" I thank you for the readiness and liberality with which you have voted the supplies for the current year. It will be my constant object to combine a strict regard to eco nomy with the consideration which is due to the exigen cies of the public service. " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " In some districts of Wales the public peace has been interrupted by lawless combinations and disturbances un connected with political causes. I have adopted the measures which I deemed best calculated for the repres sion of outrage, and for the detection and punishment of the offenders. " I have at the same time directed an inquiry to be made into the circumstances which have led to insubordi nation and violence in a part of the country usually dis tinguished for good order and willing obedience to the law. " I have observed with the deepest concern the perse vering efforts which are made to stir up discontent and disaffection among my subjects in Ireland, and to excite them to demand a repeal of the Legislative Union. " It has been and ever will be my earnest desire to ad minister the government of that country in a spirit of strict justice and impartiality, and to co-operate with Par liament in effecting such amendments in the existing laws as may tend to improve the social condition and to devel• ope the natural resources of Ireland. " From the deep conviction that the Legislative Union is not less essential to the attainment of these objects than to the strength and stability of the empire, it is my firm determination, with your support, and under the blessing of Divine Providence, to maintain inviolate that great bond of connexion between the two countries. V• " I have forborne from requiring any additional powers for the counteraction of designs hostile to the concord and welfare of my dominions, as well from my unwillingness to distrust the efficacy of the ordinary law, as from my re liance on the good sense and patriotism of my people, and on the solemn declarations of Parliament in support of the Legislative Union. " I feel assured that those of my faithful subjects who have influence and authority in Ireland, will discourage to the utmost of their power a system of pernicious agitation which disturbs the industry and retards the improvement of that country, and excites feelings of mutual distrust and animosity between different classes of my people." UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS. PROMOTIONS. _ On the 15th inst., the Rev. John Udney Robson, 8.A., Magadalen Hall, was instituted to the Vicarage of NN in ston, in the county of Suffolk, on the Presentation of the Dean and Chapter of Ely. The Rev. Robert William Hippisley, 8.A., of Exeter College, to the Rectory of Stow-on-the-Wold. Glouces tershire. The Rev. Edward Meyrick Goulburn, M.A., Fellow of Merton College, to the Curacy of Brighton. The Rev. William But rough Cosens. M.A., formerly of Magdalen Hall, Rector of Moukton Farleigh, Wilts, to the Vicarage of Berry Pomeroy, Devon, vacant by the resignation of the Rev. E. Brown, Patron, the Duke of Somerset. CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—The annual meet ing of the Brighton and East Sussex Auxiliary of the Church Pastoral Aid Society was held at the Town-hall, Brighton, the Lord Bishop of Chichester (Dr. Gilbert) in the chair; and the Earl of Chichester and Sir T. Biome field forming a portion of the numerous assemblage. LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE.—On Wednesday even ing the two sons of the Rev. G. W, Mortimer, D.D., head master of the City of London School, went to the Teign, near Teignmouth, where Dr. Mortimer and his family were residing, to bathe. They were both carried away by the tide, and not got to land for a considerable time. The second was happily restored, but the eldest could not be recovered. Amongst the signatures attached to the remonstrant address to the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford, relative to Dr. Pusey's sermon, is that of Mr. Justice Coleridge. Now what reply, may we ask, would that learned personage make to a clique of barristers who, doubting the sound ness of his judgment in a case, coolly informed his lord ship that they " deprecated" his construction of the statute, and thought the interests of the profession and the country required an elaborate refutation by his lordship of the pleadings of the suitor whose claim he had decided against? It Mr. Justice Coleridge did not immediately check such impertinence he would be unworthy of the nigh position he now so worthily fulfils.—Herald. NEW CHURCH AT MOSS SlDE.—Robert Heath, Esq.. of Waterloo, near Liverpool, who was formerly engaged in business as an iron-founder in Manchester, and who is the owner of Heath Field, and other extensive property in Moss Side, has commenced the erection of a church upon his own estate in that township, the cost of which will be defrayed by himself. Moss Side has hitherto pos sessed no church ; its population, though small, has shared in the increase which all the suburban townships of Man chester have undergone ; and, taken in conjunction with the populous part of Chorlton-upon-Medlock, to which it immediately adjoins, and which is a great distance from any church, it presents a very advantageous site for the erection of a " House of Prayer." TH E Li V ERPO 1 R E i, A N D. THE NEXT STEP FOR REPEAL. Mr. O'Connell, at the last repeal meeting in Dublin, read the following " PLAN FOR THE RENEWED ACTION OF THE IRISH PARLIAMENT. " Firstly,—The Irish people recognise, acknowledge, maintain, and will continue to preserve and uphold upon the throne of Ireland her Majesty Queen Victoria, whom God protect ! Queen by undoubted right and by heredi tary descent, of Ireland, and her heirs and successors for ever. " The people of Ireland recognise, acknowledge,main tain, and will continually preserve and uphold all the prerogatives of her Majesty and of her heirs and succes sors, belonging to, and inherent in, the imperial crown of Ireland ; and they will true allegiance bear—pure, undi vided, and undivisible—to her Majesty, her heirs, and successors for ever. " Secondly,--The people of Ireland acknowlenge, and will maintain an d p reserve f or ever, t h e privileges, here ditary and personal, of peers of Ireland, together with the legislative and judicial authority of the Irish House of Lords, and the exercise of the prerogative in augmenting and limiting the peerage, as the same did of right exist before the year 1800. " Thirdly,—The people of Ireland do firmly insist upon the restoration of the Irish House of Commons, consisting of three hundred representatives of the Irish people : and claim, in the presence of their Creator, the right of the people of Ireland to such restoration. " They have submitted to the Union as being binding as a law ; but they declare solemnly that it is not founded on right, or on constitutional 'principle, and that it is not obligatory upon conscience. They agree with the tory attorney-general, Saurin, that the only binding power of the union is the strength of the English domination. They also agree with him that ' resistance to the union is in the abktract a duly, and the exhibition of that resist ance a mere matter of prudence.' They will, therefore, resist the union by all legal, peaceful, and constitutional means. " Fourthly,—The plan for the restoration of the Irish Parliament is as follows :—I. That the county members should be increased to 173, in the manner hereinafter specified. 