(Hear, hear.) The bill was then read a second time. CHU P.(11 IEMPOiAI.FI IES (IRELAND) DILL. A message from the Lords brought up the Irish Church Bill, with ceitain aine - admaits, to whied their lordships desired the concurrence of that house. ir. BA NN Dit Ma N .Feseuted a Petition from a place in Scot land, iu fitV our of the i en Hours Factory Bid. The hous3 adjourned at 3 o'clock. The house resumed at 5 o'clock. Lord MoitroA•li wished to know from the •noble lord, the Chancellor of the Exchesn?r, wimi he would be prepaiel to submit the Factory bill in an amended shape to the house ? Lord AuTniur said it had been his intention to have moved the committal or the bill pm forma lust night, but was prevented by the business before the house. lie would, however, endea vour to do so that evening, and in the committee he would state what a:ten:it/tins he proposed to make in the bitl; after which ha shou.tl move that. the bill as amended be printed. As soon as the prints shun.d be upon the table, he 'would move the re committal or the bth, for the purpose of its being discussed. lIIDDLSLX Colonel EVA'Ns wished to know, for the sake of the country at large, whether itwas the intention of government to institute some serious inquiry inio the conduct of the 111idd.ecx magis trates ? _ _ The SoLtct-ron-GENRAL said it was quite impossible for him to give an answer to the question of the hon.•and gallant mem ber: fie was not aware that any corrupt motives were imputed to the magistrates of Aliailiesex toy aLiopling the course which they - had pursue::. • Mr. torso would throw himself upon the indulgence of the house, as the matter. was of great importance to himself and his brodier magistrates.' lie thought that, c o nsidering. the quantity of business which the:magistrates had to go thiougn, they ought not to be judged too severely. There were more piisoners tried in one session in Mid ilesex than in any other county during the whole year; and the sessions occurred once a month. Ile was surprised to see a statement in the newspapers, to the effect that Mr. Coast felt sore at its being supposed that the practice which had been so much condemned by the public had, been foilowl in his time. He teif satisfied that this statement was founded in error, because he recollected that he, soon after he was admitted to the magistracy,presen presented a report to Mr. Coast, complaining of that very practice. He was therefore anxious to rescue the magistrates of Michnesex limn the imputation of having fo.lowed a novel and unprecedented course. He repeated that they had only acted in conformity with a custom wai,:h had descended front their ancestors. (Lou.l daughter.) He admitted lie received a notification through the crier of the court of C.erkemvell, that the judges considered a nets session should be hoiden; but the crier was so very o.d and so bewil dated that he scarcely knew that he was about. He ( Mr. Rotch) had, made it distinct motion for the removal of that xorthy personage from his olliee some time ago, tut fai.ed to carry it. tie, however, did not think he should be justified, wider t!le vircum , tances he ha I just stated, in acting upon the he received from ;-S4ot.te Toit-GEN.t.: . !tA L. said he had already stated, in an swer to trte hon. and gaiiuut Member (Colonel Evans,) that no inquiry' appaared to be neressary into the conduct of the ma gistrates, taut he now tluingut that the hon. and teamed mem ber (Mr. Botch) had made out such a case of misconduct on the part of the magistrates as to render some strung measure imperatively necessary. ( Hear.) IMPRISONMENT FO PERT BILL Sir. R. PEEL hopoTtliat this bi.l would not be postponed be yond the present s..ssion, but that it wouid be prersed forward. The Somcyroa-G._NERAL saidt that in coasequence of the difficulty experienced in arranging some of the machinery of the hi t, it won d he impossible tuat it could be brought forward so soon as might be expected. Sir ti. PEEL would defer his observations as to some of the priacip.es tattle bill, but he hiurie.l had a petition si, , ne,l by a large number of the inhabitants of Westminster, a i .tainst cer tain paris of it; he thought it desirable that it saouid be known to the pub ic, among whom the bid exci:ed much interest, what were tha in:cutions of the honourable and Warned member re specting it. Mr. tl, ME expressed a hope that as the bill was most impor tant, and had been a long time under consideration, it would not be f tut h,r delayed. The SoLiciTolt-iiENEnAL said that the delay arose from the