Ttns day there was considerable heaviness in the West Indi i sugar market, so limited were the sales that they are wort h enumerating, and it is difficult to q uote prices, in- \ deed they are little better than nominal: four boards yel lowthat were sold at 80s to 84s 6d for mid to flue were full Is lower than on this day week ; the extreme dullness which exists is to be attributed to the intermediate sup plies proving larger than had been expected, and the falling off in the deliveries during the last three weeks, also the unwillingness of the merchants to submit to any material reduction. There was no public sale. The stock of British Plantation Sugar is now 15,231, hhds and tiles, which is 16,558 less than last year at the same period. REFINED.—To-day the market for Refined voods was very dull; and the nearest quotation for Standard Lumps was 108 s.

They will be constantly amenable to public opinion for the conduct of their courts. and how much soever they may be di.posed to adhere to old forms, and to protect abuses profitable to professional men, but injurious to public justice, and ruinous to litigants, they will not dare to pre serve either the one or the other. It is a die inction which ought never to be lost sight of, that while the judges may be most safely trusted as regards their awards, they may not be so safely trusted as to the details of farms and pro cess. It is well, however, that they should have the re form of these things committed to them, as they are best acquainted with the subject, and must prosecute the task under the strict superintendence of Parliament and of the public. the third reading should take place now, and :then he would propose an amendment, on which the debwe might be adjourned. With regard to the case of Mr. Childs, the Judges at Norwich were county practitioners; but their practice seemed to be a more merciful one than the Lon- den practice. Mr. BERNAL thought his Right Hnn. Friend had been rather harshly treated by the Hon. Member for Finsbury. Was he, in a case of this sort , to wait in order to see what was the Norwich, the Manchester, or the Li. verpoel practice? His Right Hon. Friend could not have acted otherwise than he did, and there did not rest the shadow of an imputation upon him on account of his con duct in this matter. The Bill was then read a third time. The and passed.LinenMaf ac turers (Ireland) Bill was read a third time, The Order of the Day for receiving the Report on the Infant Felons Bill having been read, Mr. EWA RT felt bound to offer a few remarks on the Bill. He believed hose who had introduced the Bill were actuated by the most humane motives ; but be thought it extremely pernicious in principle. The interposition of the Court of Chancery bad nothing to do with the crime of the _child.; it referred to the conduct of the parents, and their capability of bringing up the child in a moral course. It appeared to him that the interposition (if necessary at all) should take place before the crime was committed instead of afterwards. Where a represen tation was made that the parents were bringing up their child in crime, that, in his opinion, would form a good ground for the interference of the Court of Chancery. He regretted that a Bill of so much importance should be passed at so late a period of the Session, and in'a compa retively empty house, when so many Hon. Members. who w, re likely to give expression to their sentiments upon that measure had left town. Even now, if it was inie.ided to pass the Bill, he thought. it would be advisable to place some control over the power of the Lord Chancellor, by causing a reference to be made in the first instance to the Secretary of State for the Home Department. Mr. BERNAL gave every credit to the Hon. Member for the motives tuat had actuated him, but he thought the suggestion which he had just thrown out would be ex tremely injudicious, and would not effect the objects he had in view. He could not see how the apptication was to be made to the Secretary of State, or what practicable result it would effect. Sir C. BURRELL supported the Bill, Mr. LANGDALE thought the Bill bad been very carelessly drawn up, and many parts of it were objection able. He thought the Bill gave a monstrous power to the Lord Chancellor, and he should therefore use every means which the forms of the House allowed to prevent it passing into a law. Under the Bill the child of a Jew might be brought up as a Christian in spite of the wishes of its parents. He would find it his duty to oppose the Bill in a future stage. Mr. HA WES supported the MI. The objections to t h e came rather late, and applied more to the whole penal system of the country than to the Bill. Mr. E STC 0 URT opposed the Bill. It was cruel not only to the children but to the parents, who had no option as to whether their children should be taken from them or not. There was not even a provision fur informing the parents of what was going on. These children had been tried and convicted for felony, and had suffered the punish ment for their crimes, why then were they to have this further punishment inflicted on them ? He did nut think it right to leave to the Lord Chancellor, or to any other person, the power of taking a child from its parent. He thought the