2. That there should be 127 members returned for cities and towns, in the manner hereinafter mentioned. 3. That the county of Carlow, being the only county in Ireland in which there are less than 100.000 inhabitants, should get an increase of one member, so as to have three representatives. That every other county having above 100,000 inhabitants, should get an increase of two mem bers. That every county ranging above 150,000 inhabi tants, should get an increase of three members. That every county ranging above 250,000 inhabitants should get an increase of four members. That the county of Tippe rary having more than 400,000 inhabitants, but less than 500,000, should get an increase of eight members. That the county of Cork having more than 700,000 inhabitants, should get an increase of ten members. " Fifthly,—With respect to the towns and cities, it is proposed that the city of Dublin, having more than 200,000 inhabitants, should have eight representatives, four for the part north of the Liffey, and four for the part south of the Liffey. " That the University of Dublin should continue, on the basis of its present constituency, to send two members. " It is proposed that the city of Cork having more than 100,000 inhabitants, should have five members. " That the city of Limerick and town of Belfast, hav ing respectively more than 50,000 inhabitants, should send four members each. " It is proposed that the town of Galway and the cities of Waterford and Kilkenny, having respectively more than 20,000 inhabitants, should each send three members to parliament. " That other towns, having about 7000 inhabitants, should each send two members to parliament, and that forty-nine other towns, next highest in the ratio of popu lations should send one member each. " The following schedule of the different places to rs turn members to the Irish parliament will show their relative population, and the number of membereto be assigned to each. ' [Here follows the schedule.l " The population is taken from the returns of 1831, which, having been made for a different purpoe, and without any reference whatever to the repeal of the union, furnish a scale of unquestionable impartiality. " Sixthly,—lt is proposed that the right of voting should be what is called' household suffrage,' requiring six months residence in the counties, with the addition in the towns; of married men, resident for twelve months, whether householders or not. " Seventhly,—lt is proposed that the mode of voting; for members of parliament should certainly be by ballot. " Eighthlv,—The monarch de facto of England, at all times hereafter, whoever he may be, shall be monarch de jure in Ireland. And so, in case of a future regency, the regent de facto in England to be regent de jure in Ire land. " Ninthly,—The connection between Great Britain and Ireland. by means of the power, authority, and preroga tives of the crown, to be perpetual, and incapable of chance, or any severance or separation. " The foregoing plan to be carried into effect according to recognized law and strict constitutional principle." L STANDARD were lodged against several of the parties, who are known. We have no doubt that Wall would have been murdered if he had made his appearance on the quay, as their whole vengeance would be wreaked on him. They had hatchets cutting the side of the boat while others set her on fire.— Tipperary Constitution. AWFUL SCENE.—The new Roman Catholic chapel of Kilee was, as customary, on last Sabbath filled with a dense congregation. Rev. Mr. O'Brien, the officiating priest, had partaken of the chalice, and was descending for the purpose of administering communion, when a confused buz, or murmur of voices was heard in the body of the chapel—next a sensation of alarm quickly spread about, and then a sudden movement in the great multi tude was apparent, accompanied with faint exclamations of terror. The commotion now became general, and a violent rush was made to the chapel doors, all eyes being raised to the gallery, which the fears of the congregation had magnified into a mighty avalanche, falling upon their heads with stone walls and roof, in one overwhelming ruin. The panic soon became universal ; so that the women and children started t,, their legs amid half sup pressed shrieks of agony and looks of indescribable pain. Exhortations, brief but energetic, assured the excited sufferers of safety, if they only kept their places, as there was no real danger, but several persons hurried down stairs, especially parents with their tender charge. In a few minutes, the people's apprehensions were dispelled, most happily without loss of life, though in the aisles men, women, and children were thrown down in the heat of the panic, trampled upon. and severely bruised ; shoes, stockings, hats, caps, and cloaks were torn off in the first desperate struggle to get out, and a cloud of dust was raised, not unlike a smouldering fire, which if possible added fuel to the flame. A little girl had her shoulder dislocated, and several persons (not confined to females) were observed in the chapel-yard from one fainting fit to another. In the gallery, not one suffered injury, but prayer-books, handkerchiefs, reticules, and sunshades were abandoned in the flight of their owners. The priest who had ineffectually laboured to appease the commotion, now explained from the altar the cause of this fearful tumult—the fall of a loose stone from one of the towers which some timid persons construed into the falling of the chapel.