fret which he had state,. The bill was to iniroduee a system, and it would not be effective until every part of that system were arranged. The house then went into a committee on H E ACOLILION OF SLAVERY BILL, and the chairman having read the 25,h cause, the debate on Sir Eardley Wi.mol's motion to reuuce the grant to the Paut era fioai twenty to fifteen millions was iesumed, which was on a division :ost by a majority of SI. On the 40th clause being read, Mr. P. Bux 'ON said he should move to reserve half the sum proposed to be granted to the colonists tin the emancipation of :he slaves should have been completed. Mr. O'CONNELL declared that he had no coati lance in any thing which bad been done by the West India body. Ile did not wish to raise any angry discussion, but was compeiled to give his oppoition..to parrs of the measure. The proposed loan of 1:15,0a),o0J laud been converted iotoa grant of .t.:2O,iXAMAiti, aunt this to ha paid not by the negroes but by the people of England. For this nraqicat transition the painters were only to ue called on to sacritree two hours a-d:iy of the uegrols la bour. In return for this sane symptoms of conci.iation an t co-oireration might at least be expected on the part or the :Vezt India body. Bia no;Air. Burge, the Jamaica delegate, had protested against the tuelisure, as had also Air. But olev, the agent fir rinMarl. Ile coneurrA in the ain,nriment, ing it would be better to pay one-hall of the grant only untit some prosi:ect of the fu.tilincnt of the conditions on the part of the painters was afful Mr. JAmEs'sanl that in spite of slavery, the slaves were vet in a good and comfortable condition, and be believed that if the labouring popmation in Ireland were but one-half so well otr, the le :met" member for Dublin, like Othello, wou.d find his `'occupation gone." His innuence would at o:,ce he cxtin guishect—his power vanish— " And, like C'e baseless fabric of a vis'or, Leave not' 71e 1/ent' behind;" (Loud lau.;hter.) Lord SANroN s a id that the sole object which ought to be con sidei ed was how they stmad best dispose of the 1:20,(KX),t..W which was to be grained to the West India planters. 'the poiut to be attamed wit the total Liboiition of stavery, and therefore it did n•d resolve Lse.fiazo a mere question of economy. With respect to wlat the :craned member foe Dubin had said a'.iout the spirit of coooLiatiou shown by the planters, he ( Lord Sm don) could only say, that he woulu never think of taking a lesson in conci union from the leerucu member. That Iconic:A inch vidua, had ever toe word cooci.ia:ion in his mouth, but never boo he (Lord Soudan) wanessea the semblance of any thing in that teal lied inembee.s condoct which cud to a conciiiation.— (" Hear," and a laugh.) There seemed to be a mistake with regent to the L..-.0,0X,W0. 'I he advance was aiways content p.ated in the nature of a grant to the West India prop, ietors, the question being on.y woether the negioes or the Walsh Par liaaient should pay it. He shout(' be Into to take up any re eliminatory matter, but in iceominenoing conciliation, as the only hkeiy mo„e of bringing the question to a satisfacooy con clusion. tie, however, oeuied that the West India bouv hau shown any symptoms of a want of conciliation or co-operation throughteit Inc whine business. 111 r. O'C'JNN n.t. anti that the nob:e lord had thought proper to attack him because he t oneeivea that such a Colic so would oe popular in that huuse. He had never set himsed• up as the protector of bribers , and corruption. Let the noble lord keep hinise f quiet. ( 4 Order.") Gentleincn ce.led "order" but why did toev not salt "o. der" when hc , was attacked ? (Hear.) The noble iord might have been actuated by the most gouty atm praiseworthy motives in his cetence of the Liverpool freemen, Iv if the investigation had not taken pace upon that subject, one of the grossest scenes of corruption ever heard of would hive remained unknown and unpunished. Let the noble lord take his "conci.iation" ow of that. ( A laugh.) He would say, by way Of parenthesis, that when the note mid had done as nitwit Inc his country as he had (•' Oh. oh !"), he might be better warraned in attackit.ii; o: hers. Loon SA IN Dolsi sald he d,ri not complain of the tone of the hon. and :earned member's remarks, but it should be recollected that the hon. and leained member had. in the hist instance, afticked a I persons spnnetteu with the West India interest.

It wits intended by government that there i,houid be no restriction on Dissenters in the West Ind.es.

