Earl GREY moved the second reading of a bill for improving the regulations respecting the allotment of waste lands in Australia, the details of which he entered into at considerable length. After some observations from Lord BROUGHAM and Lord LYTTELTON, the bill was read a second time. The bills on the table were severally forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. On the motion for the house resolving itself into com mittee of supply, Mr. HUME moved a resolution to the following effect : —" That with the view of lessenint , the temptations to drunkenness and immorality, and of promoting thereby the welfare of the working classes especially, and also of society generally, it is the duty of a Christian legislature to open the British Museum, the National Gallery, and all similar public places calculated to afford innocent and instructive recreation, for the reception of visitors on Sundays and on holidays, at such hours after morning service as gin-shops and public-houses are open." Lord J. RUSSELL was quite willing to promote the object which the hon. gentleman had in view, in opening our national institutions freely to the public, and he believed no one had done more than he had to advance that object. With respect to public gardens, he would say at once that they ought to be opened on the Sunday, for they were conducive to public health ; but this could not be said of an institution like the British Museum. It was said that opening the museum on Sundays would have a tendency to check immorality; but, so would the representation of a play of Shakspere ; and yet it did not follow that the theatres should be opened on Sunday. Ile thought it would be better to leave the matter in the hands of the trustees of the museum. Mr. WAKLEY thought the speech of the noble lord upon the whole favourable to the motion, and intimated that religious difficulties as regarded the attendants might be got over by employing Jews to attend the museum on Sundays. Mr. WILLIAMS supported the motion. Mr. SHAW thought that, as a Christian community, they should oppose the opening of such institutions on Sundays. If they gave way upon this point, it would be impossible to prevent the opening of the theatres also. After some observations from Captain PECHELL, Mr. GOO LUCE N expressed his opinion that the adop tion of the motion would lead to great desecration of the Sabbath. After some observations from Sir W. Clay, Dr. BOWBING said, in his opinion, the object which Mr. Hume had in view was one of the best ways of con secrating the Sabbath. Mr. H UME was so far satisfied with what had fallen from Lord J. Russell that he would not press his motion to a division. The motion was consequently withdrawn,iand the house went into committee of supply._ In reply to a question from Mr. WILLIAMS, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER intimated that, owing to the failure of the potato crop, he would, on Monday, propose a further grant for the relief of the people of Ireland. A discussion arose on the vote of a sum for altering and improving Buckingham Palace, but it was:carried by a majority of 56 to 6. Various other votes were agreed to, after which the house resumed, and several bills on the paper were for wardel a stage. _ Mr. VILLIERS drew attention to the errors recently discovered to the Corn Importation Bill in reference to the duties on peas, beans, and rye ; and moved that the house should resolve itself into a committee of the whole house upon the subject. Lord G. BENTINCK had no doubt that her Majesty's late Government bad fallen into this blunder. As, how ever, it told in favour of the agriculturist, he did not feel disposed to give up the advantage ; and he hoped her Ma jesty's Ministers would not feel themselves called upon to bring in a bill to remedy the blunder of their prede cessors. If they should do so he would give such a mea sure his decided opposition. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not think it advisable, at this late period of the session, to bring in a bill for altering the Corn Importation Act. After some discussion, in which Mr. E. Yorke, Mr. Henley, Mr. Warburton, and Mr. Escott took part. Mr. VILI lERS withdrew his motion. Mr. HAWES obtained leave to bring in a bill to make better provision for the government of New Zealand, which, he hoped, would have the effect of consolidating the government of that colony, and put an end to those wars which had been so recently desolating those beauti ful islands. Mr. GOULBURN said the bill was one of such impor tance that it ought not to be hurried through parliament at the close of the session. Mr. C. BULLER said the bill was nearly identical with one prepared by the late Government, and which the present ministers found in their offices on their accession --.4010.