—Limerick Chronicle. FOREIGN 4- COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE. UNITED STATES, &c. The packet-ships Europe and Independence, from - New York, have brought dates to the Ist and 7th instant re soectively,—the first arriving on Wednesday, the latter on Thursday. The Independence performed the voyage in sixteen days. The crops throughout the Union, as also in Canada, are favourobly spoken of. The case of Mrs. Gilmour, charged with having murdered her husband in Scotland, had not been decided. The views of the President and his cabinet on the subject were daily looked for. The impression was general that she would not be given up until the Supreme Court of the United States had pronounced an opinion on the clauses of the new treaty under which she is claimed.' Several sailors, charged with murder and piracy on board a schooner called the Sarah Lavinia, were in custody at New York, and the affair was undergoing investigation. The cook, captain, and others belonging to the vessel had been murdered by, it was believed, the parties in custody. It was stated, in the news which came to hand a few weeks back, that Mexico and Yucatan, mutually tired of worrying each other, had agreed to live quietly for the future. The accounts by these arrivals state that Mexico was about making another effort to bring back her revolted province, and the Yucatanese, anticipating another brush with the discarded parent state, were bribing. by the offer of high wages, a number of American sailors into their service. The cotton market at New York was dull, the price of stocks rising, money abundant, and the rate of exchange on England 81 per cent. The American Methodist Episcopal Church has had an accession of 145,524 members, and 212 travelling and 586 local preachers, during the last year. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE POSTMASTER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES.-011 Tuesday. the Ist instant, the Hon. Charles A. Wickliffe, Postmaster- General of the United States, had a most narrow escape from death by assassination, whilst on board the steamer Georgia, on his passage from Portsmouth to Washington via Baltimore. It seems that Mr. Wickliffe and a young man named J. M`Lean Gardner went on board at Balti more. Mr. Wickliffe and Gardner were seen in a casual conversation, which soon terminated. When dinner was announced, Mtt Wickliffe, on passing Gardner, who was asleep, touched him for the purpose of waking him, when that person sprang to his feet, drew a large dirk knife, and pierced it into the right breast of Mr. W., the blade striking against the bone, and turning downward about an inch, but most fortunately not striking deep enough to prove dangerous. Immediately on the wound being in flicted Gardner was seized, and, on examination before the court, it appeared that he was subject to fits of insa nity ; and he is, therefore, to be confined until his reason is restored.—American paper. The first Irish Arms Bill was a purely Whig measure; and was brought into parliament by the Duke of Bedford, the father of Lord John Russell. Mr. Eneas Macdonnell, in a letter to the Times, gives the weekly receipts of the Repeal Association, from which we learn that up to the 14th instant the sum of £28,026 2s. 10d. had been received during the present year. In January last only £726 6s. 7d. was received. whilst in July the enormous sum of £7,849 . 175. 17d. was received. THE MURDER CO,LORD NORBURY.—A man named Peter Doolan is now in custody charged upon sworn infor mation as the actual murderer of Lord Norbury. It is now about five years since the Earl of Norbury was assas sinated, in the open day, in a plantation on his own de mesne, and within view of his house. On Sunday last, as a young man named Ryan was riding through Cashel, his horse took fright at the noise of the Tipperary temperance band, arid ran away. Poor Ryan was thrown on his head, and so severe were the injuries he received that he expired in a few minutes. These tem perance bands are a great nuisance on the Sabbath day. POOR OF IRELAND.—When the House was in Com mittee on Wednesday night in the Commons. Mr. Smith informed the House that there was funded in the 31 per Cents. a sum of about £lB.OOO, the surplus of the sub scription of 1822 for the relief of the destitute poor in the western and South-western counties of Leland. latsti NATIONAL BOARD OF EDUCATION.--By the ninth report nt the Commissioners of National Education in ['eland for 1842, it appeared that the national schools had increased, during the year, from 2.337 to 9.721, and the children on the rolls from 281,842 to 319.792; the number of children having tripled since 1833, and that of the schools being nearly fourfold. AFFLICTING OCCURRENCE.—Two young gentlemen, of the names of Acton and Drouqht, having spent the day on the mountains, grouse-shooting, were returning home to Glenearr.g on a jaunting-car, one on either side, when Mr. Acton's gun went off, by some fatal accident, lodging the contents in his right breast; he was conveyed to a cot tage couven ent, and surgical aid immediately procured, but without effect, as he only survived two hours.—Dub lin Mail. The great meeting of Protestant Ulster will take place on the day and in the manner originally appointed. We believe it will be better thus than otherwise; for Pro testantism is as unostentatious of its strength as it is firm in its resolution ; and deliberation being the essence of the movement, this point will be better achieved in a large as sembly-room than at an out-of-door rue.lting. The room selected for the occasion will accommodate five thousand persons; admission will be by ticket; every convenience for reporting has been provided ; and the Most Noble the Marquis of Downshire has consented to preside in the chair. SPAIN. The news from Madrid comes down to the 15th instant, but are of no moment. The overthrow of the regency of Espartero was celebrated on that day by a high mass and a Te Deum Laudamus, at which the Queen and her sis ter were present. On the evening of the 13th there was a disturbance at Barcelona, when the revolutionary mob of that city ma nifested their discontent with the new government. Another riot occurred in the same place on the night of the 15th, on the occasion of the proclamation there of a document which the junta of Saragosra had addressed to the government at Madrid, insisting on the convocation of a central junta, to he composed of delegates from all the provincial juntas, and have vested in it the supreme power of government. These disturbances are in them selves, perhaps, not as yet of a very serious nature ; but the friends of the late revolution view them with alarm, symptoms of the speedy breaking up of the coalition of discordant parties by which the regent was dispossessed of power. ----- THE REI'EALERS.—The scene of the usual weekly Sab bath desecration on Sunday week was Roscommon, where we are informed that 200,000 persons (repeal arithmetic) were congregated. Lord French, and several gentlemen of that name, were in attendance, with scores of priests. There is not one particle of novelty its the proceedings, nor a line in NV. O'Connell's speeches worth reporting. At the usual Corn Exchange meeting on Monday, there is just as litac worth alluding to, except the amount of the week's rent, which was announced at £1,138 Ss. 7d-, and the meeting adjourned to the following day to enable Mr. O'Connell to nour out some billingsgate on Lords Brougham and Beaumont. DEATH OF MR. RICHARD PlM.