VITRIOL TIIROWING.—A Cork paper of Saturday contains an account of twn eases of atrocious and cowardly assaults, by throwing sulphuric acid (oil of vitriol), in the faces of two per suns in the course - of one day. The first was that of Mr. Harty, the proprietor of a bakery, who, when his assailant entered his shop, was writing on a desk inclusea by a wooden railing. These rails fortunately intercepted some of the corrosive fluid, but a sufficient quantity reached his face to occasion him great torture and very serious injury. The second victim was Mr. Herrick,also a baker, who, while standing at his own door, had a quantity of vitriol thrown in his face, by a man who passed. him with etin saucepan in his hand. In . Herrick's case serious apprehensions are entertained that he wilt l ose th e sight of both his eyes. The offenders, in both instanees,,haye escaped from justice. [At the assizes lately held in this place, Ann, Marrow was tried and found guilty of a similar offence; but tliejAulge, Just 03 vndal, reserved-this cane for'the opinion of the judges, as tn - wheiher it is puniihable nudes LOW Ellenhorough's.act.L. If it. be not an offence punishable by that statute, the sooner it is brought within its provisions the better, fur there .is no possibility of guarding against attacks of this nafure.l • ...•, Mee uett or a Sox BY HIS ATIIEIt.-011 Friday morning, Mr. Stanynoneht, the proprietor of a public library and.news paper office, Edgcware-road, London. murdered his eldest sun, a lad about nine years of age, by fracturing his skull with a boot jack. Mr. Stanynotight after the commission of the act, inflicted a frightful wuuud on his own breast with a large clasp knife, which, however, did not destroy him. On the previous evening he took his son, of whom he was very fond, to see an exhibition of the " Parisian . Infernal Machine." This sight, operating upon a mind almost reduced to a state of aberration, appears to have been the immediate cause of this melancholy catastrophe. Lord NVestern, who has been paying his annual 'visit to Bux ton, was lately attacked by so severe a fit of illness, as to render the immediate proisssi(n a t assistance of Sir Charles Scuds inure and Mr. Flint indiseensable. His lordship was fur sotue days consdered in much * danger, but by accounts which reached us yesterday, we are happy to say that he is in a state of con valescence. Ecc La s.—This annual wake, degenerated from a pious motive and a useful custom to a veason of insane revelry, commenced sin Monday. It attracted from this town droves of people, the well dressed, the shabby genteel, the genteel vulgar and the vularly genteel, with a ll t h e tag-rag and bob-tail .of light carts on springs, and heavy carts minus the springs. Eccles is famed far and near for those barbaric abominations called bull baits, of which we can never hope to see an end until their pro moters are made to take the place of the dogs, and the bull owner to endure the torture inflicted on his hapless beast. It is hard to say wherein consists the attraction of an English bull bait. In Spain they manage things indifferently, but here the sole pleasure. consists in seeing a fine animal tethered in a small rink the floor a puddle, dashed with spots of blood and ltant ; a circle of human brutes, grim -visaged, and unpitying, stand cursing and howling around hi m ; two ur three of the same species keeping the ring —one nearly naked, a n d b ot h having most probably rolled in the mud from head to heel-, their hair, (such as they had) skin, and clothes caked with mud, and their eyes peered from mud sockets. Therestands the majestic animal, with a round compact flank, a deep and strung shoulder, and a white dewlap tinged with blood, blood trickling down one cheek from a wound beneath the eve, and his right ear is bleed ing and ragged with the teeth of the dogs, one moment he tosses his head above the crowd and takes a snuffof the cool air, the next his forehead is to the ground, his horns set and his eve upon the dog. It runs at its antagonist, and flying eight yards above his head falls with both its fore legs broken ; another comes and its thigh is smashed; a third takes the ball by the bleeding ear, hut the indignant beast sends it from his teeth an d tramples it und er f oo t. Such are the feats of this game-bull. Would that right had always the power to repel oetrage.— Manchester Chronicle. _ imptriat Vartiamtat. HOUSE OF" LOH DS.--IticnNtsDA v. (Continued ji. 9 vi tile S4cvsdard of Peidaii last.) The registry of voters (Ireland) bill was lost on ia - division on the second reading, 27 voting,for, and 81 against the motion.

The discussions on this bill being brought to a close, Lord Jon'st RUSSELL moved the appointment or 4 committee to draw up the reasons to he stated at the conference with the loi-ds for disagreeing with their lordship? amendments. This motion was speed to, and a committee appointed. SESSION A I. ADDRESSES Mr. S. R ICE moved that the house resolve itself into a coin mittee on the sessional addresses. The house went into committee, Mr. F. Baring in the chair. Mr. S. Ries moved the usual vote of £1,200 to the Chairman of Ways and Means (Ifir. Bernal.) The right hon. gentleman, amidst cheers from both .sides of the house, passed a warns eulogium on the ability an d cour t es y w hi c h t h e h on . mem b er displayed in thelliair of the committees, and observed that, though a man of decided pally principles, his impartiality had secured hiin the appointment even from a tory administration. The vote was agreed to. Mr. S. Rica then moved that £2OO he granted to the chaplain of the house as a remuneration for his services. He observed that it had been customary to address the crown to give their chaplain some church preferment, but the committee on the officers of the house had considered this improper, and, as it was intended to do away with ecclesiastical sinecures, it had been deemed right to adopt the recommendation of the committee. Sir E. KriaTcueuti. made some remarks, which were inau dible. • Mr. RuTtivzN said that £2OO was a petty and paltry sum to give their chaplain. Mt was in his power, he would give £5OO. After a few words front Mr. Wit,xs, the vote was agreed to, and the resolutions were reported to the house. A conversation took place between an hon. rnernbeFtiiid Mr. S. Rice ina low tone of voice, even the subject of which could not be collected. The lectures' publication bill was read a third time and passed. Lord EBRINGTON moved that the lords' amendments in the weights and measures bill be agreed to. -The AT - rouNay-GENEtter. considered that the bill had been Much improved by the lords.—Agreed to. captain.FECHEl.l. moved that the house do agree to the lords' amendmentt on the tithe on turnips bill and the tithes recovery bill. The amendment of their lordships which proteetedquakers from imprisonment for ,tith es was , h e th o n g ht, i great mprove inent. .• : The ArrottriEv-pErisam. bore testimony to the improve ment which the lords had introduced into the bill by this pro tection of quakers. After a few words from fir. RcTiniN itnd Mr. Boarnwicx, the motion was agreed to. Dr. BOWRING, in the, absence of Mr. John Fielden, moved fur returns of the total number of power-looms used in woollen, cotton, linen; and silk factories in each county in the united kingdorii:—Ordered. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at one o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY . The Earl of GLENGALL presented a petition from the pro prietors of Covent-garden Theatre against the music and danc ing bill. Lord littouG RAM said he never would recognize a monopoly unless established by act of parliament. He advocated the bill because he considered there was too little amusement of this kind for the people, and because lie wished to give them ever3i , facility of obtaining rational amusement. Lord LYNDHURST _presented a petition relative to the rrish church bill, from whence did not transpire. The petition, alter an animated.conversation, in which Viscount Melbourne, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Roden, the Earl of Wicklow, Lord Brougham, Lord Farnham, Lord Hatherton, the Earl of Winchilsea, and Lord Plunket took part, was laid upon the table. MUNICIPAL CORPO - RATION3 DILL Lord J. Russell brought up the municipal corporations bill and a message from the commons, requesting a conference with their lordships on the subject of the amendments which they hod made on their lordships' amendments to the bill. Viscount MELBOURNE moved that their lordships should agree to the conference, and appoint the same to be held presently in the Committee-room No. 5. The motion was agreed to, and the commons having again appeared at the bar, Lord DENMAN informed tbem that their lordships bad agreed to the conference. Viscount MELBOURNE then proposed certain peers, whom he named, and amongst.whom were the Duke of Wellington, Lord Lyndhurst, and Lord Brougham. The Duke of WELLINGTON rose, and begged to be excused from serving on the conference. Loid LYNDHURSIC did the same. Lord HOLLAND. said it appeared to him to be a singular dr. camstance that those noble lords who had moved the amend ments to the bill in the committee of that house should decline serving on. the conference. It seemed to be contrary to the usual course of proceeding. Lord BROUGHAM thought. that the noble lords were perfectly at liberty to decline taking anv part in the conference. His noble friend should recollect that the question had not beenput. If the house bad decided that they should act as managers, he thought they could not he excused. The Duke of Wellington and Lord Lyndhurst requested the clerk to erase their natnes from the proposed list. Lord BROUGH A m.—DO the same by me. On the motion of Viseount MELBOURNE, the following peers were appointed the managers of the conference on the part of the lords : —The Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the Duke - of Richmond, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Bishop of Bristol, Lord Auckland, Viscount Melbourne, Lord Hat herton. . . :illftMelegem' proceeded' tb the conference, and en their re turn the Lord-President presented the amendments which the commons had made on their lordships' amendments to the bill, with their reasons for the same, which were ordered to be printed. On the motion of Viscount Illut.uoraNE, the commons' amend meats were ordered to he taken into consideration to-morrow. Loid BROUGHAM laid upon the table a bill for amending the law of marriage and divorce with respect to Scotland;.which he proposed should be. read a first time and printed, in order that . the country might become. acquainted with its provisions by next session, when he would eudeaYour to carry it through parliament. The Earl of ABERDEEN and Lord LyNDHURST severally ex pressed their thanks to the noble and learned lord fOr having directed,his attention to this important subject. The bill was read.a first time and ordered to be printed. IbIpiIISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL. Lord BliouGHAta, ou presenting •a petition in favour of the bill for abolishing imprisonment for debt, took occasion to cor rect an error into which a noble lord had fallen last night. A noble lord (Lord Fitzgerald) had stated that the bill to which the petition, referred was postponed to next session at his insti gation. He did not suggest the postponement of the bill, but when it was suggested %y others he at once acceded to it, be cause it was absurd to think of passing a bill for altering the whole law of debtor and creditor on the 28th of August. It would be better to say that the House of Lords shall not exist at all than to say that they should not have time to consider the bills which were sent up to them. (Hear.) Lord FiTZGERALD admitted that his statement last night was erroneous as respected the noble and learned lord, but the mis take did not invalidate his proposition, which was, that bills of importance had been postponed by noble lords opposite, and that opposition peers were not the only -persons at whose in stance postponements had been made in that house. Lord BROUGHAM observed that the learned gentleman who drew the bill in question admitted it t o b e i mposs ib le to proceed with it this sess ion. Lord LYNDiIuRST said that the learned gentleman could not', be a man of common sense if lie had made use of the language ascribed to him on this subject, and therefore he supposes that there was souse mistake on the part of the reporter. •EDucATION.—IRELAND. The Earl of Ilou4N rose to put a question to the noble mar quis (Lansdowne) on a subject in which he knew the noble lord to take an interest. In March last he called for informa tion with respect' to the working of the new system of education in Ireland, and moved for ten returns with a view to obtain it. The noble marquis appeared to admit the propriety of having all the information that could be procured on the.table, and an order was made for those returns on. the 10th of March. From that day to this only four of the required documents, and those not the most important, had been produced ; it was clear that there was some irregularity or neglect on the pelt of the persons who were bound to make the returns. He now asked the noble marquis whether he could give any reason why those •returns had been so long withheld? The Marquis of LANSDowNE had the satisfaction to state, that having used every exertion for the purpose, he was now enabled to lay on the table all the information required by the noble earl, with.sauly a single exception, as respected one re turn, which .it was not iu the poiv,r of the government to pro /cure. The return in question was a statement of the propor-. don ofprotestant and catholic children who attended the schools placed under the control of the Board of Education. On that subject the commissioners declared it to be wholly out of their power to make an.autlientic return, because, in consequence of the rcnotistrAmTNef prAte.slatit clergymen and other inerahera of the establishment, thq . liadiliscontinuerthe practiCe ordis; - tingtiishing between the protestant an d cat h o li c c hild ren wh o attended their ; schools. , . woaxtiousu PROPERTY BILL. The Marquis of LANSDO%VNE, in moving the second reading of a bill to facilitate the conveyance of workhouses, stated that the object of the measure was to promote the arrangements connected with the establishment of wor kh ouses, which - formed so important,a part of the act passed last year for the amend ment of the poor laws. The bill would facilitate the sale and con veyance of workhouses or buildings intended to be used for that purpose, and would impose the smallest possible expense on the operatiOn. In a great many instances buildings could not be purchased in consequence of the want of a corporate body as a party to the conveyance. This measure provided for that case by incorporating the gnardian s of the poor. Where unions were created, parishes would be enabled to sell their workhouses to defray the expenses of united workhouses. His lordship took that opportunity of entering on some details showing the successful operation of the poor law bill. The bill was read a second time. The charities' commissioners bill passed through committee, and was reported without amendment: to be read a second time on Friday. The bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned at a quarter to nine o'clock. HAWSE OF COMMONS.---THURSDAY. The Speaker` the ch a i r at a quarter to four o'clock. Mr. RORI , I3ON presented a p et iti on from WO merchants, traders, and inhabitants of Mont - real, against any alteration in the timber duties, and a similar petition from a number of mer chants in the city connected with the trade to Canada. The hon. member proceeded to sa y, th at h e hoped the evidence taken before the committee on, the timber trade would be printed, as it then would he seen that the report of that committee was• inconsistent with the evidence th ey h a d h eard. It was sai d , to be sure, by political economists and theorists of that school, that if the timber duties were taken off, our manuf a ctures would be taken in exchange.for their timber by the northern posers of Europe. Ile was ready . to say that he wou ld not o bj ec t t o an alteration of the duties, if foreign powers would enter into re ciprocal engagements to that effect. He was quite ceitain, however, that they would not take a shilli ng ' s wort h o f our manufactures in exchange. The only effect of such a measure would be the destruction of our colonies in America, and the total ruin of our British trade there, while foreigners and foreign' shipowners would alone receive any benefit that might arise from it.' It was well known