THE TRUSTEES of the LIVERPOOL COCKS and HARBOUR HEREBY GIVE 'NOTICE, that, in ac cordance with the recent survey of Captain DaraHAsi, R.N., the following Improvements in the LIGHTING, BEACONING, and BUOYING of the Approaches to the ort will be in 1 4 ope ration on and after the Night of the I st of A ust next , viz. , ... • POINT LYNAS LIGHT.---TIIIS Light, hith rto SO situated as to preclude seeing it seaward, and merely shown by a single re flector Upon the long. shore aspects, will be advanced to the pitch of the point, and exhibited from a castellated building (with white basement) recently erected thereon, with a powerful, steady light of the naturel colour, produced by 13 argand lamps and reflectors, ranging over 211 degrees of the northern and sou th- e astern horizon, at an elevation of 128 feet above half tide level, reudering it visible in clear weather 6 to 7 leagues from a ship's deck, or within 1 league of taking up the N .W. - Light Ship off Liverpool. This Light is so masked for local inshore effect as to obscure itself when brought eastward of S.E.

New CHANNEL LAND-MARK.—In order to render the line of leading objects into the New Channel more available in hazy weather, or accidental absence of the Light Vessel, a dark bulky frame-work has been erected on the High-water Shore of Formby, in line of Light-vessel and Light-house. HOYLAKE LIGHT-110U7SES,—TheS8 Buildings, in order to distinguish them more effectually from the neighbouring houses, will henceforth be painted white. Dove BEACONS.—Two Beacons will appear on Dove Point instead , of one, affording a leading mark, when brought in line upon tile bearing of S. by E. for passing between the Dove Spit and East .Hoyle, in reference to the eastern entrance of Hoy - lake.

COLONEL LINDSAY AND TOS whig and radical papers, as is their wont on all sutb occasions, • have raised an outcry against the appointment of Colonel Lind say to the command of the Fifeshira militia—an appointment proposed by the lord lieutenant of the county, and, therefore, its a matter of course, approved by his majesty, and sanctioned by the government. Al} parties come in fur a share'of the whig radical vituperator, King, lord lieutenant, government, and Colonel Lindsay himself. And what is the charge? Not that the gallant officer is not one of the best qualified persons in the . county for such an appointment. but that 'a - partizan of the ministry has not been selected ! We are not disposed to den that civil offices ought to be filled with some regard to such feel ings, at least it is not unreasonable that they should; but hitherto the army has been five from such a system of favouritism. We Fay that it may loug be so, otherwise the right arm of the court . try will be at once unstrung. Let it be observed what would be the consequence of following the suggestions of the whig-radical prints iu this matter. They desire that Captain Weinyas should be appointed, because he expended some money (?) in obtain ing his election; in other ite.her words, that a military appoint ment should be given to a naval officer, in repayment for his having obtained a seat in parliament.

Mr, BERNAL brought up the Western Australia,goveratnent bill, the Isle of Man corn irnportattou bill, and several private_ bills, which were read a first time. The Dover harbour bill was read a third time and passed. TIMBER DUTIES. The Earl of ABERD4EN presented a petition signed by a numerous body of highly respectable indi,•tduals (gt the subject of the timber duties. The question was of so much importance to the shipping interest genetally, and involved so directly the iirosperity of the British colonies in North America, that he hoped no alteration would be made in those duties, until a pre vious inquiry into the subject had been-Instituted by their lord ships, as well as by the other house of parliament.—The peti tion, which was from the shipowners of Port. Glasgow, was laid on the table. MUNICIPAL REFORM BILL. Lord BROUGHAM, in reference to the municipal reform bill, observed that he bud two objections to the measure iu the other house.• The first was, that the bill did not contain sufficient provision to prevent the abuse of trust funds—the second was, that he could see no reason to exclude from the benefits of free dom those who bad received their right to it by virtue of seven years' apprenticeship and servitude iu some useful trade. His lordship intimated that, if the bill did not reach the upper house with alterations in these particulars, he should propose clauses to that effect. TNE.EARL OP DEVON. Lord DENMAN said he had transmitted their lordships' vote of thanks to the Earl of Devon, from whom he had received an answer, which, with their lordships' permission, he would now read. • His lordship then read, in an audible tone, as fol lows : "Duke-street, June 26, "My lard,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your lordship's letter of yesterday's date, communicating to me an unanimous resolution of the House of Lords, and I beg of you to convey to the house my sincere thanks for the very flat