imptrial Varitatuent. HOUSE OF LORDS—MONDAY. The Marquis of Normanby mined that an address be pre sented to her Majesty for the report of the commissioners on the case of the hand-loom weavers. The motion was agreed to. PRINCE ALBERT'S NATURALIZATION BILL. Lord MELBOURNE, in moving that. Prince Albert's Na turalization (and Precedence ') Bill be considered in com mittee, renounced that part of the measure which was un connected with the object expressed in the title. He desired that it should pass with as much speed and as little opposi tion as possible, and he therefore should not press the pro vision respecting the Prince's precedence, leaving it to be ar ranged at some future period. Lord BROUGHAM asked whether the portion relating to the power of granting precedence was abandoned or merely postponed ? Lord MELBOURNE, in answer, stated that it was not yet arranged. lord Bitou.ofrAxt remarked that he trusted the matter would be decided by Parliament; and notliy . prerogativ& , as the former course would reduce thelaw on the su biect . (which was now uncertain) to a certainty. • The Marquis of LOLDONDERRY said that he had origin ally directed attention to this part of the bill because- lie thought that when it was stated that the proposition had been acquiesced in by the royal family, that a cqiiiescence ought to have been recorded in the journals of that house. The precedence clause having been strack out, the bill went through committee, was reported, read a third time, and passed, and then carried to the Commons —the standing or der& of the house having been suspended to allow the bill thus speedily to go through its remaining stages. THE CONDEMNED CHARTISTS. Lord BRouo HAM presented a petition from certain inhabi tants of London and Westminster. praying the house to ad dress the crown to discharge Frost. Williams, and Jones from prison. Previously to laying the petition on the table of the house, Lord Brougham remarked at great length upon•the subject, and upon the reemt decision of the 15 judges in re ference to the reserved point of law. In the course of those observations be said that a stronger case—infinitely strength ened by the arrangement made with the counsel at the trial— for absolute acquittal he confessed that he had never-known in the whole course of his professional existence, . The Marquis of NORMANBY afterwards communicated that the capital part of the sentence would not be carried into ex ecution, but that the sentence would he commuted to trans portation for life. SOCIALISM. The Bishop of EXETER deferred till Tuesday his motion on the subject of " socialism." The right rev. prelate did so, in compl►ance with the request ~f the Archbishop of Can terbury and of the Bishop of London. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented petitions on the subject. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF' COMMaNS.-MONDAY Several petitions were presented, and among others one by Sir E. SUODEN, signed by 599 members of the bar, (27 of whom were Queen's counsel, or serjeants.at-law,) deploring the proceedings which the house has had recourse to in the privilege question, and praying that the persons now in cus tody may be discharged. Lord ASHLEY gave notice, that on Thursday next he will move an address to the Crown that the appointment of Mr. Pare to be registrar of births and marriages at Birmingham be cancelled : and Mr. Liddell gave notice, that on Tuesday next he will move for a copy of the warrant by which a pension has been granted to Sir John Newport,—and also for a copy of the patent conferring upon Lord Monteagle (late Spring Rice) the Controllership of the Exchequer. THE QUEEN'S MARRIAGE. Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated, in answer to a question from Sir R. Inglis, that he intended to propose that the house should adjourn from Friday next to Tuesday next. It was understood in the house that this adjournment is to take place in consequence of her Majesty's marriage being fixed for Monday next. PRINCE ALBERT'S ANNUITY BILL. Prince Albert's annuity bill then went through committee, after an amendment proposed, but not pressed, by Colonel Sibthorp, For the termination of the annuity, if, after the Queen's demise, the Prince should reside in England less than six consecutive months of each year, or " cease to pro fess and adhere to the Protestant religion as by law estab lished in these realms." Sir ROBERT PEEL thought it better that the house should put confidence in the Prince's disposition to attach himself to England, and abstain from anything that could look like distritst. IRISH MUNICIPAL BILL Lord Moarara brought in the municipal corporations (Ireland) bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Friday se'rinight. PRIVILEGE. Mr. Daum. then moved that Wm. Evans, Esq., and John Wheaton, Esq., sheriff of Middlesex, " be discharged from the custody of the sergeant-at-arms." Sir R. INGLIS seconded the motion. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the motion which the hon. member had made for the liberation of the sheriff. If the privileges of the house had been vindicated, he (the At torney-General) would have been the last to have opposed the motion, but if the motion was now agreed to, he would say that the privileges of the house would be for ever lost— (hear, heal.) The honourable member had not advanced a single reason to show why the sheriff ehould be liberated. A largemajority of the house had decided that the conduct of the sheriff was a breach of privilege, and that the privilege was part and parcel of the law of the laud. The hon. mem ber seemed to think that the opinion of an interior court—a court of law—ought to overrule the decision of the High Court of Parliament. Sir R. IN GLIB thought that as the hon. member for East Sussex (Mr. Darby) had abstained from entering into the question