finptrial paritanunt. HOUSE OF LORDSMoxDAy, The Marquis of Normanby moved 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 PRINCE ALBERT ' S NATURALIZATION BILL Lord MELBOURNE, in moving that Prince Albeit'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 BROUGHAM remarked that he trusted the matter would be decided by Parliament, and not by prerogative, as the former course would reduce thelaw on the subject (which was now uncertain) to a certainty. The Marquis of LOLDONDEHRY said that he had origin ally directed attention to this part of the bill because he thought that when it was stated that the proposition had been acquiesced in by the royal family, that acquiescence ought to have been recorded in the journals of that house. The precedence clause having been struck out, the bill went through committee, was reported, read a third time, and passed, and then carried to the Commons—the standing or ders of the house having been suspended to allow the bill thus speedily to go through its remaining stages. THE CONDEMNED CHARTISTS. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition front 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 rec?nt decision of the 15 judges in re ference to the reserved point of law. In the course of those observations he skid that a stronger case—infinitely strength ened by the a rrangement 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 he carried into ex ecution, but that the sentence would be commuted to trans portation for life. SOCIALISM. The Bishop of EXETER deferred till Tuesday his motion o n the subject of " socialism." The right rev. prelate did so, in compliance with the request 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 COMMONS.—MONDAY. Several petitions were presented, and among others one by Sir E. SUGDEN, 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 be 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',, 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 PE EL 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 distrust. BILL. Lord MORPETII IRISH brought in MUNICIPAL the municipal corporations (Ireland) hill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Friday se'nnight. PRIVILEGE. Mr. DARBY then moved that Wm. Evans, Esq., and John Wheelton, 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, heat. ) The honourable member had not advanced a single reas.on to show v..iiv the sheriff should be. liberated. A large wajcrity 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 land. The hon. mem ber seemed to think that the opinion of an inferior court—a court of law—ought to overrule the decision of the High Court of Parliament. Sir R. INctis thought that as the hon. memberfor East S ussex (Mr. Darby) had abstained from entering into the question of privilege, the Ationiey-General had unnecessarily travelled into that part of the subject. Hi(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); an d 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 house to the terms of the oath which a party serving the office of sheriff had to take. He swears that he will truly return and truly serve all the 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 WILLIAM 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, be 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, be should certainly vote with his hon. friend the member for Sussex. (Loud cheering from the opposition side of the house.) The SO LIC ITOR -GENERAL opposed the motion in a speech of consder a bl e l ength. Sir E. SUGDEN rose, and there being some indisposition to proceed with the d e b a t e , M r. P ryme move d t h e a dj ournment, which was agreed to. The house then adjourned. Some .I-lOUSE OF LORDS—TUESDAY. e petitiona were presented on various subjects. RC OF SCOTLAND. The Ea r l of ABERDEE N gave notice, that on Thursday next, in presenting pe tit ions to the house, he would put a question to the noble errquie j opposite, respecting the inten tentions of her maestysgovernment, with reference t o th e Present state of the church of Scotland. Vi se ~ TRANCFORD INLAND WAREHOUSES. Viscount o said that in coneequence of commu nications he had received from various commercial bodies and also in consequence of a bill b e i ng i ntro d uced into the other houraieofiparliament on the subj ect o f i n l an d warehouses precisel) similar eirovision s t o th e bill of last year—he was anxious to know, whether the noble viscount opposite would have any otj y ee a to n to produce any opinions mightthat have been given of the fiscal boards in the coun try as to the probable operation ration of that bill on the revenue. Viscount NlELBonaxte - would in whether there were any_ such documents. Viscount STRANGFORD thought it was i m p oss ibl e to leis before late sat the house.isfactori on the subject without having those papers ly SOCIALISM. The Bishop of EXETER presented a v, titin n f contributed to B ro o i c n ie t t h y e , British and Foreign Seamen and Soldier'eepi''' stating that one of the causes which immorality among soldiers and sailors, was the spr ea d so cialism, and praying the house to adopt such measures its judgment might deem meet, to prevent the extensien!iiCi those pernicious doctrines. Also a similar petition from th e inhabitants and householders of Cheltenham in the county o f Gloucester, and from the householders and inhabitants of Winterslow in the county of Wilts, deploring that the ?mei . 