Lord COTTENHAM then moved for a select committee to inquire into the operation of the Bankruptcy Act of last session. The noble lord spoke at great length on the evils which that act produced, by allowing the effects of bankrupts to be administered in some instances at 70 or 100 miles away from the residence of the bankrupt and his creditors, leading to enormous expense and prejudicing smaller creditors to the benefit of the larger. The Lord CHANCELLOR opposed the motion, on the ground that it was taking the measure out of the hands of the government before sufficient time was given to judge by experience of its expediency. The motion was premature, and he trusted their lordships would not agree to it. Formerly the power of the commissioners extended forty miles round London, and so beneficial was its oper ation found to be that it was deemed expedient to extend the sphere of its activity. There were doubtless oppo nents to this plan, because it displaced 700 commissioners, and also had various other interests to oppose it, all of whom had it view that the old system should be re-esta blished. At present he, in conjunction with those who were acting with him, was endeavouring to meet every difficulty and to remedy every abuse as it betrayed itself in the working of the bill. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM and other peers, the motion was negatived. On the motion of the Earl of ABERDEEN the house re solved itself into committee on the Scotch Church Bill. Lord CAMPBELL complained that the bill in its present shape was far more objectionable than it was when first presented to the house, and if it should pass it would prove the ruin of the Church of Scotland. The bill was a declaratory one, and he hoped the noble lord would not compel a majority of the house to vote that to be law which was not law. He moved as an amendment that the words " declared and " be omitted. The Lord CHANCELLOR supported the bill, which was not, he contended, open to the greater part of the ob jections urged by his noble and learned friend (Lord Cottenham.) The question before the house was one of Scotch law relating to the Church of Scotland, and upon which, therefore, the opinion of Scotch lawyers should have great weight. The bill had been therefore sub mitted to Lord Justice Clerk, to the Judge Advocate, and the Solicitor-General, who were of opinion that the bill was only declaratory of the law of Scotland, and was in no wise at variance with the judgment in the Auchter arder case. Upon a question of Scotch law he was very diffident in giving a decided opinion unless he heard it argued, but he was content to rest his opinion upon that of the very high Scotch authorities to whom he had re ferred, and whose weight fully justified his noble friend in pressing the persent measure, which he hoped would not be opposed by their lordships. Lord DENMAN said that the grounds upon which it was proposed to pass this declaratory law appeared to him to be in the highest degree alarming, for it went to declare that to be law which the highest judicial court in the kingdom declared not to be law. There could la, - ; no necessity to declare such an untruth, and he protested against the whole proceedings, for it appeared that the law was to be superseded by private declarations made by Scotch judges to the government. When the Lord Chancellor declined to give his own opinion upon this question, surely in the face of that fact they could not think of declaring that to be the law to which the highest legal authority would not venture to pledge his pro fessional character. After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL in reply, the amendment was defeated by a majority of 30 to 8. Sir R. PEEL saidihe never doubted the commercial and social advantages l.kely to result from the peuuy-postage system, and revenue considerations alone had caused him to hesitate about the propriety of its adoption. He had before now given his testimony as to the abilities Of Mr. Hill; and if it were deemed.desirable to continue his ser vices, the proper way would -have been to make him se cretary to the Post-office. The character of Lord Low ther was a sufficient guarantee that the new system would be carried out in good faith, and the house might rest as sured that the whole influence of the Government would be directed to aid the success of the system. After a reply from Sir T. WILDE, the motion, as amended, was agreed to. On the motion of Mr. MACKINNON, a select commit tee was appointed to inquire into the means and expedi ency of preventing the nuisance of smoke arising from fires or furnaces, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY The scene in the House of Lords, which, from Lord Brougham's violence on Tuesday evening, might have been expected, did not"comeoff." Lord'ABERDEEN briefly explained, that he had under stood his learned opponent to acquiesce in the course he had adopted, and to reserve his opposition for a future stage of the bill; and, as an evidence of his inclination to consult Lord Brougham's convenience, consented to a yet further postponement. Lord BROUGHAM professed himself entirely satisfied with this explanation. The bill for the enclosure of Hampstead-heath having been withdrawn, their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. -THURSDAY Almost the entire sitting was devoted to the proceed ings in committee on the Irish Arms Bill. The opposi tion to several clauses, particularly to that which provides for the affixing of a mark or brand on each weapon, was factious and vexatious in the extreme ; however, the most important clauses were got through in the course of the evening. THE LTVERPOOL STANDARD THE COURT. MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS AUGUSTA The marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, eldest daughter of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, with his Royal Highness Frederick, the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, was solemnized on Wednesday evening, with great splendour in the Chapel Royal, Buckingham Palace. The Ambassadors, Foreign Ministers, Cabinet Minis ters, and members of the Administration, began to arrive at eight o'clock, and assembled in the library. Their Excellencies appeared in their respective diplomatic cos tumes ; the Lord Chancellor wore his gold State robe, the Duke of Wellington his Field Marshal's uniform, with the Riband and George of the most noble Order of the Garter (the latter set in brilliants), and the ensigns of the Golden Fleece; Sir R. Peel, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Stanley, Sir J. Graham, Mr. Gladstone, Earl of Aber deen, and Sir E. Knatchbull, wore the full dress official costume; the Earl of Haddington, a Lord Lieutenant's uniform, with the ensigns of the most illustrious Order of St. Patrick. The Dukes of Beaufort and Devonshire, the supporters of the Royal bridegroom, appeared—the former in a yeo manry uniform, and wearing the ensigns of the Garter; and the latter in his Lord-Lieutenant's uniform, and wearing the collar and star (the latter set in diamonds) of the Order of the Garter, and the Collar of another order of knighthood.

CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—The following is given by the Scotsman as an estimate of the emoluments surrendered by the clergymen who seceded from the Church of Scot land :—" The stipend, in the lowest class of livings in our Established Church, is £l5B 6s. Bd. ; and the manse and glebe being valued on an average at £4l 13s. 4d., the poorest benefice is worth £2OO per annum. Where the teind (tithes) are exhausted, and do not yield £l5B 6s. Bd., the deficiency is supplied from the Exchequer. There were 196 out-parishes where the teinds were exhausted, but yielded £255, including manse and glebe; and 470 parishes, with free teinds, yielding about £282. The average of 872 livings paid from teinds and Exchequer grants was £257, including manse and glebe. The value of the livings in towns, which are paid from taxes, seat rents, or burgh funds, may average about £350 per annum. These data being premised, the incomes given up may be estimated as follow :- 267 parochial ministers, at £370 each ...... 17 parliamentary ditto, whose stipend, we believe, is £l2O 17 assistants, say £6O 164 quoad sacra ministers, say £125 4 professors, say £4OO £72,000 2,040 1,020 20,500 1,500 £97,250 The aggregate of th e i ncomes surrendered may, therefore, be estimated. in round numbers at £lOO,OOO, which is two-fifths of the whole revenue of the church. The average for each of the 469 individuals is £207. Many of the seceding ministers are among the best paid in the establishment."

FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT. —LOSS OF NINE LIVES. —We regret to announce that on Monday evening, at one of the pits belonging to the Fenton Park Company, situ ate at the back of the china manufactory of Messrs. Green and Richards, of Fenton, an explosion of fire-damp occur red, which was attended with the loss of nine lives. The cause of the accident is ascribed to the imprudence of one of the sufferers, who shut to a door, which, when re-open ed, caused such a rush of foul air towards the shaft of the pit, as ignited by the candles by which the men were lighting themselves. Two of the sufferers lost their lives by going to the assistance of those who fell victims to the explosion. An accident of so shocking a nature has not hapened in the Potteries for many years. EXHIBITION OF CARTOONS IN WESTMINSTER HALL. —This exhibition, the result of the prizes offered by the Royal Commission for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts, with a view to the decoration of the interior of the new Houses of Parliament, has been opened to the pub lic. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the King and Queen of the Belgians, and other illustrious foreigners, viewed it on Friday. There are one hundred and forty subjects altogether, and the sizes vary from 15ft. to 10ft. square, none being admitted over or under that standard. The subjects are chiefly from British his tory, embracing many of the most important incidents in the annals of our country. Shakspeare and Spencer's Fairy Queen have also afforded several specimens of great beauty. The prizes have been awarded to the successful competitors by the judges appointed by the royal com mission ; and we publish the names of the artists and the subjects of their cartoons :—Prizes of £300: Armitage (Landing of Julius Caesar) ; Watts (Caractacus at Rome) ; Cope (the first Trial by Jury).—Prizes of £200: Horsley (St. Augustine preaching before Ethel bert and Bertha, his Christian Queen) ; Bell (Queen Margaret taking Sanctuary at Westminster) ; Townsend (the Fight for the Beacon).—Prizes of £lOO : Parris (Joseph of Arimathwa) ; Severn (King Edward and Queen Eleanor) ; Bridges (Alfred presenting his Code of Laws to the Witan) ; Frost (Una surprised by the Fauns and Satyrs ; Selous (Boadicea).