Hon. Gentleman had acted most unwisely in drawing the attentie n of the House to the religious in struction of the children ; there was this difference between the cases of the children and of the conviets ii a ld l r lu e d n e h d a t d o u b a y . d the Hon. Member for Lambeth, that the convicts were un dergoinge,e theirs. n the i r sentence, and that these children Sir C. GREY bad to propose as an amendment a eleuse prohibiting the sending the infant during its mino rity beyond the seas without the consent of the Lord Chancellor. He believed that this amendment was ap proved of by her Majesty's Government. He thought it would obviate many of the objections which bad been urged against this Bill. He earnestly begged the Nicol ber for Knaresborough not to persevere in his intention of taking every means in his power to oppose this Bill, and hoped he would reconsider his determination. He thought his Hon. Fiend the Member for Wigan had taken too narrow a view of the subject. 'lnc fact was, the Bill was a BM to provide, for infant felons on their quitting prison.—( Hear, hesr.) There was a novelty in mixing up the Lord Chancellor with criminal ' proceedings, and if the power had been given to a Judge who tried the child, instead of to the Chancellor, he thought there would not have been so many objections to it. Its ~bject was in fact to substitute education for imprisonment or transportation. With the amendment which he now proposed, he thought the Bill was a very valuable one, and was deserving the support of the House. Mr. BRISCOE suggested that the best course the House could adopt was to postpone the measure till the eext Session of Parliament. Every one must admit that sue Bill had been very hastily drawn up, and no discussion ead taken place upon its principles when any considerable :lumber of Msmbers were present. Under these circum stances he trusted the Bill would be postponed. lied they cot already postponed the Administration of Justice and opposed the Bill with regard to the abolition of capital flinishinents, on the ground of the lateness of the Session. The main objection he had taken to t :e measure was that it was an undue interference with parental authority and the liberty of the subject. He should therefore join the Hon. Member for Knaresborough in offering every opposi ion in his power to th.• passing of the 13111. Mr. FOX MAULE said the present was the third or fourth time the principle of the Bill had been diseuFsed in that House, and notwithstanding at that had beets said by the Honourable Member satin had last addressed ti e House, he would take upon himself vie respons of passing it during the present Session.—( Hear. beer.) file object of the .3111 was that the mining which had .ed the child into the conim.ssion of crime should not be continued. Tnere was nu objection to make this Bill a -object of periodical legislation. The Bill for the tegula eou of prisons it. Scotland ; which wan of equally grave a nature, tires a Bill of only ten months' duration. The principal measure was new only so far as it was compul sory; for the children, who were its objects, were already Taken into the schools, when the parents consented; and it was found that the greatest benefits were derived as re arded the children themselves, where the parents did not interfere or take them away. Believing th t the Bill was calculated to do great good, he was anxious that it op is inion Ell, b e T ea c u o s u e l d it not had admit bee n precluded from at all re htt ttoHpunasosurawbiltehoGutentdleemiaayn. of its beneficial di u Granville Somerset) the principle was 'ti r ':ra o l:rctuini h :Hgrgi character, t sdto m ependta: shbNatLitaheeohAdenari without N d i pbesVr: G h i r e sai r cLn a hwdi dpL w : i reEha s tey h ho i tefSao d annOtn Right too important for him to allow it to pass without stat 4 ng his objections to it. In one respect alone it was highly objectionable, if there were no other objection to it. Its effect would be to extend the punishment of all infants ueyond the period which the law at present adjudged to their offences. An infant who had once been convicted for an o ff nee would have the record of that conviction fastened upon him for the lest of his days ; and would con tinue in a state of complete coercion as regarded his present employment up to the age of tvvelity.one, and ell the c prosp • icts of his life afterwards. He firmly believed that no house of one hundred Members would pass such a Bill. He should, therefore, use every means in his power of throwing it out. —( Hear.) Mr. AGLIONBY asked the Hon. Secretary (Mr. F. Maule) whether a clause to the effect that due regard should be had to the religious profession of the parents, might not be introduced on the third reading, so is to meet the objection of the Honourable Mem tier for Knaresborough? He took the opportunity of aenying that the Bill would have the effect of continuing the punishment of the children beyond the terms of their legal sentence. On the contrary, he con ceived it would confer upon them the greatest blessings. It would rescue them from the contamination of bad example, and 'rem the temptations to which they were before exposed, and would confer on them the blessings of 'ducation, physical, moral, and religious.