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 propagated, praying the house to take im mediate steps to stop the progress of socialism, and to secure to the people of this country the religion, peace, and content ment which, as a nation and as individuals they have hitherto enjoyed. . ... . Lord TZVXMAU presented a petition from . a lady, com me thafthe system of socialism had been m isre p resented, and Praying the house to make inquiries respecting it. Lord PRIVILEGES OF PARLIAMENT. from two BROUGHAMindividuals said he had now to present a petitiOn and aildaruals placed in a situation strange, unprece dented,Zal; he presented to petition from NV their lordships a sheriffs of London and ~ , , i v i a ns, and John Wheelton, Esqrs., to be presented to the ddlesex, and the petition appeared capacity, but as the house,(highest court not merely in its legislative front officers of judicature known to the laws of these realms, and fro ° judicial decision their lordshipsOffi might e" of a court on whose have to sit in judg ment; as also upon the conduct of tleesheriff s as of fi cers o f that court over which their lordships' house jurisdiction. In regard to the hardship o had u nquest i one d the high respectful, and paramount importance of the subject, and the case, statements of touching, and submissive nature of the appeal t i h s n t e ad e to their lordships, he would venture to engage for the the petition that attention whieh ttieirlordship s to the petitions of every class of their fellow-subjewetays gave by the noble and learned lord proceeded to read the petition,. whichile recapitulated the leading points of the whole affair, inter spersing remarks on the inconsistency displayed attorney-general and the House of Commons in the proceed ing, and offering other comments, but rather avoiding t o give any decided opinion on the subject. He concluded, however, by saying that neither house of parliament would, unless they were clearly in the right, and the judges clearly .n the wrong, long stand a conflict with the courts of law, or conveniently do so with ti e country, and the suitors of a Province containing two millions of inhabitants, while the administration of justice was choked up by the imprison ment of those civil officers through whom it was to be ad ministered. LordNIELBOU RNE t h oug h t hi s no bl e an d learned friend could h ave acted much more prudently, much more justly, and touch more properly, especially after admitting, as he had done, th a t th e i r lordship's' house had not the power to interfere, had he. abstained trom making these observations. 1111. ~, RMY IN INDIA On the motion of Lord MELBO URNE, and after some remarks from the Duke of Wellington, the thanks of their lordships veers voted to the Gov to maiol error-General of India, Lord A uc kland, to Lord Keane, eneral Sir Willoughby Cotton, and the other officers and 11 - n e engaged in the mili tary operations to the westward of the us, and that the Governor-General he requested to co mmunicate the sa me . sociAtism. After a question from Lord BROUGHAM as to a possible con tingency requiring a regency, giv en, to which no a nswer was The Bishop of E XET.E a addressed the house at great length, and with much energy o f ar g ument and language., on th subject of socialism, and concluded by moving tiiAt - .. - an hatable address be presented to her Majesty, praying th a t Aek test win,l, dbe pleased to command that in t/1 6 1 .k, li--- •PA , r ,.- . ; •,...,:--:-,,, : 4 . -- • .•----' .< . - / ..- • .., f ...-,...54 ~ .... _ ~,, , v•c: - ; _, : -- -•ji.' i t-.`\., ''''.,'• '''' - ' 1 '' • ^ 47: 7 1--VI: .. 5 ) 7 I .. . • •-",.---:.:-- .', ...t.,„: ; -• 00 ( 1 4 1 ;VV:1 8 ,- - ,z, 4 , 4 Vy~ } should be made into the diffusion of blasphemous and im. 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 be a so ciety, the object of which was, by the diffusion of its doctrines, to destroy the existing laws and institutipns of this cou y. ntr Lord NORMANDY', 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. HOUSE OF COMMONS-TUESDAY. 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 in their neighbourhood, at which the most mis chievous and blasphemous doctrines were propounded. EDUCATION. Sir R. INGLIS gave notice that on Tuesday, the 18th, he would move that it is the duty of 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, hear," from the ministerial benches.) DIVORCE BILLS. Mr. LABOUCHERE gave notice that on Tuesday, the 11th, he would move that in future all divorce bills should be re ferred to a committee of seven. Mr. HUME 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 RusstLL 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 MAULa said it was quite correct that Frost, Jones, and Williams had been removed from Monmouth 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 regulations were 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 CHANOELLOR of the 'EXCHEQUER said, that if the hon. 