that select committees of that house were perfect farces. They were arrays app o i n t e d b y t h e go vernment in such a manner as to insure a report from them conformable to the views of tila government on the subject re ferred to them .for consideration. Though in this case the greater portion of the evidence iris against an alt era ti on i n th e duties, the committee reported .11 fatour of such alteration. The petition was laid I.:pon the table. THE LIVERPOO BUSINESS I THE HOP SE OF LORDS, The -ATT 0 ItN Y-GE;lsita t. brought up the report of the select committee appointed try the house to search the journals of the tiouse of Lords relativelo any proceedings which might have token place.there upon the administration of wills bill, sent up from. this house in the Course of the present session. The report stated that these hills had been read -a second time 'by ,their lordships on the .221 of June, and then referre.4l to a select com mittee' since .which time no further, proceedings'appeared ,to have been taken. Dr. LUSHINGrON said he felt bound to make a few remarks on the subject of the present repOrt. The two bills in question were the result of the report of a select committee of the House of Commons, of which the late Lord Chief Justice for Med a part. They had been introduced by the Attorney-General, thoroughly discussed by the house, and then referred to a select committee up stairs; in fact, they received at the hands of that house every consideration which important measures of the kind, tending to remedy some of the greatest grievances which the present state of the law inflicted upon thepuhlic, demanded. These bills, so considered, had been sent up to the House of Lords on the 3d of June last, where, on the 22d of that month, it appeared they were read a second time, and then referred to a select committee. It was now the 3d of September. The journals of the House of Lords had been searched, and no fur ther notice appeared to have been taken by their lurdships of the matter. If proceedings of this kind were, he of frequent occurrence on the part of the upper house he should feel that the House of Commons wouki not be doing their duty if they did not adept every constitutional measure in their power to remedy the evil. If this had been an isolated case he (Dr. Lushington) might have been inclined to let it pass unnoticed, hilt being as it was but one out of the numerous instances in which measures of the greatest public importance were either neglected or rejected by the other house, be felt bound to express his indignation at such a course of proceeding. Sir E. KNATCHBUI.I. admitted that the subject of the bills in question was one of great public importance, but he could not agree with the hon. and learned member in believing that it was with any intention to neglect or reject the measures of this house, on the part of the House of Lords, that further progress had not been made by their lordships in these two bills. He believed, on the con t rary, th a t th e delay had in a great measure, if not entirely, been an unavoidable one, being caused by the absence from town of several learned individuals, whose services would have been of the highest consequence in the inquiries ordered to be made. It appeared that the bills had been refer red to a select committee on the 22d of June, and it was precisely since that period that the noble and learned indi viduals to whom he referred had been absent on circuit. He had no doubt, if these circumstances had not intervened, the bills in questio n w ou ld h av e be e n p r oc ee ded with • and, at least, there was one noble individual in th e ir lordship's!' house who, being supposed to be particularlv friendly , to these measures (we presume the right honourable gentleman alluded to 'Lord Brougham,) would no doubt, if he saw fit opportunity,. have pressed those measures forward, and done his best to prevent any unnecessary delay. In conclusion, he would only observe that he had no doubt that, in the course of the next session, the House of Lords would themselves take up these bille,:and all the, necessary information having been already collected on the subject of them, no delay would occur in rendering them the law of the land. The A rTORNEY-GANERA t. begged to explain that he meant to advance no complaint whatever against the House of Lords on account of their proceedings on these hills. He hoped even that the report of the select committee being once made to their lordships, the bills its question might pass into law before the Close of the present session. The report was then laid on the table. STRICTURES ON THE HOUSE OF. LORDS. On the order of the day for - the third reading of the militia pay bill being moved, Mr: H A Was rose and begged to call the attention of the house to some expressions which had fallen from a noble lord another place respecting the conduct of that house in passing the bill for the abolition of imprisonment fbr debt. The noble loid to whim he referred had stated on the occasion in question that this bill had been smuggled through the House of Com mons. Now, as he (Mr. Hawes) was one +of the members of this house whose names were attached to thci back of that bill he begged to declare— The SPEAKER here interfered, and said that if it was the hon. member's intention, in what he was about to say, to refer to some particular expressions which had fallen from a noble individual in another house, such a proceeding would be one quite irregular in itself, and one quite contrary to the rules of this house, After a short discussion the bill was read a third time and passed. STOPPING THE SUPPLIES-APPROPRIATION ACT. • •The CH ASicI.LOR of the ExcHEQUER moved the order of the day for the third reading of the consolidated fuud (appropria tion) bill. Mr. HUME said he hoped his right hon. friend would not pro ceed,with this bill to-day. The house had had no reason yet to be satisfied with the proceedings of the other house; and he, therefore, hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not de prive the house of the last opportunity it would have this session, of a vote on the subject of supply, to discuss whatever might be come necessary or prudent, in consequence of whatever might be the course adopted by the upper house. on the subject .of the alterations which they had made iu the corporation reform bill. He begged the Chancellor of the Exchequer to defer this order of the day till to-morrow, or rather, as an hon, friend near him said, till Monday, in order to leave the house time . to see what the result' of their lordships' deliberations might be on the sub ject of the altered bill which had been sent up to thein. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he must certainly disagree From 'the proposal made by the hon. member, and would ask the house to read this bill a third time at once. The hon. member said that his only reason for wishing to postpone this proceeding was in order to leave the house an opportunity of discussing the condition in which the bill for the regulation of municipal corporation might be returned to them from the House of Lords. Now, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) .for One, hoped that this bill would .not return to them at all, he earnestly hoped and believed that the bill would not come back to this house at all, but that the II owe of Lords would agree to the bill which had been sent up to them, and concede to the. al terations which this house tad takenlupou it to make in titeir lordships' amendments on this measure. (Fleas.) - Coder . .these circumstances,if any honourable bill- in this house, on the very evening on which this ' bill - was sent up fur their lordships' consideration, were to pass a motion or take part in a proceeding like that recommended by the hon. member for Mid dlesex, would not.such a proceeding imply a fear or feeling. of distrust on the part of this house, as to the shape in which their lordships would return the corporations bill, it they did return it at all? (Hear, hear.) Now, in his opinion, there was uo course which this house could adopt which would be mare cal culated to spread unnecessary alarm in the minds of all those who were friendly to the bill than this proposal of the hon. member for Middlesex. '(Hear.) Let the Egon; : member but console himself with this reflection, and he would see that no 'necessity whatever