—With the deepest re gret we announce the death of Mr. Richard Pim , super intendent of the mechanical department of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway. He had been labouring under se vere illness for some months, but within the last few weeks improved so much in health as to be able to take carriage airings every day. On Saturday he drove out but utas usual,it pleased andanseienmsecdruitma inscrutable improved Providencei strength e and les s eh spirits,im at an early hour yesterday morning from his earthly sufferings, An effusion of blood on the brain was the immediate cause of his death.—Dublin paper. DARING OUTRAGE BY TWELVE ARMED MEN. ---On the night of Saturday last, the 19th instant, a party o f men, twelve in number, armed with guns, blunderbusses and pistols. broke into the house of a man named John Carroll, residing at Rath more ;. they effected their entrance by breaking the door. They pulled Carroll out of his bed and beat him in the most savage manner, and inflicted some severe wounds on his head and body ; they broke all the furniture the poor man was possessed of, and brought bins out of his house for the purpose, they said, of shoot ing him—but fortunately he made his escape by taking to his heels. The parties then pursued, but he succeeded in his escape, having nothing on but his shirt, and got shelter in a neighbour's house, a mile distant, almost lifeless from the loss of blood. The only cause that can be assigned for this outrage on Carroll is, that some short time back he summoned some persons for stealing timber from Mr. Synge, of Rathmore Castle, and to whom Carroll was herd.—Nenagh Guardian. In another year the whole of the detached forts round Paris will be in a condition to command e nd bombard the city. Barricades will then be of no use, and the capital of France will be at the mercy of the powers that he. It is stated from Rome, that the Pope is determined to put an end to the nefarious transactions of his Jewish sub jects, and that the Ancona ordinance is only a precursor of more severe measures. BURNING OF A BOAT.—A most daring outrage was perpetrated near Carrick-on-Suir on Monday morning. The facts are these :—A. boat, the Property of Patri c k Wall, of Carribkbeg, was maliciously set on fire by the boatmen and burned to the water's edge. Wall built the bolt in opposition to the body, whose rules will not permit a new boat to be built unless an old one is broken up and purchased to build the new one from. This boat was lying at the quay for the last month, and Wall was deterred from working her from threats, &c. On Mond a y morn ing, about seven o'clock, he had four car-men with horses to haul her to Clonmel for a load of corn, when about forty boatmen assembled at the quay, beat the haulers and men working the boat unmercifully, took the boat into the middle of the river, and set her on fire. Informations The Paris Globe says it is informed that Nina Lassave, whose name was so much mixed up with Fieschi's trial, is now acting as messenger at a dressmaker's in the I'alais Royal. There are now in France, says one of the journals, 6679 advocates, or barristers ; 3569 avoues, or attorneys ; 10.300 notaries; 8206 huissiers, or summoning officers; and about 20,000 agents ;—making a total of 48,754 per sons, all living upon law and justice. A novel and gigantic scheme is talked of among our French neighbours, which is, to establish a covered-in garden at Paris, to be heated by a new and ingenious method. Cafes, shops, libraries, ball rooms. restaurants, baths, and a theatre are to surround it. 25 millions of francs, to be raised by a company, is the sum to be called for. HOUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY. Lord BROUGHAM moved for certain returns relative to the state of the appeal business before the house, and also before the Privy Council, but principally, as it would ap pear, that he might eulogise the reports of the Criminal •Law Commission and the law reforms of the present session. The LORD CHANCELLOR gratefully acknowledged the learned lord's 'ratuitous services as President of the Ju dicial Committee of the Privy Council; Lord CAMPBELL could not resist the temptation to be jocose upon the short-comings of government in the matter of law reform. Lord BROUGHAM, of course, replied. Lord CAMPBFLL rejoined, and with the assistance of Lord MONTEAGL and the extreme weakness of his opponent's case, certainly came off victorious. • The returns moved for were ordered. and their lordships then passed to the consideration of Lord Lucan's com plaint against the Irish government, Lord WHARN CLIFFE and the LORD CHANCELLOR expressing their conviction that Sir E. Sugden was entirely justified in removing Lord Lucsn from the commission of the peace. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE paid a just tribute to the value of Sir E. Sugden's services as a law officer, but could not extend his approval to his discharge of that part of his duties in which the magistracy were principally concerned. He thought the hasty expression which was alleged as the ground of the noble lord's dismissal had been too severely visited, and that the conduct of the stipendiary who presided should have been inquired into. Lord LUCAN warmly accused Lord Wharticliffe of _trickery in the conduct of the discussions before the house. and Lord WHARNCLIFFE as warmly vindicated himself. Lord BROUGHAM and Lord CAMPBELL concurred in implting nothing more than an error of judgment to the Irish Chancellor ; but Lord CHARLEVILLE felt that Lord -Lucan had been very harshly treated for having in a mo •snent. of irritation resented a gross insult. He had no confidence in Sir E. Sugden as the bead of the magistracy, And nothing but the urgent call of the public service should induce him to act under him. The Duke of WELLINGTON having examined the papers on which the charge against Lord Lucan was founded, bore testimony to the great amount of provocation which •he had endured before he committed the contempt of court which had been punished by his dismissal. He vin dicated, however, Sir E. Sugden's decision, and especially the spirit of impartiality in which he had removed from the commission not only Lord Lucan, but the magistrate with whom the squabble originated. Lotd GLENGALL highly disapproved the conduct of the 'lrish Chancellor, but after a few words from one or two "other noble lords, the matter dropped. Several other bills were forwarded a stage, and their 'lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—MONDAY. - Among the bills brought down from