This Company has been formed for paving the Metropolis and twenty miles round, with wood. Specimens of the prin ciple have been laid down at Whitehall, Buckingham Palace, and:part of Oxford-street, between Wells-street and Newman street, which have proved its superiority over every other mode of wood pavement hitherto adopted. From authentic returns, it appears the paving-rates in the Metropolis alone amount to 200,000/. annually—the repairs in Oxford.street are 5,0001. per annum. The economy of wood paving on this principle, compared with every other mode, ensures to this Company an ample remuneration per square yard ; and, that their operations may be carried to any extent, it is only necessary to state that the roads in the Metropolis now paved with stone and Mac adamised comprise between five and six millions of square yards, for which there is no doubt wood will be sub stituted, removing, as it effectually does, so many long complained-of nuisances. The wear and tear of wood pave ment, on this principle, is imperceptible; and as the Company will contract to keep their pavement in repair, it is expected that, on a moderate calculation, the Company will derive, out of the large amount now paid for repairs, a net revenue of 60,000/. per annum. The present orders received by the Company amount to 20,000/. Negotiations are pending for other work to a great extent. Models and reports as to tne merits of the invention, by sur veyors and other competent persons, may be seen at the offices of the Company as above. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 22.

Gentlemen—As Surveyor to the Commissioners for Paving the Regent's-park, Regent-street, and Whitehall districts, by whose order the wood pavement on the above principle has been laid down at Whitehall, and in reply to your note requesting my opinion of its merits, I have to inform you that the work has not only given me and the Commissioners entire satisfaction, but has excited the admiration of the public generally. I have no doubt but this mode of pavement will be universally adopted, as it is not only free from noise and mud, but the wear and tear of public and other conveyances will be greatly reduced. The wood pavement laid down at Whitehall stands firmly, and is in as good condition as the first day it was laid down. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J.

This Company has obtained a grant from the Government of the Federal States of Central America of 15,000,000 acres of Virgin Lands in that country, which lies between the 15th and and 19th degrees of 'North Latitude and 88 and 92 degrees West Longitude. The Grant includes the magnificent sea-port of Santo Tomas, and Several navigable rivers ; the most important of which are the Polochic, the Motagua, and the Usumasinta, of which the Company has the exclusive right of steam navigation. Thefirst settlement is called Abbottsville, and is situated about 100 miles up the river Polochic. The climate is good and genial, and the country presents an alternation of mountain and plain, affording a choice of temperature. It abounds in minerals, many of which are of the most pre cious description; and, by the law of the Federal States, any one denouncing a mine becomes the proprietor thereof. The soil is rich to adegree unknown in Europe, and produces, amongst other things, mahogany, dyewood, Santa Maria wood, and many others of great value ; indigo, cochineal, sarsaparilla, tobacco, cocoa, coffee, cotton, sugar, rice, vanilla, Indian corn, balsam s , gums, and rugs ; likewise wheat, barley, pulse, and *ll culinary vegetables. Horned cattle, horses, mules, sheep, Poultry, game, and fish, are abundant and cheap ; and fruits in great variety and plenty. • The terms of the grant secure to the settlers the right of governing themselves, by the election, from among their own number, of municipal bodies. Trial by jury, and religious toleration, are likewise secured to them. They are authorised to embody themselves as a militia for self-defence, and to have a police under the orders of their own Magistrates, for domestic Protection. They are not subject to any taxes or contributions, except such as shall be established by themselves. There are no Game or Tithe-laws, nor any burdensome enactments whatever. They have, in fact, a country to them selves, to be regulated by their own municipal institutions. The voyage occupies from six to eight weeks.

To purchasers of land, land orders will be issued, which will entitle the holders, on the presentation of them by themselves, ft their agents, to the Company's Superintendent, to choice of location, according to their numerical order ; and, having fixed upon a site, the Company's Surveyor will forthwith run the lines, free of charge to the settler. These land orders will be transferable at the pleasure of the holders; and a registry will be kept at the Company's Office in London, and in the settlement, as well of original land orders as of transfers thereof.

