; but to 'give imperfect in formation was to make a mockery of Parliament under pretence of submitting to its jurisdiction." The Noble Lord was then in opposition, and then of 'course he was for obtaining the most extensive information on every subject respecting Foreign politics, though now be found it convenient to restr i ct i t as much as possible. Lord LANSDOWNE—It must have been in some other year. Lard L YNDHURST—Oh yes, it was on the 10th of March, 1830. Their Lordships were placed in a situation not a little singular; but on this occasion only, but on all similar occasions, it almost always happened in communi cating official information, that it was much less extensive than that communicated to the rest of the public through the ordinary channels of intelligence. But in this case all knew the history of the transaction. The terms of the treaty were sanctioned by Mr. M'Gregor on the one side, and by the agents of the Sicilian Government on the other. Those terms were entirely approved of, and the ratification was looked for with impatience by the British merchants. But they were disap pointed, and they fund at last that the duties which were to have been abolished if the treaty had been carried into effect were enforced by new regulations. When he said that the terms of the treaty were known and approved of by the British merchants trading to Sicily, he said that which was notorious. Tho differential duties in favour of Naplct, amounting to 30 or 40 per cent., were to be abo lished by a certain day, named in the treaty. It was far ther stipulated to reduce the existing duties 10 per cent., and to reduce the duty on British colonial produce, whether imported into _the Sicilian dominions direct from our colonies, or from Great Britain, to one-half. The Sicilian merchants were satisfied with Mr. M'Gregor's conduct in bringing about the treaty. But not only was the ratification desired by the British merchants, but also by the landowners in Sicily ; and it appeared from the letter of Mr. Kennedy to Lord Palmerston, that the people of Sicily were all most desirous of the treaty, which was also wished for by the Neapolitan Go vernment itself.—( Hear, hear.) In November last all the terms of the treaty were settled ; but the ratificatiobs had not been exchanged up to the present day. He had heard various absurd reasons assigned, as to why the British Government did not assent to the ratifi cation. But he found ono reason suggested, in the documents which had been laid upon the table ; and it appeared to him to be the probable one, although it also appeared to be the best possible reason for the ratification, It was suggested that there was good reason for not rati fying a treaty with a Government which did not act upon treaties that already existed. But he apprehended that was a reason why this treaty ought to have been ratified. It was true that the monopoly granted by the Neapolitan Government was an infraction of the treaty of 1816. But the Government of Naples denied the infraction ; and the treaty in question settl e d t h e di spute d po i nt by putting an end to the monopoly. Aft er th a t t h e on l y question which would have remained between the two Governments was the amount of compensation which should be paid to those who were injured by the violation of the former treaty. The fact was that this country was most unfortu. nate in the superintendence of its commercial affairs. Let them mark the history of the trade. In 1837 the monopoly had been first established on the part of the Government. But that monopoly was a direct infraction of the treaty of 1816. It was productive of great and incalcuable injury to our commercial interests in Sicily. That was asserted on the part of the Government of England. But the monopoly had been persevered in, the injury had been continued, and up to this moment no redress had been 03- tained, nor was there a likelihood of obtaining any. Was he not right, then, in complaining of the supineness of the Government of this country with respect to those proceedings? He would not enter into any details advanced in the public papers on the subject, of the losses sustained in this coun try. He would, however, refer to a document laid on the table of the House, which gave a short and striking view of the subject. They would find it:stated, on the authority of Mr. M'Gregor, who appeared to have paid the greatest attention to the subject, that the effect of the continuance of the monopoly would be to exclude British commerce alto gether from Sicily. He stated that a single house in Glasgow, the house of Tennent and Co., would be under the necessity of importing for their own use, and of payin g , in conse quence of the monopoly, an a dditi ona l sum of upward s of 50,0001. Such was the extent of the evil to our com merce, and the manufacturing interests of this coun try. Ile would allude to another passage of the letter of Mr. M'Gregor, in which that gentleman stated that the British merchants had a quantity of sulphur on hand, which they could not export unless by