--- to power. After a short discussion the bill was brought in and read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday next. RAILWAY INTALLit4ENCE. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY. The house met at twelve o'clock, and several bills were advanced a stage. Sir G. GREY moved the third reading of the Deodauds Abolition (No. 2) Bill. Lord G. SOMERSET called attention to the fact, that this bill would not only affect the rights of many indivi duals and corporations, but would also materially affect the private interests of the Sovereign. He therefore thought that the house ought not to accede to it until it had received her Majesty's assent. Sir G. GREY informed the house that the measure had already received that assent. The bill was then read a third time, but on the ques tion that it do now pass, Mr. HENLEY and Mr. S. WORTLEY both objected to the measure. The latter gentleman moved as an amend ment, that a select committee be appbinted•to consider the present state of the law on the subject, and also that of actions for injuries to the p erson b y accident or other- wise. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL could not accede to the amendment, as the subject had already been carefully considered; and after a short discuss ion, in which Mr. WAKLEY, the LORD ADVOCATE, and Mr. HENLEY joined, the house divided, when the numbers for the . motion were—Ayes 51, noes G, majority 45 . The bill was then passed. Sir G. GREY, in moving the second reading of the Small Debts Bill, observed that it had been drawn up by the late government in strict conformity with the recom mendations contained in the reports of the law commis sioners appointed in 1833. It divided the country into districts, appointed competent magistrates to preside in the courts which it created, and gave them jurisdiction in all cases of debt not exceeding £2O. The bill had passed the House of Lords, but in an imperfect state, owing to the non-insertion of the mone y c l auses . He proposed, i ~ f the bill were now read a second time, to commit it pro forma on Wednesday, in order to insert those clauses. The bill would then b e p r i nte d, an d h e proposed to recommit it on Monday. Mr. WILLIAMS suggested that the criminal j ur i s di c ti on of the quarter sessions , which now gave rise to the most anomalous judgments, should be transferred to the local competent judges appointed under this bill. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. INDIA.-THE OVERLAND MAIL, We have received intelligence from Bombay to the Ist of July, and from Calcutta to the Bth of June. The monsoon had set in most favourably ; the suffer ings of the poor were diminished and the cholera had lessened its ravages. Tranquillity prevailed throughout India. In Lahore there was a spirit of dissatisfaction. Money was difficult to be had there. The government was preparing to en force its claims upon the Nawab of Moultan ; he was preparing to defend his town. At Peshawur the Sikh soldiers had exhibited symptoms of insubordination from want of pay ; but some advances had partly pacified them. Gholab Singh was busy in regulating his newly acquired country. Scinde enjoys complete repose. False versions of the Scinde prize money continued to be published in India ; it was represented as if it was chiefly composed of female ornaments. In India those ornaments constitute much of the wealth of each family, and a great portion is said to be the spoil taken by the Ameers 60 years ago from their predecessors. At Cabul there appears to be a system of intrigue going forward for enabling Uhost Mahommed to form a political union with Yeer Mahommed of Herat, under the protec tion of Persia and Russia. Akhbar Khan had returned from Jellalabad, and was in bad humour with all his fa ther's friends at Cabul. The Governor-General was at Simla, in good health ; he was expected in the Jullender Doab after the rains. The destruction of the barracks at Loodianah continued to be much talked of. The losses of her Majesty's 50th Regiment were much regretted. The Rajah of Ludwa, who had been betrayed by the Sikh Prime Minister, Rajah Lall Singh, was coming as a prisoner into the British territory, to be detained for life. The garrison of Kote Kangra, after much vapouring, had surrendered at discretion, when the heavy guns were brought to bear upon it. The occupation of this almost impregnable fort has produced a great effect in the north of India, for the British troops are looked upon as invin cible. Many of the petty Rajahs were anxious to make peace, and to show their willingness to obey the British by