BRANCHES. Their Lordships met at eleven o'clock. Mr. R. M. Stephenson, civil engineer, was called this morning for the purpose of showing the amount of traffic which might be expected upon this line, if constructed. Ke stated that in the district through which the line would pass there were 400 works, consisting of iron furnaces, coal pits, &c. Of this number, 50 would be accommodated by the existing Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, leaving 350 to be accommo dated by the present proposed line. Of this number, returns had been made from 230, showing that the ac tual payments made by them for the carriage of material was 80,792/. That return did not include the amount paid by the works of Mr. Foster, at Stourbridge, which *at gentleman stated in his evidence to be about 1,5001. There were then one hundred and twenty works re in aining, from which no returns had been made, but, to king them at the same averages which had been made, tike income derivable by the company from them would be 42,0001., or making a total altogether of about 1.37,0001. from works located upon the line for carriage )f materials alone. And, taking into consideration the :fact that one fourth of that traffic would be distant taaffic, averaging sixty miles, that would increase the revenue from th at source from 137,0001. to 182,0001. ' the average distance which goods would be conveyed mpon the whole line would be about five miles, the c iharge for Which, deducted from the above sum, and a f so making due allowance or the traffic, which would sti 11 be accommodated by of the canal, the net in likely to be mes as of about the carriage co me of raw materials would he beli b :vettl, 30,000 Z The p issenger traffic would, he the ex aoyf the corn pe nses of working the line.

Brunel and Mr. Stephenson were examined, and th • Committee adjourned until Monday, HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP VI. traur WESTERN (BEERS AND RANTS EXTENSION). Th Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock. ' Mr. MILFORD appeared as counsel for Mr. Cuming ton, and stated that it was his intention to call Mr. G. Edwards, for the purpose of proving that a better line than that now proposed could have been adopted by the Great Western Company. lle distinctly stated that he did not oppose the line in connexion with any other company, but it was a sincere and bona fide attempt on the part of his client to induce the Great Western Com pany to postpone a portion of the proposed line to a future session of Parliament. Mr. Edwards then handed in some plans and sec tions, showing that a better line could be constructed in a different direction, without doing any injury to the property of Mr. Cumington. In his cross-examination by Mr. ALEXANDER, the witness admitted that the line, if taken in that direction, would add a mile and a half to the distance. He did not know where Mr. Cumington's land was. The CHAIRMAN stopped the further cross-examina tion, and decided that they could not enter further into the case. BRISTOL AND EXETER (TAUNTON AND CASTLE CART BRANCH). The Committee then proceeded to hear Mr. Webster, on behalf of the Rev. Mr. Thring, whose property would be affected by the proposed line. In consequence of the House sitting at twelve, the Committee rose at the conclusion of Mr. Webster's address, and the Committee stood adjourned till twelve to-morrow. worth more than 51 per ton. In Rape Seed little has been done, and prices are on the decline. TURPENTINE.—spirits have been extensively dealt in, in consequence of further reduced rates having been accepted, and 37s to 38s is the value of British; there is, however, yet a large supply; of Rough some parcels have been sold at 9s. The value of Tar is 20s to 20s 6d, but at these high rates there are not many buyers. `Pool..—There has been a brisker demand for colonial at the public sales, and which are still in progress, but prices show a decline, as compared with those of the last auctions, of Id to lid, as the quantity to be offered is yet large. In other kinds the operations are upon a more extended scale, but not at higher rates. Ou.s.—There has been more activity in the market for Olive Oil this week, and holders have obtained prices they could not previously. A fair quantity has been disposed of, but the home trade have been chiefly opera tors. Some parcels have been received, and prices are yet much above those of that time last year. The con sumption, however, continues to be large. Of Palm further parcels have been imported, yet former rates are sustained, and a good demand has been experienced. Cocoa Nut is still brought sparingly to market, and being much wanted, prices range high. For auction 100 tons fine Cochin are declared. Although there are sellers of Rape Seed Oil upon further reduced terms ; still the purchases made have been upon a moderate scale only. Linseed Oil has been in excellent request. for home con sumption, and in consequence of the limited supply, buyers have been compelled to pay further advanced rates. For forward delivery there are few buyers at present to be met with. A fair quantity has been dis posed of for exportation. Lard Oil has been operated in with caution. There have been several arrivals of Fish Oils since this day week, and the trade showing not mach desire to do business, prices continue on the de cline. Cod met with little attention. This afternoon at public sale 74 tons of Sperm Oil mostly sold at 851 to 87/, and Headmaster 871; 100 tuns of Southern sold at better prices, that is to say from 22115 s to 251 lOs for low to fine.