Our good friends of Paris are a mercurial race, and would die of puro inanition if subjected to the monotony of common lite and labour as here, and in other sober and industrious communities. A new sensation is to them a primary necessity of every day existence, and the salons would be tristes, if not deserted, if the people who deal in politics—qui font de la politique—and congregate in those high places, had no special excite ment wherew th to season bons bons and give zest to eau sucre. And if such be the ordinary tenour of their ways, we cannot wonder that such SR event as a political caper of Lord Palmerston, and his fickle exchange of an old love fir a new one, should set all Paris in a blaze and abso•b the public mind, to the exclusion of all other feelings and feuds. Fairly to speak, however, they have solid cause now for asto nishment, indignation, ...rid complaint, for of the fresh qua druple fantasy of the Foreign office, displacing its more antiquated sister with so little of form and etiquette, not the slightest forewarning appears to have been aff )rderl, and but for an unlicensed cum-pondeat of our contemporary, the Post, Parliament might have separated without the least suspicion of the sword temi , ered at Da mascus, which the Foreign Secretary had ingeniously contrived to suspend by a hair, Damocles like, over the destinies of the nation, and the Parisians, in like manner, would still have remained in happy ignorance of impending fate. That concen.ptuous rupture of existing relations, and utter disregard of the commonest courtesies of good breeding and neighbourly feeling un the one side, should beget distrust and defiance on the other, need not there fore create surprise ; the miracls would have been, on the contrary, that a high spirited, gallant, and mighty nation should be found crouching tamely to unmerited insult, and the inth;lent assumption of airs of superiority. a \ IMPERIAL; PARLIAMENT. (THIS EcSNING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. ROYAL ASSENT. The House met to-day at a Quarter before Four" &Clock, when the Royal Assent was given by Commission to the following Bills: The Regency Bill, Soap Duties Bill, Assessed Taxes Composition Bill, Parliamentary Burghs Bill, Poor law Commission Continuance B;II, Insane Prisoners Bill, West India Relief Bill, East India Mutiny Bill, Blenheim Pa lam Bill, Turnpike Trusts Continuance Bill, the Turnpike Roads Bill, Caledonian Canal Bill, Drainage of Estates Bill, Entailed Estates ( Scotland) Bill, Prisons ( Ireland) Bill, Turnpike Roads (Ireland) Bill, Newgate Gaul (Dublin, Bill, Clyde Navigation and Harbour Bill, Liver. pool ( Herculaneum) Docks Bill, H irrington Docks Bill, Ha.eford Improvement Bill, Weaver Churches Bill, Mon mouthshire Iron and Coal Company's Bill, Douglas Estate Bill, Chambers's Estate Bill, Whalley's Estate Bill, Scarborough's Estate bill, and Martyn's Estate Bill. The Commissioners were—the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Normanby, the Earl of Clarendon, and the Earl of Shaftesbury. Their Lordship', then adjourned during pleasure. Their Lordships met again at Five o'Clock. Lord DA CRP:. presented a petition from Bishops Stort ford against idolatory in India. The Militia Ballot Suspension Sill was reud a second time rnd ordered to be committed. ADMIRALTY COURTS' BILL. Lord PORTMAN moved the third reading of the Ad miralty Courts' Bill. Lord 13 RO UG H did not rise for the purpose of opposing the third reedit)g of the Bill, but merely to draw r th.,ir Lordship's attention •to the fact that, though in the present Bill they prohibited the Judge of the Admiralty Court from sitting in Par liament, yet in the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill they allowed the Recorder of Dublin, to sit in the Hausa of Commons. The Noble Lord thought that ought not to be permitted, and he trusted that at an early period of the next Session a measure wouid be brought farward to exclude all judicial' officers from sitting in the House of Commons. After a few observations from Lord LYNDHURST, the Bill was read a third time and passed. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Mr. 13itstriat, and other Members of the House of Com mons brought up the Consolidated Fund Bill, the Ex chequer Bilis Bill, the 1 3 , , , , Age Bell, the Dublin Police Bill, and one or two othor Bills. On the motion of Viscount DUNCANNON the Metro polis Improvempnts Buil, the Sugar Duties Bill, the Court Houses (Ireland) Bill, and the Insolvent Debtors (India) Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. NEW SOUTH WALES BILL. Viscount DUNCANNON moved the second reading oi the Nee South \Yaks Van Dtematt's Laud Bill. The Bishop of EXETER, seeing the Noble Marquis. the Secretary for the Home Department, in his place, would beg leave to present a petition gravely affJetieg the interests of morality and religion, and the character of the Noble Marius himself. In consequence of what had passed in this House in reference to the horrible system o; Socialism, committees of respectable persons were formed in various parts cf the country, for the purpose of cheekine the progress of blasphemous and immoral societies. Fla': one ut those Committees, the petition was forwarded t, him, which he had NOW to present. The Committee wa ' composed of two Wesleyan ministers, two solicitors, fit , inhabitants of Manchester, acid four other laymen. He referred to the case of one Abel Heywood, who was pro secuted for a blasphemous libel to this effect—" What wretched stuff the Bible is. Would it not be a disgrace to a race of ourang outangs, much less to men ? It is a I upon God and insult to man ; and every copy of it in existence ought to be burned." Teis man man was pro teeuted, but at the trial be was persuded (at the avowed instance of the Government) to plead guilty; whereupon the Queen's Counsel declined to press for a punishment, and the defendaet was liberated upon osti affidavit, that discontinued and had ordered his servants to discon tinue the sale of the libel. But the fact was that he had immediately resumed the sale of blas phemous libels, with which he (the Bishop of Exeter) would not insult the ears of their Lordships, and the fact of his having done so had been communicated to the Noble . Marquis by one of the petitioners. The interest of one of the Members for Manchester, and also of one of the Mem bers for Salford, had been exerted with the Noble Marquis in favour of this man, who was not only a vender but all habitual vender of bl .sphemous publications. He did nut say that those gentlemen weio aware of the inipiou, character ot the man, but the Noble Mai quis was so, anu it was highly reprehensible for ti.c person who was charged ail) the guardianship of the peace and morals of the com munity, to allow parliamentary interest to influence him in such a case as this. The petition prayed their Lordships to institute an inquiry into the facts of this case. The Marquis of NORMANBY was most anxious to take the earliest opportunity of giving the fullest explana tion of his conduct in the case referred to, but before he did so he begged leave to repudiate with contempt, con sistently with his respect for the station of Right Rev. Prelate the insinuation he had thrown out that he had been operated upon ie the discnarge of his duty by the applica tion of three Members of Parliament. 