existed for postponing the order of the day for the third reading of the appropriation .act, even for the pur poses for which he desired to do so. If the corporations bill did return to this house, the house would then have a legitimate and the best possible opportunity of discussing the amendments of the House of Lords pfif the bill passed, and therefore did not return to this house, there would be no such occasion as the hon. member for Middlesex contemplated for any discussion of the kind he wished to raise. Besides this, he would just re- mark that, by acceding to the wishes of the hon. member he should be entailing another week upon the session, as the bill must necessarily go through its regular stages in the other house before it could pass. • Under these circumstances he would en treat his hon. friend to withdraw his motion. Mr. O'CONNELL said he hoped his hon. friend would comply with the request of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. No rea sonable advantage could possibly be gained by postponing this appropriation bill. . As to stopping the supplies, every one knew that was out of the question; the supplies had already been voted seriatim by the house, and the bill before them only reca pitulated those votes in the precise terms in which they had been agreed to. (Hear, hear.) No one could pretend that, in passing these votes, the house intended to reserve to any ultimate right of stopping; them again. )(Hear, hear.) But there were many other reasons why the house should not put eff passing this bill until after the House of Lords had passed the corporations bill. In the first place it mould be proceeding with much better temper—(hear, hear)—and if he was not afraid that his supporting this bill might be used as an argument against it iu anotherplace. (Continued cries of " Hear, hear," and loud laughter, in which the latter part of the hon. and learned member's observations were lost.) The hon. member concluded by observing that they were come to a very important crisis, and it must be decided, not perhaps in this session but in the next, whether any measure of importance which was passed in that house, relating to one part of the kingdom at least, namely, Ireland, was to be checked in the other house, not upon any ground of merit or demerit, but upon grounds too futile to be entitled to notice. Let the House of Commons, therefore, do their duty in the present case, in order that no fault might be laid to their door. He was glad to observe the manly con duct of the government throughout the present session, and he. hoped they would not relax in the good resolution which they bad espoused. cu Lordhip y e a b jci corporations O l ni Ni • n e si bdHcssttee:i L t r ah These oef t i ,r e yd s reasons ue s d me r a ua w nn e r s i int e r e e ed w n c e at oernewdt the pe t g h a r hs e t : e h eu d e dse :L o tl o d a committee was appointed to manage the conference.

MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS' BILL. by the m bi a ll d b e e tak en House Lord of I C E o t, s E o i n n ( t ) h v e e d in t u h n a c t i h p e a l a i !o l er corporation ut is into consideration. He trusted that their lordships would enter upon the discussion with a wish and a determination to meet the spirit of accommodation which had been manifested by the other house ; he trusted their lordships would meet the question without the least degree of prejudive,"and manifest that their Only wish was to carry into effect, what all must feel to be so destrable—namely, to frame a measure relative to municipal corporations, which should be good in itself, and satisfactory and advantageous to the couittrv. The House of Commons had adopted the amendments of the Lords relative to the rights ef freemen with the exception of any discharge or exemption front tolls. This was undoubtedly a right, but one of the must ob jectionable and onerous that existed. Hi s lordship then pro ceeded to notice the other amendments in detail and concluded by saying that he hoped their lordships would consider the Commons' amendments with temper and moderation, and a desire to conciliate and accommodate matters. It was super fluous for him to say he agreed in those amendments, seeing that most of them consisted in -a restoration of clauses to the alteration of which he and his nqble friends had objected when the bill wa4.in committee, or in the adopti on o f pr i nc i ples fur which they had argued. He cordially agreed in the Commons' , amendments, because he thought the bill greatly improved - by them, and, therefore, he strongly recommended theirinsertion, and begged leave to call their lordships' serious and *impartial consideration„to them. (Hear hear.) The first amendment consisted in an omission of certain words in the clause securing the rights of freemen, to which he hoped their l or d s hi p i would: STANDARD. not object; and, in conclusion, lie begged to move the atloptiolli of it. Lard 'L”:DHURST thought it .his duty to deliver his opinion. on the present occasion, although a duty pleasant in some respects st was painful in others. The first question to which the Lords had directed their attention involved most important rights of property of freemen. Those rights had been conceded to a certain eiteut b the Commons, and their lordships were desirous of extending diem and piecing the freemen on the same footing as if this bill had not been introduced. The result was successful; we had established those rights to the fullest extent, 1 and the step had been approved of by the House of Commons, 1 which, in a spirit of conciliation and accommodatiou, hid met ! the Lords on the point, and agreed to their amendment. Even if we had accomplished nothing more, yet in that respect we had gained a great and material point,—(hear, hear)—and he there fore.felt himself justified in congratulating their lordships on the success of their endeavours to preserve the rightsaaf those individuals, and to maintain privileges which could not be torn from the possessors without an act of great injustice. (Hear, hear.) The next point contemplated by their lordships was to secure the existence of those rights which had been established deliberately and after careful discussion during the progress of the reform bill—the right of voting in the election of members of parliament. In the other house of parliament, when this bill was originally introduced, no provision was made by it for the protection of the political rights of freemen. In the committee on the bill every effort was made to preserve those rights, but unstfccessfully ; the bill was recommitted, and a second unsuc cessful attempt was made to the same effect, and it was not till a very advanced state of the measure, he believed on the third reading, that those rights were, to a certain extent, allowed. Wheu. the bill came into this house, we considered that as it was a bill which professed to be for the improvement and regulation of municipal corporations, it would not be right, on a collateral point, to unsettle rights established by the reform bill, which was considered a final measure as regarded the representation of. the country, and accordingly we proposed amendments to secure the continuance of those privilegeS. Here, again, we were thet by much opposition, as in the case of the former pro position;. but of that he did not complain - far from it; he rather rejoiced th a t th e su bj ect was fully and deliberately discussed by their lordships. However, he must say that in discussing the amendments proposed on this subject, both here and in another place, imputations had been thrown upon the conduct of the freeinen which certainly were not justified by anything that had occurred since the passim , ' of the reform bill. Every imputation now adduced wou ld have been equally well-founded at the time of the reform bill, yet noble lords opposite admitted the rights of the :freemen, and the propriety of continuing them by that. measure, and such being the case, it appettred to him inconsist ent in noble lords who then allowed the righte of the freemen, now to rest their opposition to such claims on objections which ' were , eisually valid . at The time of passingsthe radios bal. He, was happy' to say that their exertions with res p ec t t o th e po liti ca l rights of freemen had been crowned with success. (Hear;.hear.) They had sent the bill back to the Commons