MORISONIANA ; or Family Adviser of the BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, for every thing that regards preserving Health and Curing Diseases. By JAMES MORISON, the Hygeist. " Health and long life are within the reach of us all." To be had at the British College of Health, New.road; Medical Dissenter Office, 365, Strand; Mr. J. Field, 65, Quadrant, Regent-street ; Mr. J. Lofts, 3, Park-place, Mile end-road; Mr. Chappell, 84, Lombard-street ; and of - all the Agents for Morison's Medicines iw London, and throughout the Country. N.l3.—With this book in the house, and the Vegetable Universal Medicines, persons will possess all that is necessary in cases of sickness. Dr. James Hamilton concludes his work on purgative medi cines in the following important and satisfactory manner. " To conclude, the reader must have observed the beneficial effects of purgative medicines in disease• apparently different, and incident to people at various periods of life. The facts are undeniable, and serve to prove the extent and importance of the subject; but of those I do not feel it to be incumbent on me to give any explanation at present. Such an attempt might be premature. lam satisfied to have established certain lead ing facts and to have opened views, which, if properly prose cuted, must give an opportunity to extend our knowledge re specting; the utility and administration of purgative medicines. It will then be time to generalize the facts, aml to form a sys tem of medical doctrines at once char and comprehensive, and thence to deduce practical precepts, useful in proportion as they will be simple and p r ecise. When these expectati ons are fulfilled, ou r posterity may see deceptive reasoning, h ow icge_ nious soever, banished from the schools of medicine; and from the practice of the healing art, a multifarious prescription of inert and nauseous medicines." SlR,—Among the various disorders of the mouth, there is none more destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the gums causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and produces the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums which gradually waste away, and the Teeth then becoiii‘ - loose, and drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other ; in short Scurvy in the Gums affects individuals of all ages and constitutions, and if not speedily removed, will be the primary cause of Tooth- Ache and decay. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following observations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumu lation are considered, it would appear impossible that any per suasion could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great a nuisance even on their own account ; or if they are too de based to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ ing a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the senses of others, who possess more delicacy and propriety of feeling than themselves. Yet, so it is; and the sight and the smell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some people, who seem to obtrude their faces the closer:hi proportion to the disgust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199. Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth and gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To professional men, shopkeepers, and tradesmen generally, who have much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world a good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance , Besides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out of twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums, very much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony ? And how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness of the marriage state most grievously interrupted by the same cause. The inconveniences attending the Loss of Teeth are too well known to require comment ; but to those who have not expe rienced the comfort of artificial teeth, Monsieur Le D ra y i s de sirous of showing some of the difficulties store or less endured by every individual without them. When the Teeth are lost, it is impossible to make use of solid food ; and if the st omac h i s t h en loaded with pieces without being masticated, the patient is ex posed to the most distressing indigestions, the stom ac h l oses i ts power of contraction, and becomes weak in proportion as it ne longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth are gone, a great va cuum is left in the mouth, which occasions every muscle in the face to be distorted, and the whole features are completely to whi c h th e y are whethe r in, regar d to drawn from their original position. To e insist functionso n the of diimportancegestion and nd o of the articulation,teeth, so essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are so much concerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not obvious that there are many persons who never g i ve t h emse l ves the trouble to think upon the subject--who seem scarcely aware that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and culpa ble negligence renders that fact too apparent to their friends and associates. Mastication is the first process of digestion, and unless it be duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on properly. It is a mistaken notion, that the mere chopping of the food is all that is required, and that " patent masticators," or any other contrivance, can supply the place of teeth. By the motion of the maxillary bones in the communication of food, the salivary glands are compressed, and the saliva, be ing poured forth from the ducts, mingles with the food, which is turned about by the tongue until every portion of it is duly incorporated with the saliva. Then, and not till then, is it properly prepared for deglutition. So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it is sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, nervous debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rough and tinged of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips their vermillion hue, and in a word, it is no uncommon thing for the whole body to receive such a shock as to cause relaxation of the whole system ; which produces an irritable temper, quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby we become an annoyance to our friends and a burthen to ourselves. But I need not dwell upon the numberless concomitant evils which - may thus owe their origin to imperfect mastication. 