Mr. iirotheiton and others from the Commons brought up the Chester I.,:chts Bila—laeau a first tune. The iiishop of Wixcihasmo presented a petition from the parish of Limon, in 6aasex, coLopiaining that. the tithes of the parish, amounting to £. i 0 a ye:Ar, were tee property of a iay nnpropriator, waA per annum to the curate. ;e ,ecoud rcading o thejewish Civti llisa.haties dida hits torus:op spoke at some length, but very-few of• his observations reached toe palmy. We under staid his lordship to say, that if the Roman Catho.ic Relief Bill had not passed, ue shoo.d not have brought forward this mea sure, because such a proceeding would nave looked tike an insult to a numerous body ;if their fellow-Christians. But the disabLities tinder which toe Roman Cathones laboareid naving been removed, no reason existed to prevent him trout taking - this - step. The danger to which the estab.ished church might be exposed by removing the Roman Cathofic disabitities was one or the great argumeots urged against that measure; but in the case of the Jews no such danger was to be apprebenacti. Wherever the Jews had hitherto obtained civil rignts they had become worthy citizens, and he could not see why the same thing should not happen here. A bid hail been passed in 1752 for their reiel; but it was received with great dissatisfactioa by the public, and was repealed soul after. The popular mina since that time had, however, under A one a very grea t alteration, us might he inferred front the number of petitions presented in favour of this hid.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. HOUSE OF COMMONS, THI4ZSDAY, AUGUST 1: The gaLery was opened at a quarter past twelve o'clock. On the motion of Mr. LM'evre, the house resolved itself into committee on the Highways 1311, and preceeued as far as the 2ith c.aase, with the addition of a few verbal amendments, not materially affecting the princip.e of the In answer to an observation from Mr. 11. llandley, Mr. LEYEV.:I; said he had no hope of carrying the :till through during the present session, being very anxious to have every c!ause am mp.y on-issed. ft was his intention, however, to pro= cced with it as far as poreibie. At three o'clock the Chairman (Mr. Bannerman) reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again that day se'rmight. The house resumed at five o'clock. EQUALIZATION OF S, GAR DUTIES. Mr. EWAIIT rose to move a resolution, " that it is just and expedient to admit the sugar and coffee. of our East. Indian possessions (the produce of free labour) on erinai terms with tae sugar and malee of the West Indies anti Mauritius." lie referred to the grant which had outs , last night passed the house, which the present age deemed au act of geneiosiy, which after-times might designate as an act of prodigality ; but under either title, the c.aims of the country for mote un restricted commerce were confirmed by it, and he thought it gave to the subject now before them a peculiar claim to the consideration of Parliament. The princiine that no disadvan tageous distinction of duty should prevail against our eastern colonies was conceded in the case of ceitain articles. Why. should it not be conceded in the case of colonial produce gene raily ? Wheat and flour, the produce of India, came under equai duties with the wheat and flour of Canada. Why should our East India sugar pay 325., white our West India sugar paid 21s. per cwt.? sl'hy. should the coOe of Hiudoostan pay l3d. pee lb. while \Vest Inlian coffee paid oiny bd., and Last India ruin be liable (if introduced) to a (tiny of Ids. per ,tattoo, while West India ruin was admissible at Os. 3.i. ? Ile called the attention of the house to the great difference in the amount of our East and West India printout,. lie turns recently laid before the house showed that last Neat the We.it Indies and Mauritius sent us about 4,060,(Mewt. of sugar, whi.e the bound'ess regions of India sent only about B:•fartAlcvt. So of coffee. The coffee last rear imparted frau) the West [modes amounted to about 2030,0,011 M; white all the coffee imported from our eastern colonies did not amount to half that importation. Was there not a probability that a diminution of duty svouat increase the sopp y Polo India? lie referred to the immense increase in the - sugar production of the I\lintritius since the teduction of the duties on &timid:Ms sugar in 1625. The production in the Mauritius was now nearly fivefold what it was in that year. With regard to co tee, it was a common subject of observation, -that since the dots was towered to 6d. per ill. in 182,1, tile consaininion had immeiisely increased. Bat if there had been no restrienive duty, he (Mr. Ewart ) main tained that the increase wourd have been much rame consider ante. Ihe demand of 'the consumer of this count - ry was pent in aal circumscribed within the narrow dents ot the West supply. Toe consuuitnion Would have been much H.;renter but for this restriction. The consumption of the United States had enormously increased, and far ex ' ceened our own. This he (Mr. Ewart) attributed to the reduction of their duties an'd the freedom of their trade. Almost all the foreign coffee Which we import into this country is nowt re-expo:tell : very little eaters into home consumptmin ' thinerly the greatest portion of our West Indian - coffee was F re-expotied: it DOW is almost the exclusive supp.y of our home mai ken 'a he counti y, he maintained, would use more coflee.if it were more liberaby admi.ted. It did not use moim simply because it could not 'modiste it with facility, not because it old not want it. He maintained that. Biazil coffee and St. Do mingo, of equairy good quality with Jamaica ci fire, could be suppded to ihis country , ine-third cheaper than the coffee of Jnuntica. Ile askid wh'ye they old not give facilities to the ad mission of both the sugar-and the coffee of those countries ? hy, above all, did they not give fain:inks to the admission or those articles from Hindustan ? Ihe connexion of that peat region with this conatry gave it a peculiar c.aiin to every possi ble relief. It min at be said that India cooed not supply us with sugaf or with coffee. It' so, why need our .West India colonis:s :car its competition ? But, if then ..ever was a time when it was expedient to encourage the labour of India, it was now, when that vast country was op, tied to British enterprise, inaus ti y, and science. He (Sir. Ewan) Unimak that it a eultiva thea of sugar and coffee in Intria might be materially Ile drew his hifesence on this subject limn the evidence now on the table of the house. 