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 OF YORK'S DEBTS. Mr. LEADER 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 be, 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 be would make inquiry, and give an answer as early as he could. IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN COFFEE An hon. MEMBER begged .leave to ask the right hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it was content - - 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 he 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. Rocnß 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 bin, 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 thought would he 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 IrloLts,Mr, GouLsuitN, and Mr. SHAW, the motion was carried. DISCONTENT OF THE WORKING CLASSES Mr. St.ANEY moved for a select committee to inquire into the causes of the discontents and difficulties of the labouring classes, &c. Mr. SMITH O'BuiEN 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 be confined to a few objects, and those of practical utility. Mr. BooTHEwroN 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 Jonre RUSSELL said, that as a minister of 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 plead guilty to having held out false hopes of constitutional change, but the house would itself be guilty of this should it appoint a select com mittee to report upon such such subjects as ballot, annual parliaments; and universal suffrage. The large towns were probably better ordered in their internal arrangements than the new manufacturing villages, where great populations had suddenly grown up, and this last class of districts.might be usefully brought under inquiry. If, therefore, the motion could be limited so as to exclude the political, and confine it self to the local, class of topics, he should be inclined to ac cede to it. Mr. BRISCOE thought 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 condition of the working classes in the manufacturing and mining districts. Mr. BAINES 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 forward 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. Wamor obtained leave to bring in bills to autho rise the summary conviction of juvenile offenders in certain cases of larceny, and to, authorise , trustees of free grammar schools to enl4rge the system of education therein pursued, under certain restrictions. INTERCOURSE BETWEEN THE COLONIES. Mr. V. SMITH rose for leave to bring in a bill to extend to the British colonies in the West Indies the act of the..sth and 6th 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 them for discussion. Lord J. RUSSELL said there was a subject somewhat con- nected with this matter, on which, as it Was of very great im. penance, he wished to state to the house his opinions, as it might be neces sar y to tike into consideration the question of the hill coo li es. H e di d not mean then to give any notice of e motio n on thi s su bj ec t, b ut mere l y to state what he con sidered Withlfromtheknowledge he h a d acqu i re d re l at i ve t o th e i r conditi on . respect to those who had b ee n t rans f erre d to the British eoootnies' although conside r i ng th a t i n some states they had colonies, materially suffered, yet the result of the ex periment hayingbeen unsuccessful, and cons id er i ng th e great distanc e of tide voyage they had to u n d er t a k e , an d th e chances of th e i r h e to which th ey were m g w ithout any knowl e d ge o f t h e country ing sufficient provisionsand the c h ances o f t h e i r not bring rils for thei r j ourney, i t had not been deemed ad v isable;witl permission s to hn th n e ld in i Len g t i t n n s of fo the. ouse of Commons , to Demerara , i or the West Indriaplesolpalnedtso. depart from with in regard to another part of the same subject, namely, the emigration a o f i t: o le natives from India to the different the latter place led him (Lord John Mauritius , tl it te nss r e e l p i r t t n s for : y o n. thousand There In t i tr a e h n n t u c t on ta cl e % had been introduced into that e a individuals from India, and colony thing which he could learn, that thenoti appear, by any means sufferers ; uu.the contrary, they i t i a a c t i been by any wages, had been well treated, and had lLen. m r o ec t eived , g u n :, d .fcctly aware of the conditions on which they had .eo o v n e e r- l - '- a nd enabled to enforce their conditions against sutnlierne, their masters as had attempted to break through them. f The intercouraei too, between Calcutta and the Alauritius was such as enabled them with great facility to communi cate their condition arid prospects to their connexions at 1 - 1 of them had home. ..:Lany . engaged themselves for five years, and were willing at the expirat:on of that time to engage themselves for five more, but that it was prohi bited 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 proposed to him (Lord J. Russell) to allow them to go for a n aPprenticeship as it was called, of five years ; but (as the noble lord was ' understood) he had objected to that, considering thatafter year a contract might again be made, 0.,1d there one as apprenticeship moaned the learnin g was no reason, ~ • that of of a trade a term or service as 9f five years should ' why so long period or term of be undertaken.