the Lords, and agreed to by them, was the theatres' regulation bill, their lordships not insisting on the amendments proposed by them therein. The house having gone into committee for further consideration of the report of the slave trade sup pression hill, Sir T. WILDE proposed certain amendments to meet the objections of the Attorney and Solicitor- General as to certain clauses of the bill on Friday last. After some conversation they were agreed to. The re mainder of the business transacted was not of public in terest. HOUSE OF LORDS-TUESDAY. The royal assent was given by commission to a multitude - of bills. Lord CAMPBELL, in moving the consideration of the Commons' amendments to his defamation and libel bill, -lamented the mutilation it had suffered, and cited a num -her of instances to show the injustice of adhering, as the lower house had done, to the old rule of common law, which denied redress for any spoken scandal, unless it imputed an indictable offence or tended to injure a man in his profession. The chastest matron or the purest maid might be accused of incontinency ; the bravest soldier might be publicly proclaimed as a coward or a scoundrel ; yet the law, although punishing the impu'ation that one person had lifted his hand azainsr another, afforded no redress. He contended that in such cases as these the treatment of spoken should be assimilated with that of written slander, and thought that the fear of costs would be a sufficient restriction upon frivolous actions. He com plained also of the omission of the clauses which prevented the mere truth of a charge from being a sufficient answer in a civil action without proof that the publication was for the public benefit, but generally approved the other alte rations. fh;L . ORD CRANCELLOR vindicated the discretion of the House of Commons in the changes they had made, and the amendments were then agreed to. . Lord TEYNIIAM afterwards moved for certain returns ffectine the administration of the poor law, with the view principally of procuring for the poor au extension of out door relief, but partly also that fie might procure the ap poiptment of a committee to inquire into the operation of theact. He entreated that regard might he had not only to the wants but to the feelings of the poor, and established by several instances the impolicv as well as the cruelty of Offering relief on condition of entering the workhouse, and thus forcing the honest and able-bodied labourer to eke pat his existence by theft, which, when discovered, would render his family a burden upon the parish, and ruin his future prospects of employment. In districts, where Wages were so low as to be insufficient to support more than two or three members of a family, relief either in food or money .should be given, and neither in this case, or when work failed from the circumstances of the times, should the workhouse test be applied. He attributed the hardships inflicted upon the poor not so much to the act itself as to the orders of the commissioners, which had induced many who had originally co-operated in carrying Out the system to withdraw themselves from a participation in its cruelties. The expectations of decreased expense that they had been taught to entertain were miserably dis appointed—a necessary result of the practice of driving whole fatni:ies into th. workhouse, whom a little tempo my assistance would have enabled to nvintain themselves in independence. He pressed for a general inquiry into the system—into the regulation of the workhouses, the classification of their inmates, and other topics connected with the operation of the act, but more especially into the proceedings of the commissioners themselves. He did not regret that the law bad been so little discussed this session, as enough was no t k nown o f i ts wor k ing to enable their lordships to introduce satisfactory amendments. Lord STANHOPE complained that some returns which which had been ordered by the house last session had not been produced, and expressed his surprise that Lord Teyn ham should have contented himself with asking for only a' more merciful administration of the law. He objected not only to its cruelty and injustice, but to its principle, and on behalf of the oppressed poor demanded its repeal. That result would one day be obtained ; and if it was not conceded by parliament, it would be achieved by the people. Lord WHARNCLIFFE bad no objection to the returns, and the motion was, therefore, agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. On the motion for the third reading of the Slavery Sup preattiou Bill, Mr. 1-I,twas repeated his disapprobation of the measure. But since it had now been so modified by Ministers as to be really in its present state a Government bill, he felt that be had not the power to defeat or to de lay it; and therefore, though he could have wished it post poned, he would not oppose it. Mr. MILDMAY was surprised that Mr. HAWES, who bad, so many good reasons to give against the bill, should have concluded by expressing his intention to forbear from opposing it. He therefore would himself move that it should be read a third time on that day three months. Sir J. R. REID seconded this amendment. Sir T. WILDE said, that this hill was opposed by two sections of members, one of which objected to it because it would repress this kind of commerce, and the other be cause it would not. It was no new measure; there had been lone and ample notice that it was to be brought for ward. Unless it were fitting that British subjects resident abroad should be permitted to employ their capital in en coOraging the slave trade, the opposition to this measure could not be sustained. It affected slave-trading only, and not slave-holding. It prevented the importation of fresh slaves, but not the transfer of slaves in the country where they already existed as such. The ATTottv EY-GENERAL (by whom the modifications of the bill had been introduced) would yield to no man in his zeal for the suppression of the slave trade. The bill was beneficial in this, among other respects, that it would evince to foreign nations the sincerity of the British d es i re to extinguish that traffic. He vindicate d the necessity o f the clauses which he had introduce d ; indeed, it might be collected that what had been done was pretty nearly right froin the disapprobation of both the extreme parties. It was not, however, properly to be called a Government bill. It was then read a third time, without a division. HOUSE OF LORDS.—TuortsDAY. ___ PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. Her Majesty prorogued Parliament this day, with the usual formalities. She looked remarkably well, and %as loudly cheered as she passed along. The following is a copy,of - HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. •" 141 v LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, "-The state of public business enables me to close this protracted session ; Anti to release you from further at tendat4o kttl your Parliamentary duties. "- 1 thank you for the measures you have adopted for enabling me to R ive fall effect to the several treaties which I have concluded with Foreign Powers. I have given my cordial ass , nt to the bill which you presented to me fur increasing the means of spiritual in structton in populous parishes. by making a portion of the revenues of the Church available for the endowment of additional ministers.