tering manner in which my services as clerk-assistant have been noticed. To merit the approbation of one of the houses of par liament of this great country must be to every man a source of just pride ; but this affords peculiar pleasure to one who has had the opportunities which I have enjoyed of witnessing the great talents and high trine of feeling which characterise the individuals who have concurred in this resolution • and this ex pression of approbation from the House of Lords is, 1 trust, calculated to answer a more important purpose than the grati fication of my personal vanity., After more than thirty years spent in the various gradations of .a lawyer's life, I am now re tiring from a high office, for which I was selected by those who were acquainted with my conduct in other situations. We know that in the exercise of the legal profession the successful barrister secures for himself a high reward in the confidence and admiration of the public before whom lie acts; but in the more quiet, though not less honourable, stations which it has been my lot to fill, the meed of praise from the few whose posi tion peculiarly enables them to appreciate the due performance of the duties belonging to them becomes doubly valuable; and whilst the flattering testimony now borne to my conduct will al ways he to use a source of the purest gratification, I think also the younger men engaged in'the pursuit of a laborious profes sion may draw from it this useful lesson—that even Without the possession of great powers or brilliant talents, they may assuredly secure to themselves much of honourable dititinction and. of worldly advantage by the diligent r and faithful discharge of the duties of those .stations in which they may happen to be placed. I beg to return your lordship my best acknowledgments for the kind expressions with which you have accompained the con veyance of the resolution to me; and "I have the honour to remain, my lord, " Your lordship's faithful servant, " The Lord Speaker, &c. " DEVON." The reading of this acknowledgment was followed by loud cries of " Hear." _ Viscount MELBOURNE moved—" That the letter addressed to the Lord Speaker by the Eurl of Devon in acknowledgment of the vote of this house be entered on the journals."—Agreed to nem. di:. OATHS' ABOLITION BILL. The Duke of RiciamoNn said he had on a former evening given notice of his intention to propose a bill for the amendment of the unnecessary oaths' abolition bill. Since that time, how ever, some individuals in the city of London complained, that if this act did away with voluntary affidavits with reference to commercial papers in this country, it would place them in a worse situation than individuals in the West Indies, who were also engaged in commercial speculations. Now, he certainly did not wish to place mercantile men here in a worse situation than that in which their brethren in the West Indies were placed; and, therefore,. it was his intention to move for the re appointment of the select committee on the abolition of oaths bill. The probable view of that committee would be to recom mend that the system of taking voluntary oaths in the West Indies should be abolished, and thus the parties would be placed on a level. The noble duke concluded by moving that "the committee on the abolition of unnecessary oaths be renewed." The motion was agreed to, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. DROGIIEDA ELECTION. Mr. Gontautim reported to the house, that A. C. O'Dwyer, Esq., had not been duly elected, and that the Hon. Randall Plunkett ought to have been returned. The clerk of the crown haying amended the return, Mr. Plunkett took his seat, as did Mr. %ors for the borough of Carlow. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS. Sir J. Y. BULLER presented a petition from the corporation of Tiverton against some parts of the municipal reform bill. Lord BANDON could not let that opportunity pass without no ticing a statement in the report of the commissioners in refer ence to this borough. The :statement regarded the appointment of an officer several years ago. The real facts of the case were these :—The Earl of Harrowby, about thirty years ago, on the recommendation of the corporation of this borough. appointed a gentleman to the office of receiver-general of the county. Finding, h owever, previous to the completion of the appoint . .urent, that this gentleman had bargained with the corporation to pay a certain sum towards one of their charities, the Earl of Harrowbv refused to complete the appointment until this bar gain was disavowed and annulled. It was rather unfair on the part of the commissioners to be bringing forward stories of this kind relating to matters that Occurred So tnanv years ago; when professedly amongst all parties the standard of political morality was by no means so high or so pure as it was at the present day. (Hear.). At the period, for instance, of Lord North's adminis tration, men the most pure, virtuous, and honourable in private life ,did things in their political capacity of which public men now-a-days would he ashamed. (Hear, hear.) Having de fended Lord Harrowby, he would only add that in this instance, and in other reports of the commissioners, a strong colouring had been given to their statements by persons who seemed de termined to make out a case. (Hear.) Mr. BLACKBURN defended the conduct of the commissioners. IRISH POOR LAWS. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from Dublin in favour of a pour-law for Ireland. DISSENTERS. In answer to a question by Mr. Wilks, Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated, that early in the next session he would introduce mea sures relative to church rates, registrations of births, marriages and deaths, and dissenters' marriages. ROMAN CATHOLIC OATH. Sir IL INGLis conceived himself called upon to make a few observations with respect to something that had passed on the presentation of a petition by him a few nights ago to that house. I-le had certainly not beard that which had been (as we under stood the hon. gentleman to say, who spoke in a low tone, and amidst considerable noise ) reported to have passed on the occa sion, although he was in his place. lie had merely done what he conceived to be his duty nu the presentation of that petition, but it appeared that he had been very *grossly attacked by an hon. and learned gentleman opposite. As to the scandal of that hOn. and learned gentleman, he would rather be the sub ject of it than otherwise, but he did deprecate any course that was calculated to prevent free debate in that house. Either there or elsewhere he should .he ready to explain all he had stated on this question, Mr. O'CositsEt.t. said, that as to what he had stated, he had done no snore than confine himself to the debate Lefote the house. Sir R. Nun s.—You descend to personalities. Mr. O'CONNELL—Personalities! The charge made against him was that of perjury; and was a person who accused another of perjury to appeal to the sy m p a thi es of th e h ouse if th e p ar ty repelling the charge resorted to personalities ? He had given an answer to the charge which had been brought against ; he should not do so any more; hut if any person accused him again of perjury, he would not, in refutation, resort to person alities, but he would tell him in plain and more modern language that lie was lying. (Cries of " Oh, oh !" " Hear, hear, and " Chair, chair.") To gentlemen who cheered at this, he would only say once more, that if he were accused again of perjury, he should just use language in repelling the accusation equal in character to that which was applied to him. That was the way he should meet the charge, and be never would consent to be bandying civil terms with any man who should dare to make that charge against him again, feeling there was no man in that house lest capable of committing such a crime than himself. Sir R. 'No Lts then called upon the Speaker to interfere to protect the freedom of debate in that house, and it being his business to protect the individual honour of members. The'SnrAgnalaidimanndoribtedly language bad - Veen used which could only have been- used in, the heat of the moment. Ile could not but regret hearing it said of the statement made by one of the oldest members of that house that his statement was false. No doubt the language that had provoked that expres sion had been strong also; but he should never cease to say that the use of such expressions was not only extremelyincon venient, but most undesirable. Freedom of debate never could be so well preserved as by hon. gentlemen maintaining that calmness of temper which ought to characterize the proceed ings of the House of Commons. He did hope that this matter would now be at an end. IPSWICH ELECTION. A long discussion arose respecting the parties now in custody on account of their conduct in this business, who were ordered to he brought to the bar of the house on the following day. Mr. Giseotouss: gave notice of a motion that the Attorney (ienerat be instructed to prosecute all the parties implicated in the bribery practised at the Ipswich election. Messrs. Bignuld and Booth were ordered to attend at the house on Monday next, and Mr. Keith, Mr. Money, and Mr. Pilgrim-were also ordered to attend on the same day. GOVERNOR OF INDIA. Mr. W. PR AR n rose, pursuant to notice, to move for copies of ally communications which had passed etween the board of commissioners for the affairs of India and the court of directors of the East India Company, on the subject of the revocation of the appointment of Lord Heytesbury as governor.geueral of India. He said he did not regret that he bad not enjoyed the 'opportunity of bringing forward his motion at an earlier period, because he wished it to be considered upon its own merits, apart from all personal and political motives. The East India Com pany desirous of having a permauent successor appointed in the room of Lord William Bentinek, Lord Heytesbury was selected by Sir Robert Peel's administration, but in April the noble lord's appointment was cancelled by authority of the iign ma nual, au extreme exercise of power for which some urgent