'lt - is sufficient to know, that Mon sieur Le Dray's improvements will be found to be many years in advance of any system now in Europe, and that artificial teeth are brought to such perfection, as to perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to the natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They are so arranged as to restore the face to its former youthful cast, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing, away with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. And in all cases a single application is quite suf f icient to enable him to supply the loss of teeth (on his new system), without any further trouble to the Patient, or the inconvenience of a second visit. And he is a l so happy to state, that after many years of inde fatigable assiduity and close application to the mechanical branch of the profession, he has succeeded in discovering a method of supplying Teeth to persons residing at any distance by means of his newly invented preparation, which enables the Patients to take an impression of their own mouth with the greatest ease, and without causing the slightest pain or inconvenience ; so that after the model of the mouth has been received by Mons. Le Dray, he can manufacture from one to a complete set of Teeth, and return them to the parties so con structed, that they may be plaeed in the mouth by the wearer without the knowledge of a second person, being arranged on a principle yet unrivalled, rendering it impossible to dis tinguish the Artificial Teeth from the Natural ones ; answering most satisfactorily all the purposes of the original Teeth in mas tication and articulation, imparting to the countenance a younger and improved appearance, protecting the adjoining Teeth, and remaining perfectly secure in their places ; they may also be taken out and replaced with the greatest facility. It is respectfully intimated to Country Patients, however dis tant, they must please to state the number of Teeth required, whether back or front, and at the same time enclose a remit tance of a Sovereign, when the preparation for taking the model or measure of the mouth will be immediately forwarded to their addresses, together with a List of Prices. Letters must be post-paid—addressed as follows---(Money Letter) Mons. Le Dray, Surgeon Dentist, 60, Newman-street, Oxford-street, London. . . The next point of view in which we are to consider the im portance of the Teeth, is that of their connexion,with the grand prerogative of man—the gift of speech. The teeth are abso lutely essential to a perfect articulation, and are mainly con cerned in the modulation of the voice. Their preservation is, therefore, essential to all persons who do not seclude themselves from society ; for what can be more disagreeable than the mumbling which renders conversation a task, and robs it of half its charms ; unless, indeed, it be the sputtering in one's face, which sometimes accompanies the exclusive fervour of a sotto core communication. To all public speakers, whether in the senate, in the pulpit, at the bar, or on the stage, teeth, real or artificial; are a sine qua non. Without them the graces of eloquence are lost, and the powers of oratory very much diminished. No person to whom a correct articulation, and a clear im pressive delivery, are of consequence, can b e ignorant of the effect which the loss of teeth has upon the p owers of voice, ' and none -I conceive will delay to call in the aid of art • ' but it would be well if all such persons were i m p resse d with this fact beforehand, as one of the strongest inducement to bestow upon their teeth the necessary care. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stand pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of com plexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair, can render that lady beautiful, who, when she opens her lips (though they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or discoloured. On the contrary, even homely feat ures an d a sallow complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a good set of teeth. A mouth large and ill.formed will pass unnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even. On the other hand, the effects of decay, the accumu lation of tartar, the Nblhaieckheni:da acnodmmdoennudeeodneofmanigtasn, concomitant bad taint of the breath, , teeth, will invariably prove disgusting and loathsome. Regular teeth, white, and free from all extraneous matter, are an ornament, equally atractive in either sex. Those per sons who do not possess this natural advantage, should endea vour, by extreme care and cleanliness, and a ti me l y resort to artificial aid, to remedy the imperfections and supply the deft. ciencies of nature, in order that their teeth, if not an agree able object, may be prevented, as far as possible, from becom in,, a repulsive one. 'Moos. Le Dray respectfully acquaints the nobility, gentry, clergy, and inhabitants of London and its vicinity, that he con tinues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated Mineral Marmoratum, so universally recommended by the Faculty of England, France, and throughout the Continent, w hi c h sub stance he is the sole inventor and possessor of. This operation is performed without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds hardens into enamel, preventing and cur the Tooth Ache, forming a whole Tooth out of a stump, arresting all further progress of decay, allay ing in One minnte and rendering the operation of ex the most excruciating pam, traction unnecessary.

MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS. The following are the results of " A Table of Mortality for the Metropolis, showing the Number of Deaths from all Causes Registered, in the Week ending Saturday, the 16th of May, 1840." The Table is issued from the Office of the Registrar-General:— CAUSES OF DEATH. Weekly Total, Average, 1 83 t': Epidemic, Endemic, and Contagious Diseases 157 265 Diseases of the Brain, Nerves, and Senses 152 156 Diseases of the Lungs, and other Organs of Respiration Diseases of the Heart and Bloodvessels ...