The Queen gave a splendid entertainment, at Virginia Water, on Saturday, in celebration of Prince Albert's twenty-fourth birthday. RETURN or THE COURT TO WINDSOR.—OR Thursday afternoon, at. half-past five o'clock, her Majesty arrived at the Castle from the Slough station, in an open travel , ling carriage and four, escorted by a detachment of the Ist regiment of Life Guards, commanded by Lieutenant Cavendish. Her Majesty arrived at Slough from the Paddington terminus in the Great Western Railway state carriage, the distance being performed in 27 minutes. The Queen was accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and attended by the Countess of Dun more, lady in waiting. ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS DE JOIN VILLE AND LE Duc D'AUMALE.—At dine o'clock on Monday morning the Pluto French war-steamer, Rear- Admiral Prince de Joinville, and his brother, Le Duc de Aumale, arrived at Woolwich, attended by the Archi mede and Napoleon war steamers in the French service. A field battery of the Royal Artillery, under the corn mand of Captain Tylden, stationed in the dock-yard, fired a salute to announce the arrival of their royal highnesses. At half-past ten o'clock their royal highnesses entered the barge of the William and Mary yacht, and were steered to the landing place by Commander Smith. At the moment their royal highnesses stepped on shore, another royal salute was fired from the field battery sta tioned in the dock-yard, and the illustrious visitors were received with the usual honours. The Marquis de Chabot and Marshal Count. Sebastiani, attached to the French embassy, and Lord Hawarden and Captain F. Seymour, attached to the British court, were in waiting on the ar rival of their royal highnesses, and left Woolwich imme diately after the illustrious visitors landed, to accompany them to Windsor Castle on a visit to her majesty.— Morning Chronicle. THE FRENCH PRINCES.—Some surprise has been ex pressed at the sudden departure of the French princes, who have been sight-seeing in London these last few days ; but the truth, we hear is, that the Prince de Joinville and the Duc d'Aurnale were merely commissioned by their royal father to wait upon the Queen for the purpose of inviting her Majesty and the Prince Consort to beat off Trepori, near the Chateau d'Eu, in any marine excursion which her Majesty and Prince Albert may be about to take, so that his Majesty Louis Philippe may be enabled to pay the Queen a sea visit. Having executed this com mission, the princes forthwith returned. The eldest son of the Marchioness Townsend, and Mr. Margetts, who assumed the title of Earl of Leicester, but who has been deprived of that dignity by the Townshend Peerage Act. has obtained the Royal license to bear the name and arms of Dunn. Gardner. A letter from Berlin, Aug. 13th, states that Prince Al bert, during his stay at Jerusalem, contributed by his in terference to smooth down the difficulties which had arisen between the bishop, Dr. Alexander, and the Paella, relative to the construction of a Protestant church and an hospital. A subject at present much talked of in the higher cir.. cies of society in London is that of the precedency of the Marchioness of Douglass. According to the strict rules of precedency, the position of the noble marchioness would of course be below that of a princess of a sovereign family. But the decision will depend upon her Majesty. THE SUSSEX DUKEDOM.—A petition was presented on Tuesday night, in the I - louse of Lords (though not heard in the gallery), from Sir 'Augustus d'Este to her Majesty, " claiming to be Duke of Sussex, Earl of Inverness, and Baron of Arklow,' and praying that her Majesty Will be graciously pleased to order a - writ of summons to pass the great seal, to summon the petitioner to sit in parliament, arid there to enjoy the rank and privileges to the said titles, dignities, and honours belonging. This petition was presented to their lordships by her Majesty's command, together with the report of the Attorney-General thereon. It was read and referred to the Committee for Privileges " to consider and report." The Sussex dukedom claim will, therefore, in all probability, be one of the subjects of discussion and investigation next session. COLONEL STODDART AND CAPTAIN CONOLLY.— The Times of Tuesday contains an interesting narrative of a Mussulman fellow-prisoner of the above-named gentle men, who gives a minute account of their execution, by order of the Ameer of Bokhara, the particulars of which he was supplied with by one of the executioners. The narrator also states that after his own release from prison he stood upon the graves of the two officers. A strong opinion of the general truth of the statement is expressed by Colonel Sheil, British minister at the court of I:4l.sia. IWe extract the following passage :—On the 17th of June, the Ameer gave orders that Colonel Stoddart should be killed in the presence of Captain Conolly, who was to be offered life if he were to become a Mahomedan. In the afternoon they were taken outside the prison into the street, which is a kind of small square. Their hands were tied across in front. Many persons assembled to behold the spectacle. Their graves were dug before their eyes. Colonel Stoddart exclaimed aloud at the cruelty and tyranny of the Ameer. His head was then cut off with a knife. The chief executioner then turned to Cap tain Conolly, and said—" The Ameer spares your life if you will become a Mussulman." Captain Conolly an swered, " Colonel Stoddart has been a Mussulman for three years, and you have killed him ; you killed Yosoo, and I am ready to die." head stoaoyingl whiillch o h t e b e st a re l , tc l h u e s d sum f l ort a h n neck. iswas then cut off. ARRIVAL OF THE EX-REGENT OF SPAIN. Her Majesty's war steamer Prometheus, commander Frederick Lowe, arrived off Woolwich dock yard on Wed nesday morning, having on board General Espartero and suite. Sir Francis Collier immediately proceeded on board the Prometheus, and having been introduced to his Highness, Sir Francis, on the part of the government, at once ex plained to the regent that every accommodation, both