—Th e judges were the Marquis of Lansdowne, Sir R Peel, Mr. S. Rogers, Mr. R. estmacott, Mr. R. Cooke, and Mr. W. Etty, and they have taken occasion to express an opinion, that how ever liberal the number of pramiums, they were still found by no means equal to The number of approved pro ductions. FOREIGNERS AND COLONISTS. —Mr. Cobden is gene rally understood to have a sharp enough eye to his own interests as a manufacturer. We wonder that, in his late attack on our colonies, he should have quite overlooked a consideration of which, in the earlier years of the anti corn-law agitation, we thought we should never hear an end. We were then told that the mere amount of our exports to any country was no proof of the prosperity of our manufactures,—that some sorts of exports, as for instance of goods upon which little labour has been be stowed, were in reality ruinous to us—and we derived little or no profit except from the export of finished manufactures and goods into the value of which much labour has entered. Now, assuming all this to be cor rect, let us ask, which, on this supposition, is the best customer for our manufactures —the foreigner or the colonist ? The answer must be, the colonist. We take up one of the returns moved for by the anti-corn-law agitators, " a table showing the value of British produce and manufactures exported to various quarters of the world in 1827 and 1838, distinguishing finished manu factures and goods into the value of which much labour has entered, from materials of manufacture, and goods upon which but little labour has been bestowed." From this table we find that of the exports to our colonies, the centesimal proportion of those on which little labour has been bestowed is only 15.45 ; while of the export to foreign countries, the same roortion is not less tha 30.28. Th e fi gures, which speak p for themsel ves, are these: 1827 .. Much lab our. Little labour. .• • . lB3B 84.55 4. .. 09 .... 15.4915 ..... Foreign count r i es, 1827 .... ... 8. 81.95 ... . 15. ...... 18.05 1 838 .... 69.72 ...... This shows a s t ate of matters which we think might help to reconcile:even Mr. Richard Cobden to our colonial possessions. desired for menial employment. „wGc4eTein.iheei_ernartaleeFtssaasrliaeeannnscdiatahyhnAses,r garrisonat pers—-Hnc i n e s " I a Y a but illril(l: l; °es.l)lll7. 6 oElelt ‘ generals. s ls had made its pronunciamento.

Lord WHARNCLIFFE laid upon the table of the house copies of the correspondence with the Lord Chancellor of Ireland respecting the dismissal of Irish magistrates. The Earl of ABERDEEN then moved the second reading of the Apprehension of Offenders Bill, by which an inter national system of giving up offenders was to be esta blished with France and America. The bill, after some observations from Lords CAMP BELL and BROUGHAM, was read a second time, and their lordships soon after adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. In reply to a question from Mr. H. HINDE, respecting the materials collected by the late Mr. Petre towards editing the collection of British Historians, Sir J. GRAHAM said that, in consequence of the delay in the labours of Mr. Petre, and without any disrespect to his memory, the Treasury, in 1836, had given him no tice that he need not persevere in his labours. It was, however, now proposed, with the sanction of the Master of the Rolls, to hand over to the Historical Society the materials he had left behind him ; and that society was about to publish a work in accordance with the design of Mr. Petre. In reply to a question from Mr. HAwEs, Sir J. GRAHAM said that all the regulations respecting education in the Factories Bill, as it now stood, were com prised in four clauses. Those clauses altered the ages of the children employed from 9 to 13, as it is under the ex isting law to 8 and 13; they altered the number:of hours from eight to six and a half per diem, and gave a power to the committee of privy council on education to appoint inspectors of schools, and to withhold grants of money when they saw cause for so doing. Mr. GISBORNE then moved for a committee to inquire into the allegations of the petitions which had been pre sented to the house respecting Nottingham electioneering. The hon. member entered into a lengthened statement of the proceedings at the two or three last Nottingham elections, many of his inferences implicating to a con siderable extent the Earl of Lincoln, whose conduct, he said, could not be considered quite consistent with that of a high-minded man. Although the details of the bribery and corruption practised at those elections were by /no means new, yet they were sufficiently deplorable and dis gusting, and presented a strong prima" facie case for the necessity of granting a committee of inquiry. Lord LINCOLN entered upon a defence of his con duct, and said that corruption had taken such a firm hold of Nottingham that it could be only cured by disfranchisement, or by some arrangement by which the representation of that borough could be divided quietly between the contending parties.