Mary-le bow; Cambera ell ; Greenwich; St. Nicholas and St. Paul, Deptford; and Woolwich. The population as enu merated in 1831 was 1,494,890. The weekly average for 1838 was obtained by dividing the deaths registered in that year by 52. In comparing it with the weekly deaths in 1840, it must be borne in mind that the metropolis in creases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the population had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the deaths would have been one 27th part more numerous. •.‘ General Register-office, May 21, 1840. PARIS AND ROUEN RAILROAD. We find the following in the Courrier Francais : It is already known that the Company which is solicit ing the concession for the railway between Paris and Rouen has entered into a treaty with the company of the St. Germain line. This arrangement will be an economy of fourteen to fifteen millions of francs ; which a new ter minus in Paris would have cost, and will reduce the ca pital of the company from sixty millions to fifty millions. Some difficulty bad arisen between the Company and the Government, 'but the Minister of Public Works, appre ciating the importance :of having the aid of English ca pital in such undertakings, has honourably and resolutely removed the obstacles. We arc assured that the last propositions made by M. Jaubert were accepted on Tues day. by the representatives of the company. If we are we ll Informed, the Government will grant its assistance on the following conditions :—Of the fifty millions considered necessary for the execution of the road, the State will sub scribe for seven millions, and also lend seven millions, which will reduce the capital to be furnished by the share holders to thirty-six millions. It would, without doubt, have been better to have either lent fourteen millions to the Company, or to have subscribed for fourteen millions in shares; but the Company itself preferred the above mode of partition. It was desirous of a loan for the purpose of reducing eventually the amount of the capital, and was anxious to have the State as a shareholder, considering that such a combination would b e a guaran t ee f or th e en terprise. In the origin of the negotiations M. Jaubert stipulated for two entrances into Rouen, but he has given up this condition, after having settled that, in the event of extending the railway to Havre, the road through Rouen shall be at the joint expense of the Company and the State. Before the concession is granted the Company is to deposit one-tenth of the capital, viz., 3,600,0001. This condition, which may appear harsh to French capitalists, is an indispensable guarantee in an en terprise which is to be carried on chiefly with foreign capi tal. The tariff granted to the Company is very high ; the maximum charge to passengers is to be fifty centimes per league. This concession, however, is not a dangerous ono to the public, as the competition of the steamers will ne cessarily compel the Company to lower its tariff. In the primitive project was a branch to Evreux, in the interest of which town M. Dufaure added four millions to the Go, vernment's subvention. This branch, however, has not been surveyed, and as there has been no enquete upon it, there can be no concession. M. Jaubert has, therefore, reduced the subvent ion from 18 to 14 millions. The Companyengages to submit its statutes to the Council of Statebefore the law of concession shall h a v e received the sanct ion of the three p owers of the Legislature. It is stated that M , Jau bert will present the Bill on Monday cr Tuesday next. T he Government is negotiating at this mome nt with another company for the immediate execution of the greate r p art of the line to Belgium." flits.

The Noble Earl took the opportunity, as he had been unavoidably absent from former discussions on the Bill, of warning their Lordships against the passing of such a measure. The Bill was one which could not be safely passed, inasmuch as it could only tend to agitate and distract Ireland. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from the gardeners and growers of fruit in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, complaining of the duty on foreign fruit.