amended on this • point, and the _House of CoMmons adopted the amendment; and no doubt they adopted it with the view, be hoped, to the jui !.tice of the case, and certaiuly in a spirit of conciliation, and with a desire to effect a final 7 arrangement of the matter with .this house and the country. (Hear, hear.) Those were two points to which, in the first instance, he directed the attention of the house: • The third question of gr e at i m p or t ance a pp eare d to him to be the establishment of a proper qualification. As the constituency was so extensive, lie thought it absolutely necessary to have a qualification. He confessed he was a pea deal surprised when he stated the proposition to find it met with such violent and eager opposition by noble lords opposite. His sole object in introducing a qualification was to secure that the counsels should he chosen out of a (dais of persons who would properly discharge their duty to the boroughs with which they were connected, and to the country at large; and he hastintro dueed a particular form of . qualifieati , because he thought it would prove more fieftible, more c on niently adapted to towns of different population s , and-less ee t ei y evaded than most others that could be selected.. H e. did _soot complain, however, that i this qualification had not been adopted ; on the contrary, he as sented cheerfully and readily to the alteration of the Ciimmons. The next point to which he called the attention of their lord ships was one which he considered of material importance—the licensing of public houses; he considered, and their lordships agreed with him, that to leave this power in the hands of the town-councils, as originally proposed by the bill, would lead to jobs, and he proposed to expunge the clause—a proposition which was opposed on the other side of the house, but net with much warmth. The bill amen d e d i n this important respect— the.clause having been struck out—went down to the commons, and the lords' alteration p asse d w i t h out a s i ng l e o b servat i on or comment. (Hear.) With respect to the . last point, to which he was about to advert while treating the present branch of the subject, he felt it to be at this momenta subject of great delicacy and difficulty—he meant the subject of the disposal of church patronage by dissenters. It had occupied his attention more than many. things during the progress of the bill, and noble lords around him -co-operated with, him cordially on the subject.. After maturely considering the matter, he found at last that he' could refer no better protection in the case than theclause which had excited such warm debates and given rise to such strong feelings on the other side; but he could assure noble lords that he had adopted that clause after the most candid and careful at• tention. Ile well knew that members in the dissenting interest in the house of commons had declared that-they had no wish to have any thing to do with th e di sposal of church patronage; and therefore that such a clause must be in accordance with their feelings. (Hear.) He was aware of the odium to which he ex ..posed himself by the course he had taken—he might be charged with bigotry and prejudice ; still he felt it his duty to persevere. He had no wish to interfere with dissenters—no desire to meddle with their,property er religion, and he wished them not to in terfere in matters that solely concerned the established church. (Hear, hear.) In that spirit he introduced his clause, and when. the question was pat to him by his noble friend opposite (Lord. Holland), how he would define a member of the established 1 chusch or distinguish between dissenters and churchmen, he was fully aware of the difficulty of the case, hut at the same time he knew that what 'he proposed would be cOnsidered by the dissen ters an honourable engagenent, binding upon them, and on that ground he thought it sufficient. The very amendment that had been introduced in the commons in reference to this point he -had ,himself Prepared, but 'he knew the odium to which he should subject himself by ciyoliosiug it; and the attacks which woul4 bo dirented 'against him. He well kneW tharif he proposed to give' the 'nomination to the bishop of the.diocese, in, the case of cor porate church property, he should be charged with a design of plundering the corporationi for the purpose of investing the prelatett of the establishmeht with their spells. He knew that he should be thus charged without, if not within those walls."Ele knew he should be told that dissenters might now by the law of 'the laud bold advowsons, that corporations composed of dis senters might since the repeal of the test and corporation acts hold advowsons, and that he should be asked, " what right have you, under suc h circumstances, to interfere with the rights of property, or render it compulsory on parties to dispose of their possessions ?" (Hear.) He knew he should be thus assailed if he attempted to bring forward such a clause, and .he thought it better, in order to guard against the possibility of .unjust im putations, to put into the bill a mere vague clause like that be had Proposed, .trusting for security to the honour of the dis ge"tem (Hear.) He now came to the alteration made by the commons on the amendment introduced into' this bill by, their :lordships —b e meant that amendment which created aldermen for life, and continued in their offices those authorities who, un der the existing law, were appointed for life. He considered— and there were many of their lordships who, lie knew, considers ed—that this was the most important amendment introduced by their lordships into the bill. In proposing that amendment, he considered that the composition of a council, filled up as these new councils cri were transaction would other qualification save the very wide one of being rate-payers turbulent desp to be filled up, by a constituency with n o for tene ments of t h e l owest d escr i p ti on , wou ld i n a ll pro b a b il i ty be actin g un d er t h e i n fl uence o f- ag it a t ors , or o f persons o f t h at thought tghraetatsuncnhceartcaoinntsvtitiun theency there fore pr opose d this amen d men t as a necessary counter b a l ance to business gtiroenai ba He i the tea l t n town-council, , and he had n-council the evils which he apprehended from the new system. ln order to have a certain portion of the town-council independent of the public voice, but not independent of public controul, he had pro sposed th a t a fourth part of the council should hold their office for life. In making that p . roposition - he thought that he had acted wisely. He was not inclined to make any alteration in it at present (hear, hear), especially as he saw that his proposition was supported by the precedent established in that bill, intro duced by his noble and learned friend, to which he had already referred. (Hear, hear.) He was gratified to find that the House of Commons had in principle adopted the opinion which be had formed, by agreeing to have among the c o un se ll ors a distinct class, holding their offices, not indeed for life, but for such a period as was deemed sufficient to insure their indepen -silence frm the public feeling of the Moent: (Hear, The House ot Commons had adopted m the principle of a his proposition, but, as it appeared to him, the Machinery by which they intended to carry that principle into practice did not go far enough. There was another part of this amend ment on which he felt strongly, and he most also add deeply, and that was the continuance of the present aldermen, or the present holders of municipal authority, for life. He regretted to find that the House of Commons had objected to that part of their amendment. lie looked at this bill, and he then asked himself what was the professed object of those who had brought it in? It was not to annul corporations—it was note to rescind the charters of corporations, but it was, as' he understood it, to. amend the existing state of corporations. They, the House of Lords, had adopted the clause in the bill as brought from the House of Commons, providing against future mal-appropriation of corporate funds, and far extending the powers of corporations for local purposes. They had adopted all the provisions in the bill • as brought from the commons for the-better administ ra ti on ' o f j ost i Ce; A and they afforded. an -atie .