rea son should be assigned. Under these circumstances, he was of opinion that the house ought to have an opportunity cf express ing its opinion, and be begged to refer them to the act of 1833. He nudes stood that a communication had been made to the court of directors by the board of control, that the two months Would not be counted from the cancelling of Lord Heytesbury, but from the return t.t . Lord W. Bentinelc. Now this, he must say, was an unconstitutional exercise of the crown; for, suppose that the two-months had elapsed before the arrival of Lord W. Bentinck, and that a change of ministry should take place in the interim, the new ministry might very fairly not think them selves bound by an arrangement made contrary to the express provisions of an act of parliament, and in that case the appoint ment, to which the court of directors would otherwise have a right, would lapse to the crown. He would now ask whether there were any reasons for' the objection made to the appoint ment bf Lord Ileytesbury? If the right hon. baronet (Sir J. C. Ilobliciuse) would say. that he did not consider the govern ment of India Would be safe in the hands of the noble lord—it' he thought that the commands of government here would not be obeyed by the noble lord in India. then his motion would fall to the ground; but i! he (Mr. Praed could show that the only T LIVERPOOL STANDARD. ground for cancelling the appointment was the difference of po litical opinion between the noble lord and the present adminis tration, he should prove, that however wide the difference of opinion might be, it formed no just ground for the removal of the noble lord.' Was the ground of objection to th:s appoint ment that it had been made by the late president of the board of control (Lord "Ellenhorough j? He would appeal to his suc cessor (Sir J. C. liobhouse) and ask whether the individual re commended by that noble lord was unfit to administer the government of India ? He would now ask what were the oh ectiens to Lord. Heyteshure's fitness for the offire of governer general ?• Ile had already filled some of ;he highest offices, and had been long before the public, and he ( Mr. Praed) had never beard a word against the manner in which he had discharged the duties of those appointments. lie would therefore call ou the government to show some specific reason for the cancelling of the noble lord's appointment. Ile would not be satisfied with a mere declamatory answer, but he wished, for a substantial reasou, for he thought that it was most ilujust to the noble lord, who had already received so many marks of the royal favour on account of his public services, to let his character - be whispered away by idle rumours. He would appeal with confidence to many hou. members opposite for their knowledge of the services of the noble lord (at that time Sir William A'Court) while in Lisbon, where he had a delicate and most important duty to perform, and for the efficient discharge of which he had been raised to the peerage. He had on that occasion received the cordial thauks of Mr. Canning, and also of the government which had succeeded that of Mr. Canning. Taking this as fact, and it could not be denied, there was nothing in the con duct of the noble lord to create any objection to the noble lord's fitness for the high station to which he had been appointed. The only ground, then, on which his appointment was cancelled must have been his difference in politics from the present government, and that he (Mr. Praed) would contend was not a sufficient ground for the exercise of his majesty's prerogative. In 18.33 the government disclaimed the intentipn of taking the patronage of India into their own hands, but the present case would seem as if they were disposed to depart from that rule. • The change of the government and the diffeience of political opinion between the newly-appointed governor-general and the ! new administration would not, he contended, justify the revo cation of the appointment. It was, he admitted, necessary that j the governor-general should have the confidence of the govern ment at home, and also that of the directors ; but if by "confi- ! dence" was meant " coincidence in political opinions," then he would say that the same principle which would justify the re vocation of the appointer ent of a governor-general of India would also justify the removal of all who held important ap- I pointmeets under . the preceding government. ( Hear, hear.) Lord lleyteshury had been appointed for some time, and had I got everything ready to take his departure. Nose, under those circumstances; if want of confidence, or in other words, want of coincidence in political opinion, would justify the cancelling of Lord Ileytesbary's appointment, it would also justify his recall, if he had gone out. there was another reason why this prece dent was a most dangerous one. In this country, where the demand for men capable of filling all departments of the public service could be readily supplied, it 'was necessary that every important public office should he filled by persons in the