INSANE PRISONERS' CUSTODY BILL. The Marquis of NORMANBY moved that the House should resolve itself into a Committee on this Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND thought it would be better to postpone going into Committee on the measure. The Noble Duke objected to the Bill not giving sufficient power to guardians, and proposed that the Noble Marquis should introduce some change into the measure. The Marquis of NORMANBY could have no objec tion to accede to the proposition of the Noble Lord. After some immaterial alterations suggested, by various Noble Lords, the Bill passed through Committee, and the House resumed. CHURCH EXTENSION. The Bishop of LL AN DA FF rose to present the peti tion from Merthyr Tydvil, of which on a previous evening he had given notice. It was signed by 1,750 persons, they alleged their single church would contain but 1,200 persons. There was a hamlet near containing 1,200 persons, which had also but a single church, which would contain no more than 800 persons. He had some time ago requested that a place in that district, which had formerly been used for this purpose might be re-consecrated, but met with a do cided repulse. He knew many of the ironmasters and others were some of them anxious to adopt those mea sures for providing for the spiritual welfare of those who were in their employment, which their duty as Christians rendered imperative ; but there were societies formed among them who objected to their funds being appro priated for that purpose. 'There were conventicles there of various kinds, of more or less purity of doctrine ; but for one Christian establishment which was formed, there were hundreds of an immoral character, which were chiefly ori ginated by that most baneful measure, the Beer Bill. What they differed from in these Sectarians was nothing compared to those points in which they agreed ; but great discord arose from this disunion. There were some cir cumitances which entitled this country to consideration. It had not only an immense population, but this was daily increasing. In the course of ten years it was to be ex pected the increase would be much more rapid than even the enormous increase which had taken place during the same period which had just elapsed. He thought that it followed as a corollary to the prin ciple that the Church was connected with the State, that any money given by the State for the promotion of reli gion should flow in that channel. He regretted that so many petitions had been presented against Church Ex tension. He believed that those petitions had been ob tained by clamour, and he trusted that an independent legislature would act upon its own judgment, and would not he swayed by popular clamour.—( Hear, hear.) The petition was then read at length by the clerk at the table. The Marquis of BUTE thought he should fail in the duty which he owed to the Right Rev. Prelate if he did not thank him on the part of the people of Merthyr for the very kind and affectionate manner in which he had pleaded their cause. The population had of late years very much increased, but the increase did not appear from the return of 1831 to be as great as it really was. The census was taken immediately after the riots, and three or four thou sand persons were consequently absent from their homes at the time. POOR-LAW. Lord PORTM AN said he had given notice that he would this evening put a question to his Noble Friend, the Secretary for the Home Department, respecting the circular issued by the Poor-law Commissioners for the rating of stock in trade ; but he thought it would be more convenient to move for a return of the paper itself, to which his Noble Friend had no objection. In the case of the Queen against Lumsley, the Court of Queen's Bench had decided that stock in trade was liable to be rated. That decision was a revival of the 43d Elizabeth, which it had long been found impossible to carry into effect. That Bill rendered not only stock in trade, but also every inhabitant liable to be rated in proportion to his personal means ; and the difficulties which it would occasion would extend to the county rates and all other kinds of rate. The only remedy proposed for these difficulties was the clause which the Attorney-General had given notice he in tended to introduce into the Poor-law Amendment Act, for the purpose of exempting stock in trade from being rated. But there were two kinds of stock in trade—that of shopkeepers and that of farmers. The shopkeeper had not yet been rated, but the farmer had, and there was a case proceeding, the Queen against Capel, for the pur pose of establishing the liability of the farmer. These were some of the difficulties of the case as it at present stood, but it seemed to him that the remedy was altoge ther inadequate. The Poor-law Amendment Act pro vided that the County rate should in future be paid by the Board of Guardians to the Treasurer with the other rates, but then the whole abuses of the collection and levying and distribution of the rates were left as they at present stood. It might be asked what suggestion he would make to remedy these difficulties ? and he feared that in offering any suggestion he would be only laying himself open to the observations of other Noble Lords. What, however, seemed to him the most judicious vnd practicable re medy was to bring in a separate and distinct measure on the subject.