Mr. V. SMITH was understood to say that no new matter was to be introduced into his bill, as Mr. Fiume feared. Mr. GoULBURN was riot then sufficiently acquainted with the subject before the house to give any decided opinion upon it, but he would reserve to himself the right of hem -Ikfter discussing it upon proper data. ! •.= . ; - ;•t , - - - - , .. . . After a few words In reply from Lord J. RussELL, the leave to bring in the bill, .sought for by Mr. Smith, was granted. COPYRIGHT LAW. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD moved for leave to bring in a bill " to amend the law of copyright ;"—a motion that led to considerable discussion. Mr. WAKLEY 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 TALFOURD 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 division. 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 renewal of their licenses from the excise of Scotland. After remarks from Mr. Pringle, Mr. Oswald, Mr. Lock hart, and Mr. Goulburn, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER satd he would not object to the introduction of the bill, although he was not prepared to concur iu all its provisions. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. Mr. LADOUCHERE then moved for, and obtained leave to bring in a bill for establishing . " inland bonded warehouses ;" it was precisely the same bill. as previously introduced: Lord J. RUSSELL moved the appointment of a select com mittee " on the publication of printed papers by order of the house. 7 Agreed to, and committee nominated. . . The remaining business 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 purpose. There was no other business of importance. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. THE CONVICTED CHARTISTS. Mr. LEADER, Mr. HUME, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, and COI. SALWEY, 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 bad intended to found on the petitions, at the suggestion of Mr. Kelly. Lord J. RUSSELL 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 Cloninel, 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 be inserted in all future canal or railway bills, 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 of Lords. After the presentation of petitions on the subject, Mr. E. TENNENT moved the 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. V 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 AGLIoNeY's motion for returns regarding Chancery fees, &c., having been adopted, the house adjourned. M ISCELLANEOUS. Government has resolved to establish a fire brigade, on the London plan, in the Mauritius.

It is a large flag, about four inches in thickness, and three feet square, having nine iron studs inserted on its surface at equal distances. FREAK OF NATURE.—Passing along the north road, a few days ago, we observed an ass of somewhat curious appear ance. The animal was of the usual drab colour; but its legs were all brindled, the fore ones from the foot to the shoul der, and the hinder up nearly to the haunches. Oninquiry, we found it belonged to one Parkinson, of Bolton-by-the- Sands, and was the dam of two young ones, both marked in the same singular way. We are not aware that a similar curi osity has been before observed.—Lancaster Gazette.

A MAN CHOKED BY A PIECE OF MUTTON.—Au inquest was held on Tuesday last upon the body of James Brand wood, a weaver, aged GO years, residing in York-street. Sarah, the wife of Daniel Smalley, deposed that the deceased assisted her husband occasionally to take in the stalls. About one o'clock on Sunday morning last, the deceascd came to her house with her husband to supper. She cooked supper which was mutton and potatoes. Deceased partook of it some time and began to sneeze and rattle in his throat. Her husband put his finger into his throat, and they both slapped him on the back to try to get something up.

ELECTION RUMOURS.—The present high sheriff of the county Cork, Mr:` 3.• J . Heard, has announced his intention of standing as a candidate for the borough of Kinsale, on the liberal interest. Colonel Thomas has announced his deter mination again to stand for the borough. • MAD Docs.—We understand that the neighbourhood of Tarvin has been visited by one of these pests, and that two children have been bitten. As it is not improbable that some of the canine race have been bitten also, we advise the in habitants to be careful how they let their dogs loose--Ches ter Courant. It is said that at the elevations on the marriage of the Queen, three of the ministers will have a step in the peerage, and a fourth be elevated to it ; the four names mentioned are those of the Premier, Lord Palmerston, the Marquis of Lans downe, and Sir John Hobhouse. It may notbe generally known, that the moss gathered from the bark of the ash tree will immediately stop the effusion of blood from a wound, caused by cattle goading or fighting with each other. This is an excellent remedy, as it may with safety be applied in the absence of a veterinary surgeon. INVERNESS BURGHS.—As it has been announced that Mr. Macleod, the present M.P. for this district, is about to retire from the representation, either immediately or at the first dissolution, a meeting . of the -liberal electors.has been held, at which it has been resolved to incite Mr. Morrison of London to become a candidate. Mr. Morrison belongs •to the great American firm of Morrison, Craigie, and Co., and formerlY . repreSented Ipswich. The burghs will also be con tested by Mr. Friser, Cromarty House, on the Conservative interest. HOLY WELL--We have lately alluded to the stoppage of the cotton mills, and the consequent distress which exists in this populous town and its dependent neighbourhood ; and it affords us infinite pleasure to find that David Pennant, Esq., of Downing, has, with that unwearied and unostentatious regard and watchfulness to the wants and necessities of the poor, which has ever characterised his long and useful life, regularly distributed .f. 5 weekly, to the unemployed spinners —an act of seasonable benevolence, which (added to the other great but unknown charities of the House of Downing,) we trust will be followed up at the present crisis by the affluent and charitable of that now distressed part of the Principality. - - —Cheater Courant. REPRESENTATION OF CHESHIRE.