LICENSED. VICTUALLERS' SOCIETY. The third anniversary of this excellent society was celebrated on Wednesday. by a dinner at the house of Mr. Perceval, at Everton; T. Ackers, Esq. in the chair. The company, which was highly respectable, consisted of about two hundred and fifty persons. The dinner was of the most excellent descrip tion, and was served up in Mr. Perceval's best style. It com prised every delicacy of the season, and the wines were of a very superior order. In short, owing to the very excellent and liberal arrangements of the stewards, who performed the task which they had so kindly undertaken in a manner to leave no thing to be desired, the whole passed off in such spirit as to give the most perfect satisfaction to all resent. The dinner was announced to take place at three o'clock. It was not, however, served till four; but the interval was filled up by some excellent music by the Liverpool Lancer Band, which was stationed on the lawn. This institution, yet in its infancy, takes for its model the society under the same name which has been so long established in London; and when we consider the number of orphans who have been rescued from want by the London society; when also we take into account the increased and increasing impor tance of the town of Liverpool, and the spirit and liberality which on all occasions distinguish our fellow-townsmen, we cannot feel surprised at seeing the third anniversary of the Liverpool Licensed Victuallers' Society so numerously and re spectably attended. The cloth being removed, the first toast given was "The King," which was drank with every demonstration of respect and loyalty. Air—" God save the King." " The Queen."—" Here's trhealth to all good lasses." The Princess Victoria, and,,the rest of the 'loyal Fami7y— the Army—the Navy—the Duke of Wellington—and sevra other toasts were given from the chair, and were drank with due honour. Mr. Row LAN nsoN, in a neat address, detailed the objects of the society, and called on those present, as far as their means admitted, (inclination he was sure was not wanting) to assist in forwarding the objects of the institution. He concluded by proposing the health of their worthy chairman, Thos. Ackers, Esq., which was received and drunk with the most enthusiastic applause. Mr. Acxeas, in returning thanks, observed that though he was unable to express in suitable terms his acknowledgments for the honour the company had just done him, yet what he wanted in ability he was sure he made up in zeal to serve the society whose anniversary they had that day assembled to cele brate. He had been called to London (we understood) per favour of the Liverpool Election Committee, and it had been his intention to remain there a short time with his friends, but knowing the Licensed Victuallers would dine together that day, and having the interests of the Society much at heart, he had resisted the solicitations of his London friends, and hastened down to Liverpool to contribute his mite, and lend his humble aid in furthering the benevolent objects of the institution. (Loud cheer ing.) He then took a view of the benefits derived from the London Society, and predicted that if the Licensed Victuallers exerted themselves, it would not be long before they were in possession of a similar refuge for their children, if unhannily any of them should need it, He expressed himself gratified at the very respectable and numerous attendance of the friends of the institution, and concluded by requesting the Secretary to put his name down as an annual subscriber, with a present donation of ten pounds. The worthy chairman sat down amidst the most vehement cfieeritig. Mr. HINDLEY, the'vice-chairman, also addressed the meeting, amidst great applause, and•requested the society's acceptance of his mite of £lO, and that he might also be considered an annual subscriber. Mr. BENT and Mr. Moony also addressed the meeting, and declared their intention of subscribing towards its funds, to the same extent as their worthy chairman. Several other gentle men delivered their sentiments, and the conviviality of the meeting was maintained till a late hour, when the company separated, highly gratified with the proceedings of the day. DEATH OF WILLIAM WILBERFORCE, ESQ.—It iS this day our melancholy duty to announce the death of William Wil berforce, a name with which theta is probably associated more of love and veneration than ever fell to the lot of any . single individual throughout the civilised globe. At one period the sad event would have been felt as a grievous national calamity, and even now the tidings of his departure will be heard with the deepest sorrow through every part of the empire. But he worked while it was called day, remembering that the night was coming wherein no man may work. And he was not per mitted to leave the scene of his labours till he beheld the great cause to which he had dedicated all the energies of his soul triumphant, and the fetters of the negro about to be struck off for ever. His warfare is accomplished ;his course is finished; he kept the faith. Those who regard him merely as a philan thropist, in the worldly sense of that abused term, know but little of his character. His philanthropy took its origin in love to God; it was kindled at the sacred fire of Divine love, and it burned with such bright and steady lustre, only because it was daily replenished from its hallowed source. The sad event took place laat.isight ist.the house of Mr. Smith, in Cadogan-place. Mr. Wilberforce was in the 71th year of his age. We understand Mr. Wilberforce has directed in his will that his funeral should be conducted without the smallest pomp, and that his body should be interred in the family vault of his brother-in law in the church-yard of Stoke Newington, pursuant to a pro mise made to the late Mr. Stephen.—Record of Monday. A WITCH.