THE SUN LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1847. He, therefore, after what had happened, objected to any concession being now made to the City. The river ought not to be entirely left in the bands of the Corpora• tion ; it was a public concern, and ought to be managed for the public. But it had been hitherto eniirely neglected, as the evidence given last year most fully showed. The Hon Gentleman continued to quote from the evi dence of last year, to show the disgraceful state of the River Channel. He added, that it was a disgrace to London, and the City Corporation, in the way they had acted, were guilty of an insult. Time after time, impe diments and delays were being experienced, and yet the City had done absolutely nothing. If malt were imported by the river Lea it would be free of charge altogether, but if it came by shipping it was subjected to a heavy charge. Now, he would ask, was not that a monstrous absurdity, and ought it to be tolerated any longer ? (LEFT SPEARING.) THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) FOREIGN-OFFICE, JUNE 22.

Mr. Waddington, Q.C., appeared on behalf of the Crown; Mr. Kinglake for the defendant. The court was this day crowded to excess, from the knowledge that the important question was to be raised as to whether the privileges enjoyed by members of th• Vintners' Company could legally be used by the keepers of the various night saloons throughout the metropolis. Mr. WADDINGTON having shortly etailed the facts, Mr. Sillifant, a supervisor of excise, stated that on the sth of May last he went to the premises named in the in formation, where he was served with foreign wine by a female behind a bar, for which he paid, and drank it on the premises. Mr. Coghill, the poor-rate collector for St. Paul's, Covent-garden, proved that he received the rates from Mr. Lipman. He never knew such a name as Harper. He had lately been applied to to change the receipts for the rates, to have the name of Harper inserted, which he refused to accede to. This was the case on the part of the Crown. Mr. KINGLAILE contended that no case had been made out against Mr. Lipman, as it had not been proved that the defendant had anything to do with the sale of the wine. The certificate of a member of the Vintners' Company was put in, but it proved nothing, Mr. Martin, the clerk of the company, stating that there were several Harpers belonging to the company ; but he was not prepared to identify Mr. Harper who was alluded to in these pro ceedings. 2d Dragoons—Cornet Edward Amphlett to be Lieutenant, by purchase, vice Carruthers, who retires ; D e v ereux P.

THE FRENCH HOTEL, LEICESTER-PLACE. Antonio Gramara, hotel keeper, of Leicester-place, Leicester-square, was charged on a similar information. The Court gave judgment, remarking that, as the defendant had several times been before them, they should inflict the full penalty of 100/. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a young man, named Henry Hubbard, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of John Forrester, upon suspicion of having committed a forgery upon Glyn's banking-house. Mr. William Thomas, clerk and cashier at the banking house, stated that on the 19th of June, at half -past four or a quarter to five o'clock, a cheque for 140/. was pre sented to him over the counter by a youth who appeared to be 15 or 16 years of age. Witness paid the cheque in two 501. notes, the numbers of which were 90,858 and 84,837, and the date 6th January, and in 40 sovereigns. Mr. John Fenton, of 79, Mark-lane, wine -merchant, stated that he kept an account at Messrs. Glyn's, and the prisoner was his clerk. Witness had been in the con stant habit of seeing the prisoner write, and believed the writing in the cheque to be the prisoners.' No portion of the cheque was in witness's handwriting. The prisoner frequently filled up documents for witness at the Cus tom-house, but could not have access tohis cheque-book, which he always kept locked in his drawer. Witness frequently left out a cheque in a drawer in the counting house, filled up for any person to whom it was to be delivered. Mr. R. J. Sykes, clerk in the issue department of the Bank of England, stated that he paid gold for the note numbered 84,837, for 501., to a youth, who, he believed, wrote the name on it at the counter. John Forrester, the officer, stated that he apprehended the prisoner in Mr. Fenton's counting-house, and found on him some pieces of paper on which Mr. Fenton's name had been imitated in pencil and in ink, At the request of Mr. Bush, the solicitor to the Com mittee of Bankers for Protection from Felonies and Frauds, the prisoner was remanded. Thomas Smith was charged with haring stolen a number of coffee-warrants. The prisoner was remanded. LAMBETH. RAISING THE WIND TO ATTEND A MA SQUERADE.