'Dr. \VaLick, an eminent naturalist, when examined before the levenue sub-couninttee on the af firs of India, was asked, " What are the pyouncts of India most ldemy to be of commerciai ilepottance ?" lie answers, !` 'Sugar, cotton, coffee, silk, indigo, and tobacco." "Do you name them in the ()islet- of their importance?:' He ansa ers, " I place sugar before indigo, because inuigo is limited in con su option; sugar perfectly" anthill:cu." Mr. Gisboine (a most competent witness) says tlntt the sugar-cane of India is as good as that of the West loco's. Mr. Hod Mackenzie (a most tinguished witness) says, " As far as my judgment goes, the a innufaciure or:su g ar appears to be very conducted in It;dia; and the land for he sugar-cane is very abundant." He con ceivedahat the produce of sugar might be extended by a proper mode of imanutactule. Other witnesses (both before the lords and Commons) gave similar evidence. With respect to coffee, it was origina.ly itself an eastern product. The lint cutlet• taken to the \‘' est. Inaies was conveyed by the Dutch from Batavia to Surinam. Mr. Sunivan (in the evidence before the com miitee in le;31) is asked, ". Has the cudivat;on of coffee been introduced among the (Minds ?" Ile answers, "'l'o a very conside, able extent, and it is round to answer extremely Other witnesses gave similar eviuence respeetin , Cchnhettoie. Dr. Walack also sain that the lower provinces of Bengal and the Burmese herb omits were particutuary suited to the growth or coffee. The truth was, that time aome was requisite for the extension of these productions. For this vet's' leason the ought to give immediate facilities for the cultivation of them. But be (Mr. l'aaward) asked for these faci.ities on another ground. Had not the pcopie of Euglaud a right to the best procurable article at the tuwest exchangeable price? Had not our merchants this right, as an exchange for their expons ? our manufactureis, as an exchange for their fabrics? Above all, was not this concession due to the consumer ? If there was one cisease of one commerce more peculiar than any other, it was the d,ffieu.ty of ptocuring returns. It appeared by the petitions before the house, that while we exported • three millions' won]] of. our manufactures to Brazil, the high duties on Brazilian produce enabled us to bring back very littte in return. Foreign merchants and foreign, vessels displaced our own. Why did we not give facidties to the imeor union of the sugar or Siam and China? Se.gor was success fuily eu:tivated in those countries. Sugar refining was ,first - practised by the inhabitants of the , provinee of Fekien e in But,'above nil, he asi;ed why we did not give facilities to the iabour of Innia? It had a paramount claim on our sense of justice as well as on out interested feelings. The simple and primitive manufactures of Hindoostan had been overwhelmed ny toe gigantic machinery of Manchester. '1 lie capital and skill of naigland had suppianted the early and Hide p; oductions of unsophisticated amt. if we had deprived the Flinuoos of the resource of their simple manufacture, ought we to deny them the privitee ' m svnich nature gave them of supplying us with the gmottth of ,heir fetti e and unbountic d. plains? Mr. Ewart) appealed to the Parliament: of this country—he appealed to the govennnent on beha't of India as %Yeti as of England ; and he Uelieved, that though not at fit st entirely successful, he should not finally appeal in vain. Ile concluded by moving the reso .ution. The motion having been seconded, Lord ALI:Hoer considered the motion to be one of that kind which' it :vas desirable the house should not entertain. Ile thonetht it would be most. inexpecient rot the house to come to a oecision on this question at the present lime. It was as yet im issible to foresee what might be the effects of the measure for the abolition of slavery in the West Indies, and therefore lie thought it would he premature for the house to legislate at the present time on the subject intl.:Mut:lA by the hon. member.— In former times, when this qaestion halt been brought tinder the consaleratien of the house, the ease stintt in a very oifferent sidiatien from that in wh ch it teas DOW placed. At those pe riods the sugar of the West Indies eer y Lou d ) excee d e d i n quantity the consump.ion of this country, and he therefore al ways thought that the proprietors of the West Indian colonies were !Wife app . rehensive than they need have been at the ad mission/of fologn sugar: The pi ice of their sugar in this coon ti d. pen d c d ou this p i ke which sugar bore ou the continent ; and therefore they had no effectual monopoly in this country. The case had trite, however, assumed a very nifferent appearance. In consequence of the operation of the Slavery Apolition Bill, there might he a great labing off ire the production of sugar, and it woual not be vise to mgislate on this question until the effect of that measure was seen. The h n. member might, per haps, say that his mown' went merely to &Clare the expediency of equalizing the duties on sugar arid coffee; tut I:e (Lora At- Moro need mit tea the hon. gontieman, that if ihe house car ricet his motion, it ()unlit to be foiiowed ley sonic p;se.ical effect, tail that must be an adelation in the emsiing 'lle trus ed, therefore, that the house wou.d nut, by aequiescing in the mo• tien, bind ilself at the present moment to any alteration of the lie did not mean to give any opinion or patel e e hinise.l is any way on this question ; anti not uniting to meet Ms mo tion with a negative, the only model, ft him of deming widi it was by moving the previeit question.