—We have been in formed that it is agreed by a certain party, who usually lead in such matters, not to " disturb the peace of the county" at the next general election, but to let the two divisions be re presented by four conservatives. In that case. Mr. Wilbra ham is to be pitch-forked into the House of Peers, and the Hon. E. J. Stanley is to be thrust upon Stockport, with Mr. Cobden, of Manchester, whom he has selected for his col league, and is to replace Major Marsland. We do not pre- . _ tend to be entirely in the secret, hut if the whigs have select ed Stockport as the " Refuge for the Destitute" in their extremity, we think they will find, to their sorrow, that they have " reckoned without their host," at least so far as our conservative representative's seat is concerned.—Stockport Advertiser. POPISII OUTRAGE ON FILE WESLEYANS.—On Monday evening, according to announcernetit, the Rev. Mr. Dixon, a Wesleyan Methodist preacher, from Sheffield, delivered a lecture in the Old Wesleyan chapel at Barnsley, " on Popery." Sometime before the hour announced, four or five hundred Irish Papists took possession of the principal parts of the chapel, and whilst the Rev. gentleman was delivering his dis course, he was interrupted by them in language of the most abominable description. Several gentleman, members of the Wesleyan . body, endeavoured to appease them, but in vain. They repeatedly exclaimed, " He's a liar !" and cursing and swearing folloived on all sides. Their conduct was such as Winihr,We disgraced a common pot-house. In addition to alt_thiS,_several h} mfr- books were taken away, and others Awe - fully damaged.—. Leeds Intelligeucer. - VALUE OF STEAM-VESSELS.—The Corrington, a home waid-hound vessel from the West Indies, was fallen in with, on Saturday-morning last, not many miles from the Nore Light, during a very severe gale, by Captain Lee. of the Vivid, : Hull and London steamer. The Indianan hoisted sigcals ;of distress, and on nearing her, the crew of the Steamer succeeded in getting a ropemade fast to the vessel, whiCh was in a terrible condition—her decks having been clean swept-by-the impetuosity of the hurricane, which had been so violent that the crew were.compelled to cut away the masts. By the power Of the steamer she was towed through the heavy. sea.s,,and .safely moored at the Blackwall ,buoy, near the West India-dock, by eleven o'clock the same evening.--- Captain.

Many score of sheep were carried-off, and hundreds of loads of manures. The Shrewsbury and Holyhead mail got through with six horses ; and fears were entertained that the noble Bridge would have been swept away. The storm was severely felt in Bala, by Lyn Tegid, ne,Nly swamping the town.. Heavy peals of thunder accom panied the storm. We hare not heard of any loss of human life by the flood.—CA.ester Courant. Gboalotst MAJaarrv'.--When any indiriduahneth - - her of the House of Commons is called into question, let the question affect him ever so much, the etiquette is that, after hearing the charges against him and giving his reply, he takes up his hat and Walks - out, leaving to the rest of the house the task of 'deciding upon the merits of the case. This does not apply merely to the perSonal misconduct of members, but even to their retaining their seats in thehonse in consequence • of some change in their position, which neither politically nor morally, could affect their characters. The last 'session afforded cases in point - in Mr. Harvey and Mr. Charles Wynn. And now let it be asked whether, if this same par liamentary etiquette was observed with respect to a Ministry, we should at this moment have been plagued With the con tinuation of an imbecile whig Ministry to-morrow? If the placemen had taken up their hats and walked, and left it to those who do not receive any- of the public money, where would the Ministry have been before to-morrow morning? OUT. They had a glorious majority of twenty-one, and as an Irishman would say, si.ry-four of them were placemen! And it is a remarkable fact that the greatest number of placemen whom Sir Robert Peel could command in an unreformed House of Commons, when be was struggling against the Reform Bill, life and soul, was just half that number — thirty-two ! But it was not usual then to offer ships to cap tains who had already saved some money in the. service,. if they would contest the sea-port boroughs in which the:Go vernment of course is always a capital customer, and pro tanto, exercises influence. Many things were not usual then which are yery . Common now. The bar was not attempted by creating for those who are too young, or too idle, or too unknown, by commissionerships in all shapes and of almost all sizes. But what branch of the public service is there in which the same game has not been played ? And si.rty.fonr. • placemen can after all, make a glorious majority of twenty one ~ - --:llforning Herald. POPULATION STATISTICS. -- It may perhaps better enable those persons who live at a distance from Preston, an&are told from time to time of its increasing importance, if_we make them acquainted with a fact relating to its present co pulation as compared with the census taken in 1831, which calculation has been as carefully made as possible, and the results may be relied upon as giving the increase rather lesit than exceeding the exact amount. In 1831 the township of Preston and Fishwick, which now form the parliamentary borough and the Preston district of the poor-law union, con tained a population of 33,871 persons ; and at the close of 1839, there was a population in the same district of 63,850 persons. By the census of 1831, the whole district com prised in the Preston poor-law union contained a population of 58,838 persons :—at the end of 1839 the number was in creased to 93,732. As we have above intimated, our readers, and the public generally, may rely that these numbers in the increase of the population are rather under than above the exact amount.