of nrivilege, the Attorney-General had unnecessarily travelled into that part of the subject. He (Sir R. I.) would ask were the privileges of the house not already vindicated, as the Court of Queen's Bench had decided in favour of the power of the house to commit for contempt ? The case was no longer in the state it was before the Court of Queen's Bench had recognised their privileges. It was very well for the Attorney-General to talk lightly of the sufferings of the two gentlemen. The room in which they were confined did not exceed in size the table before the speaker—(hear, hear)l and he would ask the Attorney-General how he would like to be compelled to reside, even in his own house, in a room of such small dimensions. He would call the attention of the how el to the terms of the oath which a party serving the 'office of sheriff had to take. He ..,wears that he will truly return and truly serve all tilt' :Queen's writs to the best of his knowledge. He would put it to the house whether any person taking such an oath was not bound by it to act as the sheriffs had done. He would ask not whether they were jus tified in committing the sheriffs, but whether they would be now justified in not releasing them. Sir WILLIa si FOLLETT said, that he felt very forcibly that the enlargement of the sheriffs would lose half its force upon the public opinion, and leave them half its grace if there were to be a division on it, or if the boon were qualified by a condition. (Loud cheers.) If this course could not, in the noble lord's mind, he taken to-night, or if the time had gone by for taking such a course, in that noble lord's mind, he would now express his hope that the noble lord would be able to come down to the house on a future night and make a proposition for their discharge without any condition. (Cries of " oh, oh," and cheering.) If that, however, should not be agreeable to the noble lord, and.the question should, contrary to his wish and suggestion, be pressed to a division, he should certainly vote with his lion. friend the member for Sussex. (Loud cheering from the opposition side of the house.) The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the motion in a speech of consderable length. Sir E. SUGDEN rose, and there beihg some indisposition to proceed with the debate, Mr. Pryme moved the adjournment, which was agreed to. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS—TUESDAY. Some petitions were presented on various subjects. CUURCB OF SCOTLAND. The Earl of ABERDEEN gave notice, that on Thursday next, in presenting petitions to the house, he would put a question to the noble marquis opposite, respecting. the inten tentions of her majesty's government, with reference to the present state of the church of Scotland. - INLAND WAREHOUSES. Viscount STRANGFORD said that in consequence of com mu nications he had received from various commercial bodies, and also in consequence of a bill being introduced into the other house of parliament on the subject of inland warehouses preciseh similar in its provisions to the bill of last year—he was anxious to know whether the noble viscount opposite would have any objection to produce any opinions that might have been given by any of the fiscal boards in the coun try as to the probable operation of that bill on the revenue. Viscount MELBOURNE would inquire whether there were any such documents. Viscount STRANGFORD thought it was impossible to legis late satisfactorily on the subject without having those papers before the house. SOCIALISM. Society. The Bishop of EXETER presented a _s Friend oc petition from the British and Foreign Seamen and Soldier' stating that one of the causes which contributed to p ro d immorality among soldiers and sailors, was the spread of sg cialism, and proving the house to adopt such measures as in its judgment might deem meet, to prevent the extension of those pernicious doctrines. Also a similar petition from the inhabitants and householders of Cheltenham in the county of Gloucester, and from the householders and inhabitants of Winteralow in the county of Wilts, deploring that the soci alist system had been introduced into the immediate neigh bourhood of the petitiOners, and a Sunday evening lecture established, at which doctrines most dangerous to religion and morality were propitoted, praying the house to take im ineutate steps to stop the progress of socialism, and to secure to tne people of this country the religion, peace, and content ment which, as a nation and as ir.dividuals they have hitherto enjoyed. TEYN HAM presented a petition from a lady, corn ► initug ti.at ttx system of socialism bad been misrepresented, a d praying ti.e house to wake inquiries respecting it. PRIVILEGES OF PARLIAMENT. Lord BROUGHAM fro:n two I,:divil,l4, so l id he had now to present a petition . I „, te d, and alarelin!ace h d in a situation strange, unprece -.itHa from William Evans Eve presented to their - lordships. a s . a r j, of London and Mirr, and John Wheeltou, Esqrs., and the petition appeared. CO :le presented to the house, not merely in its legislative capacity, but as the highest cou i r ' t 'Dt o l t e j e udicature known to the , . laws of these realms, and front off might of a court ou whose judicial decision their lordships iave to sit injudg went ; as also upon the conduct of tt i e i t hu sheriffs as officers of that court over which their lordships' of the unquestioned jurisdiction. In regard to' the hardship and paramount importance of the subject, an d t 7 se, the high respectful, to their touching, and submissive nature of the appeal the statements of lordships, lie would venture to engage for the slit:lie:M.4 the petition that attention which their lordships . to the petitions of every class of their fellow:subject . Y 8 g T a h v` .,: . noble and learned lord proceeded to read the petition, s. v e