surrendering their heavy guns, &c. The Nizam's dominions were in the same state of finan cial embarrassment, and the confusion consequent thereon. Some partial revolts of the half disinclined troops had been put down, by the government making terms for part payment of the sums due. The Governor of Bombay, Sir G. Arthur, who had been seriously ill, was better, and preparing to go into the Deccan. It was said that he was waiting for a successor from England before he took his departure from India. His period for holding the reins of power will expire in next June, but his previous retirement is expected. Sir Henry Roper, the Chief-Justice of Bombay, was also making preparations for resigning his appointment. Much speculation was afloat as to his successor. Sir E. Perry, who was monsoon-bound for some weeks in Cey lon, had returned to Bombay by travelling dawk across India from Madras. He had a narrow escape in Ceylon ; a wild elephant rushed at him down the declivity of a bill. Sir E. Perry threw himself down, and the elephant was driven past by his own weight. The invasion of the Island of Bally by the Dutch is considered to be opposed to the treaties with the British, which prohibit the extension of the Dutch colonies in the Eastern Seas. This subject demands serious considera tion. The Dutch-appear resolved to subjugate that island, much to the dissatisfaction of the British merchants at Singapore. The news of the pacification of New Zealand was vvel corned in India as tending to consolidate British supremacy in that part of the globe. A Bombay-built ship, called the Bombay Castle, bas been burned at Saugor ; suspicion fell upon some persons belonging to her crew. In commercial matters little change is noticed; but ex• pectations of revival are confidently entertained. The Bombay Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current of June 19th remarks :—The monsoon commenced in the beginning of the present month, and as a plentiful fall of rain has already taken place there seems every reason to hope the season will prove a favourable one, and that commercial affairs will assume an improved aspect at its close. As is usual at this time of the year, the business transacted in imports has been very limited in extent, but the pressure in the money market having been in some measure relieved, the market has begun to wear a healthier hue. Exchange.—The money market has literally become somewLat easier than before, but owing to a considerable influx of China bills, exchange has advanced during the month. The rate on England at six months may be quo ted at 2s. Old. to 2s. Old. A sale of five lacs of rupees in government bills on Calcutta took place a few days since, and realized 1021 at 30 days on the average. The present rate is 99 rs. at 60 days' sight. On China, exchange has declined to 205 to 208 rs. per 100 dollars. In produce very little variation has taken place since our last. Copper.-204 cwt. sheathing at Rs. 54 14 per cwt. 563 cwt. braziers' 53 0 20 cwt. tile 47 8 1000 cwt. do. 47 12 Iron.-450 candies British bar at Rs. 31 8 per candy. 160 cwt. hoop 7 4 Steel.-1000 kegs 10 0 Spelter.-675 cwt. (large plates) 11 12 Cotton Manufactures.—The market for cotton fabrics generally has been without animation, and the transactions few and inconsiderable. Prices exhibit no change worthy of notice. Yarn.—We have no sales to report in mule twist, and consequently retain our former quotations as the nominal current rates. In water we hare been informed of sales of 30,0001b5. No. 20 at 7 annas, and 10,0001 b. No. 30 at Bi. annas per lb., both which rates are slightly in ad vance of those last quoted. In dyed yarns there is little doing, though a slight improvement has taken place in orange, which has lately, we believe, been disposed of at 11 annas per lb. The market is still greatly overstocked with coloured yarns. Woollens.—We hear of no sales, and prices remain stationary. Cochineal.—A sale has taken place of 30 packages at re. 3-13-0 per lb. Cotton.—ln consequence of the comparatively small stock in the place, and the low rates of freight, which have tended to induce purchases. the prices of this staple have advanced considerably since our last. They may now be quoted as follows :—Broach and Jumbosee, 81 rs. per candy ; Surat, 82 to 83 rs. ; Dollera, 75 rs. ; Oomrawutty, 80 rs. ; Barsee, 70 rs. ; Compta, (new,) 71 rs. ALEXANDRIA, JULY 29.—The Bombay mail, so long o overdue, arrived at Suez on the morning of the 27th. It appears that the Akbar, which sailed from Bombay on the 19th June, when about 760 miles from that port, expe -1 rienced a severe gale, which caused her considerable injury, r and obliged her to return. She reached Bombay on the • 30th June, when the mail was transferred to the Semira mis, which had a favourable passage to Aden. From • thence the mail was conveyed to Suez by the Atalanta. ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA SIXTEEN DAYS LATER FROM AMERICA At one o'clock ou Wednesday, the Cambria arrived in the Mersey, after an extremely rapid passage across the Atlantic. She brings papers to the Ist instant, being six teen days later than those previously received. Tha following summary of news for Europe appears in the New York Courier and Enquirer of the Ist inst : " The arrival from England in the interim of the Cam bria and the Great Britain, has furnished news of great importance. The triumph of the free trade policy of Sir R. Peel was indeed anticipated, but his fall from power in the moment of his highest glory, was hardly expected. "The language held by the retiring statesman, in the admirable speech with which he took leave of office, con cerning the restored harmony between Great Britain and the United States—and the cordial assent with which that part of the speech seemed to be received by all parties in and out of parliament—have had their echo here, and there is great and general satisfaction in the conviction that a long career of mutual harmony and reciprocal benefit, un interrupted by any disputed question, is now open to both countries. _ _ . . The publication, surreptitious in fact, but authentic in form, in a Philadelphia paper, of the text of the Oregon Treaty, of the message of the President of the United States in asking the advice of the Senate of the United States as to the course he should pursue in relation to it, and of the extracts from Mr. Mc Lane's despatches, com municated at the same time, seem to establish a fact hi therto disputed, that the free navigation of the Columbia River, is granted in perpetuity. '" The official paper of the government at Washington has reiterated—since the reception of Sir R. Peel's speech —the denial that any mediation on the part of Great Bri tain, had been communicated to this government. It is inferred, therefore, that the first effort of Great Britain has been with Mexico, and we may soon expect to hear its re: 111t8. "The latest accounts from Mexico give the impression that a determined effort is to be made by that country to ; repel the hostils attacks of the United States. In a very marked and emphatic passage of the great speech of Mr. Webster, this opinion is asserted, and this government is said to have authentic information thereof. This of course ; renders the friends of honourable peace more anxious that through the friendly mediation of Great Britain, or in ; some other acceptable way, there may be devised sole means of bringing the belligerents to more peaceful minds. " Paredes, at the latest dates from the city of Mexico, 7th July, was still here, not having yet joined the army. Possibly, he awaited the arrival of General Bravo, chosen Vice-President, and who will be the President de facto while Paredes is in the field. Meantime our forces are accumulating on the Rio Grande, and as means of trans portation are procured, columns are pushed on to occupy the towns on that river. Comargo has been entered without resistance, and is now held by a detachment and a reconnisance has been pusoed to the neighbourhood of Monterey, and its report is, that no obstacles of moment will probably interrupt the march, and that no preparati ons of resistance were discernible. " On the seaboard, except in occasional skirmishing be tween the watering parties of our ships blockading Vera Cruz and the troops along shore, nothing has been done. We adhere to the belief that nothing will be attempted against St. Juan de Ulloa. " From the Pacific coast we have no intelligence subse quent to the reception by our squadron there of the news of war existing between the United States and Mexico. fiftinc, nnt in this city for California, are still progressing—they may sail early next moot.. "The proceedings in Congress have resulted in the passage of the new Revenue Bill. It is identical with that published in our last Courier for Europe, with the exception of what then constituted the 9th section, which has been stricken out. The section merely contained provisions to guard, as was su pposed,,against fraudulent invoices—but which was upon the whole considered as Aug. 18, 1846; likely rather to encourage than discourage attempts at fraud. The bill, which is now the law of the land, will doubtless be carefully scanned by parties interested there market value, and at these many parcels have changed hands. OAK has varied very little in price since our navigation opened, and though the demand is not animated there is some