—• Mary Taylor and Elizabeth Taylor, two well-dressed young women, the former the wife of a respectable engraver, and the latter her sister-in-law, were placed at the bar, before Mr. Norton, on the following charge: On the preceeding afternoon the prisoners entered the shop of Mr. Frazer, a baker in the Wandsworth-road, and called for two half-quartern loaves, and tendered a sovereign in payment. Mrs. Frazer gave change of the sovereign, keeping a shilling out of it in payment for the bread. The prisoners objected to pay 10d. for the two half-quartern loaves, and also said they preferred country bread; upon which Mrs. Frazer gave them back the sovereign, and they returned what she conceived to be the whble of the change she had given them, and left the shop. They had not gone many minutes, when Mrs. Frazer, suspecting all was not right, she counted the silver the prisoners had returned, and found it to be five shillings short. She then went in search of the prisoners, and saw them about to enter the passage leading to the steam-boat pier, Nine Elms. She charged them with robbing her of five shillings, when one of them, ad dressing the other, exclaimed, " You know you have taken it by mistake, give it back to the lady." They then gave Mrs. Frazer two half-crowns back; but a police constable coming up at the time, took them into custody, and took possession of the two half-crowns. After leaving the shop of Mrs. Frazer, the prisoners went into the shop of Mr. Walters, a cheesemonger in the same neighbourhood, and by a similar trick " pinched " half a-crown, but Mr. Walters having discovered the fraud immediately after they left his shop, brought them back, and one of them placed a half-crown on the counter, where it was found. Having no doubt, however, that they were dishonest characters, Mr. 'Walters sent a con stable to watch their proceedings. When taken into custody, the prisoner Mary charged Elisabeth with tak ing the money, and therefore that it was her fault, and the latter retorted and said that the offences had been committed by Mary for the purpose of enabling her to have a dress in Oakley-street to appear at the masque rade at Vauxhall Gardens. Mr. Games addressed the magistrate at some length on behalf of the prisoners, who, he said, were very respectable, and had no necessity to resort to dishonest practices. Sergeant Emmerson here informed the magistrate that the prisoners had been brought to the Clapton station on a charge similar to the present, but it seemed they ma naged to settle the matter with the prosecutor, and the charge was not pressed against them. Mr. NORTON thought the case was one which he should send before a jury, and committed the prisoners for trial. Deputy-Inspector-General, with local rank, John Kinnis, M.D., to be Deputy-Inspector-General of Hospitals, vice Franklin, promoted, June 25. Staff Surgeon of the First Class Andrew Fergusson, M.D., to be Deputy Inspector General of Hospitals, with local rank, vice Kinnis, appointed Deputy Inspector General of Hos pitals, June 25.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(THIS DAY.) The following Bills were passed by the Earl of Shaftesbury : Edinburgh and Northern Railway (Improvement of the ferry between Ferry Port on Craig). East Lancashire (deviations and Rawtenstall Coal 4 Branch). Midland Railway (Masborough and Normanton Stations Enlargement.) York and North Midland (Knottingley Branch). Edinburgh and Northern Railway, St. Andrew's and Newburgh Harbour, Branches and Road Crossings (Newport Railway Extension). Northern Counties Union Railway (Deviations).