c, recapitulated the leading points of the whole affair, inter. -- spersin i t remarks on the inconsistency displayed by the attorney-general and the House of Commons in the proceed. fug, and offering other comments, but rather- avoiding t o Five auy d ec id e d o pinion on the subjec t. He conclu ded , however, by saying that neither house of parliament would, unless they were clearly in the light, and the judges clearly .n the wrong, ion stand a conflict with the courts of law, or conveniently r do so with ti e country , an d the suitors of a province containing two millions of inhabit ants, while the adm i nistration of justice was choked up by, the imprison ment of those civil officers through whom it was to be ad ministered. Lord MELUOURNE thought his noble and learned friend would have acted much more prudently, much more justly, and much more properly,lrltsies?ccially a ft e r admitting, as he had done, that their o interfere, had he abstained . f*Ps house had not the power .to corn making these observations. _____ VEIL ARMY IN INDIA. On the motion of Lord MF.LBOURNE, and after some remarks from the Duke of Wellington, the thanks of their lordships veers voted to the Governor-General of India, Lord A uc kl a nd, to Lord Keane, to Major-General Sir Willoughby Cotton, and the other officers and men engaged in the mili tary operations to the westward of the Indus, and that the Governor•Oenernl be requested to communicate the same. SOCIALISM. After a question from Lord Bitoucnasi as to a possible eon tinge u cv requirinl, a regency, to which no answer was given, The Bishop of Ex ETE a addressed the house at great length', and with much energy of argument and language, on the subject of socialism, and concluded by moving that humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that bar Majesty would be pleated to command that inquiries should he made into the ditTusion of blasphemous and lm.. moral publications, especially as to the tenets and proceedings of a society established under the name of socialists, who were represented in petitions presented to this house to he a so ciety, the object of which was, by the kliffusion of its doctrines, to destroy the existing laws and institutions of this country. Lord NORMAN BY, agreeing with the right rev. prelate in his abhorrence of the doctrines denounced, doubted the ne cessity of the step recommended for their suppression. The motion, after a discussion in which several noble lords took part. was agreed to without a division, and the house adjourned. lIOUSF.' OF COMAIONS—TrEsDAY -Numerous petitions were presented, amongst them one from a parish in Hampshire, praying the house to take steps to check the ,progress of . socialism. The petitioners com plained of the annoyances to which they were themselves subjected, in consequence of the socialist meetings held upon the Sabbath ih their neighbourhood, at which the most mis chievous and blasphemous doctrines were propounded. EDUCATION. 'Sir R..Ix.GtO gavt:t trotire that on Tuesday, the, jBth he would move that it is the duty 'af this house to provide fur ther means for the religious instruction of the people; through the medium of the established church: (Ironical cries of hear," from the ministerial b enches.) • • DIVORCE . BILLS. . . • Mr. LABOUCHEitE gave notice that on Tuesday, the 11th, he would move that in future all divorce bills should be re ferred to acotnniittee of seven. Mr. HTJME said he should on'that occasion take the sense of the house as to the propriety of removing divorce bills altogether from parliament. TURNPIKE TRUSTS Mr. Fox MAULE gave notice, that on Thursday next he Would propose a measure with regard to turnpike trusts. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. In answer to questions'from Mr. Barron, • Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that it was the intention of the government to introduce a bill with regard to the ecclesiasti cal courts, but he could not state the exact time when that bill would be introduced. He could not say whether it was intended to adopt a measure of a similar nature with regard to Ireland, without consulting his friend the Lord-lieutenant of Ireland. THE CONVICTED TRAITORS. In reply to a question from Sir B. Hall, ' Mr. — .Fox MAU.LE said it Was quite correct that FrOst, Jones,./ind Williams had been removed from ;11ontnouth to the hulks at Portsmouth. The government having' decided on the punishment of those individuals, it was judged neces sary that no time should be lost in carrying it into effect. POSTOFFICE REGULATIONS. Sir C. 'KNIGHTLEY complained that the new postoffice regulationFtwere attended with irregularities and inconveni ence. In the course of the last week, not fewer than four letters of his own had miscarried ; and he 'knew of an instance in which a letter, addressed to a gentleman living in Charles-street, was charged twopence in addition to the pre paid penny. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that if the bon. member would have the goodness to communicate to the authorities at the postoffice, inquiries would be immedi ately made, and steps taken to prevent the recurrence of such irregularities. THE LATE DUKE. OP YORK'S DEBTS. Mr. LEA.DER said, that he had been requested by several of his constituents, who were creditors of the estate of the late Duke of York, to inquire whether the proceeds of cer tain mines at'Cape Breton, which had been adjudged by the law authorities of . England to .he the- property of the duke, were applied to the purposes of the state, or, as as they ought to he, to the liquidation of the illustrious duke's debts ? Lord J. RUSSELL said, that he was not at the moment able to answer the question, but he would make inquiry, and give an answer as early as he could. IMPORTATION OF FOP-EIGN COFFEE. An hon. MEMBER begged leave to ask the right hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it was contem plated to take any steps to prevent foreign plantation coffee, which had been imported into British colonies, from being imported thence into Great Britain under the name of British plantation coffee? Mr. LABOUCHERE thought it would not be right of the government to express any opinion on the subject till he was prepared to say what measure they would bring forward. IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN FLOUR INTO IRELAND. Mr. ROCHE begged leave to ask the President of the Board of Trade, whether he was about to bring forward any mea sure with regard to the importation of foreign flour into Ire land. Mr. LABOUCHERE was anxious to give the house an op portunity of discussing the subject. He had accordingly given notice of his intention of bringing in a bill with respect to it almost at the commencement of the present session. He would postpone the second stage of the bill, in order to enable hon. members for Ireland to ascertain the principles of the measure. PRINCE ALBERT'S NATURALIZATION BILL. The house went into committee, and the bill was then read a third time, and passed. PRIVILEGE. The deputy-sergeant-at-arms reported that a messenger from the house was at Mr. Burton Howard's, but he could not be found, and his wife said that he was in the country. Mr. HUME wished to know whether Mr. B. Howard's son had been directed to attend ? _ _ Lord Jonx RUSSELL moved that Mr. Howard be ordered to attend at the bar of the house, and that the sergeant-at arms be authorised to take him into custody for that pur pose. Sir E. SUGDEN suggested a milder course, which he thenght would be equally satisfactory. It was, to come to a resolu tion, that leaving the notice at the house of Mr. Burton Howard should be deemed good service of such notice. Such was , the practice adopted by courts of law under similar cir cumstances. After some further remarks from Sir ROBERT INGLI§, Mr GOULBURN, and Mr. Sunw, the motion was carried. DISCONTENT OF THE WORKING CLASSES. Mr. S LANEY moved for a select committee to inquire into the causes of the discontents and difficulties of the labouring classes, &c. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN seconded the motion. Mr, LAMBTON was of opinion that the proposed inquiry was of too indefinite a nature to be productive of any good results. Mr. INGHAM thought the inquiry should he confined to a few objects, and those of practical utility. Mr. BROTHERTON supported the motion. He urged the importance of inculcating temperance, to the want of which he attributed a great part of the crime which has increased the misery of the poor. Mr. VILLIERS believed that the intelligence of the people was the cause of their discontent; they had learnt to know the faults of the laws under which they lived. He wished Mr. Slaney to limit the terms of his motion. Lord Jon Rusau.i. said, that as a ministerof the crown, he.could not agree ,to so large an inquiry as:the terms of this motion would embrace, but that he would not resist an in quiry-limited to the matters which had formed the chief topics of the - mover's speech. He would not pleadoguilty to having held 'out false . hopes of constitutional change, but the house would itself be guilty or this. Should it appoint a select coin mittee_to report upon such such s u bj ec t s ballot, annual parliamenlS, and universalsuffrage. The large towns were probably better 'Ordered in. their internal arrangements than the new manufacturing villages, where great populations had siiddenlY grownup, and this last class of districts might , be usefully brought under inquiry. If, therefore, the motion could be lina4cd:so as to exclude the political, and confine it self lathe Ideal, class of topics, he should be inclined to ac cede.to it. . , '" • Mr. BitzscaElhoUght it better to have no inquiry at all than one which would exclude what he thought the main grievances. Mr. WAKLEY deemed the discussion ridiculous in a House of Commons which wanted the disposition, or else the capa city, to apply the proper remedies : and he repeated an opinion expressed by other speakers, that the mover was not adequate to the task he had undertaken. Sir H. VERNEY then proposed, apparently in concert with Lord John, an amendment, for a committee to inquire into the conditiou of the working 'classes in the manufacturing and mining districts. Mr. BRINES explained the evil endured by the poorer in habitants of Leeds and other populous towns, from the want of sewers in inferior streets. He was decidedly in favour of the motion, limited as it had been by Sir H. 'Verney. Both motions were ultimately withdrawn. BEER HOUSES. Mr. PAKINGTON then brought forivard his motion for a bill to amend the laws regarding the sale of beer. He ob tained leave to bring in such bill. JUVENILE OFFENDERS. Sir E. "WILMOT obtained leave to bring in hills to autho rise the summary couvic,tion of juvenile offenders in certain cases of larceny, and to authorise trustees of free grammar schools to enlarge the system of education therein pursued, under certain restrictions. INTERCOURSE BETWEEN THE COLONIES. Mr. V. Swill rose for leave to bring in a bill to extend to the British colonies in the. West Indies the act of the sth and Gth of William IV., for regulating the carriage of pas sengers in merchant vessels. In doing so, the hon. member briefly stated the objects of the bill. Mr. HUME hoped, if there was any new matter to be in troduced into that bill, that the house would have it fully before theinefor discussion. Lord J. RUSSELL said there was a subject somewhat con nected with this matter, on which, as it was of very great im portance, he wished to state to the house his opinions, as it might be necessary to take into consideration the question of the bill coolies. He did not mean then to give any notice of a motion on