<, quate remedy to 'the only source of complaint still left unre dressed, by creating the large constituency for the election of the town-council contained in this bill. (Hear.) Why, then, remove from office individuals who held their authority , under charter from the crown, against whom no well-fouhded 'Com , plaint had hitherto been made, and who had hitherto performed their duty respectably, 'ably, impartially, and to the satisfaction of those persons among whom they lived, and with whom they were connected? (Great cheering.) He thought that their lordships had acted wisely in determining to continue to them the authority with which they were at present invested. That was the opinion which he had endeavoured with all his humble abilities to enforce upon the uousideration of their lordships during the discussions which they had had upon the bill. That was the opinion which he houestly and sincerely entertained now, and if circumstances should arise whi c h s hould compel 'him—feeling strongly upon this subj ec t , an d b e i ng conv i nce d that justice required that this amendment slionld•be adhered to —to differ from several of his noble friends fOr whorta he felt the deepest respect; lie must, Whatever might be the result of the difference, act in conformity with his oan opinion, and his own niatured and deliberate judgment. (Cheers.) HO had no doubt that they would act conscientiously, calm) and and pru dently. He was 'called upon to a c t for himself, and he should act upon his o.vii judgment, and upon the opinions which he had honestly and sincerely advocated, for he felt that justice re quired that he should defend the amendment which the com mons had rejected. (Heart) He considered that that amend ment involved ley far the most important question that had been agitated during these discussions. He considered that if this amendment hall been carried, no danger could have accrued from the other enactments of the bill. At present he could not conceal from their lordships the apprehensions which he enter tained of danger from carrying it into effect. The noble lord, after some observations delivered in too low a torte to be heard in the gallerv, proceeded to observe that there were some other points contained in the amendment now brought from the com mons which he considered most material and important. He• for one must say that he could not agree to fetter the prerogative! of his sovereign in the choice of magistrates. (Great cheering from the opposition benches.) He had heard no argument in the house, he had read no reason i ng in the speeches made in the other house; Calculated to conviac e him of the necessity of this amendeut. (Hear.) He admitted that it was necessary for the, crown io take the advice of its responsible solvents respecting the choice of magistrates. For instance, in appointing the ma gistrates for counties, the crown consulted the lord-lieutenants of those counties. In appointing the magistrates for boroughs, .it consulted the mayor or other local authorities of the borough, but he could not (111 that account agree to fetter by law the ap pointment of the crown, so as to deprive it of the power or ap poniting any magistrates save those selected by the council. That was a point which he considered it absolutely imnossible for their lordships to accedato. It %rasa point t o w hi c h; speak ing for himSellindiViduallY, nothing on earth should induce 'him consent. (Loud cheers.) He felt that he owed it'as a mat r of personal duty to the sovereign, who had conferred so many yours, upon him, who had loaded him, he might say, with obli .ations,'to defend his prerogative against all assailants. (Hear.) t was material to do.so at all times, and at this time, in his °pi lion, more so than any other. (Great cheering.) There was ilso a question respecting the division of the towns into wards, Int he would not enter into it at present, as it must be matter of :arther consideration when the details of those amendments came ander the notice of their lordships. •He thought that the ar rangement which their lordships had made was a much better arrangemeut than that which had been proposed on the other side. Them was a ,third, and only a third, point to which he wished to call the attention of'the house. [Here the noble lord made( a pause, and said to one of his noble friends near him— " I've forgot what it is. What is it ?" Ills noble friend said, "The town-clerks." This occasioned a titter on the ministerial benches. 1 Oh ! ay, the town-clerks. He did not kn o w what had provoked the laughter on the opposite benches, but if it was at his expense, the noble lords were at full ]:betty to laugh on. We mean So modify our proposition on this point. Some of the town-clerks hold their offices during pleasure, and others hold them during life. These last had a freehold in their offices. They bad shown themselves able and competent to the dis charge of their respective duties. Why, then, should they be divested of their situations? Why should they be turned out of their different offices? Why should their lordships assume that they would not discharge their duties to the new corporations as faithfully as they had discharged them to the old? He was sure that their lordships would not sanction such injustice.' He hoped that, upon this point , at least, the commons would meet them in the spirit of conciliation. Their lordships Were teady,to give up to the commons those town-clerks who held their places during pleasure, and iu return they felt that they had a right ,to demand of the commons that they would not violate the rights of pro perty, that they would not infringe upon the freeholds of indi viduals., (Cheers from the oppositiou.) He did hope that, acting in the spirit of:conciliation, the commons would concede on this point to their lordships. The noble lord, after some fur ther observations, not distinctly heard in the gallery, proceeded as follows:—" Allow rue now, my lords, to say a word as to my self. Your lordships must be aware how much t have been assailed during these discussions both in and out of parliament, and how matey attacks have been made upon me personally, on account of the course which I have felt it to be my duty to pur sue with regard to this bill. (Hear, hear ) Allow me also to say, that I should not be : as h ame d t o h ave b een a vo l unteer i n my attacks upon this bill; but the fact is, that I have been no volunteer. (" Hear," from the ministerial benches.) Many noble lords with whom I have been in .the, habit of acting fur bears, and who thought that from my professional habits I was calculated to lead-their effortsfao a successful resiistaticeattgainet the objectionable clauses in this bill, requested ma to updertake the management of their opposition against it; Lyielded - to their solicitations, and having done so, 'I have endeavoured to dis charge my duty to them and to my country firmly, strenuously, and to the best of my ability. (Great cheering from•the oppo sition benches ), . I have been charged with having Some party. views to accomplish, some indirect ambition to gratify by this opposition. (Hear. hear.) I deny it once and forever; all my ambition has long since been satisfied. (Cheers.) I have twice, to borrow a phrase from these municipal corporations, passed chat chair (pointing to the woolsaek)—l have twice, to borrow a phrase from a successful revolutionary usurper, had that splen did bauble (pointing to the mace behind the speaker) before me. Whatever ambitious views I may have had in early life have all been fulfilled. My ambition has been gratified. "have no fur ther wishes to gratify," (Great Cheering.) . Lord Beouusiam replied to the observations of Lord Lynd hurst at great length. In alluding to the concluding p assages in Lord Lyndhurst's speech, he said that although he differed with his noble friend upon this and other matters which dis tracted public attention, no difference of opinion, no oppositi on of principle,- would ever make him conceal, suppress, or in any degree, to pleaie any party or quarter whatsoever, mitigate the expression of the feeling which he had of the admiration of ta lents, when he saw them exerted according to the principles of him who was endowed with them (great cheering). There was one thing made matter of accusation against .his noble and learned friend, which, least of ell, would have induced him (Lord