—At Sculcoatds Hall, on Tuesday, Charles Ash ton was charged with assaulting Ellena Winslow. The com plainant, who was a very old woman, stated that on Friday morning Ashton sent for - her to a public-house, as he said, to have a sixpenny-worth with him. She refused, but after some pressing, agreed to take three penny-worth. He then took hold of her hand and grasped it, and with a sharp instrument cut her arm, saving, "There you old witch, you can't bewitch me any more, I have drawn your blood." She replied she had not bewitched him ; it was his own bad conduct. She had lived near him four or five years, and never had an ill word. There was no one in the room at the time it was done. Ashton, who appeared to be a farmer's servant, and seemed to have a great ' dread of the old lady, admitted having cut her arm. " She could lig a curse upon ony man," and he did it with a pin. He had been above four years under the doctor's hands for a com plaint that was laid upon him, and he did not know what for. (Laughter.) A Magistrate—You stupid fellow, do you mean to say you believe this old woman can lay a complaint upon you? Ashton—She has told people so; I can bring a man who heard her say so. (Laughter.) Magistrate—lf you can prove that this woman has followed that line of profession termed witchcraft we can punish her; but to say that she has affected you is most absurd. Ashton—lt may seem very queer to you, but it is true. I was under Dr. Alderson, Dr. Turnbull, and Mr. Hardy, and they gould none of them find out what it was. The magistrates ordered the bewitched to retire and see if he could not satisfy the " wierd sister" for the hurt he had caused her, and we believe she succeeded in laying so potent a spell upon him as to extract five shillings from his canvas purse.— Hull Advertiser. MURDER OF DR. HENNIS.—At the Exeter assizes, on Fri day last, Mr. Milford, Mr. Holland, and Captain Halstead, were tried for aiding and assisting in the duel between Sir J. Jeffcott and Dr. Hennis, in which the latter was killed. The facts of the case, as published at the time the affair took place, were proved by several witnesses, and in their defence the pri soners denied most earnestly that they had been actuated by malice against the deceased. The learned judge summed up at very great length, and stated to the jury, on the authority of Baron Foster, that if a party of persons went out with the cool and deliberate intention of fighting . a duel, if one of those par ties was killed, the rest were all guilty of murder in the eve of the law ; and if they were of that opinion they were bound to return a verdict of guilty. If, on the other hand, they could reconcile it to their consciences that they went out with out being aware that Dr. Hennis and Sir Jolin Jeffcott started with such intention then they would acquit them. The jury, after consulting for a short time, returned a verdict of not guil ty. No evidence was offered on the coroner's inquisition, and the prisoners were discharged. Emprr tat varliam t. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, JULY 29 The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition from Coventry against the practice of infanticide in India. The Duke of Wimt.iNoToN presented a petition, signed by a great number of tradesmen and artisans connected with the commerce of the city of London, against the East India Charter Bill, as being highly injurious to their interests. The petitioners stated that capital amounting to no less than 1:11;000,000 ster ling was employed in the metropolis with reference to this trade. By this bill that capital was to oe employed hereafter in paying the debt in India, in providing an annuity for the proprietors of East India stock, and in meeting other expenses which would arise in consequence of the new arrangement. Amongst the necessary expenses would be those for affording pensions, and making due provision for individuals who were at present etri. ployed in the commercial service of the company, at home and abroad, to the estimated amount of £sii,ooo, but which was likely to be increased hereafter to £200,0(); making altogether, with various otheritems, a charge on those assets which had hitherto- been commercially employed in this metropolis of E900,0 1 ,D. What - the petitioners - complained of was, that the bill which was about to be carried iuto execution so suddenly would have the effect of totally depriving them of employment. The ships nivally sent to India by the company were not, it appeared, to he fitted out this season; and those individuals who were particularly connected with that branch of commerce. on the river Thames, amounting to about 4500 persons, would be left without any employment whatsoever. CHURCH TEMPORALITIES (IRELAND . ) BILL. On the motion for bringing up the report of the above bill, The Earl of WINCIIILSRA moved `• that the report be received its day six months." On a division the numbers were:— Ayes 6B • Noes 3O Majority —34 The clerk then proceeded to read the amendments made by the committee. A desultory debate ensued on the amendments, after which the report was agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time on the following day. The house adjourned at ele ven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS MONDAY, JULY 29. The gallery was opened at the usual hour. A short conversation arose relative to the course of business. It was ultimately agreed that petitions relative to the Abolition of Slavery Bill ;houkd be presented previous to proceeding with the committee thereon. ..... Mr. Ew ART accordingly presented a petition from the Asso ciation of Merchants of Liverpool trading to the Brazils, against the grant of i:20,000,000 sterling, as a compensation to the West India merchants. Mr. ItoEnucK presented a petition from the inhabitants of Bath, stating that they viewed with alarm the bill for the eman cipation of slavery, which had been introduced by the govern-. ment, and objecting to a grant of compensation so large as f.20,000,(100; also a petition from Bristol, praying that compen sation might only be granted to the West India planters in pro portion to the actual loss sustained by the emancipation of the negroes, and that no money might be granted until that eman cipation was complete. WEST INDIA BILL. Mr. SECRETARY STANLEY moved that the house resolve itself into committee on the slavery abolition bill. Sir E. Wit.moT gave notice that on the 25th clause being put, he should move to insert E15,00J,000 instead of £20,000,000. (Hear.) In committee, the 9th, 10th, and 11th clauses were agreed to. The 12th clause was partially discussed until three o'clock, when the Chairman reported progreDs, and the Speaker ad journed the house. The house resumed at five o'clock. The order for the second reading of the Carrickfergus dis franchisement bill, which stood for tc-morrow, was read and discharged, and a resolution come to that the Speaker should not issue a warrant for the holding of any election for that borough until fourteen days after the meeting of the next session. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE Mr. O'CONNELL moved that the order of the day be read, "That John Joseph Lawson and James William Lawson be called to the bar of the house." Mr. METHUEN rose for the purpose of moving that the said order of the day be discharged, (hear, hear,) and, in doing,so, he trusted he should not be suspected of being actuated by any personal feelings towards the honourable and learned member for Dublin. That honourable and learned member, no doubt, considered that he was only discharging his duty in moving that the individuals named in the order be called to the bar; but he (Mr. Methuen) had also a duty to perform as well as the honourable and learned member • and, as a mem ber of that house, he felt himself conscientiously called upon to oppose the proposed proceeding, and to object to the house being placed in a situation of perhaps very great difficulty, by taking a course which had always been, if possible, avoided, and which, he trusted, would continue to be avoided, so long as there existed no absolute necessity for adopting it. In the first place, the mo tion was, "that the printer of The Times newspaper be called to the bar of that house." Now, in his humble judgment, the printer could not possibly be the offending party in the present case. The reporters, it was true, might be considered as the ser vants of the printer for the time being; but, if they were the servants, they were not the slaves of the printer (hear, hear); and he could not conceive how the printer could by possibility obiige those gentlemen to report if they declined to do so. The subject of this dispute did not originate within the walls of that house, but arose out of certain expressions which fell from the hon. and learned member, not standing in his capacity of mem ber of Parliament, but while attending a meeting as a private individual. -As a member of that house, then, he (Mr. Methuen) must protest against its being drawn into what he looked upon as a private dispute of the hon. aud learned member, with which that house had nothing whatever to do. (Hear, hear.) The hon. and learned member complained of a breach of privilege. The complaint in itself was most strange and contradictory. How was it a breach of privilege ? The breach of privilege consisted in reporting 'at all'; but that was not the complaint of the hon, and learned Member. He charged ttse reporters mit- witls having reported, but with not having reported enough. (Hear.) The hon. and learned member complained of the partial system of reporting; but unless his ( Mr. blethuen's) information was incorrect, as he by no means believed it to be,—on the contrary, he was perfectly satisfied of its truth,—no member of Parlia ment had so much profited by a system of partial reports as the hon. and learned member hiinself. In a newspaper called the Tralee Mercury they were in the habit of reporting exclusively the speeches of the bon. and learned member. The hon. and learned member smiled at his statement, but he (Mr. Methuen) repeated he had every reason to believe the authority on which he made it to be correct. He had also been informed that three Dublin newspapers had throughout the present session reported the speeches of the hon. and learned member, but had omitted to report the triumphant answers which they received from the right hon. Secretary for the Colonies. He did not mean to say that the hon. and learned member had employed those papers to act in this way; he merely stated a fact, which he believed to be true. If such was the case, and if the hon. and learned member had, as he must have, seen those papers, would not a charge against them for a breach of privilege have come from the hon. and learned member with better grace than the pro ceeding which he had resolved on, and which originated in a dispute to which the House of Commons was no party? ( Hear, hear.) He would say one word with respect to the reporters. He did not mean to justify them for the course they had pur sued, but human nature was frail; and he put it to any gentle man whether the charge made by the hon. and learned member against the reporters, of being guilty of " deliberate falsehood," was not one calculated to rouse all the feelings of a man, as well as of a gentleman ? He had made inquiry into the characters of those gentlemen who usually acted as reporters, and he had every reason to believe that they were gentlemen of educal tion ; many of them were studying for the bar; and there were instances, and proud instances, of some of thug having risen to the highest honours of the state. (Hear, hear, hear.) If the hon. and learned member would only give one practical proof of his love of liberty, and consent to the dischazge of bis motion, without going to a division, he would do more to gratify the liberal feelings of the country than by all the harangues he could possibly utter in favour of freedom. (Hear, hear.) He apologized for having occupied so keg the attention of the house; he disclaimed being animated by any personal feeling towards the hon. and learned member; but, as an English gentleman and a member of Parliament, he could not allow that house to be dragged into a situation of difficulty, from which it would find it extremely hard to extricate itself; and he was sure that hon. members would have cause for repen tance if they did not support the motion he was about to make. ( Hear, hear.) The hon. member concluded by moving " That the order of the day for summoning John Joseph Lawson and James William Lawson to the bar of the house he discharged." Mr. ROBIN SON felt pleasure in seconding the motion, " that the order of the day be discharged." He entirely agreed in the statement made by the hon. member who had just sat down, that, whatever might be the state of the case at present, the dispute between Air. O'Connell and the reporters originated in circumstances not in the slightest degree involving a breach of the privileges of that house; and without pretending to vindi cate the persons who had fallen under the displeasure of .the hon, and learned member for Dublin, he was yet prepared to state that that house would be acting most unwisely if it should be prevailed on by the hon. and learned member to take the course which he recommended. Mr. O'Cosstee heard the amendment of the hon. members (Mr. Methuen) with very considerable surprise, particularly at that part of the honourable gentleman's speech wherein he alluded to his (Mr. O'Connell's) motion being directed against the tradesman printer. When he commenced the controversy he had complained that the reports of the present session were to his own knowledge exceedingly defective, and to his know ledge. also designedly false, and then the kindness .of the hon. member (Mr. Methuen) induced him to applaud him. (No, no, from Mr. Methuen.) He understood that hon. member had said as much as that he was mis-reported. Mr. METHUEN declared he had said no such thing. (Hear, hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL had thought that was the case. The hon. member