—(Hear, hear, hear.) To repeal all the laws which at present existed on the subject of the assessment of property—to repeal all the laws which gave exemption to particular descriptions of property, and to embody in one statute a list of all the property to be rated, and also all the articles which were to be exempted, giving a plain and simple schedule to the rate-maker to guide him in making it. He thought they should adopt, as far as was possible, the precedent of the Irish Act, which had been very carefully framed.—( Hear, hear.) It appeared to him that the proper way would be to meet the difficulty in the face, premising that , in les opinion, it would be better, before taking any steps upon the subject, to wait the decision of the Courts of Law on the ease which was then pending. The Noble Lord concluded by moving for copies of certain correspondence that had taken place with the Poor-law Commissioners. The Marquis of NORMANBY had certainly no objec tion to the production of these papers, and he thought he was speaking the sentiments of their Lordships when he said they were much indebted to him for the clear and accurate statement he had given of his views upon that most important subject.—( Hear, hear.) He had not ex. petted that the Noble Lord would have en t ere d i nto so . detailed a statement of the subject, and under these cir cumstances his Noble Friend mu s t f ee l t h at it would be premature in him to pronounce any opinion upon the sug gestion he had made, or to pled ge hi mse l f as to what course the Government might think proper to adopt. That was not the place to enter into a discussion of the opinion of the Judges, but he believed that it would be most de sirable that whatever remedy it was intended to apply should be brought forward as speedily as possible, as the position in which parties stood at present was one of great inconvenience and un certainty.—( Hear, hear.) He did net say whether it would be desirable to introduce a separate measure upon the subject, and he could assure the Noble Lord that lie would give his best attention to it.—( Hear.) The Duke of RICHMOND was delighted his Noble Friend had brought forward the subject, an d that it had met to a cert a i n extent the views of the N oble Marquis at the head of the Home Department. He trusted that fair play would be given to all parties concerned, and although he did not wish to see the shopkeepers rated, he hoped it would be borne in mind that the land was also already rated, and that it would be ve r y hard if the farming-stock was now rated.—( Hear, hear.) Lord A S HB URTON hoped the question would be dealt with in a satisfactory manner. The intention of the , law was that the parties should be rated according to their Admiral ADAM presented a petition from Kinross, praying for the separation of Church and State, and that no public money might be granted for Church Extension. On the motion of Sir H. II A R DING E, the Launces ton Market and Improvement Bill was read a third time, and passed. Mr. MACAULAY presented a petition from Edin burgh, praying for protection to the Copyrights of De signs. Also three petitions, praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. A. WHITE presented a petition against Church Extension. Mr. MAUNSEL presented a petition from a place in Northampton, praying for the exclusion of Roman Ca tholics from Parliament. Mr. E WART presented a petition from the Disstnters of Wigan against Church Extension ; also four praying for the total extinction of Church-rates. Captain JONES, seeing the Hon. Member for Carlow in his place, begged to ask him if it was his intention to move the second reading of the Loughs Foyle and Swilly Bill, as his name appeared on the back of it. Mr. A. YATES knew nothing of his name appearing on the Bill. Captain JONES, under these circumstancQs, would, without stating any reasons, move that dm Bill be read a second time that day six months. He was waiting for that purpose, and no one was presen,t to move the Bill. It stood in the paper and might be moved when he eras not present. Mr. F. FRENCH said that was an unusual mode for any Hon. Member to take. The Member who had charge of the Bill might be in his place in time to move it. Captain JONES said both Hon. Members whose names appeared on the Bill had been in the House within a very few minutes. He would persist in his motion. Mr. YATES would move the second reading of the Bill. He was favourable to the Bill because it would give employment to thousands of the poor of Ireland. Captain JONES was about to give his reasons, when Sir H. HARDINGE begged to ask whether the Bill was on the table of the House? Mr. YATES—Yea. Captain JONES then said the present Bill had been brought in without any communication being made to him, although he had brought in a Bill himssif for that purpose. The object was to recover certain lands which at that time were overwhelmed by the sea. The perons living near had each of them thereby acquired certain rights, such as the use of the sea, and objected to being deprived of them by a Joint-stock Company. They had consented to the original Bill on condition that they should not have to deal with such a Company, but with the undertakers only ; and if Parliament consented to this Bill, it would be a - breach of faith with them. He, therefore, moved the Bill should be read a second time that day six months. Mr. F. FRENCH intimated that in consequence of the opposition to it the Bill would be withdrawn.