to himself and his suite, would be most gladly rendered, carriages for the conveyance of himself and suite to town being in readiness. His Highness, however, declined the offer, having pre viously arranged to embark in a small above-bridge steamer for El ungerford-wharf, where the carriages of the Embassy would be in attendance to receive him. His highness added, that he wished his visit to be as private as possible. His Highness, who appeared to be in remarkably good health and spirits, conversed in the French language for some time with Sir Francis Collier. and took occasion to express to that gallant officer in unmeasured terms his gratitude for the extreme kindness he had experienced from the British authorities, from the moment he placed his foot on board the Malabar ship of war. The Duchess of Victory and the Lady Elidia Espar tero (the Regent's daughter) also expressed their acknow ledgments. Despatches were immediately forwarded to London, announcing the Regent's arrival at Woolwich. Lord Bloomfield, commander of the Royal Arsenal, arrived at the Dock-yard shortly after 12 o'clock, and went off to pay his respects to General Espartero. Shortly before two o'clock the Waterman Company's steamer (No. 9) went alongside the Prometheus for the purpose of receiving his Highness and suite, and having taken the whole of them on hoard, at once proceeded to Elungerford-wharf, where carriages were in wa iti ng to convey the noble exiles to Mivart s Hotel. The Duke of Wellinenn, Sir R. Peel, and many per sons of consequence called on General Espartero imme diately after his arrival in Loudon. In compliance with a requisition from the Common Council of London, the Lord Mayor has fixed Friday next for a special Court, to welcome Don Espartero to this country. COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH BRAZIL.-- Chevalier Aranjo Ribeira has arrived in town. This gentleman is charged by the Brizilian government with authority to re-open negotiations with her Majesty's government for the purpose of effecting a new commercial treaty between Great Britain and the empire of the Brazils.—Globe. IMPORTANCE OF WATER TIGHT BULKHEADS.—The Margaret of Hull, a large and powerful steamer, intended for the African trade, struck on a rock near Oban, on Tuesday, when on her passage from Hull to Liverpool. The damage sustained was so great that the water in stantly rushed in, and in less than ten minutes the fore hold was completely filled. Fortunately the vessel was divided into water tight compartments, and being thus saved from sinking, was got into port at Oban. The Margaret is quite new. She had a cargo on board for Li. verpool, but no passengers; and the forehold being filled with casks of oil, the cargo is little injured. The whole damage will, we are informed, be repaired at a cost of lit tle more than £loo.—Leeds Intelligencer. ASSIZE LVIELLIGEACE. SOUTH LANCASHIRE SUMMER ASSIZES. CROWN COURT.-TUESDAY. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN took his seat at nine o'clock. BURGLARY. Benjamin Kino, aged 24, and George Crossley, 18, were charged with having, at Todmorden, on the 31st of October last, feloniously and burglarionsly broken and entered the dwelling-house of James Scholefield, and stolen therefrom six knives and forks, twelve pairs of scissors, and other articles, the property of the said Jas. Scholefield. George Medcalf, now a labourer at Manchester, stated that he was, on the 9th of November, under sentence in the New Bailey-prison, at Manchester, when the prisoners were placed there. Three or four days after they were placed there, King entered into conversation with him in the presence of two men, Roose and Potts. King de scribed to him the manner in which they got into Schole field's shop, and the property which they tt ok. They said they had pawned the goods at various places. They pawned one half-dozen knives and forks at Peirson's for sixpence; a Macintosh, a pistol, and a dozen knives and forks, at a shop in Withy-grove ; and a top-coat at ano ther place. Crossley took part in the conversation occa sionally. The jury found the prisoners guilty, and they were sen tenced to ten years' tt ausportation. Jesse Howarth, 26, Robert Milburn, 35, John Hughes, 31, Richard Entwistle, 22, and Benjamin Ingham, 48, were charged with having, at Tottington-Lower-End, feloniously and burglariously broken and entered the dwelling-house of Ann Heap. It appeared by the evidence that traces of footsteps were found from Ann Heap's house in a direct line, with a slight interruption, to a house where the whole of the prisoners were proved to have been together. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY and Mr. WILKINS addressed the jury in favour of the prisoners, and the jury acquitted them. John Scholes, aged 24, was charged with having, on the 2nd December, 1840, at Tottington-Lower-End, fe loniously and burglariously broken and entered the dwell ing -house of John Barlow, and stolen therefrom a shawl and handkerchief, a pair of stockings, &c., the property of the said John Barlow. It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution, that on the 2nd December, 1840, Mrs. Barlow in the middle of the night saw a light through some chinks in the floor of the room in which she and the family slept; thinking that the house was on fire she gave the alarm, and her daughter got up, ard, looking through a hole in the floor, saw the prisoner. He was known by the name of Lomax, and as he ran away, Miss Barlow called after him—" Ah I know thee, Lomax." He had been employed by Mr. Barlow. He absconded immediately after, and was not apprehended till July last. The prisoner was sentenced to twelve months' impri sonment and hard labour. WOUNDING, &C. Richard Sutcliffe, aged 38, was charged with having, at Todmord6n, maliciously and feloniously wounded Mary Sutcliffe, his wife. It appeared that the prisoner, who is a stone-cutter. was in the habit of getting intoxicated, The prosecutrix and he had been married fifteen years. Mrs. Sutcliffe took in washing. On the night of Saturday, the 10th 01 June last, she was taking home some clothes, when she met her husband, who had had some drink. He ques tioned her as to where she was going, and ultimately compelled her to return with him, though she was anxious to attend to her business. When they got home he bolted the door, and she assisted him to undress and put him to bed. He ordered her to go to bed, but she said she could not till she had delivered all her clothes and attended to her household duties. He said she must stop his time, and she complied, and remained till she thought he was asleep, and then returned to her work as she had done many a time before. She took her shoes and her apron' in her hand, and went away and delivered her