WESTMINSTER HALL.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the King and Queen of the Belgians, and suite, inspected the cartoons in Westmin ster Hall this afternoon. Her Majesty remained some time in the Hall, and afterwards spent a few minutes in the House of Lords. The prosecutor in this case was Monsieur Encoutier, a merchant residing in Paris, and the defendant Monsieur Fonteine de Morcean, who carries on the business of a patent agent in London. The indictment charged the defendant with having on the 18th February, 1846, com mitted wilful and corrupt perjury, by making an affidavit in which he stated that the prosecutor was indebted to him in the sum of 544, knowing at the same time that there was no ground whatever for such a statement. It appeared that in 1844 the prosecutor had certain transactions with the defendant, relative to the procuring of some patents in this country, and also relative to the disposal of some brandy which had been entrusted to the care of the defendant. A dispute arose between the prosecutor and the defendant concerning the charges made by the latter, particularly with regard to two items of 271. 2s. 10d. and 11/. 12s. ld., the expenses in curred by landing the brandies at Nicholson's wharf, and for which the defendant contended he was liable. It was agreed by the parties that the brandies should be entered in the name of a third party, a friend of the pro secutor, who should become liable for those last two amounts, and with that and some other reductions the prosecutor settled the defendant's account. Subsequently, however, a claim was made by the defendant of 541., which included these two sums, and when the prosecu tor visited this country again in February, 1846, the defendant made an affidavit for the purpose of holding him to bail for the amount. The jury, after an investigation which lasted the whole of the day, returned a verdict of Guilty.—Sentence deferred. FINING JURYMEN. No less than eight special jurymen were ordered by Lord Denman to be fined 101. each for non-attendance. New Dollars .... • . 0 4 91( Portugal Gold Coin .. 0 0 0 Spanish Doubloons .. 0 0 0 Silver lu bars ...... • . 0 4 11 34 SUGAR.—To-day importers of Raw Sugar were stik willing sellers, and in some instances actually further reduced their prices; the consequence was that there was a good demand from the home trade, and exporters pur chased a fair quantity. Of West India Muscovado the private sales amounted to 310 hhds and trcs at rather lower rates, making the fall for the week is to is 6d per cwt. REPINED.—To- day there was a brisker demand for Refined goods from the home trade, in consequence of 58s to 59s being taken for brown, and 59s 6d to 60s for Standard Lumps. The market for Bonded Crushed Sugar is quiet at 33s 6d. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was not much desire shown to operate in Mauritius Sugar, and 460 bags at auction were only in part sold at the reduced rates previously q uo t e d, viz., fine brown 38s, middling 40 to 41s, good middling 425, washed 36s to 41s, and syrupy 37s to 40s. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was not much in demand, and 1,00 bags at auction went at barely former rates. FOREIGN.--To-day two cargoes of yellow llavannah ' were sold privately at 25s 6d to 26s per cwt. MOLASSES.—There are sellers of West India of low to fine quality at 18s to 225, but few buyers are to be met with. The stock continues on the increase, and is far greater than it was last season. In East India little business has been done, and prices are on the decline. COFFEE.—This afternoon at public sale 481 bags and 3 casks of Ceylon were offered, and all sold at about former rates. Jamaica was not much in request, and 129 casks at auction were only in part sold at about former rates, good middling 81s to 83s, middling 675, low middling 57s 6d to 61s Gd, fine fine ordinary 523 6d to 535, good and fine ordinary 41s 6d to 465, triage 31s to 395, superior quality was taken in at 90s per cwt. COCOA.—The market for British Plantation is in a dull state, and prices are on the decline; whilst the arrivals are on the increase and amount to 900 pkgs since this day week. At public sale 605 bags Trinidad were only in part sold. A further fall in the value is looked for, as there is a large quantity to arrive. Foreign is dull of sale, and previous rates are not ob tainable. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Messengers from the House of Commons — brought up several Bills. HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL. Earl FORTESCUE presented several petitions in favour of the Health of Towns BilL QUALIFICATION OF PEERS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Earl of ROSEBERY moved the second reading of this Bill ; and in doing so took occasion to describe the mode of electing representative Peers of Scotland. After a few words from Lord MoNTEAGLE, — EOrd DINMAN, and Lerd BROUGHAM, The Bill was read a second time. The Usher of the Black Rod having announced a Message from the Commons, ' The LORD CHANCELLOR proceeded to put the usual question, " that the messengers be called in," when Lord BROUGHAM said that he thought the waste of time called for by this absurd mummery ought really to be put an end to. He thought that their Lordships ought to adopt the same mode with respect to Bills com ing from the House of Commons as that House did with respect to Bills from this House—viz., the mode of re ceiving Bills by a list. The N o bl e L or d also gave notice that he would bring the whole subject before the House on Monday. The messengers were then called in according to the old ceremony. RAILWAY ACCOMMODATION BETWEEN LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM. Lord REDESDALE postponed his motion, " That the Railway Commissioners be directed to into the ac • commoaation afforded by the several lines of railway now open or in the course of construction, or projected, bitiween London and Birmingham, and :to report to this House early in the ensuing session of Parliament in what manner they are of opinion that the interests of the public may he most effectually secured in regard to such lines, and whether it is expedient that the broad guage should be extended to Birmingham ; and if so, in what manner such an arrangement can be carried into effect with the least interference with existing interests, and with the system of railway communication as set tled by the Act for regulating the gauge of railways. and what conditions it would be desirable to annex to any permission granted to the Great Western or other railway company to lay down a broad gauge contrary to the provisions of the said Act. OXFORD AND BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL. _ _ The Earl of DEVON then brought forward the mo tion of which he had given notice, to refer the petition of the chairman of the Oxford and Birmingham Junc tion, and the Birmingham and Wolverhampton and Dudley Railway Companies (presented to this House on the 17th instant), to the Select Committees on Standing Orders, with instructions to the said Com mittee to report their opinion whether in the case of the Birmingham and Oxford. and Birmingham Wolverhampton and Dudley Railways Amalgamation Bill, it may not be expedient, under the peculiar circum stances of the case, to dispense with tho proof of the standing order 220 sec. 6, which requires that the said Bill should be submitted to a special meeting of the pro prietors of the Birmingham and Oxford Railway, and that the said Committee do proceed at their meeting on Tuesday next, to ascertain whether the other stand ing orders applicable to the said Bill have been complied with, and to report their decision thereon forthwith to the House." (LEFT SITTING.), HOUSE OF COMMONS The House resumed at Five o'clock. The Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the bar and summoned the House to the bar of the House of Lords to hear the Royal Assent given to several Bills (for which see Lords' report). CROWLAND AND COWBITT DRAINAGE BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. INVERNESS HARBOURS BILL. This Bill was also read a third time and passed. The Leeds Waterworks Bill (No. 2), and Lytham Im provement Bill were both read a third time and passed. The report on the Eastern Counties Railway (Ilford to Tilbury Fort and Southend, with a Branch from Vange to Battle-bridge), was brought up. The reports on the Kingston-upon-Hull Dock Com pany, and Liverpool Insurance Company Bills, were further considered. THAMES CONSERVANCY BILL. Mr. WARD rose to move the recommittal of this Bill. He said a Bill on this subject was brought on at an early period of this session, the object of which was to disjoin the interests of the Corporation and the Crown on the Thames Conservancy. The Hon. Gen tleman then went into the details of the Bill at con siderable length. It would be necessary to make an outlay of 45,0001. on the improvement of the river. The gentlemen who had been consulted on the ques tion in the city concurred in the terms proposed by this Bill, but the great difference was as to the constitution of the Conservancy Board. That board was to consist of nineteen members, it being proposed to infuse new blood into the management. It was proposed that ten of these should be appointed by the City, the rest by Government, but to that proposi tion the City would not accede. It was then pro posed that these should be appointed subject to a veto on the part of the Crown. An Hon. Member of the Committee had said, that that proposal having been made, it was inconsistent with the dignity of that House to make a second 'proposal, but he was happy to state that the city had wisely recon sidered that decision, and at a meeting at Covent garden, a resolution in conformity with such a change of opinion had been passed. Mr. HUME said that he did not think that the Com mon Council of the City of London were the proper parties to undertake the clearing of the river ; he thought that the responsibility ought to rest upon a much higher power than that of a self-elected corn muity such as the Common Council. It gave them a control over the property on the Thames from the mouth up to the Nore. It was proposed to the Common Council that one-third of the committee should be chosen by the Crown from parties in terested in the Thames, but after a long debate the Common Council refused that offer. He thought that it was beneath the House of Commons to enter into any such arrangements as those which had been proposed. For what was it proposed, according to Mr. Walker's suggestions, to entrnst the expenditure of 500,0001. to a self-elected body, who might, after all, reject the proposition of the Committee, and he did think, therefore, that it was un worthy of the dignity of the House to re-commit the Bill to the same Committee as that which had pre viously sat upon the subject. In 1836 there had been a similar Committee, and they had reported strongly !totuflogeatnithnherse read di he measures which were at that ti me a d o pted in the Gov ernment o f t h e r i ver, and it would appear that considerabl e l oss o f lif e had ensued in consequence effect c feer h o i tm e ft that h ar a te t pt t ohe existed.hretnocfonth a e i Co m m i tteetei n g The interestsHe o n n . ti G hne e t n shu tl eb e jc m eoc a nt n : eenatioy of the River were injurious to the naviirtinn. 0 0 31E310RANDUM.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 21.—1 n nearly the whole of the environs of Brussels they are busily engaged in cutting the hay, which has scarcely ever been so fine. It is long, very full, and extremely tender, so that it will form excellent fodder for horses. The farmers, how ever, complain that the weather is not very favour able for making it; it requires a few days of sun and heat, while during the last eight days the weather has been rather cold, and cloudy, with occasional rain. The wheat is full of bloom and the grain is already formed in the:ears of rye. With regard to the patatoes, it has been generally remarked throughout the environs of Brussels that there were some fissures in the leaf, but this however has in no way impeded the vigorous growth of the plant ; besides, this symptom which bears no resemblance to that of the preceeding years has al ready disappeared. ANTWERP, JUNE 22.—There is a good deal more acti vity in the corn m ar k et , and somewhat of a decline in the wheat and b ar l ey ; there was a e at demand for the latter, and about 5,000 hectolitres w ere disposed of. Wheat was no less in demand. gr ROTTERDAM JUNE 22.—The arrivals of wheat from Zealand, Facke, &c., have received a farther check in the prices—superior, 19f. 80c. to 20f. 20c., fine, 19f. 30c. to 19f. 60c. Of rye a large supply, but not much in demand, as the sellers maintained the former high prices, none but necessary purchases were made. CRICKET. THE GENTLEUEN OF KENT AND THE GENTLIVEN ENGLAND.—This interesting rivalry, which occupied the attention of the cricketing world, at Lord's, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, was brought to a close on the last named day. Space forbids further detail than that on the first day England had scored 181 against 183 of Kent. On Tuesday the match was resumed before an increased assem blage, England going in for a second hands, and when " time " was called bad scored 201, with two wickets to go down. Wednesday opened with England adding 24 to its score, as will be seen by the subjoined state of the numbers at the "close of the poll." England—First innings, 181; second, 225. Kent--First innings, 180; second, 67. England, therefore, won by 156 runs. BLACKIIIA.TII (DARTMOUTH) v. CLArua.m.—This annual contest came off yesterday at Blackheath, when the result was the defeat of the former upon the first innings by 77 runs. Both sides were short of their number. Dartmouth—First innings, 92 ; second, 98. Clapham-169. There were seve ral catches not taken on either side. BMTCHERS' CHA.P.ITABLE CLUB v. THE WESTERN.—A friendly match between these clubs was brought to a deci sion yesterday, at the beautiful ground of the institution, Walham-green. The butchers opened the ball by sending Messrs. Smithers and Stent to the wickets, who were seve rally bawled for 0 and 1; Mr. Busher took the bat, and ran up the score by 22, when he was caught by Mr. Welborne from a ball of Mr. Hands. The last wicket fell fur 39, of which there was one side ball.

IMPOSITION.--This week a respectable-looking old man, who pretended to be a lecturer on " Philology and the powers of the human mind," called upon several par ties in town, representing that he had engaged a public room, and intended to deliver a course of lectures on the above topics. A number of perLons bought tickets, but on their arrival at the room in which the lectures were announced to be delivered in, they found that they had been duped out of their money, the room never having been taken for such a purpose.—Glasgow Post.