inquiry for it. _ _ _ . .11e " The Warehousing Bill is still pending in the House of Representatives, and will probably be passed. It admits all sorts of goods in the warehouse with full liberty to transfer them from one port to another port, under the Custom House surveillance and to enter them, or any part of them, at any time within the year—the limit of the privilege of warehousing—either for consumption or exportation. " The bill to anthorise the issue of Treasury notes to the extent of ten millions, and to keep ten millions always afloat, is now the law, and the committee of the Senate have asked for an unlimited authority to the Treasury to issue notes, as indispensable to the wants of the Govern ment. This authority, however, was refused, but it is certain that a further issue of Treasury notes, or resort to a loan, will be unavoidable, under the increasing war ex penditures, and for a time certainly decreasing revenue from the Customs. " Congress have agreed to adjourn on the 10th of Au gust, so that no new resolutions are likely to be intro duced. They would have named an earlier day, but for the expectation that by the steamer which left Liverpool on the 16th instant, the Oregon treaty duly ratified will be returned and Congress will then at once proceed to pass such laws as may be needful to give it full effect on our side. " There has been a good deal of curiosity to know the object of a visit of two British naval officers to General Taylor, at Matamoras—but as yet nothing has transpired concerning it. They landed from H. M. ship Rose, from TAMARA..-A glance at the returns from the Supervi sor's-office will show how rapidly this description of tim ber is coming into notice, and it is generally supposed that its extreme durability and value will be appreciated in England, and if so, it will in many instances enable us to compete successfully with the Baltic. For railroad pur poses it is deemed by many equal if not superior to red pine, while we can manufacture it fully 30 per cent. cheaper : and it will only be by our low priced timber that our trade will be kept up—for we consieer the reduction of 10s. a load on foreign red pine fatal to our more valua ble wood of this species. . MONTREAL. - . he following is the circular of Messrs. M'Dougal and Glass, dated Montreal, July 27 : The dullness which has characterized our markets for all descriptions of produce during the past two months, still continues unabated. _ . . _ The letters per Great Britain reached town on Friday, the 24th instant, since when no transactions of importance have taken place, holders of the best shipping brands still refusing to offer their stocks at the market rates, although shippers evince a moderate desire to operate. The limited transactions which occurred previous to the arrival of the Great Britain, were effected at the following rates : FLOUR.—Shipping parcels of " fine," at - 215.. " extra fine," 21s. 6d., and " superfine," at 225. to 225. lld. ; second rate and mixed lots of " fine" finding at the same time purchasers for consumption, at 20s. to 203. 3d. per barrel. WHEAT.—Very little offering. Samples of good mid dling U. C. have been placed at 4s. to 4s. 3d., and a su perior lot of about 5000 bushels at 4s. sd. per 601 b. ASHES.—Good shipping parcels have changed bands at 2ls. 6d. to 21s. 9d. for pots, and pearls at 20s. 104 d. per cwt. ; the demand for the former being good and the latter dull. Small bills sell at 3d. to 6d. under these respective rates. Tampico. " Gen. Santa Ana and Gen. Almonte, at the latest dates from Havana, (20th inst.) still remained there, and the expectation that these officers contemplated any pre sent departure for the coast of Mexico, seemed aban doned. THE MORMON EMIGRATION.—We quote the following information respecting this strange community from the St. Louis Republican of July 15.—The Hancock Eagle, of Friday last, notices the arrival there of Mr. S. Cham berlain, who left the most distant camp of the Mormons at Council Bluffs, on the 26th ult., and on his route passed the whole line of Mormon emigrants. He says that the advance company of the Mormons, with whom were " the twelve," had a train of one thousand wagons, and were encamped on the east bank of the Missouri River, in the neighbourhood of the Council Bluffs. They were em ployed in the construction of boats, for the purpose of crossing the river. The second company had encamped temporarily at station No. 2, which has been christened Mount Pisgah. They mustered about three thousand —,,,--_ The Augsburg Gazette states that Prince Metternich strong, and were recruiting their cattle preparatory to a is reported to be seriously indisposed, and that the rumour fresh start.