1 rue, three gentle. men had presented petitions on the subject of Abel Heywood, but, as their Lordships must well know, they had merely done as any, the Members of Parliament who were entrusted with the presentation of petitions to the Home-office would have done. He had stated to them that he could give them no answer then, as the case of Heywoou was under consideration, and he would act in a great measure upon the Report that would be made to him. Previously to that time he had received a memo rial faom Hey wood, and he had transmitted it to Sir Charles Snaw, fur the purpose of having the facts therein contained investigated. The defendant stated that a prosecution had been instituted against hin, her having published Harleues Letters to the Clergy of all denominations, which he bad 4lterwards discovered contained a blasphemous libel. The Right Hon. Prelate had very unwarrantably contradicted a statement made tat him when he had ocotured to set him right as to the time at which the prose cution was instituted, but it appeared the Right lionour..ble Prelate was not justified by the fact in so doing. The petitioner stated that he was a general publisher for the sale of all d..- scriptions of books except those of an immoral of obscene character, and that he bad sold five different pamphlets, all condemnatory of the publication in question and he distinctly stated that he was not aware of the libellous character of the letters until the evening which was asserted. He further stated that he had, since then, wholly refrained from the sale of those publications. Sir C. She% corroborated the main facts in Heywood's memo dal and his representations bad great weight with him (the Marquis of Nurmanby) in the cause he had adopted. He said that Heywood had materially assisted him in pre.. serving the peace of the town of Manchester during the previous winter, at a time of great political excitement and alarm. (LEFT SPEAKING) HOUSE OF COMMONS. (Continued from our Fiist Edition.) For the Report 4O Against it Majority —3s The Bill was then ordered to be read a third time to morrow.

Mr. BRISOCE was extremely sorry to see such a spirit manifested by the churchwardens and perish of Chetms• tord, and he believed that among many members of the Church of England there existed a sincere desire to see Church-rates abolished. He thought the justice of the ewe would be satisfied by the churchwarduns receiving the rate, and cansenting to Mr Thorogood's dibcherge. In at,sw , r to M E WART, ii;TLUSIIINGTON saidhe did not like to make any alteration in tLe all in the absence of his Noble Friend, but he thought the following proviso would suit the justice of the case, that in cases of Church-rate the Judge should be entitled to discharge the prisoner on the payment of the rates and costs into Court. Lord G. SOMERSET disapproved highly of the con turnacidts conduct of John Thorogood ; but conceiving the amount of punishment he had received to be sufficient, he thought he ought now to be discharged. Had the Bill of Ira Hen. and Learned Friend been permitted to proceed, this difficulty would not have arisen.

He bad reason to believe that the children employed in of Limerick, the district had been for the last eighteen these various departments greatly exceeded the entire I months past in a most disturbed state. Robberies of number employed in the mills and factories, upon which houses for obtaining arms were greatly on the increase, subject the House had already legislated. In the tobacco he killing of horses, the turning up of land, and the trade the children were put to work at the age of seven posting of Rockite notices, were also common. In con years, and were generally employed for twelve hours per s equen c e of these outrages a meeting of Magistrates day. In the bleaching trade the children were employed was held at the City of Limerick. The meeting was not at eleven years of age, and they frequently labouied all of a sectarian character. They subscribed the money for night and day for two or three days. In the potteries the the purpose of discovering the authors of these crimes. children were employed at an early age for thirteen Mr. Massey, a Conservative, was in the chair.