—Preston. Pilot. A.STRIKING PARALLEL FOR THE WHIGS.—About sixty years ago the position of the whigs in the House of Commons, as regards numbers, was precisely what it is now. In the first and great struggle between Pitt and Fox, they had a majority, varying from nineteen to two, as we have seen them have in our own time; but the tories, on the contrary, had then, as now, the country decidedly with them. Nor does the parallel end here. With their small though tyrant ma jority in the house, the whigs held the voice of the people nut of it as nothing. Fox declared that the voice of the re presentatives was the voice of the people, and that the house ought not to be affected by any thing said or felt beyond its walls. Are not the whigs acting at least the same part at the present crisis ? So also the great majority of the House of Lords was with the tories ; hut the whigs defied and de rided it, as- if it was 4 mere obsolete branch of the legislature, while the people looked up to it as theii safeguard from the tyranny and misdeeds of their own pseudo-representative chamber. The corporation of London then, as now also, took the lead in the popular movement to exclude the whigs from power; and, indeed, with the exception of the whigs in Fox's time, most scandalously abusing the court because it was against them, whereas they now as scandalously, truckle to. it because it is in their favour, the parallel is in, almost every point complete. 1-tow the struggle ended in a former crisis is well known ; and no one can for a moment doubt that the parallel will be carried out by a similar termination in the present one.—Morning Herald.. • ROWING ONE WAY AND LOOKING ANOTIIF.II.—NO merous •as are the virtues of your thorough-paced radical, taciturnity is not usually reckoned in the catalogue of his qualifications. To him there is no delight at all to be compared with that of hearing himself tiilk—no mortification to equal.that - of self-imposed silence. Indeed it into be dotibt ed whether a passion for spouting has not-made more radicals than idleness, or poyerty, or disappointed ambition, or, any other cause whatever ; and the longer the man lives, the stronger does the eaeoellos grow upon Vim. That -an old stager in this line should miss an opportunity of flaring up, sounds almost as strange as a" gentleman on town " refus ing an invitation to dinner ; and it is this which created such general surprise, when it was found that the debate on . Sir John Buller 's motion was allowed to close almost without a word from the radical section of the house. Were they ashamed of what they were about, that, in voting their confidence in her Majesty's - ministers, they dare not lift up their voices and give a reason for the faith that was in them ? Did they think that after all their mighty threats and professions, the least said would be soonest mended ? Or were they so sensible of the ridicule to which Lord Ilowick exposed himself by pro mising to vote Ar ministers after speaking against them, that they were determined to avoid at least the latter part of the mistake, by keeping their mouths shut? The meanness carried on with its own punishment ; for it mu s t have been no slight penance to endure all the miseries of the " silent system " from Tuesday night till Saturday morning, and sit like muzzled curs bursting to bark, though they never have the co urage t o bi te. It was prophesied in the Herald last Monday, that, though very clamorous for Sir Robert Peel tc4 speak out, th ey wou ld themselves snea k out w h en b roug h t,to the scratch ; and they may rest assured that the other part Q f t t e o gi e prediction will b e ver i fied—name l y , th a t by playi ng Jerry whi gs " f or t h e shifty purpose o f k eep i ng t h e i r seats undisturbed for a few months longer, they will, for the mo s t part, lose them altogether." Such truckling must have the effect of disgusting the radical constituencies n into i d•ff of incensing the m into rence, or for a little more Honestyn tolook out ' dett;r - minatio. . ; and in either. case . the " scripts" will find that rowing one way and looking anothcr is not good policy at last. 7.? la • -/zeragu• VESSELS ENTERED FOR LOADING (SINCE OUR LAST PUBLICATION.)

The sales on Thursday last were 3500 bags ; Friday 5000 ; 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 without 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. •4. 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, anti 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 6d per quarter on Oats and Beans. Several thousand barrels of American Flour -in bond have changed hands at 29s 6d to 105, and some Western Canal at 305 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 calf note only a very moderate extent of business, at about our last quotations.

The private purchases amount' to 1000 hints and tcs. ; there was no public sale. The market closed with a firm appearance.