'l he hon. member then asked wave to bring in a bili to regmate the aections of magistrates iu corporate towns and Citie, and oh served, in conclusion, that it wou;d at least fie seen that he was sim:ere in his desire for the success Of his object, as he in a manner himself sacrificed his own private interests for the ad vantage of his cousti.ucnts and the pubic. Lord At TnouP said that his object in moving for a committee this year pas to iay the foundation for such ameasui a. A com mission was now appointed to jogai, e into the existing nature of corporations.,and he hoped that their inquiries would be made and conauded before the next s,ssion of ['ornament. Nri man could be mote convinced than he was of the necessity of making a reforni in corporations, and he should be sorry to remain a member of any government who would not attempt it. Mr. EN N Y said, that after What had fallen - lioth the noble lord, he would consent to withdraw his motion. CORPORATION OF DUBLIN Mr. O'Ct.NNELL then inmed for leave to bring in a bill for the better regulation of the corporation of Dubin. That cor poration had within itsef all the elements of good government, and none of its leading features required to he aitered. His objection to it was, that it was not the corporation of Dublin at alt, but a small mouopoly of a particutar party and a particular persuasion. His remedy was to make it ready the corporation of Duhliu. The hun. and learned gent.eman taco entered into a review of the hitory of the corporation of Dublin, for the pui . pose of showing how its election, nom being originally po pular, had contiT.—d to hise that character entirely. Mr. LlT'i r , would not object to the introduction of this bid, nu the Ot- understanding that he meiciy proposed to suhririt his views to the cousiaeration of Parliament, and did nut intend to press the bid further this session. lie admitted that it was necessary to make such a refoim in the corporation of Dublin as woubl secure for it the respect and sympathy of other parts of Ireiand. - In saying toil, he be , rged to be under s'o.al as giving no opinion upon the details of this On the question being put, the mourn was agreed to. Mr. ()TUN NELL pOSi some other motions which stood in his name (we did not hear to what day.) Mr. IlAtcomn postponed his motion on the subject of the Engiish poor laws (we tinders:mai) sine die. Mr. LITTLETON obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the act 10th Geo. IV, for consolidating and amending the sta tues in Ireland relating to ogences against the person.

DWELLING-1101 SE ROBBERY BILL, Lord SUFFIELD, in moving alit the report of this bill be re ceived, condemned, in strong terms, the slide of the judicature on the sub.): et of robbery in dwelling-houses.

(Hear, hear.) The noble lord concuded by moving that the amendments of the lli!(IS be read a second time Mr. O'CoNNELL did not think the lords had made the bill mach worse thin it was before they itTeived it.

Lord Awrooue said that it was necessary for the sake of the West India proprietors that the grant of the sum should he de cided upon, a.though the power of raising it shou.d be left in the hands of Parliament. Mr. IlkAzuti.s proposed that instead of the proposition of the noble imd, this mom:di - fruit should be wiopted bt: the house, that tt whereas Parliament had granted i1'2,4000,0j0 as a com pensation to the slave proprietors in the West Indies, be it enacted that the Lords of the 'Treasury shall nut part with any poi lion of that sum, except upon sii h conditions and under such terms as Par.ianac.-nt shalt sanction." Ile was suiplised that the nolye lord should have the slightest doubt as to the course which he ought now to follow. After a few woros from Mr. Hume, Lord AlthoTp, Mr. , S. Rice, Mr. P.