A Magistrate at that ni.etimr., details, as the results were almost invariably the same. Mr. T Langford, made a statement as to the state of It was the custom, in many instances, for parents to bor row m )tey upon the labour of their children, and the crime to the district. The truth of that statement was ma-ter had a right to the labour of the child until the loan I eclat, ted bi Mr. Redmond, the stipendiary Mahistrate, wa; r, paid ; so that here was a system of legalized sl,, and 1 y the officers of police. The night before he bad very going on in this country. One of his correspondents I said :time of the policemen had arrested certain men in h.,d stated to him, that the system was one which was de. arms. Mr. Redmond said that now was their time, Lucy structive alike to the temporal and spiritual welfare of the children. The next subject to which he would draw their attention was calico printiog—children of six years of age were employed in this trade, and some of them went to w.e k at 12 at night—they worked 12 hours and took their meals in the workshop, the atmosphere of which was loaded with puiionous gases from the effluvia of the colours. ' His object in drawing the attention of the House to this subject was to place these children within reach of what Dr. Chalmers would call an aggressive movement of edu cation. Continental nations were following our example, and it would not do for us now to fall behind them in the work of humanity, and be last where we were first. From Report of the French CommisFion it appeared that there was no morality existing among the chitchen employedin manufactur,s, and from the Report of the Recruiting De partment it appeared that the number of persons rejected as incapable front the manufacturing districts doubled that of those rejected from the agricultural districts; and he had nn doubt that if a similar inquiry should be instituted in this country, the res.. It would still be more deplorable. (LEFT SPZAKING.) had subscribed their money, and let them reward the I police well and they would be still more active. Was it upon the reports of such officers as this, that the character of such men as Mr. Langford was assailsd ? ► Why did Mr. Sub-Inspector Jackson pass over all the resident gentry, to send tor Mr. Redmond on this occasion ? The Noble Marquis had said that there were no instructions to Mr. Redmond on the case. Why that paper had been produced by Mr. Redmond at that meeting, on the threat of the Magistrates to ad journ the meeting. There was no excuse for refusing it on the ground that it was a law-officer's opinion ; it was no such thing. He believed that the law-officers had been misled by Mr. Jackson. Mr. Langford had acted on a warrant, which had been issued for a year, and had been reprimanded in consequence. There was nothing in the Act stating the term during which such warrant had been in force, and it had always been the custom to suffer these warrants to be in force until the country was tranquillized. The conduct of the Irish Government in reprimanding Mr. Langford was most inexcusable. No warrant was wanting to make any search for arms, when a Magistrate had re ceived sworn informations. He certainly, when lie re ceived information of the concealment of arms, did not wait to receive the signature of another Magistrate ; but this was not needed ; and be ought, instead of having been reprimanded, to have received the thanks, as he had already those of his brother Magistrates, and of the High Sheriff of the county. In searching the house of Michael Madgan, Mr. Langford was only ac tuated by the purest motives. Who was this Madgan ? Mr. Langford found the arms in his house—he com mitted him—he was tried at the assizes, convicted, found guilty, and had sentence of death recorded against him. This person was consigned to everlasting slavery for the term of his natural lite, and it was for having brought him to justice that Mr. Langford was treated as be had been by the Government. About this time Mr. Lang ford received other important information That in the house of a man named Whelan he would find arms, documents, and two of Whelan's sons, who, it was said, had been participators in an attack upon a house for arms. He searched the house, found the papers, and arrested the sons. The Temperance Society of Limerick felt aggrieved at the discovery of theca papers, as likely to induce a belief that there existed some connection between the Temperance and the Ribbon Societies. A representation was made to the Government, requesting an investigation, and stating their belief that the documents were forged. The Go vernment desired Mr. Langford to institute an investi gation. Mr. Langford, in the exercise of a wise dis cretion, thinking that Wayland, who had always borne an excellent character, had suffered sufficiently in having his two sons committed, refused to drag him to trial or investigation, as it would be impossible to bring the knowledge of these papers home to him. He knew some persons might make light of those papers, but those who had attended to the Com mittee of last year would kno w that there was something serious meant by those curious sounding words. Mr. Langford showed the papers to Mr. Re,!mond, who laughed at them, and wrote to the Government suggest ing that the inquiry should be extended into other mat ters, and to the finding of a blunderbuss by Mr. Leng. ford the day before the meeting of the Magistrates, thereby insinuating that the whole was a fabrication, and making common cause with the Temperance socie ties ; and also that, in consequence otthe political cha racter the affair bad assumed, Counsel should he Bent down to preside. What he meant by political character he knew not. The fact was that Mr. Redmond finding he was unable to perform his duty, wished to prevent Mr. Langford from doicg his by obtaining the name of Mr. Langford's secret informant. The investigation was held and the Temperance Society made the most. miserable failure. Mr. Redmond, however, said be would make it all right in his report to the Govern ment, and he therein states his opinion that there were no Riband offences in that country, and that the out rages were purely agrarian. This report seemed to have produced an effect on the Irish Government, for on the 22. d June Mr. M‘Donald writes to Mr. Lan.