had, however, said he (Mr. O'Connell) was connected with the Tralec paper. Mr. METHUEN—I declare I did not say so. I said—but I am in the recollection of the house and will not repeat it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL said he had heard the hon member say so if the house did not. (Laughter.) But the Tralee Mercury had nothing to do with it. Mr. METHUEN observed that what he had said was, that the hon. and learned member's speeches were reported in that paper, and none of those of his opponents. Mr. O'CONNELL said with respect to the three Dublin papers. only one of them had a reporter in London, and that paper was opposed to him. As for himself, he would be glad to see all he said published, if it were but done fairly. The hon. member said, said truly, that none spoke more in favoilr of liberty, than he did. (Oh, oh.) But there was a ilespotisib and a tyranny exercised towards this house, and on the pltet of hon. members there was a shrinking which he was sorry to see. It was because he hated despotism that he was determined to persevere, and he would persevere, until the present privileges were so ludicrous that no man would afterwards talk of the dignity of the house. (Hear, hear.) When he used the term " designedly false," it was at a public meeting, at which re porters were present, and might have contradicted him if they had pleased ; he would have taken care to get them a hearing. (Hear, hear.) They had all the newspapers at their command, and might have contradicted him and assailed him in any way they pleased. The cause of the quarrel was out of the house, but the reporters had attacked him by declaring (as was stated in the Times, that they would not report what he said in that house. By the privileges of the house,' no publication could take place except by the permission of the Speaker, nor could any evidence of Committees of the house be published without his permission. He (Mr. O'Connell) should be very glad if the debates of that house could go fully abroad, but then they should also be under the correction of the Speaker. (Laughter.) It was not right that reports of what was said in that house should be mis-stated; they ought to be correct if reported at all. If papers went on publishing the business of Parliament, and that incorrectly or falsely, the only remedy was to prevent the reporting of any. An honourable member bad spoken of the infringement of the liberty enjoyed under sufferance by the press. He should like to be told if it was necessary he should THE LI V ERPOOL sTANDARD. submit to the infringement of his liberty. The King could not control the liberty he enjoyed; nor could the la ouse of Lords nor the judges control it; and he would ask the house if it would set up tnis system of reporting, and establish it as a higher tribunal than that of the King, Lords, or Commons, or the laws of the land. The poWer possessed by the press at present was such as it ought not to possess. It had been accumulated by a monopoly of the press, arising out of excessive taxation, and. to so great au extent that it required a fortune to establish any thing in competition. This monopoly was now become a most domineering aristocracy, and it was said that nothing could put it down ; but he had put his hand to the business, and he would try. The reporters boasted that they had succeeded in putting down some of the greatest men the country had produced; that they had overcome a member of the Firesent administration; nay, that tiaiy had overcome the Lord Chancellor himself; and they added to the list the names of Tierney and Wyndham ' the last of whom had conciliated them by a dinner. But they should not put him down, and that they would find. It was said that the time of the house had been taken up with Ireland; but what blessings had the house conferred upon her? She had rather cause to regret than appreciate those attentions. He would- have the house not to be misle,don this question; but calmly to consider that if its proceedings were not fairly re potted iii any paper, that the paper was not worthy the suffer ance of reporting, at ail. He wanted to know who are the inunag,ers of the Times, the reporters or the proprietors ? Sir It. PEEL said it would be well for the house to consider, he'fore it 'took the first step in this matter, to what itwould lead. He had seen the nature of the complaint of the hon. and learned gentleman. He admitted that the privileges of the house had not been' observed, that the house had been accus tomed to connive at their violation, and that the tacit under standing of that connivance was, that impartiality should he equally extended to all. The question, however, was this— was the course now adopted by the hon. and learned gentleman such as would enforce the impartiality and justice for which he contended ? The hon. and learned gentleman had endeavoured to deter those who took a part on this question different from his own view of it by sayin , that they were shrinking from the' despotism of the press. Ile knew not whether he (Sir R. Peel) would he considered as a man likely to shrink from that des potism. He knew of no baser fear than that which would lead a man to accommodate his conduct to the feeling of the press. (Hear, hear.) Still he was of opinion that the fear of being thought afraid of the press ought not to prevent a man of spirit from doing justice to it, (hear, hear;) and, as an act of jus tice to .it, he must say that during the 20 years he had been in Parliament he had bad no occasion to complain of the reports of his speeches which had been inserted in the press, and that he had, not had in that time any communication with the reporters, save once or twice, when some of them had called upon him for documents referred to in his speech. He thought, therefore, that without going into further particulars—looking at the ne cessity existing at present for having the debates both in the House of Commons and the House of Lords accurately re ported looking also at the intention of those who made [hoe reports to supply the country with an accurate account of the transactions in Parliament, he thought that the reports of the debates of the House of Commons fur the last 20 years had ' been given with great efficiency and fidelity. (Loud cheers.)