paying a duty of 84s. Bd. a ton, in consequence of the monopoly. That would be utter ruin to them, and there was therefore an immense quantity of sulphur lying in dif ferent parts, which would be useless so long as the mono poly continued in force. The present state o f things of fered in consequence nothing but prospects of ruin to cur merchants, instead of their former flourishing condition. The British merchants, in their memorial to the Board of Trade, had stated that by reason of this monopoly, the trade in Sicily had been entirely suspended. They had resided there in daily and constant hope—which, however, had been daily and constantly frustrated—that, by the in tervention of the British Government, their losses and wrongs would be redressed. Now, what was the state of things now ? No measure of any rigour had been taken, until it was apprehended that Parliament would interfere; that is: not till January in the present year—the letter of Lord Palmerston to Mr. Kennedy. What had been the result ? Why, a mediation at Paris, 1,200 miles from Sicily l —three weeks or a month being required for an ex change of couriers. By this course the object of the monopolists had been completely accomplished, that object being delay. The monopoly had not been sus pended during the negotiation. The mediation was not stopped. Still did the monopoly go on ; each day it lasted bringing fresh losses on our merchants. Why, the mono polists and the Neapolitan Government had in January said that six months snore of the monopoly would answer their purpose. In June, that period would he arrived at. Thus the whole aim and design of the mono polists had been advanced by the negligence of the Go vernment, the markets of Europe would be filled by sul phur at the monopolists' prices, our policy would excite the laughter, the derision, and the scorn of all nations ; it would be seen that our own folly had completely fur thered and completed the views of our rivals, and the lan guage of the French and Sicilians was, " We have gained a great triumph over the English— , Avec Monsieur M' Gregor ;' " and soon they would be able to add a yet prouder boast, and say, " Avec Messieurs Melbourne et Palmerston."—(Laughter.) He would cite another ex tract from the same speech of singular eloquence, as well as the poetical quotation with which it was con cluded and adorned, it being strikingly applicable to the present state of affairs.—(Hear.) " Negotia tions in this matter have been undertaken, and have ended in acknowledged nothings, (precisely the case with the sulphur monopoly.) The Government has eluded the wishes of the subject (precisely the case with the sulphur monopoly) and we hear on all sides, from innu merable towns, a dismal universal hiss ; the sound of public scorn." He quoted the whole of this passage as much more strong and less objectionable than any thing he could urge on this subject. Ile had touched very generally on matters connected with the motion he seas about to make, and the papers he desired should be laid upen the table as the time would shortly come when it would deserve and receive more minute investigation. Ile would, therefore, conclude by moving that an humble address be presented to her Mejesty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to give directions to be laid before that House a copy of the Treaty with the Neapolitan Government in 1830, and of the correspondence between Lord Palmerston ald Mr. M'Gregor, relating thereto. Lord MELBOURNE said that perhaps their Lord ships would remember when last this question was brought forward by the Noble and Learned Lord, he ( Lord Mel bourne) had given an account of those p r accedinn' ' s of Mr. M'Gregor at Naples, which the Noble Lord called negotiations, awl of that document which he denumivated throughout the whole of his speech as a treaty, and in those ex pressions—negotiation and treaty—lay a good deal of the fallacy of the Noble Lord's argumeet. On that occasion he (Lord Melbourne) showed there was no d•ssire whatever for c oncealment on the part, of her Nlajety's Government, and when the time arrived to which the Noble and Learned Lord alluded in his speech, that would lie the time to go more fully into those matters, and into a more ample and deliberate examination of them ; but be begged to say at tile present moment that he could feel theic would be no difficulty in being aisle to convince their Lordships these documents were not of such a nature and character as ought to be produced, and more particu larly that, if they were such as ought to be produced at any time, that unquestionably they ought not to be produced under the present circumstances , and in the present, state of iiffairs between this country and Naples. On no ac count whatever ought those papers, in his opinion, to be produced o at all, and unquestionably not at a time whets ne go • t r i l tions were pending on the whole matter at issue be- t he two countries. Their Lordships were aware t ar s'c a' etr fur some years, as the Noble Lord had stated, there had been negotiations