this subject, but merely to state what he con sidered from the knowledge he had acquired relative to their condition. With respect to those who had been transferred to the British colonies, although considering that in some states they had not materially suffered, yet the result of the experiment having been unsuccessful, and considering the great distance of the voyage they had to undertake, and the chances of their being without any knowledge of the country to which they were'going, and the chances of their not bring ing sufficient provisions for their journey, it had not been deemed advisable, with regard totbe intentions of the House of Commons, that permission should be given for people to depart from India to Demerara, or the West India Islands. However, with regard to another part of the same subject, namely, the emigration of the natives from India to the Mauritius, the reports from the latter place led him (Lord John Russell) to form a different conclusion. There had been introduced into that colony about twenty thousand individuals from India, and it did not appear, by any thing which he could le arn , t h at they had - been by any means sufferers ; on the contrary, they had receives good the conditions on w hi ch they bad gone there, n wa ges, had been well treated, an d h a d b een, moreover, per f of o enforce their con di tions against such of taleicedt enabledirlyma t e a .a stt e. masters os had attempted to break through them. The intercourse, too, between Calcutta and the Mauritius was such as enabled them with great facility to communi cate their . condition and prospects to their connexions at home . . Many of thein had engaged themselves for five expirat on of that time to years, and- at the more, but that 't • engage themselves for five 1 eels prole were 7 Willing bitecl to do so. As the case then stood, many of these wished to go to India for a while and see their friends, and then return to the Mauritius- to engage again in labour, as they were there able to earn good wages. It had been Russell)c to allow them to go for proposed to him (Lord J. of _ _ five years; but (as an apprenticeship, as it was calle , tight again be the noble lord was understood) he had objected to tha . t, considering that after one year a contract n . made, and there was no reason, as apprenticeship meaned the leanliag of a trade, why so long a•term of service as that of five years should be undertaken. If the period or term of , one year wa s eanctioned, it seemed to him that by sen din g out inspectors or regulators or whatever they might be called, to India, with s t r i ct orders to see proper measures pursue d towards those peopl e , they might be enabled to earn b et t er wages than they otherwise could ; and if he did not think that he bettered their conditio n , he should not feel himself justified in acceding to that ; or, at least, that no injury would accrue to the labourers. He did not then mean to propose. any measure on this subject ; but as it was his inten bon to propose some relaxation of the actual prohibition then intention and opinions, as in operation in India, against the transfer sitrhoafdththosoeuginhdtiivtidruigalhst t7iinnfotlrimat. c th ou e n p t a ry ai t a o na t e h; IVl o.f au h ii s itiis discussio n , or upon a well as the grounds of forming them. Mr. Httete said it would be scarcely fair to introduce a i description,l I su t proper to have the matter gone mere statement no • • notice. Mr. without further measure oftbat understood to say. that no new matter Mr. V. Shf ITH was his bill, as Mr. Hume feared. of kind thatw was to be introduced into not then sufficiently acquainted with the subject before the house Mr. G " LButeN was to give any decided opinion etpon it, but he would reserve to himself the right of here. after discussing it upon proper data. After a few words in reply from Lord 3, ittiasrLio ti4e leave to bring in the bill, sought ibr by Mr. Smitb, was grunted. COPYRIGHT LAW Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD tnnvedfor leave to bring. in a bill " to amend the law of copyright ;"—a motion that le4 to considerable discussion. Mr. WAtualric moved, as an amendment, that a select com mittee be appointed to inquire into the operation of the ex isting laws of copyright, and to report thereon to the house. Mr. Sergeant TALFO URD said, seeing that the hostility to his motion was unmitigated, and that no inquiry was likely to abate it, he should-press the . motion to a divii.ion. The house divided, and the numbers were—ayes, 75 ; noes, 53; majority in favour of the motion, 22. Mr. GILLON moved for leave to bring in'a bill to enable persons holding licenses to sell beer, spirits, and other ex ciseable liquors, to obtain a'renewail of their licenses from the excise of Scotland. After remarks from Mr. Pringle, Mr. Oswald, Air. Lock hart, and• Mr. Goulburn, The CuANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER satd he would not object tai' the introduction'of.tike: bill,, although he, was not preparedto concur in all its provisions. ~• Leave was then given to bring in the bill. Mr. LABOUCHERE then moved for, and obtained leave to brimg in a bill for establishing " inland bonded warehouses;" it was precisely the same bill as previously introduced. Lord J. RUSSELL moved the appointnient of a select com mittee " on the publication of printed papers by order of the house." Agreed to, and committee nominated. The remaining buAness being disposed of, the house ad journed. • HOUSE. OF LORDS.---WEDNESDAY. PRINCE ALBERT'S ANNUITY BILL. Prince Albert's Annuity Bill was brought from the Com mons, and read a first time. It was to be read - a second time yesterday (Thursday), and would then probably be passed through all its other stages, Lord Melbourne having obtained a suspension of the standing orders for that pitrpose. There was no other business of importance. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--WEDNEFMAY. THE CONVICTED CHARTISTS. Mr. LEADER, Mr. HUME, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, and Col. SALwEr, presented petitions from Frost, Williams, and Jones, for free pardon," founding. the prayer on the lan guage of the judges at the trials, on the argument regarding the service of the list of witnesses, &c. • There were also pe titions on the subject from various parts of London; and ex tensively signed. Mr. LEADER proposed the motion he had intended to found on the petitions, at the suggestion of Mr. Kelly. Lord J. Russlim, said that the government was not pre pared to lay any further information before the house upon the subject than was already before it. Mr. EWART presented a petition from Birmingham, in favour of the prisoners. He stated that he should call atten tion to it on Tuesday next. IRISH CORPORATIONS. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON gave notice that, on the second reading of the municipal corporations (Ireland) bill, he should call attention to the petition from Clomnel, praying for ex emption from the bill. Mr. BARNABY gave notice of his intention, on Tuesday, to move a resolution respecting the clause proposed to he inserted in all future canal or railway hills, relative to bridges over, or tunnels under, turnpike roads. Prince Albert's Annuity Bill was read a third time. The bill was then sent to the House cf Lords. After the presentation of petitions on the subject, Mr. E. TEIVNENT movedthe second reading of , the De .signs Copyright Bill. After some conversation, the bill was read a second time. The. second reading of the Replevin (Ireland) Bill was, after some discussion, deferred. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in committee of " ways and means," moved that £2,500,000 be granted by transfer of aids for the service of her Majesty. conversation thereon arose respecting the funding of ex chequer bills last year, and of the withdrawal for such pur pose of savings bank deposits; the Chancellor of the Ex chequer promising to make inquiries in consequence of ob servations from Mr. Berries, and hereafter to state the re sult to the house. _ _ The resolution for the grant was then agreed to, and the report ordered to be received on Thursday. Mr AGLIONBY'S motion for returns regarding Chancery fees, &c., having been adopted, the house adjourned. SECOND EDITION. Stantlard Qffice, Three o'clock. RUMOURED CHANGES J.N THE CAM:NTT. (Frani the Standard of yesterday.) There seems an absolute certainty of a change in the construction of the - Cabinet. One report is, and it is from high quarters, that LOrd Brougham is to come in as Lord PriVy Seal, in lieu of Lord Lansdowne, and to lead in the Lords for ministers. Another is that Lord Howick and'CharleS Wood are to return to office on the retirement of Lord Melbourne; but at any rate it seems t 6 be avowed that Material changes are to take place and are now in progress, with a view to the re tirement of the Juke Milieu party, and the infusion of fresh forces from the Extreme Gauche. By the packet-ship Columia . , Capt. Cropper, which arrived here this morning, we have received New York papers to the 20th ultimo, inclusive. The Columbus has had a remarkably quick passage, considering the tempestuous weather which has latterly prevailed. She has brought home no specie. She had ten passengers on board. The last. advices received from England at New York were up to the 14th of December, by the packet-ship Garrick. The intelligence taken out by the Garrick operated favourably upon the markets at New York. At Philadelphia business was dull, caused partly by the cold weather, which had so completely closed the navigation, that it would be some time before a chan nel could be made by the ice-boats, for towing vessels into the port. . On the 18th of January there was a large business done in the Stock Market at New York, but very little change was observed in the general aspect of the money market. In foreign exchanges the business done for the packet was but light. The supply of bills, how- . ever, was fair, and generally of a good description. The quotations in London were from 61 to 7i. Opera tions in foreign exchanges were materially suspended in consequence of the expected arrival of the British Queen, the detention of which vessel in England had . not yet been ascertained at New York. Domestic ex changes were improving. Philadelphia bank notes were bought at 5i to 6. . We have no news of any importance from Canada. The same remark applies to the South American States. The Maine boundary question had been brought before the Senate, when resolutions were passed for an inquiry into the negociations which had taken place, during the last two years, between General Scott and Sir John Harvey. We find in the New York Morning Courier and En quirer the melancholy details of two additional explo sions of steam-vessels, one of which, as will be seen from the subjoined extracts, was accompanied by a frightful sacrifice of human life. The number that perished on board the Lexington had not been cor rectly ascertained, but it was estimated at about ON u HUNDRED AND FORTY. Among the lists of the pas sengers we do not recognise a single Englishman. They all . appear to have been Americans. We give the particulars at as great length as practicable. [Since writing the above we have ascertained that " Samuel Henry, of the firm of S. & A. Henry, Man chester, England," was among the passengers on board the Lexington.] DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF A STEAM VESSEL. (From the Morning Courier and Enquirer of Jan. 1.6.1 The city was throws► into a state of extreme consternation, by intelligence of a most fatal accident having befallen the steamboat Lexington, which left here on Monday