-- ford stating the regret of the Lord Lieutenant that he (Mr. Langford) should have exceeded his powers, and have been guilty of acting in an arbitrary manner in searching for arms in 1840 on a warrant issued in 1839. And this was the return he received for having done his duty, and having received the good will of all the loyal and well disposed persons for his efforts to strike terror into evil doers. Another Magistrate had a pplied for a warrant, and the Government had said they would :ssue a warrant, but not to Mr. Langford. The answer of that gentleman to the Government was, that Mr. Langford was in possession of the information, and that without his assistance he could not proceed. Had Mr. Langford refused to act upon the warrant of 1839 Madigan would have escaped. The mi s . taken policy of the Irish Government had prevented the detection or many crimes, and screened many who had been guilty of even murder. The state of things in that district was such as every man must deplore. In such a state of things the Ma gistrates ought to have been supported. It he had been in error he had erred but slightly. He had not, at all events, acted with partiality. B ut i f i t was said that the object of the Government was only to keep the Magistrate within the strict line of his duty, let him call their Lordships' attention to the conduct of another Magistrate, who was a partisan—he meant Mr. Barnes, of whom he did not wish to speak harshly. That Gentleman arrested eleven persons upon mere sus picion ; and he kept one man in prison eighteen months —passing over three Sessions. The Magistrate justi fied himself by referring to the difficulty of obtaining evidence in that country ; which was an excuse that he (Lord Charleville) was ready to admit. But when that was passed over in a partisan, why was Mr. Lang-. ford treated so severely for protecting the lives of the unhappy persons who resided in that unfortunate district ? He might have overstepped the strict bounds of the law ; but he was actuated only by a desire to discover the perpetrators of a most foul inure der. He (Lord Charleville) did not censure Mr. Barnes for the manner in which be had endeavoured to discharge a most painful duty. But his case showed how it might be necessary: for a man in a situation of similar difficulty, to take a painful responsibility upon himself. Such was the case of Mr. Langford, who, although he went beyond the exact letter of the taw, succeeded, however, in bringing the criminal to justice—that criminal having subsequently received sen tence of death, and being now doomed to pass the re mainder of his life in a penal settlement, and in sla very. Was not that gentleman entitled to some repara tion? He (Lord C.) asked for that reparation —not for the sake of Mr. Langford himself; but, for the sake of those who depend on the Magistracy for protection. One part of' the papers which he now had to move for consisted of the c orrespondence between Sir A. de Vero and the Irish Government. He thought that Mr. Lang ford had a right to know what was tho nature of the communications made respecting him to the Govern:t ap e: 4l. s ; He concluded by moving for a return of th e connected with the case of that gentleman, The Marquis of NORMANBY had listened atten tively to the Noble Earl, and h e h a d not b een able to discover what was the object of the motion. The minute details which th e N o bl e Earl wished the House to in vestigate were such as could only be brought forward in some grave case upon which the peace of the country depended. But surely the Noble Earl had shown nothing which could call for the attention of Parliament in the squabbles between one inspector and another. The Noble Earl himself had shown that the peace of the district had not been neglected ; but that, on the contrary, eleven persons had been brought to justice, independently of the exertions of Mr. Langford him self; and solely by the exertions of the police. When the Noble EA brought tie case of Castle Connell be fore the House on a former occasion, he made use of language, which upon reflection he must be sorry for.— (Hear, hear.) On that occasion he said that the con stabulary depended for promotion, not upon the dis charge of their duty, but upon their neglect of it. Now was that language which it was just—which it was prudent to use towards men of such respectability, who had beett ohoeen for the most part in consequence of their former services to their country ?—( Hear, hear.) The Noble Earl had gone so far as to call one of those officers, Mr. Jackson, a gentleman of the highest cha raeter and nnirapeached integrity—a spy.---( Hear, kNrs) Was that language which ought to be applied to a gentleman whose zealous discharge of his duty had been borne testimony to ny the resident Magistrates of the 9 04 0 y ?-,(tjear, hear.) The Noble Earl admitted %Wit Mr. Langford had behaved illegally, • . THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) :CROWN OFFICE, A va. 3, 1840. MEMBERS RETURNED TO SERVE IN THIS PRESENT PARLIAMENT.