between this country and Naples o n the subject of the treaty of 1816, and that we were always desirous for an alteration it that treaty, with respect to the duty on shipping, arid on the part of the Neapolitans for an abatement of the preference we had with respect to the amount of duty to other nations ; and in the course of those negotiations the Neapolitan Govern- , ment promised the revision of the whole of their tariff —of the whole duty on their exports and imports, and in the new treaty engaged that this treaty should be made to de pend on the continuance of the amount of duties so settled in that tariff. It was for that purpose alone Mr. M‘Gre gor was sent to Naples—for the mere purpose of adopting the duty between the two countries, and settling the tariff. He entered into a negotiation with Prince Cassarol on the subject, and certainly did frame notes with respect to the negotiation, which each signed and transmitted borne ; but that document could in no manner be called a treaty, as Mr. M'Gregor had no power to enter into a treaty, nor any instructions as to the manner in which such treaty should be framed; and, consequently, although theso notes were not framed on sound principles, and well fitted to form the basis of a treaty, yet in them were many fundamental objections, which rendered it impossible that document could be ratified as a treaty, in the shape in which it was framed. For instance, when the Noble Lord stated that all monopolies were abolished by an article in that document, he was com. pletely mistaken, for it did not affect the sulphur mono poly. It stated that British commerce should not in fu Lure be fettered by monopolies, and those which existed at that time were put on a completely new footing. It abandoned the ground under which they were taken, and on which they stood, and all claims on the part of those who had suffered by the proceedings of the Sicilian Go vernment, to indemnity ; for under ainew treaty they would not have been valid, and therefore they would have no claim to indemnity. It was confined wholly to future ne gotiations, which was necessarily all that could be effected by those notes which had been signed by Prince Cassarol and Mr. 11.Gregor.—(Hear, hear.) The only thing to be done then was to frame, with all ex pedition, a new treaty upon these notes, at the same time supplying whatever was defective in them—amend ing what was vicious, and retrenching what was super fluous, and sending them out to the Neapolitan Govern ment. That was the course that was taken, but it was evidently perfectly impossible--it was not consistent with their duty or interests, or indeed was it possible in any way to have ratified these notes as a treaty in the shape in which they then stood. The only light in which they could be considered was as a part of the negotiations, and ac cording to all Parliamentry usage, it would be in the highest degree improper to produce them while the nego tiations were pending, as they undoubtedly now were. The negotiation was, at the present moment, pending, and under the mediation of the French Government. The rest of the notes a ere merely amendments and renewals of the treaty of 1816. The treaty, although it had been suspended by the sulphur monopoly question, was still a pending negotiation, and as soon as that matter had ter minated would be again renewed, and therefore, on the simple grounds that it was not wise or judicious on general principles to produce such a correspondence, he trusted most confidently that their Lordships would not support the motion of hie Noble and Learned Friend if he insisted on the production of these papers. He admitted that if the Government could produce information it should be produced, but that they had already done. The ob ject they hail in v i e w was to vindicate their conduct with respect to Naples, until there had been a theided refusal on the part of the Neapolitan Government to abolish the sulphur monopoly.: From the moment the mediation of France was accepted, a new era was introduced and a new state of things arose, and he contended that it was not wise or prudent to embarrass in any way that negotiation by the production 6f papers relating to that part of the transactions. That was the short ground on which he should refuse his assent to the motion. Their Lerdships, he trusted, would be of opinion that it would be far more judicious to wait until the whole matter had terminated, and then these papers could be produced without detri ment to the public service. The Noble and Learned Lord, not content with moving for the production of these papers, had spoken with great contempt and disapproba tion of the course that had been pursued by her Majesty's Government. He had said that there was great delay and great neglect, and that the interests of the merchants had been compromised and injured. If their Lordships would look at the cause of the delay, they would find that it had arisen from the conduct of the Neapolitan Government. They had more than once promised to put an end to the monopoly, and under