afternoon, under the command of Captain George Child, on her usual trip to Stonington. We have gathered from Captain Hil lard, almost the only survivor—at least as present appear ances lead us to dread from this awful scene of death, from Captain Brooks of the New Haven steamboat, who received Captain Hillard on board—from the sloop Merchant, Captain Meeker, who rescued him, and from Captain Jennings, of the sloop Ganges, who left Southport, to which place the sloop Merchant belonged. and whither she had returned, the following particulars of this distressing event : The Lexington prosecuted her voyage until half-past seven o'clock in the evening, when being between Eaton's Neck and Crane's Neck, a fire was discovered to have broken out near the smoke pipe, among some bales of cotton which were stowed near it, or to which at least the llaMes speedily spread. An attempt was then made to get out the - suction pipe, and by means of water thrown from it on the flames, extinguish them ; but these spread with such rapidity, that soon all access to the engine was impossible, and it continued to work for a time with fearful rapidity. Captain• Childs, it would appear, then determined to steer the boat for the nearest part of the Long Island shore, and he was last seen in the wheel house at the helm. In fifteen minutes, however, the engine became immoveable, and the course of the boat arrested about two miles from the land. .'Here she continued to burn until about 3 o'clock in the morning, when what remained of her sank. It were needless to Attempt to describe the scene of ago nized confusion which ensued among the passengers, and in deed all on board, as soon as the fire was discovered. No order was preserved, or, any attempt made to preserve it. 'I he life-boat which was on board was thrown over, forward of the wheel, was struck by the paddles, and broken to pieces. The Lexington had three boats besides, which were launch ed by the passengers while she was under full way, and im mediately swamped. Some twenty of them who had life.. preservers about them, jumped overboard, and the rest were ee t i l ri o lzy w e r i o i s f. t oteghsecetahies Mississippi, i 1)11,1 ei , ino. of g rtebsi ss last seen as the flames drove them from the higher parts of the steamboat, clinging in clusters to the guard-braces, where they hung of the a l rt a dh l e, l t went pbarsm the passengers o p l o ' Cr t t h a— e Pt i i r t e ei was such as to leave no hope, com menced throwing the deck freight overboard, probably in the expectation that some parts of it would remain floating, o s f u t c l e w e e b d o e a d t and might be the means of saving some of them.

H. assisted in throwing, about tetnhebalsaeims o e f b e a o l ;t: a n nd ov t e h r e b s o e a t r w d o , a , i b nl y on to the sea until ' about f in leaping on one of them. w h O i e n he tohfetyhpeicfikreedmeunp our Until comparatively the bale capsized,but righted o'clock in the morning, When . i n also k meansekeeping. oi succeeded a. the pieceinbaleof getting h board dr o_ d u kept the upper part of their And now the fireman were now completely wet to the skin.. again with both of them in Oak-street H. that his name was Cox, and that he resided him up, and at New York. Ca H. endeavoured to cheer him pt. begun to despond, talked of his wife and children, told Capt. on n bo i ci t ies wax rescued morning he expired. At 11 o'clock Capt. H. last - lashed him to the bale, but at about 8 o'clock in the by Capt. Meeker, in the sloop Merchant of F Alt hort. The same vessel also rescued Captain Manchester, the pilot, and a fireman named Smith, who were each on a bale of cotton. The fireman says, that soon after the fire was dis covered, he sought refuge on the rudder, expecting the boiler would burst, but whilst there, two boys, who could not swim, entreated him to give them his place, hich he consented to, on condition that they threw him a bale of cotton, which they did, and to which he swam. The boat then drifted some distance ahead ofhim, but when her upper works were burned, he again floated near her, and saw several of the passengers and crew on pieces of the wreck. They, however, all gradu ally became exhausted, and fell off. Captain Manchester, the pilot, adds littleto the above par ticulars.; he and the firenlan last spoken of, were badly frozen. We ann'x a list of as many passengers as on diligent in, quiry we cotialearn were on board. We do not, however, vouch for its entire accuracy ; though in the main we believe it will be found correct, as far as it goes. Captain' Hillard estimates the number of passengers. at 130; but Capt. Man chester says he thinks there were no more than 75 on board, and w.e find that this latter natober is cpusidered at the office of the Company to which the boat befonged,- to be the nearest , probability. What chance is there that any more have been rescued'—rapt. Hillard says, that at about eight o'clock in the morning a schooner, bearing to westward, passed him while on the bale of cotton . . about a mile off. She did not see him, but it is possible she may have fallen in with some of the other passengers floating on, the pieces of the wreck. The conflagration of the boat was seen from Norwalk an a Bridgeport, on the Connecticut shore, but the - state of the tide and the ice prevented them getting out their boats to be assistance, and though the attempt was made, it was found impossiblg to succeed. From the Long Island shore, we have as yet no accounts, and it is possible, as the flames must have been still more visible there,.that some effectual assistance may have been rendered to the unfortunate beings who were floating on the waves, yet the sea was so very high, and the cold so intense, that it seems almost a forlorn hope. (From the Courier and Enquirer of Jan. 18.) From the New Haven Daily Herald (extra) of Tuesday