Indeed the fact was that Mr. Lang ford had done so; and he (the Margins of Nomanhy) entirely concurred with his Noble Friend that Mr. Lang ford had acted improperly—and in opposition to the letter of the law and the spirit of the Constitution. The Temperance Society bad clearly proved that they had no connection with the Ribbon Society, although the Noble Earl did not think that the Temperance Society had completely exonerated themselves from the charge of such a connexion ; but the Bench of Magi*. trates who investigated that charge were unanimously o opinion that the connection was disproved. They did not certainly decide that the document found in Michael Whelan's house was a fabrication. But nearly erre hal: of them were of that opinion, and the casting vote to the contrary was given by Mr. Langford.—(Hear. and a laugh.) He had no objection to the production of all the documents connected with the case, and be had them all in his possession, as he had before told the Noble Earl. But he positively objected to return copies of the opinions of the Law Officers of the Crown. With respect to Palan-Kenry, be denied that it had been of late in a worse state than in former years, when starvation prevailed in that district, and was accompanied with such disorders as were, perhaps inseparable from such a lamentable state.—( Hear hear.) The Noble Marquis then recd several returns relating to the state of crime in Ireland, from 1834 to the present year, to show the very great diminution of crime. At the late A,siz hat diminution was of a most remarkable extent. Nor would lie hesitate, notwithstanding the risk he ran of incurring the censure of the Noble Earl to avow his approbation of the procled;rg; of the Temperance Societies, and to express his hope bit' thy would have the most beneficial effects upon the social state of Ireland. He would repeat, in conc'usion, that he would not object to the returns moved for, with th) exception of the opinions of the Law•otf'icers of he Crown, in the case of Mr. Langford. The Earl of GLENGALL did not deny that great distress prevailed in the county of Limerick, but he could not see what connexion there was between that distress,and the b caking into houses, for the plundtr of arms. He concurred with his Noble Friend (Lord Charleville) that Mr. Langford had been very harshly treated. It had always been the custom of the Ma gistrates to act upon the warrants upon which that Gentleman had acted, until they were called in by the Government.—(Hear, hear.) The letter o" the Lord Lieutenant to Mr. Langford, was one of the most offs sive ever %ritten from one gent'eman to another. In fact, he believed that the letter was written by some person in the Attorney-General's offizk, and was signed by the Lord-Lieutenant without being read by him. The rewards offered for the ap" prehension of criminals from 1836 to 1840 were 814, and only forty-seven had been claimed. This showed the great extent of the system of intimidation, and how impossible it was to bring criminals to justice. He wished the Noble Viscount would ask the opinion of Mr. Sergeant Moore as to the cases tried before him et the last Tipperary assizes. Juries were afraid to con.. vict, and the consequences were criminals escaped. The Earl of CARBERY thought no censure ought ever to be cast upon a Magistrate fora m ere error of judgment. The motion was then agreed to. ECCLESIASTICAL DUTIES AND REVENUES ',SILL. On the motion for their Lordships resolving theta' selves into Committeo on the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill.

The Bishop of EXETER suggested that the House should sit on Wednesday to discuss the Report. Viscount MELBOURNE hoped there would be 0 0 impediment to having the Bill read a third time eg Thursday. The Standine; Orders might be suspended* The Bishop of EXETER thought that too much power should not be delegated to the Committee er stairs. The Duke of WELLINGTON objected to sitting on Wednesday ; he thought the Report might 118 received on Thursday and the third reading taken oa Friday.