con& dence of government; but in India there was often difficulty in filling many important appointments with men of proper quali fications; and if this principle of coincidence in political opi nion with the government at home were to be adopted, the diffi culty would be increased by having to select from only one party (hear, hear) a principle which never had been adopted with re spect.to appointments in India. Another reason against the adoption of this principle was this—that it was most important to the stability of our dominion in India that the directors should have the great authority in their own hands, in order that the respect of the people of India should be continued to them. Was it, then, at such a moment as this that the govern ment should expose them to the,contempt of thepeople of India by suddenly, and without any reason assigned, cancelling the appointment of the governor on whom their choice had fallen? Let him add, that if the government set the example of teach ing governors-general of India that they exist as such only by the contingency of agreeing in political opinion with the ad ministration aChome, they would, teach them also to make all their patronage and influence subservient to the continuance of the government at home. (Hear hear.) It was well known that since 178 , 1 the government had administered the affairs of India without any reference to European politics. (Hear.) Mr. Praed then quoted the opinions of Mr. C. Grant and the Marquis of Lansdowne in support of his argument, and also that of Mr. T. B. Macaulay, who, speaking in that house on the India bill, had said:—" Sir, what we want is a body inde pendent of the crown, and no more than independent ; which shall he neither the tool of the ministry nor of the opposition." Wheh Sir Robert Peel came into office he did not recall the gentleman appointed to the government of Bombay, Sir Robert Grant, although that gentleman had acted in opposition to his government; but there was a still stronger case, that of a mem ber of the Legislative Council of Calcutta. Mr. Macaulay, who had been appointed by the government preceding that of his right hon. friend (Sir lt. Peel,) and whose recall, if the principle adopted by the present government were to be adhered to, would have something stronger than that fur the recall of Lord Heytesbury to recommend it,—Mr. Macaulay had by his erroneous cpnstruction of a clause in the Dew act relating to India acted in a capacity which he was not ant horised to do by that act ; but though that would of itself justify his recall, though he would admit that the error was a slight one, yet the government at home had not taken that course. for. Praed concluded by moving that there lie laid before the house, " Co pies of any communications which have passed between the Board of Commissioners for the Affairs of India and the Court of Directors of the East India Company on the subject of the revocation of the appointment of Lord Heytesbury as Governor- General of India.' _ _ _ On the question being put from the chair, Sir JOHN HonHousi did not know whether the hon. member was really serious in his intention to take the sense of the house on the motion just read from the chair. • The house and the country know all that in his opinion was necessary to be known. If the hon. member thought this exercise of the prerogative of the Crown was indiscreetly used, no papers which could be pro. duced would make the fact more clear. 11 he disapproved of the revocation, and the house should go along with him in the opinion, no doeements would be necessary. There would be great inconvenience in publishing the confidential communica tions between the Court of Directors and the Board ofeontroul, and it might give unnecessary pain to others to have those facts and circumstances published. If the house should decide that the government was wrong in revoking the appointment, they would bow to its decision, but until the house took that course the government would continue to adhere to what they consi dered to be their duty, for they thought it would be highly pre judicial, not only to the interests of India but to those of the empire at large, to publish the documents for which the hon. member called. The hnu. member had asked him, "Do you object to a nominee of Lord Ellenborough ?" To that question he would,reply at once, "1 do." (Great cheering on the mi nisterial benches.) "I do not," continued Sir John Hobhouse, "object to the capacity of that noble lord as inadequate to the duties of his recent office of President of the Board of Centroul, but I do object to his sending out a Governor-General to India for nie. (Loud cheers from the ministerial benches.) When be asks me whether I have not seen in my office proofs of the genius and talent of Lord Ellenborough, I willingly admit to him that I have seen proofs that Lord Ellenborough takes very large and enlightened views of what ought to be our public policy in India. (Cheers from both sides of the house.) I say this, because it is only due to the noble lord. But there is a wide dis!inction