Sir R. PEEL said it was his intention to have the corre spondence laid upon the table of the house relative to the removal of the West India mail packets from Falmouth to Southampton. On the proposal of the first clause of the Irish arms bill, Lord J. RUSSELL said that he had voted for this bill up to the present point, believing an arms bill to be neces sary for Ireland, but the bill should be made consistent with that now in existence. It should not assume the shape of a coercion bill ; and unless the objectionable clauses were abandoned, he should vote against the bill on the third reading. Lord ELIOT contended that, owing to a want of the means of identifying arms, the existing bill was not as efficient as it ought to be. He also challenged Lord J. Russell with not acting with his usual candour, in thus opposing a measure at the last moment which he had hitherto supported, and which, so far from being a coercion bill, was infinitely milder than a bill the noble lord him self supported while he was in power. A good deal of discussion took place on the clause, and after some divisions on amendments to that and to clause 2, they were both agreed to. Several other clauses were agreed to. The materials most in request from the promenade are taffetas in plaids of various colours, foulards of small checks in three shades, taffetas and barges striped. Silks shot in three colours are the most admired, and this style is adapted equally for taffetas, watered silks and pekins chine plaids have succeeded the rich brocades of winter, and they are worn without trimmings, the richness of their colours requiring no ornament. Barege is decidedly the favourite material of the season ; there is much variety in them, satin stripes, stripes a fours, bouquets forming co lonnes, &c. &c. ; the style of make rather decides their use as to ne'glige or dress. Tucks are generally preferred for them, which are often edged with lace or fringe. Deep flounces continue in favour, when in silk they are pinked, lighter materials are festonnes in worsted or silk ; ruches of tulle are pretty for dresses of coloured tarlatane. For young ladies, blouses a la Rachel of very clear muslin, are made resembling the Roman tunic. Blouses peig noirs of white batiste and made also with corsages a la Vierge. Robes of cameleon silk are with three deep flounces en biais, giving the effect of triple skirts ;—high bodies are very much worn, and the points are decidedly rounding; the backs are either plain or with fulness in the centre ; the gathers of the skirt are not so full over the hips, and a smaller tournure appears likely to be in troduced. Many dresses are ornamented in the tablier style, but gimp is much replaced by ruches of ribbon ; for dress, the ruches are of gauze or lace, for watered silks and droqu ets gimp and braid continue to be used ; frange dentille, a new style of trimming, is also used. Cannezous com posed of inlets of lace and embroidery are much in demand just now, as well as the fichu Marie Antoinette. Cain tures are either worn with a buckie or of ribbon with long ends. Scarfs Catalanes, mantelets Pompadour, mantilles a Ca vi e lit et manintes mane illztomette with flat ruches, &c. &c. are all now in favour : the mantelets a la duchesse are much improved ; they are lined with pink or blue, and trimmed with lace, having double heading surmounted by embroidery in application. Black lace bonnets are quite superseded b those of white lace, crape bonnets are small, and most y ly white, ornamented with bluebells. Open straws are lined with colour, having feathers to match. Capotes of poult de sole of the ecru colour are also lined with silk, and organ dys with lilac or blue gauze. Some bonnets, particularly straws, are simply ornamented with the flat ribbon ruche. Capotes of paille de riz have been made with crowns of plaid silk.—London and Paris Magazine. LAW INTELLIGENCE It appears from a letter in the Northern Star of last Saturday, that Mr. O'Connor has served a writ in a civil action for libels published against him in the Times news paper, in connection with the two last Nottingham elec tions. THE YORKSHIRE ASSIZES. —We understand that there are upwards of one hundred prisoners in York Castle for trial at the ensuing assizes, which commence on Wednes day, the 12th instant, although only three months have elapsed since the last assizes terminated. Surely this is pretty strong evidence of the necessity for a winter assize. At a meeting of debtors in the Queen's Prison on the the 20th instant, Mr. R. Oastler in the chair, it was re solved, •• that a Provisional committee be formed in the Queen's Prison for the purpose of raising funds for the defence of Mr. Ludford, indicted for breaking the Queen's Prison, in order to raise the question of the illeglity of imprisonment for debt before her Majesty's Judges of the Queen's Bench. In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Wednesday, Mr. Colburn, the publisher and bookseller, obtained a verdict, with 40s. damages, against the proprietors of the Atlas newspaper for a libel upon him. For the defendants it was urged that they had Daly attacked the system of puff ing publications, and had meant no personal imputation; but the verdict of the jury implied that in their opinion the article did involve a charge of personal misconduct. APPOINTMENT OF CHAPLAINS TO GAOLS. —The law officers have given their opinion to the Home Secretary, that the appointment of chaplains to gaols is by law vested in the magistrates, and not in the town-council. The question, however, is not free from doubt, and Sir James Graham proposes, therefore, to prepare a clause, to be introduced into the prison's bill, vesting the appointment of the trates ch and aplains of borouh gaols in the b oroug h magis , not in the town.councils. - - ELECTION OF CHURCHWARDENS —IRREGULAR CLO - SING OF POLL—The Birmingham Advertiser of Thurs - day last contains a long report of a case argued in th e Court of Queen's Bench,—The Queen v. the Vicar and Churchwerdens of Aston (Birmingham).