— During 15 of those 20 years he had held of ce, and during the . whole - of that time he had never received any communichtion from any person connected with the press respecting the man ner in which his speeches had been reported. He had never during that time received any solicitation for any favour or patronage from any reporter, and he believed he might say that no application had been made to any of his colleagues while he was in office for any such patronage or favour in consequence of any favour shown to them for having given their speeches fully. (Hear, hear.) If he could bear this testimony to the indepen dence of the reporters, founded as it was, on the experience of 15 years in office, he thought he might challenge those who had succeeded him to say whether they could not bear the same evi dence. (" Hear, hear," from.LOrd Althorp.) It occurred to him that the hon. and learned gentlemen, when lie said that he held a power in that house which was not to be controlled, either by the King ' or the lords, or the courts of law, or the judges , it occurred to him (Sir R. Peel) that he (Mr. O'Connell) ought, as his power was irresponsible, to temper its exercise with justice,. (cheers); and if he (Mr. O'Connell) said that the reports in the morning newspapers were not only incorrect and ignorant, but also " designedly false." (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Mr. O'CONNELL said that he had intended to confine himself 'to the reports in one paper only (Oh, oh,) he meant The Times. Sir R. PEEL.—Then, why commence his motion for bringing up the proprietor of the Morning Chronicle ? (Loud cries of hear, hear.*) Now, he understood that with the four papers against which he complained some 40 or 50 gentlemen were connected—some holdipg commissions in the army and in the navy—several having . got academical education,—several of them members of the inns of court—some of them practising barristers, and all moving in the rank of gentlemen, and they naturally felt sore at the designation of their reports as deli berate falsehoods. (Loud cries of hear.) On the division there appeared— . For Mr. O'Connell's motion 4B Against it. 153 Majority . —lO5 The order for calling Mr. Lawson to the bar was therefore discharged. On our return to the gallery we found the house about to proceed with the order of the clay for again going into commit tee on the Slavery Abo ition Bill, when Mr. 0 CONNELL, addressing the Speaker, called his attention to the presence of strangers in the gallery. The Speaker ordered the gallery to be cleared, and the house proceeded for, the remainder of the night with closed doors. We understood that soon after the gallery was cleared, Mr. ROBINSON gave notice of a motion for to-morrow (this day) for suspending the standing order which excludes stran gers. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, JULY 30. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from certain farmers residing in the county of Berks, praying that the te nants as well as the landlords should be allowed to take game, and that the game laws should be altered for that purpose. .The Earl of KINNOUL said the petitioners had no just cause to complain more than individuals in other parts of the country. PORTUGUESE BLOCKADE. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY rose for the purpose of en deavouring to execute the task which he had imposed on him self, 'that of acquiring information with respect to , the singular position in which this country stood with fespect to 'Portugal„ and relative to which there had already been some discussion in that house. He endeavoured, by the questions which he had put to the noble earl some days since, to elucidate the reasons which led to a recent proceeding at the Foreign Office. He confessed that the only paper which had been lard on the table, with reference to the extraordinary situation of this country was so meagre, and contained so little information, that it by no means satisfied him. He should therefore press on the no ble earl whether there were not some other documents to jus tify the notification of a blockade which was so prejudicial to the commercial interests of this country. If he expected to de rive any great advantage from calling their lordships' attention to this q uestion, he should have brought it forward more rea dily; but, having served for a considerable portion-V his life in Portugal—having been for 10 years in that country—having there followed the footsteps of the noble duke near him—feeling a sincere and deep interest in the welfare of that people, and having seen all descriptions of kindness manifested towards himself and the British army generally by those who were now at the head of affairs in Portugal, he could not help, however unsuccessful he might be, raising his voice on this occasion, and declaring that the conduct of his Majesty's ministers towards that country was ccntrary to good faith, was partial, and un just. It was decidedly so with regard to those who were now at the head of the government of Portugal, and he questioned very much whether the noble earl could deny this proposition —namely, that Don Miguel's claim was manifestly supported by the voice and the will of the Portuguese people. He feared that he should derive no benefit from this motion, because if the noble earl chose to avail himself of the power which his situa tion gave him to arrest the effect of any motion to which their lordships' house might come, it became evident that there was very little use in their lordships' decisions. But, feeling it, right to uphold the interests of this country, with re ference to Portugal, as far as possible, he felt it to he his duty to come forward, and to ask ministers in what way this blockade had been carried on, and on what grounds a notification of that blockade had been published? He held in his hand the opinion of that. very eminent civilian Sir William Scott, who stated, "that to constitute a legal block ade two things were necessary,—first, that a real, not a nominal, blockade should exist; and, secondly, that due notice and warning should be given to neutral ships. The fact of.the e)thitence of an actual blockade was most essential, since, with out it, notice of blockade availed not. The mere notification was not of itself sufficient to raise the presumption of blockade." Again, Sir W. Scott .said, " If a single power declares that a blockade, by such power, extended to every part of any country, and if such blockade was not effectual with reference to certain ports, then those ports were exemted from the operation of the blockade." How, then, did this doctrine agree with the blockade notified by Lord Palmerston ? The letter on their lordships' table from the Chevalier de Lima to the Foreign office set forth, " that Providence having granted to the squad ron of her most Faithful Majesty a brilliant victory, and crowned the valour of the illustrious sailor whose glory is re flected upon two crowns and two nations, which were accustomed for ages to mingle their laurels, the Vice-Adm. C. Pon za was pre paring to establish the blockade of Lisbon without delay." 