between this and the inference which the lion. gentleman wishes me to draw. I say it does not follow that be cause I think Lord Ellenborough a distinguished man, and because he appointed Lord Heytesbury Governor-General of India, and because Lord Heytesbury had not sailed when I ices first appointed to the office which I have now the honour to hold, lam therefore to confirm that appointment. ( Hear, hear.) The hon. member said that the recall of Lord Heytesbury by the authority of his maiesty's government must hurt the cha racter of the Court of Direct Ors in their dominions : in India. He had said further, that when the news should arrive in India that the Governor-General recommended by the Court of Di rectors, and approved by his majesty, was not to be sent out, it must tend materially to shake their authority. Dad the hon. gentleman ever considered, if his argument were correct. how much more their character must have been hurt, and their au thority shaken, by what had occurred in that house during the sessiiat of 1833 ? 'When the East India Company's charter was under discussion, the King's governthent was opposed upon it by all the influential gentlemen in the Court of Directors, and yet it persevered in carrying it notwithstanding. The hon. member had repeated the assertion over and over again, that the revocation of the appointment of Lord Heytesbury would shake their authority in India, and so perhaps it would. But it was much better that the authority of the Court of Directors in those regions should receive a shock than that the cordial sym pathy which ought to exist between a Governor-General and the myriads intrusted to his sway should be weakened. At the close of the debate the numbers were, for the motion 179, against it 254. The motion was consequently lust by a majority of 75. MUNICIPAL CORPORATION BILL. The 11th, 12th, 13th, and I , lth clauses of this bill were readin committee, and, with some amendivents, agreed to. CATOOLIC MARRIAGES (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. The house adjourned at two o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS--TUESDAY. JUNE 30. . . Lord KENYON presented two petitions, one of them from Winchelsea,;COritemplating of certain proceedings ou the part of the pootin,i_ commissioners. The Earl of Ross:11E1{1 , presented a petition from the minister and elders of a congregation in Edinburgh against the grant of public money for church accommodation in Scotland. On the motion of Vi-count DUNCANNON, the select committee for inquiring into the best plan to be adopred for rebuilding the two Houses of Parliament was revived. • . Lord KINNOUL moved for a copy of an art of the General Assembly of the church of Scotland, of the 'Nth of May, 1835, and a copy of the regulations for carrying that act into effect.— Ordered. NATIONAL morcAnoN. Lord BROUGH AM moved the order of the day fot resuming the adjourned debate on his resolutions relative to education. Viscount MELBOURNE assured his noble and learned friend (Lord Brougham) that the whole of his Majesty's ministers had the object of general education as much at heart as he (Lord Brougham) could possibly have. But he thought that a bill would be preferable to his resolutions, and therefore recom mended him to withdraw them and bring forward a measure founded upon the principles he had laid down. Lord Bnocu II A M addressed the house at great length, and adopting the suggestion of Lord Melbourne withdrew his ieso lution. HOUSE OF COMMONS—TUESDAY. • PENIUN ELECTION. A ballot was taken for a committee to-day on the Perirvn election, and the gallery was consequently not opened till tweOty minutes past four o'clock. MUNICIPAL CORPORATION BILL. Petitions praying that all inchoate rights might be preserved under this bill were presented by Mr. G. Price, from Sandwich; by Mr. l'raed, from Yarmouth; b y Mr. Miles, from Bridge water; and by Sir It. Vyvyan, from Bristol. Petitions in favour of the bill were presented by Colonel Gore Langton, Mr. Parker, and Sir M. W. Ridley. YORK ELECTION. Mr. AGLIONBY presented a petition from the city of York complaining of bribery, corruptiou, and undue practices having been had recourse to, at the last election fur York. Ordered to lie on the table. The SPEAKER, addressing them respectively by -name, said, this house had resolved that they had been guilty of a beach of its pi ivileges by absconding in order to evade the service of the wad rant ot the Speaker, requiring them to appear before the committee to whom the petition complaining of undue returns for the borough of Ipswich had been referred to give testimony. This was a very grave offence on their part. There was no duty more incumbent on all persons, in all ranks and conditions of life, than to afford their testimony in order that the guilty might be punished and the innocent exculpated. In this in stance their offence had been. aggravated by the circumstances under which it had Miceli place. They had anticipated that an inquiry was likely to be instituted in that house, acting for and on behalf of the public, to maintain