Earl DEVON presented a petition from the chair man and directors of this railway, denying that they had fraudulently kept back scrip certificates at the meetings which had led to the recent proceedings. The Noble Earl stated that he should to-morrow bring for ward a motion on the subject. PORTPATRICK AND DONAGHADEE. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY wished to ask the Noble Lord at the head of the Admiralty the opinion of the Government respecting the suitability of Portpatrick and Donaghadee as harbours of refuge, and what were the intentions of the Government with respect to them. Lord AUCKLAND was understood to say that the subject was under the consideration of the Government, and he had no doubt that when the means of railway communication wer© appended to those parts, the Government would undertake to complete the harbours. BISHOPRIC OF MANCHESTER. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the order of the day for bringing up the report on this Bill. Lord REDESDALE moved as an amendment the omission of the second clause. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the Noble Lord was two early with his amendment. The Bishop of Bangor had an amendment before him. The Bishop of BANGOR then rose to introduce the amendment of which he had given notice. The Bishop of LONDON opposed it. The amendment was negatived, the report received, and the third reading fixed for Monday next. TIC CASE m oF ouvr E , REV. M. presented l rrLE a W p J 4 tl 4 On for the Rev. M. Kettlewell, Master of the Endowed School of Clonmel, and moved for some returns with respect to certain property in connexion therewith. The petitioner, as we understood, complained of the conduct of the solicitor to the Commissioners of Schools in dis missing him from his situation. The Noble Lord entered into some particulars of the case, but was per fectly inaudible in the gallery. The Archbishop of DUBLIN stated, that he knew nothing whatever of the matter, except what he had heard through his chaplain, and as one of the Commis sioners of the National Board of Education, he had no objection to the production of the papers. After a few words from the Earl of MOUNTCASHEL and Lord MONTEAGLE, the motion was agreed to. DUBLIN MENDICITY SOCIETY. The Archbishop of DUBLIN presented a petition from the Mendicity Society of Dublin, praying their Lordships to address the Crown to institute an inquiry into their mode of affording relief, as contrasted with the mode adopted under the poor-law. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. CEMETERIES BILL. On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, this Bill was read a third time, and passed. LEITH HARBOUR BILL. This Bill was read a second time. Several other Bills were also forwarded a stage, and Their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 24. BATTERSEA PARK. Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to ask the Noble Lord at the head of the Woods and Forests when there was any intention of proceeding with the forma tion of Battersea Park and Gardens? Lord MORPETH said that they had found it neces sary to await the verdict of the jury impannelled to ascertain the value of certain portions of the property, and as soon as that was obtained they would proceed. IRISH RELIEF FUND. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that, to-morrow, he should move for the intro duction of certain measures, with a view to recover the money lent for the support of the destitute persons in Ireland.—(Loud laughter.)

POOR-LAW A MEN DMENT. Lord SANDON moved the order of the day for the third reading of this Bill, when, Mr. WAKLEY begged to say, that whenever the dis cussion on this Bill came on, he should feel it his duty to move that it be read this day three months. POOR-LAW ADMINISTRATION BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of the Poor-law Administration Bill being read, Mr. WAKLEY rose an d sa id th a t, such was his objection to the present Bill, that it was his intention to divide the House upon his motion that it be read this day three mouths. He had given notice of that motion already, and, he would say, a more unconstitutional and cruel Bill could not be introduced into the House. He believed, also, that its operation would be attended with the most disastrous consequences to the interests of the poor and the character of the Legislature. He was of opinion that Hon. Members had been confiding in the Legislature without looking at the provisions of the Bill. When it was first introduced they were desired to wait until they should see what would be done with it in Committee. But now it had gone through Committee, and it was as objectionable now as it was in the first instance, not one of the obnoxious clauses had been re pealed. It was still as tyrannical and as cruel a law as ever disgraced the statute book. The Bill was nothing more th a n an attempt to maintain the poor-law enactment and the Poor law Commissioners, whose conduct had been con demned by all parties except the Ministers. He did not believe that it was possible that under this the poor could obtain justice from that House. The measure was one of the most unfortunate propositions that could have been made to that assembly. The poor-law was to have diminished crime, to decrease the expenditure falling upon the parish, and remove many of the existing evi ls ' and he asked the House had it accomplished a ny one 01 those objects? The facts when as ce rt a i ne d s how th at seven-eighths of the relief is administered out of doors. The Act of 1834 has entirely failed. Had the deta ils now existing been foreseen in that year as the effects of the Bill then proposed, all England to a man, would have risen against it. Yet all these details were to be sanctioned by the Bill now on the table. Why, i n the old days of the Tory and Whig, and the unreformed Parliament, they would never have tolerated such a Bill' This Bill proposed that the president of the poor-law board should have a seat in that House as well as the secretary. Under this regulation, the solicitor, clerk, and other officers of a board of guardians would do all in their power to obtain political power, and the effect of that would be, that attention would be withdrawn from their legitimate function-- that of relieving the poor, and directed to purposes gether extraneous. It was said that the law wor ked alto re markably well, but the fact was that the law was made a dead letter, and th en it was ex pected that it worked remarkably well. In th e Andover Union the poor were literally starved.—(Cries of " H ear, hear. h?