1 his was pompously put forth, as if this country were interested in the exploits of those gentlemen, those British subjects, who went out to serve their own perSonal objects, on the one side or the other. , With respect to, the late naval action,-ho4id confess -that he had seen, with great surprise, an account of proceedings, having for their object to reward the officer who commanded on that oc casion for a breach of the law. There was, he observed with re gret a great meeting held, at which an illustrious duke ( Sussex) had presided. He admired the conduct of the illustrious duke when he came forward in support of great and extensive - chari ties, but he did think that the illustrious duke, with his illus trious judgment, ouglit not to'have presided at the meeting to 'which he (the Marquis of Londonderry) had alluded. How ever unpleasant it might be to any party, he felt that he was called on to state his opinion. He felt very great regret, as a military man, that he had suffered himself to be placed at the head of a meeting in the city, the object of which was to grant praise and reward to a British officer for breaking the laws of his country. If such recompense were held out—if the applause of such meetings was to be given to those mili tary or naval men who broke the law—the example would be most dangerous. A more dangerous precedent could not be held out to either profession than that. Feeling the highest reverence for the family who now occupied the throne of these realms, and entertaining a sincere 'respect for every branch of that illustriouS family, he deeply regretted that one member of that illustrious house had appeared at such a meeting. (Hear.) He concluded by moving for "a copy of the letter addressed by the Chevalier de Lima on the 15th of July to Lord Palmer ston ;" and " copies of ail communications from commanders of His Majesty's ships of war relative to the blockade of the Portuguese ports addressed to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs before the2.sth instant." Earl GREY said, in answering the noble marquis, _he shor throw aside all the extraneous matter which the noble marquis had introduced. He should make no observations respecting the general policy of the government,—respecting the defeat of the Portuguese fleet,—and still less respecting the rights or the cause of Don Miguel. He should give a very short answer, an answer of One or two ininutes, to the observations with re spect to the blockade which the noble marquis had thought proper to make. On a communication made to the Foreign office by a person resident in London, not accredited indeed, but acting as the agent of a particular power, notice was given of the intention to blockade those ports. Whether an expres sion contained in the letter, and to which the noble marquis ob jected, was well introduced or not, he would not say. It was the work of M. de Lima, and all he (Earl Grey) had to do was, to ap ply himself to that part of the letterwhich announced the blockade. The letter set forth "that the regency had resolved to establish the blockade of Lisbon and of all the other Portuguese ports ;" and therefore the noble marquis had no right to assert that the noble secretary had gone beyond the point laid down in that letter. The notification said, that " the regency acting in Por tugal in the name and on the behalf of her most faithful Ma jesty Donna Maria da Gloria, has resolved to establish imme diately an effectual blockade of the port of Lisbon, and all the . , • • Our readers will recollect that `tile motion of tife•4n. and learned member for Dublin moved, in the first instance, against four of the London morning papers, but he chose to begin with the Morning Chronicle. t.A% ..•‘% 4 • 6 ' 4 \ k ..4Wfillll6 • If tS iir course to be 4 vsaed Iv' remard tocertain persons convi cted after the lapse of the reg iViicldlorex sessions, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL state, that it was not intended to carry into execution the convictions which had taken place after the termination of the regular sessions.

BULLER was rising to bring forward his motion Go this subject, when sse t _ d Mr. STANLEY thought that the hon. gentleman had expre b his acquiescence in the observations of Or r i g ht hon. mem the house TamwOrth as to the inexpediency of bringing before tru hpuse abstract prepositions. this Mr. C. BuLnErt contended there was nothing abstract in • proposition.

FRONTIERS OF ITALY. —JuIy B.—ln Austrian Lombard y+ 10 ,„, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and the States of Parma and n- a delta, nothing is heard of but dangerous political intrigues 3,0, 4 conspiracies; but in the Sardinian continental provinces n , actual state of things was on the eve of being violently o c g thrown, while at Naples the life of the King was in danger, and in the Roman States only the presence of foreig n bayonets ca n con t ro l the spirit o f di sc ont e nt. Austria, howev e be as well by treaties as by its possessions, is called upon to be t ., 6 protector of Italy, and it-cannot, therefore, be matter of sure f t that, under existing circumstances, it adopts measures the oNj, , of which is to maintain the statu quo in the Peninsula, if ne e , be, by force of arms.

NOTHING PERSONAL.—At a recent vestry Ine et ' n "_..., 9o „ 6 otri tropolitan parish, a Mr. Bu s sey said to a Mr. il tit churchwarden at the time—" Sir, I mean notWocie pato .to my excellent friend, Mr. , but it is WY V e 011 0 0, t belief that he has plund e red the parish ever since % cif 0 3V and is the greatest thief in the universe. I do n scol 10,Y personal, but I must say be is a villain, an infanou'ocl 0 0 1 . and a radical. I uow speak in my vestal capacitYcoiet every hand' . should hare a whip to lash the 1 ° 'through the timid." other ports of Portugal where the authority of her most faithful Majesty shall not lie established and acknowledged, and it is supposed the blockade is already in force." Now, he would ask, when this 'notification was written, was it not known that a signal,victory bad been achieved, that the fleet of Don Migpel had been captured, and was not the intention of establishing, a blockade :announced? ( Hear.) This being the case, and looking to•the rapidity of the movements of the officer who cap tured the fleet, surely every one must have come to the conclu sion that he would not be likely to remain in the bay of LagoS. But he could adduce examples, where there were two contend ing parties, in which this government, without inquiring into the rights of either, gave notice