evening, we find an account of the mode in which the tire took, which is somewhat more explicit and satisfactory than any ether which has met our eye. " The fire," says that jouin was discovered a little after seven o'clock, under a tier of cotton bales, piled nmidship, against the wooden box or frame which enclosed the pipe leading from the fire room below, thiS boat having her holier on her kelson, or un der deck. This pipe led through the freight above, and the ignition of the cotton had become so extensive before the tire engine and hose of the boat could_ he put in operation, that both crew and passengers were so overwhelmed in smoke, and the natural agitation of the moment, that all efforts to subdue the fire were unavailing." We understand from a source on which we can rely, that the pilot, Captain Manchester, says, that shortly after the fire broke out, he went to the wheel house, got the wheel hard up, and then the rope parted, it being hide rope, connecting with the chain and iron rods. He - then sprung 'down to launch the lite boat, which was broken by the paddles, as has been already described. . A bale of cotton was his next .resource, to which he found a man lashed. Finding, during the night, that the man was dead; he cut his body loose, fearing that it might cause the bale to turn over. Manchester was.picked up, lashed to the bale, senseless and how he came so lashed, he does not re collect. Smith. one of the hands also saved, says that he jumped overboard at about eight o'clock, and swam to a bale of cot ton, after floating on which five hours and a half in the wa ter, he got back to the wreck, and warmed himself for an hour by the fire, and then got on that part of the wreck from which he was picked up. STEAMBOAT DISASTER The steamboat Belle of Missouri, bound from New Or leans for St. Louis," whilst wooding about a mile below Li berty, Illinois, on the evening of Christmas-day, took fire and was totally consumed. She bad on board a valuable cargo, and a large number of deCk passengers. The follow ing letter from the commander to the owners gives the par ticulars :-- " Steamboat Susquehanna, Dec. 25, 1839. " The steamboat Belle landed this evening at about half past six or seven o'clock, at about one mile above Liberty, Illinois, at a wood-yard. While wooding an alarm of fire was given on the lower deck, aft. Immediately on hearing the alarm - I started aft, but, being so much crowded with deck passengers, who were making their way forward with whatever they could take with them, it was some time before I could reach the fire. When I arrived there, to my horror, a blaze was coming through the neck from the hold as high as my head. I called to my men for water; a number of them started immediately aft with buckets, but, the wind being on our stern, it soon became impossible for any one to remain in the smoke. " Some water was cast On the fire, but to no effect. In the space of five or ten minutes at least, the whole boat was one solid blaze of-fire. " Our Voat having been landed at the time, fortunately saved, I believe, every life, but few or none saved any portion of their baggage. ." Men, women, and children running and screaming, such a scene r never before witnessed, and hope never to again. ". She is a total loss, burned to the water's edge, and very little hope of saving any thing. I shall remain with the crew, and make every-effort to save as much as possible." [The Belle was insured for about 11,000 dollars. She had on board It large lot of powder, which exploded shortly after the fire was discovered, making a total wreck. Nothing but the fact that she was .at shore saved the passengers, as the explosion must have killed all. It is said that there were nearly two 'hundred passetigers, chiefly Germans ; some of them, it is expected, lost large amounts. One man had 16,000 in gold and silver, and only saved what in the hurry of the moment he could cram into his pockets. The captain was the last man to leave the boat.] • BOUNDARY • TROUBLES AGAIN. (From the St. Louis Bulletin, of fan. 3. It will be seen bythe proclamation of -Gov. Boggs, which we publish to day, that he dissents from the resolutions passed by the legislature of lowa ' and adopted by the County Court of Clark Co: to suspend all hostilities until the Ist dsv of July next ; be further calls all the officers of the state, civil and military, to exercise their respective duties to their. full extent, in conformity with the laws of this state.

The sales on Thursday last were 3500 bags ; Friday won ; Satur day 3500 ; Monday 3500 ; Tuesday 2000 ; and to-day 4000. The business done since last week has been considerable. The state of trade in Manchester has been very dull, which causes a dulness here. Prices remain withont change, being nearly on a level with those current previous to the late advance. The week's import amounts to 16,821 bags. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEB. •1. . . . Since Tuesday last there has been a moderate arrival of Oats and "Oatmeal from Ireland, and from all other quarters the imports have been very small. The demand has continued very steady for all kinds of Grain, here, and in all our country markets, and in those of Yorkshire, at fully last quotations, and which for some qualities of Foreign Wheat have been a little exceeded. The only alteration in the duties on Grain from Foreign ports since Friday is an increase of is lid per quarter on Oats and Beans. Several thousand barrels of American Flour in bond have changed hands at 29s tid to 30s, and some Western Canal at 30s 6d per barrel. The duty on Wheat will probably be increased Is next Friday. At this day's market, a small advance was demanded on almost every article in the trade, but in very few instances complied with, and we can note only a very moderate extent of business, at about our last quotations.