Brougham) to suppress the expression of his highest ad miration of the ability which his noble and learned friend had displayed throughout these important proceedings —he meant the attack which had been unjustly made against him, as if he entertained certain ambitious views—views which did not in spire, and which, God knew, need little to inspire a man who had, by merit, and by merit alone, risen to the height his noble and learned friend now enjoyed (great cheering). This attack so far from sealing his (Lord Brougham's) lips upon an occa sion like the present, would have been the greatest stimul an t h e could have felt to declare his opinion of the great talent and ability of his noble and learned friend. He, too,• had been at tacked; but to him to be attacked when discharging his duty, and to be attacked oftentimes by those whom he was helping by so discharging his duty, was so natural and so familiar, that ft was like the air he breathed—sometimes inure wholes° me than at others, soinetimes•naore 'oppressive, oftentimes tainted with miasma, oftentimes bearints with irinfectiou, And the many other ills to which the constitution of the atmosphere is subject, and which he who would breath that atmosphere must lay his account occasionally to inhale (cheers.) His noble and learn ed friend had said that he had reached the pinnacle of his pro fessional ambition, and what had he more to desire? He (Lord Brougham) said the same in answer to a similar attack made against him (loud cheers). He did not mean the ridiculous and farcical explanation which had been attempted to be given to his'motives for so strenuously supporting his majesty's go verninent—a thing so unintelligible in other respects—namely that it was an arrangement which had been made between his noble friend (Lord Melbourne) and himself, that' he should support the government, and that a noble -kinsman of 'his should be governor of Bengal (cheers and laughter). His noble friend (Lord Melbourne) had been more astonished at this ex planation than any other person, except his noble kinsman, who knew well that he (Lord Brougham) was very anxious that he 'should not go to India, and was exceedingly anxious that another person should. So much for that. But the charge which had been made against him was, that he was tired of the great seal, and Was anxious to become prime minister, that be ing considered by him the only thing worth fighting for. - To which he would make answer—if it be the only thing worth notio g for in politiCl, than Alt battles•were over, hia fight was 'fought, and he now turned his politi ca l swor d an d spear into the. plough and the proofing hook. He had no mind to fight in any way, either in or out of parliament, for that office—that unenviable office which was so ably, and so adiuirably, but he believed not'so very 'cheerfully, filled by his noble friend (Lord Melbourne). • Both .he and his noble friend hadinted to know that in the olitical car eer w hi c h now was , as we ll as i n t h e ca lves which both of there had passed through. they:bad endured' pain and suffering of every kiud, and every kind ofanuoyauce; that they were annoyed with pain and suffering which no more ceased when they quitted the restless waves of public station, and retired into private life, than the motion of (he vessel ceased to harass the brain after you had quittedit. and landed on the 'shore ; that these annoyances sprung up daily and hourly about the path not only of him who trod the slippery eminence of public station, but of him who quitted o ffi ce an d re ti re d i n t o private life. But the man who had holden office learned one thing, for he then discovered what before he never knew. that there were natures who would forgive an injury,far mere easil y and far' more amply, than other natures would f org ii e a ness conferred. rum both the one and the other of those na tures he was now happily in his own mind free. He bad dis charged his duty to his country, he had discharged his duty to , his own conscience, and he claimed with confidenee the proba tion of others (cheers). But whether o r not h e gh ou ld h ave that which men prized above all other possession (except what he was going to mention) he knew not, and was comparatively careless; but that which he did know was, that he had the ap probation of his own heart. [The noble and learned lord sat down amidst loud cheering from both sides of the housel. The Duke of WELLINGTON, after some general observations on the principles of the bill, concluded by saying he could not help taking up the time of their lordships for a moment longer, in order to take notice of the attacks made upon his noble and learned friend for the course be had pursued. Ile would not weaken what had been said by the noble and learned lord (Brougham) upon the conduct of- his noble and learned friend by any panegyric on his talents, his abilities, and his firmness, in carrying on the business of these amendments. (Cheers.) • But that which be would say was this, that be .(the Duke of Wellington) was the person who solicited his noble and learned friend to undertake the management of the amendments that were proposed to be made to the bill. He made that request of his noble and learned friend from knowing his talents, his ca pacity for business, his great legal acquirements, his eloquence, and the influence which he possessed in their lordships' house. But if there was anything erroneous in those atnendments, ho was responsible for them in character equally with his noble and learned friend, for he would repeat that he was. the person who solicited his noble and learned friend to come-forward on this occasion (cheers). The amendmeuts made in the several clauses by the Commons, from clause 1 to the 39, were agreed to. The consideration of the Commons' amendments to clause 40 was postponed at the instance of Lord Esseneoeovun, who thought that some difficulty would arise in the 'division of bo roughs into wards, unless some alterationi were made in the clause as it now stood.' The amenttnents made in the succeeding clauses down to the' 58th were agreed to. On. the-question, that the areendments on the ,59th . clansc, re lating to town-clerks, be agreed to, • • • The Earl of DEVON said - that these town clerks who held their office for life should be • contimied ; but h 'Might be perfectly right that those who held office only during 'pleasure Should be It was true that a compensation clause was con tained in the bill; but in order to effect the -object lie had in view, he should move as an amendakerA Oat the .election of town-clerks should not take place on the 9th - of November, adding a proviso to the succeeding clause, preierving the rights of those who held office for life.- • .• • • After a conversation, in which several noble lords took part, strangers were ordered to withdraw for a division ; hut' although the house remained closed for some time natlivision took place, the clause (we understand) having been poslponed for further considerat inn. Clause 66 was postponed. Clauses 93 and 96 were agreed to. On clause 99, which gives the crown the pOwer of nominating justices out of those individuals recommended by the town council, Lord AnrNGEss objected particularly to 'this clause. They had no right to limit th e choice of the King—to oblige the King to adopt one of those indivicludis recommended by the town conned. He for one never would consent to such a limitation of the power of the crown. The noble and learned lord, as we understOod, pointedout the distinesion between the nomination proposed by the town-councils and that of lord , lieutenants. The members of the first were appointed by the crown. At the close of a short discussion on this chiuse the house di vided— it Contents . , 141 Non -contents 82 Majority against the amendment of --- the Commons 62 Several other amended clauses were then agreed to. On the question in schedule A respecting wards, Lord Er,LEssnotntouci is us iced that two wards should be re instated in the town of Barnstaple, as already decided by their lordships. The object of his motion was that every town in cluded in th e bill Conta i n i ng 6,COU inhabitants should be divided into wards. . , Viscount MELBOURNE opposed the motion on the ground that it was extremely objectiouable in itself, but still snore so as the House of Commons had so strenuously opposed the principle of it. , .