clothes, and purchased some potatoes and coals. When she re turned he was up. She hesitated about going in, being afraid, but at length he heard her, and ordered her to enter. As soon as she entered he took her by the dress, and threw her on the floor. lle bolted the door, and punched (or kicked) her on her back and breast. He beat her with his fist on the head. She scrambled up many times. and he knocked her down again. He knocked her head violently against both the wall and fl or, saying he would beat her till she would not know him. He asked her if she knew him. She replied "Yes." He said " Who am I?" She said " It 's Dick." He said he would not he called Dick, and he beat her still more. She then called him Richard, but he still beat her. He lifted her up, carried her up stairs, and threw her on a chair, and asked her if she knew him. She said she did, and begged him to give over, saying, " lam done." He immediately dashed her on the floor and kicked her again, having all the time his clogs on. He lifted her up and dashed her to the ground, when her head caught the wall. Some of the skin and hair adhered thereto. Her head was sorely cut in five or six places. He at last took her up and threw her on the bed, where she lay helpless. He went to bed himself, and lay till morning. Witness stated that she was about a month unable to move. The prisoner said the reason why he locked the door when he beat her was, that on former occasions she had run away before he was satisfied. The jury found the prisoner guilty of maliciously wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm. The JUDGE animadverted on the cruelty of the priso ner in committing such an unprovoked assault, and sen tenced him to fifteen years' transportation. DISCHARGE OF THE GRAND JURY. At a quarter before four o'clock to-day, there being no more bills to go before the Grand Jury, they entered the court and were discharged. NISI PHIUS COURT.--TUESDAY. Mr. Justice Cresswell took his seat at nine o'clock, and immediately after proceeded with the case of (HAVANT V. BAILEY, Which had been left in an unfinished state at the rising of the court on the preceding evening. Witnesses having been called to prove that a machine was not of the dimensions ordered, and that it was inca pable of performing its work, Mr. Knowles replied. His Lord-hip charged the Jnry, who returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £250, costs 40s. "ACTION FOR DEFAMATION.-STANLEY V. ASCOLI. This was an action for defamation, brought by the plaintiff, Joseph Stanley, against the defendant, Guiseppe Angelo Ascoli, commission merchant, at Manchester. The declaration contained five counts, in which the plain tiff alleged that the defendant had imputed robbery to him in disposinz. of certain bales of silk. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Dundas, Mr. Worthy, and Nil.. Pollock, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Baines for the defendant. After the examination of one or two witnesses, His Lordship suggested the propriety of having A set tlement made. A short consultation then took place place between counsel on both sides, at the close of which, Mr. Baines said that his client was willing to withdraw the justification and imputation of felony or dishonesty to the plaintiff, who had, under a mistaken notion of his rights. though irregularly, entered into the transaction The defendant, he said, was willing to withdraw a juror. Mr. Dundas assented to the arrangement. His Lordship thought the plaintiff had pursued an im prudent course in the transaction. A juror was then withdrawn. COLLINS V. WILLIAMSON. This was an action of defamation brought by the plain tiff, Charles Collins, against the defendant, James Wil liamson, for having charged him with the forgery of a receipt. Mr. Dundas and Mr. Pollock appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Whigham for the defendant. Mr. Dundas stated the case. The plaintiff was a gentleman of considerable property, who married a Miss Mottershead, the daughter of a pawnbroker, in Salford. who died in the year 1842. The defendant was a school master at Salford, who made a claim of 235. for schooling an illegitimate child of the late M. Mottershead, which claim, with 3s. 6d. costs, Mrs. Mottershead, paid after her husband's death. The defendant gave a receipt, but, after Mr. Mottershead's death, he sent another bill for the same amount to the plaintiff, and sued him in the Couat of Requests. The judge of the court, atter having seen the before-mentioned receipt, dismissed the claim, but shortly after the defendant said that it was a wrong receipt, that he had never signed it, and that it had been forged by the plaintiff. whom he was determined to indict at the next Liverpool Assizes. After the examination of witnesses, Mr. NI HIGHAM addressed the jury, stating that the receipt had been inrerlined, and that the defendant might reasonably have believed it to be a forgery. A verdict was returned for the plaintiff, damages 40s. LORD V FERRAND. This was an action brought for the recovery of the amount of a promissory note for £2OO, with interest thereon. The defendant pleaded payment, and the statute of limitations. Verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. The court adjourned at a quarter to six o'clock. CROWN COURT.—WEDNESDAY. Mr. Justice WIGHTAIAN took his seat at nine o'clock. STABBING. WilliamDozadall, 40, was charged with having, on the 4th July last, on the road between Eccleston and Prescot stabbed Willi am Ti c kl e. , It appeared that Tickle was with a friend, on his way home to Eccleston, on the day in question, when the pri soner came up and rubbed against him. Some slight altercation ensued, and in a few minutes the prisoner struck the prosecutor a blow with some sharp instrument. The blow was repeated, and Tickle received two cuts, one on the eye and another on the temple. The prisoner ran off. A crowd collected, and he was in a few minutes ap prehended by the police. He had, when taken, a dagger in his hand. With this instrument it appeared he had inflicted the wounds in question. The prisoner, it appeared, was a very hot politician. He entered into a statement of a long rambling descrip tion, averring that he was in danger from the liberal party ; that he had performed various public services, and carried the dagger for self defence. The prisoner called several persons, who gave him a good character. Mr. Langshaw, proprietor of the Conservative News-room in this town, said the prisoner was a very good man, rather warm on political subjects, and one of the warmest and best subjects her Majesty had. The jury found the prisoner guilty of a common assault. His LORDSHIP said it was very fortunate for the pri soner that the jury had taken this view of the case.