In conciusion tia movea that the bid be read a second time that day six. aionth.. Sir Id. Wimmuctu By seconded the amendment. Ills objec tion to the Bank was that it was a great jobber in pub.ie secu rities, and he apprehended that under the increased power now conferred upon it that corporation would regulate its issues of paper money, not in reference to the wants of the country, but with a view to the extent of its own engagements. Mr. M. Ayrwooo regretted that the measure had not been confined to a continuance of the present privi.eges of the B.ink, instead Of etharging tnese.privileges and confirming anaexteal ing the monopwy by making its notes a legal teuaer. If the measure had been confined to the limits referred to, it would have met with general concurrence ; _the only question that could arise being as to the sum which the Bank should be re quired to pay for a renewal of its privileges. Sir R. Pr.ca said though he was of optuion that an advanta geous bargain had not - been effected wi.h the bank, yet he had heard no arguments to induce him to wit - 11110,d his support to the motion fur the second reading of this bill. The bit., however, contained one clause to the priuciple of which he must object, —name.y, that which enacted that bank of Eugasul notes should be deemed a legal tender in the transactions of this coun try. He not only objected to the principle or that clause, but also to the mole, the time. and the pare in whtch it was to be elftcte:i. As to the time, he must say that midnight on the 21 of August was not the proper period for entering upon so im portant a subject. ‘Vith respect to p.uce, he would add, that iii the present bid was not fitting; :tad as to toe. in ale, not one reason was stated thr dest.royiag the princip.e of the coovertibitity of paper; neither was it condescondea to urge any grounas on which that destathdion was to be warranted or maintained. lie oajeeted entirely now to enter 14)1)11 this slip pery path, from which he was satisliea it would he impossiale to retrace the steps which it was proposed in this respect co take.

ILe begged to ask the noble lord the Chamellor of the Exche quer wuether, if an individual haa a demand upon another for E 5 25., the limit could discharge the demand . Ulmer the bill with a note and 2s, _ . . Lord Al. - coon P was understood to signify his assent. Sir H. PLI,A..--- . Th6n, in such a case what provision was there in the bill to prevent a counzry banker from sending forth notes for £5 55., which woad be a comp.ete dcpartu.e from the pre sent system ? and as the country-banker could pay his note with a £5 Bank of England note and 55., it would never be ne cessary Co: him to be possessed of any baliion or go.d, in order to be en 3 I.)ed to satisfy the deMands of .his customers. The bill,was read a second . time, and orderyd to becommitted on Tuesday Morning. SUPPLY—MILITIA ESTIMATES. The house resolved itself into a committee of suppiy. Mr. ELLICE said that the estimates he had to pfopose had been prepared and recommended to the houSe by . a committee, of which the hon. member far Mitldksx was a member. awl with the utmost care they had found it itopossibe to make a larger reduction. He proposed a vote of 1:z-13,550. for charges of the milltiu.—Agreed to. ASSESSED TAXES' REDUCTION RILL. The house then resolved itself into a coannittee'on the Asses sed Taxes' Reduction Bid. Mr. Seal N G ICE S'rdti, that as this subject wOhld be discussed at a future time, he should not enter into the detai.s of this bill, which it was necessary to pass prep'iratory to the other measure, He should move a Clause to g.ve teihef to licensed victuallers, the whole of whom woual be reaered to the extent of half their house duty; and another cl.►use to place the horses employed by market-gardeners on the saute tooting as horres employcd iri husbandry. In answer to questions fro.n hon. members, the right hon: gent:man said .that the bid would repeal the tax on bakers' servents and certain persons emp.oyeo in•counting-houses. No relief was granted in the case of houses used us schools, it being found impossible to frame an enactment that would effect the object in view, since the having a singe pupil for a sing.e day might be made a ground of exemption.