This motion, and another.by the Earl of Pevon—th a t Y eov il be struck o u t o f th e sc h e d u l e, was agreed to. The Earl of DEVON moved that the houS'e disagree with that portion of the amendments of the House of Commons which di rected that all the present town-clerki . shontir vacate their situ ations in the month of November. Lord 111xLsounsE observed that he had already stated what he believed Would be the consequence Of adopting the amend ment of the ,noble earl. He. had exerted ' , : himself as much as 'was in his power to promote in amicable ,arrangement in the various. po►nts of diCeretice lit this meatitri; but he feared tha SEPTEMBER 8, 1833. it might be fatal to the bill if this amendment was carried. It should also be recollected, if the town-clerks were removed id any case they would receive full c om p ensa ti on . The M arquess of SALISBUitY doubted whether by the clause, as it stood in the bill, compensation would be afforded to the town-clerks who were deprived of their offices. The noble viscount was of opinion that this was sufficiently secured, but other noble lords, fully as competent to form a correct opinion as the noble viscount, entertained a different feeling on the sub ject. The noble viscount ought to agree to the proposition, so that the town-clerks might be continued; and, if it were deem ed expedient to get rid of them, it would be easy to bring in a bill to remove them, and at the same time secure them compen sation. . This motion was eventually lost without a division. The several bills on the table were then forwarded each a stage, and the 'house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. Mr. MAULE moved for a new writ for the borough of Dungar von in the room of Mr. Sergeant O'Loghlin. Soxne petitions having been presented, Mr. SenitNG Ric& moved the third reading of the tithes instalment (lreritud) bill, and the bill was accordingly read a third time and passed. Some bills having been forwarded a stage, Mr. Hums moved twelve - resolutions condemnatory of the . terms on which the loan for twenty millions had been contrict ed for. Mr. SPRING RICE replied at length. The resolutions were negatived without a division. CAW REVORM. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL obtained leave to bring in three bills connected with this subject, which were ordered to be printed, The other business was then- disposed of, and the house ad journed at ten o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.—SATURDAY. Their lordships met at half-past four o'clock, and proceeded to forward some bills before the house a stage. THE COITPOkATIONS BILL. The Mike of WELLINGTON brought up the report of the committee appointed to draw up reasons to show the grounds on which their lordships differed from the commons' amend ments of the amendments of the lords, and to arrange fur a conference. Lord ELLENBOROUGH read the report of the committee, and the reasons which they assigned for their lordships not agreeing to the amendments made by the commons in the lords' amend ments with respect to the right of the crown to appoint the justices without the intervention of • the town council, and the division of the boroughs into wards. The report concluded by stating, " that the lords have, in a spirit similar to that which had actuated the commons, and in compliance with their wishes, abstained from insisting upon many amendments which they thought salutary to the working of the ineasure ender consi deration; and the lords entertain an earnest hope that the bill . may produce contentment, and the establishment on the firmest basis of good and quiet government in the towns." The noble lord concluded by moving that the report and the reasons be' printed. Viscount MilLnovaNE then rose and said—My lords, having disagreed with the amendments made by your lordships in this bill as it was originally sent up to your lordships' house, I feel it my duty to state to your lordships, not only that I disagree in the amendments which you have made in the commons' amend ments, but that I cannot concur in the reasons by which the committee propose to support those amendments. I can only repeat to your lordships that I still clearly entertain the opinion that I held in Opposition to those amendments, and that I can not help repeating that, if your lordships persist in this conduct, it may be attended with consequences which you may all deeply deplore. • The motion for printing the report and reasons was then agreed to, and the conference was appointed to take place at a quarter to four on Monday. The hills on the table having. been forwarded a stage, tbe house adjourned . at half-past five o'clock. • THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL Air R.

They are filled, with. events of fearful im portance, inasmuch as the alternative offered by the Ca rolinas is an arbitrary andiniquitous protection of their property in their slaves, or an immediate dissolution of the federal union. , At a meeting of the proprietors and planters, held at Charleston on the 11 th of August, the following, among other resolutions, were voted and carried by acclamation : Resolved,—That we hold it to he an unquestionable truth that the subject of slavery, as it now exists in the slave-holding states of this union, is, in all its bearings, a nomuszic cluEsTiots, belonging exclusively to the citizens of these states; that the peciple of 110 other state hate any right to interfere therewith in any manner whatsoever, and that such interference is utterly in consistent with the federal compact, and cannot be submitted to. Resolved,—That we regard with the utmost indignation and abhorrence the proceedings of those INCEND IA it /ES 111 some of our sister states who, under the name of anti-slavery societies" and other specious appellations, are undermining our insti tutions, regardless of the fatal consequences which must inevi tably result from the prosecution of their nefarious schemes, which, if successful, could not fail to involve the southern states in ruin, and produce the utter destruction of that class of per sons for whose welfare they pretend to be so solicitous. The statements recently but forth of the existence at this time of 250 dumb societies in 13 states, and the weekly issue from a single press in the city of New York, of from 2at0 . 50,000 copies of these incendiary pamphlets and papers with which our public mail has been lately burdened, and which are now spreading their deleterious influence throughout the southern states, admonish us of the absolute necessity of taking prompt and decisive measures to avert the dire calamities which such proceedings are so well calculated to.produ ce . Resolve4,—That these proceedings have brought about a cats's, which makes an earnest, anewe trust that it may prove an irresistible, appeal to all such of our fellow-citizens in the non-slave holdiug states as may disapprove of these societies and their measures, calling upon them by every consideration of duty and of PATRIOTISM, to manifest that disapprobation not rueleiy by the expression of their. opinions, but by the most active, zealous, and persevering efforts to put down these asso ciations, and to suppress that fanatical spirit which, in pursuing an imaginary good, is regardless of the teal consequeuces which are inseparable even from its continued prosecution, among which, not the leastAo he4amentert, would be'l'll E CERTAIN' DESTRUCTION OF ;CUE . . - - Resolved,—That under our political system, where a number of sovereign states are united together, liy a wiitten compact, in a federal union, for special purposes only—each member of such an union has an unquestionable right to expect and require (what is indeed the very basis of such a connexion,) that no in terference whatever shall take place with her nosiEwric PoLicv Or PECULIAR INSTITUTIONS, either by the constituted authori ties of the federal or other state governments, or by the peitiple of other states, and it is the imperative duty of each state to prevent, by suitable penalties and provisions, their own citizens from being guilty of any such 'interference with the domestic policy of any other slate.. Resolved,—Thal the postoflice establishment cannot, consis tently with the coustitutiouof the United States, and the object.; of such an institution, be converted into an instru men t f or the dissemination of iuceudiary publications, and that it is the duty of the federal government to provide that it shall not be so pros tituted, which can easily be effected by merely making it un lawful to transport by the public•mail, through the limits of any state, any seditious papers, forbidden by the laws of such state, to be introduced and distributed therein, and by adopting the necessary regulations to effect the object. Resolved,—That for the purpose of making such an earnest ap peal to the people of the non-slave holding states, as mkt- convince them of the true state of the public feeling among us, it would in the opinion of this meeting be desirable to bring about a cordial co operation among all the states having a common interest with us, either through a CONVICTION, or i n any othe' way best calcu lated to embody public sentiment, so that the truth may be made known, that however we may differ among ourselves ou other points, we are on this subject united us oNE man in the fired and UNALTERABLE determination to maintain our rights and defend our property against ALL ATTACKS—be the consequences WHAT THEY may. Resolved,—That the City Council be aiso requested to take the • proper measures to secure the strict performance of the duty unposed by the laW upon the Harbour Muster, of keeping , a cor rect list of all persons arriving at, and departing from this port; and that they also request the President and Directors of the Rail-road Company, to have correct lists of all persons arriving auddeparting by that conveyance, %; hether white, free-coloured, or slaves. and that measures be taken to have these lists regu larly examined to the extent, that incendiaries, and other evil disposed persons ; corning among us, or attempting to pail through this state, may be detected and exposed. What the effect of these resolutions will be it is im possible to say; but if we may judge from the crimes which haveactually been committed, there is every reason to fear that it will only tend to excite greater apprehen- Sion, and lead to st ill more inhuman outrages.