that, in accordance with the law of nations, one.of them had established a blockade against the other, examples were not wanting in which that principle was acted on in late . years. When the separation of the South American colonies from Spain took place, and long be fore this country acknowledged the independence of South America, the blockade of their ports by Spain was regularly notified; again in July, 1827, the Greek blockade was recog nized. Another case similar to the present occurred when no tice was given of an intention to blockade: Funchal. He had only to add, inasmuch as the noble earl's - attack was directed not so much against him (Earl Grey) as against. his noble friend at the head of the foreign department,lhat he' had'the utmost confidence if his. noble friend should.ever be driven,- by the pressure of affairs at the moment, to act, without consulting his colleagues, that he would do nothing incorrect; at the same time, in reference to the affairs of Portugal, he (Earl Grey) was, prepared to take his full share of the responsibility. .The Duke of SUSSEX rose in consequence of the noble earl's . (Vane's) allusion• to hini. He had often heard the noble earl ad dress the house, and allude to a variety of topics in a. desultory manner, therefore he did not feel surprised at the noble-earl hav ing mixed up his name with the question of Portugal. The no-, hie earl wished to censure him for attending a meeting relative to Capt. Napier. Differing with the noble earlas he did in sentiment, he declined to take a leaf out of his political or diplomatic opinion. He had attended toe meeting because an attempt was made to crush the national feeling of pride expressed at the conduct of Capt. Napier, and he wished to bear testimony to that gentle nian's private character. The noble earl said he spoke as a soldier; he (the Duke of Sussex) respected soldiers, but he was somewhat jealous of them, and conceived that when any man put a blue coat on and walked through the streets, he had a ri g ht to entertain his private opinions without being influenced by professional motives. He had stood forward to show respect to an individual of great merit add ability, who had achieved an action which he hoped would soon set the question of the sove reignty of Portugal at rest. He would act precisely in the same way if the thing was to be done again. He was responsible to no man, and if he had acted contrary to public opinion lie should not have been worthy of the seat which - he held in that house. The Earl of ELDON could not admit that the illustrious duke, or any . other noble lord, was at liberty to counteract' the deter. mination of the Sovereign to maintain strict neutrality between. this country and Portugal. No man . on earth snore respected and admired the gallantry of Captain Napi4r, but he had sub jected himself to dismissal from hisMajesty't service, and there fore it did nut become the illustrious duke, or any other peer, by supporting that indiVidual, to assist - in counteracting his Ma jesty's declaration. Lord WYNFORD maintained that the commerce of this coun try would be endangered by the present blockade. After a few words from the Marquis of Londonderry, the mo tion for the papers was allowed to stand over till the fitness of producing them had been considered by ministers. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then moved the order of the day for the third reading of the IRISH CHURCH TEMPORALITIES BILL. The Marquis of HEADFORT Ras understood to support the bill, on the ground that it was essential to the conservation of the church of Ireland. The Earl of ELDON felt it to be a duty he'owed to his Sove reign and his conscience to oppose the present bill. It went to subvert the established Protestant church of the state, and he held that a national religion was essential to the very existence of the state, and that of all national religions that of - the church of England ar was the best and most favoable to the political, no less than the moral, well-being of the people. It was the duty of the legislature to preserve the union of church and state, and promote the interests of the church, instead of, as with the present bill, very seriously injuring both. (Hear.) The noble and learned lord attributed the present bill to the measure introduced in 1829 by the noble duke(Wellington) for the removal of Catholic disabilities. 'lWhether the predictions which he made at the time had been verified, had been fulfilled, it was not for him to decide. He thought that, instead of di minishing the number of Protestant bishops in Ireland, it ought to be increased. It was unjust to make the. dissenters in Eng land pay tithes and church rates if disienters in Ireland were to be exempted from those burdens. If there was to be an es tablished church, it was the duty of every, individual in the state, whatever might be the doctrines which he professed, to contri bute to its support. The noble earl — toncluded by declaring that he would rather sacrifice his existence than consent to a bill which proceeded upon a principle that would entirely destroy the Protestant established episcopal form of ecclesiastical dis cipline in this country. (Hear; hear.) The Earl of LONGFORD was of opinion that the bill contained some good originally, and it had been considerably improved in the committee, yet still so much remained bad in principle that he felt justified in opposing it. He thought ministers would act wisely by withdrawing the present measure, and introducing another hereafter, which should contain all its good and none of its evil. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that he would not be drawn into a discussion on the Catholic question in consequence of what had fallen from the noble and learned earl (Eldon). The noble and learned earl attributed the present measure to the act of 1829; but many more events occurred between 1829 and 1833, and even previous to 1829, which might account for the measure. He would not, however, discuss the question at that moment, and therefore would proceed at once to the bill before the house. The measure had undoubtedly been ma terially im proved in committee, as his noble friend and relat ion (the -Earl of Longford) had states,' in some material points; but there still remained much objectionable matter in the bill, and much to which he was decidedly opposed in principle. Although, however, he disapproved of many of the provisions of the bill; it was impossible for him, with the opinions which, he enter tained of the necessity that existed for some •measiire of this description, to concur inn vote against the third reading 4 the the bill. The