LI 7' E 1?A Bell and Co., and Simpkin and Marshall have com menced with tile present month the first number of The Musical Cyclop(edia, which is to be devoted to the col lection, preservation, and extension of our most popu lar and national songs and airs. The work is hand somely got up, and as the price is only one shilling, we have no hesitation in recommending it to our readers ; for, says their motto, taken from Beatie— " Is there a heart that music cannot melt? Alas ! how is that ragged heart loriorn! Is there, who ne'er ti►ose mystic transports felt Ofsontude and melancholy born ?" Fraser has just published a neat little volume of poems, the longest and most interesting of which is enti tled Barbadoes, and relates chiefly: to the scenery, the manners, and the historical incidents of that island. The author is a Mr; M. J. Chapman, a native of the colony, and we readily believe him when he asserts, that "in all that relates to the local objects, and to the to of society-,the author has scrupulously adhered to the literal truth." We regret that. we are unable to do justice to his longer poem, from which tile following sna oh, taken almost at random, convoys but a very feeble specimen : Who are those wretches of the lead-like hue, That seem some plague-ship's horror-haunted crow - - Those net.% eless children, wo-begone, and palo, Whose limbs seem wire-hung, and whose sinews fail? Our Ell .land claims those wretches for her own— Tier boast is waste of life in towns o'ergrown ; The happier negro claims her fostering care, While r own children vent their loud despair; And misery haunts - the cities of the plain, And saints and sinners urge the toil of gain. Maligned Las Casas ! thine was not the crime That tore the negro from his native clime. - The horrid trail{ from love of geld began— Thou wert the Italian's friend, and friend of man! The dying captives, heaped upon the sea, Their curse to nation's left, but not to thee. Friend of the lowly, patron of the weak ! Thy gentle voice was raised—thy accents meek— Thelndian race to rescue and to save; Thy heart confesied a brother in the slave, Mourned fur his anguish, sorrowed for his pain,— Son of the Cross I thou didst not live in vain. Millions of nutbrown Indians yet survive, To bless the father by whose care they live ; The mother to her child shall teach thy name, And hill and valley keep thy stainless fame: The English serf, allured by hope of gain, Here toiled and found his golden hopes were vain ; Then, dying, homeward turned his failing eye, And murmured " England!" with his latest sigh. Unused to slivery, and unapt for toil, The Indian savage tilled the virgin soil ; But in his fetters still for freedom sighed, And lived unwilling, and rejoicin.; died. Long since the Indian slave and E:igFsh serf Slept their last sleep beneath the verdant turf ; Then Libya's sons supplied their vacant place, Bound by the curse entailed upon their race. From Congo's swamps, and wide-extended plains — From Coromantee, where the demon reigns, 'Who speaks in thunder and who shakes the sky, And scares the nations with his evil eye— From Whicidaw, and Angola, and the coast Whose streams and barren sands the gold-dust boast— rrmn Ebo,Vrid Mondingo, and the Fl:tht Of Minnah, came the eaptived negro-train , They changed their country, but their life the same— In wide-spread Libya freedom is a name. Yet mourned they long their own dear village-tree, Tlr'ir loved and pleasant home of infancy ; The orphaned cradle, and the widowed bed ; The sacred ground that kept their happy dead: And oft, their exile and their grief to cud, They, wilful, sought in death a guide and friend; Through the free ether to o'erleap the main, And see their rice fields and their loved again. But, now the race has vanished from the lara Whose hopes lie buried in far Guinea's sand ; Now that a hri7,l?tcr faith their children warms, hopeselelights them in a thousand forms; Now that brute force and cruelty are gone, Their hearths are sacred and their store their own; Now that the. brand, the torture, and the chain, The sharp wild shriek of agonithig, pain, The so'•bing accents:that in vain implore, And slavery's blotch, are seen and heard no more— Change but the name—hunt freedom o'er the waves, Search through the earth for happier than the slaves Vain is the' search ! and when their minds shall be Free as their persons, will the > laves be free. Some of the notes which the author has appended to Borbadoes are full of instruction. We give the following as a sample: One cannot help regretting the extermination of this harm less and amusing fault,v. 'lnc negroes had the most extrava gant notions on the subject of their sagacity.

THE iIL4CMZINES. Fraver's nu rn . )er for Au Tact. presents us with an agree able variety of well arranged ar!idles, all of which are calculated to sustain the high r,‘: ation of this periodi cal. In the " Galidi.y of Li - ,e`atv Characters" there is a spirited etching. of that satirical sl:etcher, Cruiekshanks, who is ske;ched sketching, se teed ap.)n Cie heal of a beer barrel, catching inspiration from the scenes presented to him in a pot-house, and consigning the, ideas of the nr ment to immortality on the crown of •his hat. "Th° Hells in L.)olon," by the anther of "Tile Stho drnaster's Experience in Ncmgate" is, we fear, a too faithful tore of the elf,tes of ttrat.b.e.sotting. vice, gambling, which the author has painted in all its chforinity. "N rtes on Italian Scenery an 1 Manners, Ne. 2.;" 'Celebrated als of the 19th Century, No. 2;" and " Na , ional R.:O nauty, Na. 3," are the productions of master hands. "The Last Duel I had a Hind in," by Ensign O'Denoghtie," c6ntains a humorous account of the comforts of a yap age by steam ; from which we present our readers with the following extract:— `` A pretty boat th tt, sir," said Mr. Fitzgerai,d to me, as WI leant over taa bulwark together. " Though we a'Juse Situathan, he moiels, rigs, and salts nis crarc in seanunlike style. surety , oug it to know th tt shin.