such circumstances it would hardly have been wise or prudent for the British Go vernment to have adopted what his Noble and Learned Friend called a more decisive course, but which he would call a more violent proceeding. He believed the negotiations were going on with as great speed as possible—there had been no suspension of the proceedings, and he had ne reason to think that any de lay would take place. fie admitted that while the trade was under suspension, considerable inconvenience and loss must result ; but he believed that no good would come of discussing these points. Upon these plain Parliamentary grounds he trusted their Lordships would not compel the production of these papers. Lord LYNDHURST begged to ask what treaty it was the Noble Viscount undertook to lay upon the table. Was it the imperfect treaty, or the one that had been after wards drawn up at home, founded upon these notes ? Viscount MEL BOURNE mea.,t these imperfect notes of Mr. MiGregor ; but upon consideration he had decided otherivise, and taken the earliest opportunity of apprising the Noble and Learned Lord. Lord LYNDHURST said, as the negotiations were pending, be would not be justified in pressing for the pro duction of the treaty, and with regal d to the correspond ence, as their Lordships might be of opinion that it formed part of the same transaction, he would not press it. The motion was then withdrawn. PRISON DISCIPLINE AMENDMENT. On the Order of the Day for going into Committee on the amendments of the Commons on the Prison Discipline Bill, The Marquis of NORMANBY said there was one amendment which be wished to bring under the considera tion of their Lordships. It referred to the classification of persons confined for misdemeanours and felonies. The amendment had been proposed to meet specific cases that had lately occurred, at the same time leaving a discretion to the visiting justices. He was inclined to do that merely as a temporary measure, because he was not satisfied that this discretion should be permanently left to the justices. He did not think that the relaxation of the prison rules should be confined merely to the case of political libels, but that others of the same class also should be included. He was anxious that no delay should take place, if their Lordships were inclined to sanction the amendment, be cause certainly there were some cases at present in which it would be desirable to apply it. He had shown the amendment to his Noble and Learned Fricod the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench, and he had given it his sanction. The amendment was to the effect that when any person should be confined in any prison, gaol, bridewell, penitentiary, or house of correction, and that it should appear to the Visiting Justices, or her Ma jesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, that there were good grounds why the rules of such prison should be relaxed in his favour, it should be lawful for such Visiting Justices to relax such rules or regulations. The Marquis of SALISBURY said the intention of the House of Commons was to alter the Bill expressly to meet certain cases which had lately occurred. In point of fact, the proposition of the Noble Marquis was that they should agree to the amendment of the House of Commons, for the express purpose of dealing with the par ticular cases of individuals now in prison. He did not think that was a fair way of treating the question, because if the Noble Marquis thought that these parties were en titled to any indulgence he had the power of exercising the clemency of the Crown. He would appeal to the discretion of the House, whether it was right to make this great alteration in our policy in this way. The form of putting in the amendments rendered it almost impossible to understand them. He, therefore, hoped the Noble Marquis would postpone them to another opportunity. Lord L YNDHURST would suggest that the amended Bill be printed, that the amendments proposed by the Noble Marquis should also be printed, in order to give their Lordships time to consider the matter. The Marquis of NORMANBY said that if delay were asked for in order to have the amendments printed, of course he could not object to it. There was one mistake, however, into which the Noble Marquis had fallen, which he was desirous of correcting. He had not stated that it was his intention to remit the sentences of the persons re ferred to—he had not stated that such was his view in pro posing the amendment. The ground on which he proposed it wiz, that he was of opinion it was very desirable that some discretion should be vested in the Justices to act ac cording to the circumstances of each case, without con fining that discretion to any particular cases. He did not think delay necessary, but if it were asked on those grounds, of course he could not refuse it. The Marquis of SALISBURY was only anxious their Lordships should have an opportunity of considering the amendments. The Earl of WARWICK considered it dangerous to make alterations in Bills like those proposed by these amendments. It was very bad policy to legislate for par ticular cases. With regard to some of the cases alluded to, and which had come under his own observation, he would take upon himself to say that never had individuals been batter treated in gaol than those individuals had been. They all knew how the clamour about these cases bad been got up, and the other House asked their Lordships to le. gislate under the impression produced by those cases. He thought delay was desirable—at all events they ought to have the amendments printed, and in the mean time their Lordships could consider the situation in which those people were placed. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that although there might be souse occasional convenienc e in the proposed ar rangement, yet it was so objectionable in principle that he could hardly see how any Legislative Assembly could as sent to it. The Noble Marquis himself said that he did not entirely approve of it, and that he looked forward to some greater elteration in the law on this subject. He would, therefore, suggest that the Noble Marquis should t ike a delay of a few days, and then bring forward, not these amendments, which he himself admitted w ere objec tionable, b u t th ose a l terations of which lie approved. Lord PORTM AN said that all that his Noble Friend asked for the Secretary of State and the Visiting Justices was the same power as that now possessed by the surgeon of the gaol in epecial cases. As the law was at present, if a person were committed to prison for attempting to promote a breach of the peace, he would be liable to be subjected to all the severities of prison discipline inflicted on persons convicted of nosdemeanonre, uh!ess there were some poser of relaxation given. Now, although he would not attempt to justify a provocation to a breach of the peace, yet he thought their Lordships could net be very desirous that every person conv icted of suc h an offence should be subjected to the same discipline as all other prisoners. Mr. LABOLICHERE moved the omission of the 3Sth clause, which exempted all vessels belonging to freemen of Exeter from dues in that port. It was not a new principle, but was one often acted upon by tile Board of Tiede before—they were anxious to do away with such exclusive pris lieges as far as possible, and took advantage of any parties applying to Parliament for further powers. He considered it his duty to do so, holding the office he was entrusted with. He thought the Bill a very proper one, but he trusted the House would agree to his motion. Sir W. FOLLETT felt satisfied that when the House was in possession of the facts of the case they would not assent to the proposition of the Right Hon. Gentleman. The Town Council of Exeter w er e entitled, by immemorial usage and prescription, to l evy certain duties on all goods imported into the port of Exeter. The origin of that custom was so remote that it could not be traced. The freemen were the only par ties excepted from these duties, and that was the case not only in Exeter, but in other corporate towns. When the Municipal Bill was before the House of Coalitions, the rights and privileges of the freemen came under discussion, and it was decided that th ey should not be deprived of those rights which they enjoyed by prescription. That principle wag sanctioned also by the other House of Parlia ment. He complained under these circumstances of the attempt that was now made to deprive the freemen of these privileges, and he h op ,d the House would not sanction the proposition of tire Right Hon. Gent. The main object of the Bill was not the importation of any new duties, but the re -ad justment cf those which the Corporation was already entitled to levy. He should, therefore, oppose the amendment of the Right lion. Gent. Mr. DI V ETT supported the Bill in its present shape, Mr. LABOUCIjERE said, so far from these ex ceptions being of no injury to the comrnerciiil interest, there was no more fertile source of complaint aulo ng them. lie felt it his duty to give the dame every op. position in his power.

The petitioners stated it to be their opinion that the proposed Bill was calculated to aggravate the evils it professed to remedy, that it would violate:the consciences of many individuals, and would end by subverting the establishment, and praying the house not to consent to its passing into a law. Sir P. POLLOCK presented a petition from Hunt. indon against any public support to the College of Maynooth. CHURCH EXTENSION.

CANADA CLERGY RESERVES BILL. Mr. PAKINGTON said he observed with great surprise that the second reading of this Bill, brought in last night, was fixed for Thursday. He was sorry that the Noble Lord, the Seeretary for the Colonies, was not in his place ; but perhaps some Member of the Go vernment would be able to inform him whether the Bill would actually come on so soon. Sir JAMES GRAHAM exclaimed—lmpossible! Mr. FOX MAULE said it was only fixed for Thursday in a hurry, but there was no intention of CH EXTENSION. bringiig it on e. ri Mr. HAVES begged to ask the Hon.