The ben for Wolverhampton, and the Noble Lord , the Ble m very but London, defend e d the Poor-law Commissionery m uch there was a circtunatance which detracted ve Lor d oble from that defence, which was, that both the N lated and the Hon. Merriber for Wolverhampt on, were re ..0 to one of the Goramissioners. The late Secretary t,,r, the Home Department also defended them, but he did not attach much weight to his defence, as the Hoe- t . Member for Dorchester had denied all acquaintance 10_11 the transactions of the Commissioners at the time they occurred, and now he said that he was cognizant of them, and approved of them. The Right Hon. Baronet also said in the course of his speech, that the Hon. Member for Weymouth had made an ample apology to him, in reference to certain state ments. Now he (Mr. Ferrand) wished the Right Hon. Baronet would :act in a similar manner towards him, and apologise for the many erroneous statements which he had made with regard to him. lie had not, however, acted in that honourable and gentlemenly manner, but said, " I had appealed to Caesar, and to Caesar I should go." (Laughter.) Now, the Right Hon. Baronet stated on the 28th of January last, that in six weeks from that time the trial should bat it e place; a it was now the 24th of June, and nothing had been done yet. He had, however, received a notice a short time ago from his solicitor, that Lord Denman had inti mated that the tr ial could not come on before December or February next. Such, therefore, was the position in which he now stood, and all he could do was to complain of the postponing and procrastination wh ich had taken place. The Noble Lord at the head of a ir. Government state d on a former occasion that he (Mr. Ferrand) had man le statements to the House which were. utterly unfoundk , . Now, he denied having done so, and he was prepared to stand by anything he had said. What statement la ad he ever made that had been refuted? When he called. upon the Noble Lord at the time he made such an as sertion to name one, he could not do II till he was prompted by the Hon. Gentleman the Mew't her for Wolverhampton. He then attempted, ot parro do .E. like, to repeat the words again, but he could n 1 He at length, however, said that he (Mr. Ferrand) bad stated that the Poor-law Commissioners delighted to murdering children. Now he (Mr. Ferrand) denied that he had ever said uny such thing. He never s aid so; he now called u p on the Government to tell t h e House it that was the way in which they oug ht to have acted. s uch He would ask them if th ey were now go ing to pass a law without giving some guaran t ee that the aged an: infirm of this muntry would be protecte d from the cruelties which b.ad been hitherto practised upon there ' He would ask th e N o bl e L or d if b e was aware that there were tens of thot isands of the aged and infirm who were convicted of no4:irime, but who, from the distress in which they were involved, were obliged to sell off all the little furniture they had, and seek a refuge in the union workhouse, and that, consequently, their property, their comfort, their hopes, and their liberty, were all affected by the present law. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Member for Bt Lth, who had attacked him with so much asperity w hen the question was last under discussion, said that he was willing to interfere with regard to the aged and infirm ; but he (Mr. Ferrand) wi :nted the G overnm ent to interp oce. Why if the people were to combine together against thke law they would o' rerturn the Government in a woe but there was no r e d re ss for the poor, and if he st oat up to def e nd th em h e was me t with a secret document which, if it had bee n true, would have prevented him,. from ev e r a ft er si tti ng in that House. The 43d of Elizabeth provided that labour should be found for the indigent poor. If they did so now they would have a robust labouring population. In Isis part of the country he found men begging for work, but they were refused it, because they IN ere told by the guardians that they had applied to the Poor-law Commissioners to give them the power se,' doing so, but that they had refused to accede to their request. But in how many unions were they compelled to refuse relief except within the walls of the union -workhouse. On the second reading of the Bill the Honourable and Learned Gentle man the Member for Bath taunted him with being desirous that the poor should lead a life of idleness • but no ms ,gistrate had committed more m en to the treadmill for deserting their families than be (Mr- Ferrand) had. When it was shown that they were able to work, and could have obtained it, he invariably sent them to the treadmill. But when a man had sought work, and could oiAain none, he was compelled to part with his furniture at one-twentieth part of its value, and to enter the union, to subsist upon a diet which reduced him to such a ate to of debility that lie was unable to work when he pri cured it to do. Such an inveterate dislike did the peo pie entertain to the law, that he should not be surprised if a revolution was the result.