" And who are you Fitzgerald, of the Chanticleer! Remember Basseterre Roads !" " Ay,.ay ! As soon as I Caw put the barkic in a snug berth I'll come on board of you." . " Do, do ! like a good fellow," answered Fitzgerald. Ths Yankee captain waved his speaking-tiumpet,l my compan:on retained the compliment with his - hat, and away went the Con gress tnerriy before the wind, to liobler's Point, at the bight of the bay. " fiat gentleman and I fought a duel on shore at Guada loupe," said Fitzgerald, about some nonsene or another," when I was third lieutenant of the Chanticleer, and he was third of the American fti , rate Constitution. Next day I fell overboard, what he was in a boat alungsiue our ship, ly lug in Basseterre litrids, and should have been line picking for the sharks it he hail not dashed after and saved me. He now commands, and partly owns that trader—a money-making concern, I fancy. He'il hoard us berme two hours are run out." Iu about that time we perceived a whale-boat, with four oars t pulling along in-shore. When ato east of us, she stretched across,'in spite of the sea, and soon 'cause under out. quar ter. Another moment, a nd th e Yankee skipper stood on our decks- - - a shrewd, sensitAe-looking 'man, ct about eight-and-twenty years of age ; stout, weather-beaten, and possessing an air of independence equal to a ny Mrs. Troeope ever saw at Cincinati. Wime he and his friend Fitzgeraitt were greeting each other most warmly, the steward brou g ht use . a request from a yentle man be.ow, to speak to him immediatey on pressing business. I found this anxious person in the captain's cabin; it was Captain O'Hoolahawn, not quite sea-sick, not quite sober, nor perfect.y sure whether it was to-daY or to-morrow. S:ill very sore about his !lowan - , and not a little so about the region of his mouth and nose ; he applied somelbrown paper steeped in whis ky to alleviate the pain and restore a healthy appearance to the latter; and he had sent forme—lleaven knows why—to pie! scribe Mformer. r the He was determined to fight; right 'or wrong, fight he must, and tight he wouai—immediately, it not sooner. He had been .used ‘• barbarously and bastely;" had been " kicked and culled, and hand-dragged, and the woman he was going to be Married to laughing at him, may be." Flesh and bioad—at least the flesh and b.ood of this lieutenant Of the Ki.kenny mining, for he was only captain by courtesy-- . ! coilid not bear it; and he must revenge . his bleeding honour or die. 'I he man vho had used him so vilely was a rival—rather a dangerous one too—ciaimant to the good graces of Miss Potts and Nliss PottS'sifortune of nine thousand pounds—" all the corn Aiavpt, by Eitus !" So lie modestly requested my kindness woual solar stretch itself as to carry a message to Mr. Fitz gerald, simply . to go on shore and fight it out. As I anticipated souse fun trout this proposed rencontre, and at any rate was de termined to prevent serious mischief, I cordially placed my ser vices and pis.ols at his disposal. He thanked me . ,_with . ,4 tetlT ill his Uninju.ed eye, squeezeu my hand most teivently, , hoped he might have a n oppoitunity of .erving rue in the sArn e way soon; and, in a mistake, took a sup of the whisky, instead of apptying it to his nose. When I acquainted MI% Fitzgerald with the hostile wishes of the valiant captain, he was first inclined to doubt the seriousness or - nirniessage, and then to - give O'Lloolah a wn a thrashing for . his insolence. 'He' caLed his •American 'friend t..) his assistancei who h id taken the othar side of the deck, while I h'eld him in private converse ; and, staiing his case, requested his attendance to the field of hattle as a sccotid. "As a second !" said Dawson. " I reckon it would not 1)4 quite so pleasant to be laid by the heels in this old country, if you were to pink the fellow. as I should be for helping a hand: The girl you say is heautirul—" - - "As an angel!" said Fitzgerald. "And has nine thousand pounds," said I. "'That is progal e ssing towards perfection," said Dawson.-- - "Nos, instead Of g oing to fight this chap, suppose you and your, aneei, with nine 1110u:ea] pounds. weie to top your boom to gether for t'other side the Atlantic.