rpore he considered the situation of the church of Ireland the more he was convinced of the ti etessity'of agree= ing to the present measure in the absence of a better. For the present, the bill would give the church breathing time, and en able it to continue its beneficial Jahours for some time longer. Many persons thought that as the bill was not likely, to pro duce all the benefit which the noble lords opposite predicted, it ought upon principle to be opposed, but his opinion was that they ought to do that which was best for the church, and which would enable it to continue in existence. (Hear, hear.) On the question that the bill be now read a thirtlime, there appeared — Contents present Proxies 70 Not contents present Proxies 81 Majority for the third reading —s4 On our readmission into the gallery we found Earl GREY moving a clause by way of rider to the bill, which was agreed to, and the bill was then passed. Adjourned to Thursday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY, JULY 30. The gallery was opened at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock. SLAVERY ABOLITION BILL. The house having resolved itself into committee on this bill, Mr. STANLEY said that all the remaining clauses having re ference to the money clause, he should; iu pursuance - of the understanding come to last night on the Subject, move that the 25th clause be now read. . Sir E. WILMOT rose for the purpose of moving the amend ment of which he had given notice, that.the.surn of £15,000,000 be substituted for £20,000,000. He denied that he was con nected with any party either in or out of that house. lie op posed the grant of £f20,000,000 on two grounds; first, because the covenant agreed on by the resolution . for the immediate abolition of negro slavery was not complied with ; and, secondly, because the additional £5,000,000 proposed 'tei he given to ob tain the concurrence of the West India body bad failed to produce the effect intended. Mr. O'CONNELL, addressing the chairman of the committee, inquired if he possessed an equal privilege with.the Speaker .to order the gallery to be cleared of strangers. (Laughter.) The Cu Aursi AN said, if any hon. member chose to declare that be saw strangers in the gallery, it certainly became his impera tive duty to order the gallery to be cleared. Mr. O'CONNELL said, then he should not look that way just now (loud laughter), as his object had been, attained. He thought the house would have been placed in a very unpleasant predicament with regard to the standing orders . if he had exer cised the privileges of every member of that house, and as there had been an avowal that the people were suffered to report, jus tice would be done. He did not wish to allude to the scurnions manner in which that avowal had been .made, .but if any hon. member wished to see an excellent specimen of scurrity, he had only to read The Times newspaper of that day: He il dd.not think that promise would be kept, because, as designedly false reports had been given, they would still continne. He then proceeded to the consideration of the question before the house, and eulogized in very warm terms the character and conduct of Mr. Stephen, who, he said, had been very isistruna,kottikl-iu-obtain ing the emancipation of the ne'roes. He would now come to.the question of the £20,0000,600. He did not know on what the ques tion of the£2o,ooo,ooo was to rest. Could the people of England af ford that sum ? They had sent their representatives to,that house for the purpose of making reductions, and they bad scarcely made one at present. The house had refused to reduce the malt tax, at least it had recalled its vote on that subject (hear, hear) ; it had refused to abolish the assessed taxes (hear) ; in short, it had refused to diminish the great burdens of the people. (He ar.) And the ground on which it had refused to du so was, .that the government could not afford to do so. Why then, he w ould ask, were those burdens to be increased? flow were they w to be provided for before so large a su m as £20,000,000 as granted? The people had a right to know how it was to be provided for. In conclusion, the hon. and learned gentleman, in the name of the people of England, protested ae . ainst the grant of .C 20,000,600, and stated, that in doing so, he telt it to be his duty to vote against it. Mr. STANLEY felt assured that no pecuniary sacrifice the nation could make at the national cost could be so injurious as the sacrifice of the national honou r. Neither of the two honourable members who had spoken on this subject had stated any ground whatever why £ 15 , 000 , 000 sh o u l d be preferred to £20,000,000, which certainly the house had 'a ri 'right to expect. They had already sanctioned that `1:20;01)0,000 should be the sum, for, upon the division, the proposition then was, that it should be £15,000,000. Now, having since 'that. taken off the five - years, it was too much to expect that the lukie would can cel that vote without one single argument having been advanced to justify such a proceeding. The house - wont recollect the mannerin'which the government had= been - attacked, and ac cused of breaking faith, for agreeing to tike shortening of the apprenticeship—a thing to which they were given by the force of public opinion. (Cheers.) His honour ti•ti's , ptc4,•etl, and he felt it was his duty to give it all the opposition. in his power. Mr. BUXTON, after passing a high eulogium on Mr. Stephen, proceeded to say that there was not one clause in the bill, how ever curious it might appear, that he would support with more pleasure than the grant of E. 20,000,000 ; and it any degree of reproach attached to those who voted for it, he was prepared to take his share. The amount was far• surpassing, what he thought the actual value of the slaves; and if the government were only to wait till next year, they might buy emancipation at a quarter of the present price ; but then in what state would the colonies be ? He supported the grant for tbig reason : if emancipation was not given, more than ;€720,000,000: would be spent in military preparations ; and; what was worse; it wou ld be against men who wer e merely welling their natural rights. The discussion was continued until near three o'clock, when the Chairman reported progress, and asked leave. to sit. again. Mr. STANLEY expressed a hope-that in consideratiOn of the importance of the subject hon. members who had motions to make would permit the adjourned discussion on the•lnil to take precedence. The Speaker vacated the chair at three o'clock. The house resumed at five o'clock. In answer to a question put by Mr. O'Connell, respecting the ..WN ,\ ,