---( Hear.) Mr. ESTCOURT presented a petition from Lincoln shire against certain clauses of the Poor-law Act ; also two petitions against any further grant to Maynooth College. Mr. VIT.,LIERS presentcd petitions from Newry, Dundee, from fifteen parishes in Stafford, and several other places, for a repeal of the Corn-laws. Also peti tions from Warwickshire against Church Extension. Lord TEIG NMOUTH presented a petition from Marylebone, against any reduction of the duty on Foreign Brandy. Mr. HUME presented ten petitions from various dis tricts of London, against the Copyright Bill. The Hon. Member was about to read one of them, when ho was (tiled to order by the other side of the House, and he then moved that all the petitions be read at length by the Clerk at the table.-4 Cheers, and laughter.) One of the petitions having been read by the clerk, Mr. HUME said he would not trouble the House with the reading of the others. He merely wished to show that he had the right.--( Ironical cheers from the Opposition benches.) The Hon. Member then presented a petition from the workmen employed in the Burgh Iron -works at the Galiowgate,iGlasgow, in favour of the Peoples' Charter, and a petition from Lanarkshire, praying for Universal Suffrage, Annual Parliaments, and Vote by Ballot. Also a petition from Kilkenny in favour of inland bonding warehouses. Mr. V. SMITH presented a petition from Northamp ton, in favour the Chimney-sweepers' Bill. Sir R. H. INGLIS presented a petition from the Uni versity of Oxford in favour of the Chimney-sweepers' Bill. Colonel WOOD presented a petition from the West Middlesex Water-works Company against the Grand Junction Railway. Mr. GROTE presented nino petitions from the Ward of Farringdon Without, from Islington, Newington, avid other places, praying► for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. NOTICES.-.CHURCH-RATE. Mr. EASTHOPE gave notice for the 2d June of a motion for the abolition (we believe) of Church-rates. NEW' ZEALAND. Lord ELIOT gave notice that on the 28th ;cwt. be would call the attention of the House to the petition he had this day presented from the merchants of London as to the colonization of New Zealand. SCHOOLS OF DESIGN. Mr. E WART gave notice of a motion for the establish ment of Schools of Design. CHILDREN'S'FRIEND SOCIETY. Sir C. LEMON gave notice of a motion for returns of papers from the Cape of Good Hope in regard to the treatment of children from the Children's Friend Society. IRISH REGISTRATION. Lord MORPETH gave notice, on the part of the Soli citor-General for Ireland, that he would shortly more for leave to bring in a Bill for amending the Irish registra tion.—( Loud cheers from both sides.) PRIVILEGE. Sir G. CLERK said he had to call the attention of the House to a matter deeply affecting their privileges. A new writ had been yesterday moved for Cockermouth, in the room of Mr. Horsman, on the ground of his having accepted the office of Lord of the Treasury. He now held in his hand a printed address to the electors and non electors of Cockermouth, dated 18th May, and signed by Mr. Horsman, in which were these words, " I have been offered the office of Lord of the Treasury, and from the manner in which the offer was made, I have felt it my duty to secept it.—(Loud cries of Hear, hear.') It is therefore necessary that I should appeal to you for approval of the step I ant about to take."—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") After proceeding to explain what his public principles were, and stating that he held, in common with the Right Ho nourable Member for Edinburgh, that every man ought to be ready to lend his aid to the Government whenever he could be useful, he went on to say that he had accepted that offer not only as a distinction to himself, but as a compliment to those whom he re presented.—(Laughter from the Opposition, and Mi. nisterial cheers.) " The moment, therefore, the debate on the Irish Registration Bill is over, I shall present my self to you."—( Cheers and counter cheers.) Ho (Sir G. Clerk) begged to state that that address, which had been sent up to him that morning from Cockermouth , was d pr ic in ta te ti d ng and f that circulated addressthe r o e n l last N n V d e a d y n t e h s e d a l y s . t 'F in t, after the London, and the publication of it at Cockermouth, on Wednesday, in which the Hon. awl Learned Gentleman stated expli citly, he bad accepted the office of Lord of the Treasury, he still continued to sit in that House.—( Several Hon. ourable Members on the Ministerial side here ex claimed, " lie had only accepted the offer.") H e would read that passage of the address again —it was as follows :—" I hare been offered the appointment of a Lord of the Treasury, and, from the manner in which it has been made to me, I have felt it my duty to accept it.")__ (Loud cheers from the Conseivatives.) Then he stated that he would remain in London until the debate on the Irish Registration Bill was concluded. He (Sir G. C.) would ask any Member of that House whether the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had not accepted office on Mon day last.—( Hear, hear.) He begged leave to call the attention of the house to the serious consequences that might arise if a case of this kind were passed over. It might have happened—indeed it very nearly happened in the present instance—that the fate of the Irish Registra tion Bill might have been derided by a single vote ; and iu what situation would the House have been if that Bill had been decided against through the vote of the Hon. Gentleman who had accepted office, and Rho had therefo re r no longer a right to sit or vote in that House.--(Hear, would (H hear.) The last step the House could have taken