the purity of elections, and to secure the interests and rights of his Majesty's subjects ; with that anticipation, and with a full knowledge that they were in possession of facts important to be disclosed for the due ,admi nistration of justice, they had absconded to avoid service. Tne circumstances of their case called for a more severe punishment than the house in its lenity and mercy was disposed to inflict. The house had taken their petitions into its consideration; it found they had expressed their Sorrow and contrition for the ofliSnee they had committed, and it was disposed to administer justice leniently, iu the hope that that, and what they bad al ready suffered, would act as a warning to them, produce a salu tary and permanent influence on their future conduct, and that they would always bear in mind the best atonement they could make for the offence of which they had been guilty would be in Showing that they were ready to appear on whatever occasion, and in whatever place, they might be required to give all the evidence within their power, in order to carry into execution the ends of justi ce . Hoping that this effect would be produced, he had only furi her to inform them, that th'y should now be discharged upon the payment of the usual fees. The parties then bowed and withdrew. PROSECUTION BY TIIE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. Mr. GISHORNisaid that he rose to move, accorilitaz to the notice he had given yesterday, that his Majesty's attorney-gene ral be directed by the house to prosecute all the parties will.) ap peared to have been guilty of bribery at the Ipswich election. As he understood the motion was not to be opposed, ho should not make an observation upon it.—Motion agreed to. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL. Lord J. RussETt . :l;led that hon. members would now per mit him to move the order of the day that the house resolve itself into a committee upon the municipal corporations bill. Mr. Hume, Mr. Hutt, and Mr. 'Trevor postponed their mo tions. . _ Sir It. Peer. said that there seemed to be an impression that there Was a desire on the part of those with whom he was associ ated to throw some obsteuction in the ray of the noble lord's pro c'eeiling with his bill. Now, so far fromthat being the case, he' begged tcystate most distinctly that they were most anxious to have it on, and to proceed with it with as little delay as possibly can take place. (Cheers.) Great inconvenience took place to all parties from every delay that occured. The more steadily they proceeded with it, by far the better would it be both for their individual interests and for the interests of the, public. (Hear, hear.) As far as he was concerned he should give it every possible facility, and he sincerely wished that an arrange ment could be made whereby they could confirme their debates, upon it without any interruption whatever. (Cheers.) If they took that bill for an hour and a half one night and for two tours an•alier, very great delay would unavoidably take place, and, on the bringing up of the relnt, time would be a succession of those very amendments which ought to have been discussed iu committee. No doubt there would be great inconvenience at tending the morning sittings, frein the number of election and and other committees now sitting, but if any arrangement could be entered into by which they might regularly and on certain days, and at. certain hours, proceed with the 'bill, and continue its discussion as long as they possibly could devote their attention to it, the public business would in a most ma terial degree be accelerated. (Hear, hear.) So far from having the slightest objection to the measure, he should, on the contrary, be most happy to do all in his power to facilitate its progress, (hear, hear,) and that it would be the most acceptable. course to those with whom he had the honour to act. (Lotid cheels.) Lord J. R usseLL said, if any persons were to be found ready to impute to the right hon. gentleman an inclination to obstruct the progress of this bill, he (Lord J. Russell) was not one of them. (Hear, bear.) He believed the only object of that right hon. gentleman was, that the principles and provisions of the measure should be fully and fairly discussed, and he feared if other matters were allowed to interfere, it would lead to au un usually protracted session. There was no other motive of any kind that he would attributeao the right hon. gentleman. With respect fo two motions which bad recently been discussed on the subject of the order in council and the recall of Lord eytes bury, it had been the wish of government not to postpone them indefinitely,' and therefore they had been brought on pursuant to the notices which had been given. If, however, in the course of to night and Thursday and Friday they did nut make that progress in committee which he expected, he should be obliged to consider whether some other arrangemeut could not be made as respected the morning sittings. (Hear, hear.) 'the order of the day having been read, Lord J. Russeta, moved the 14th clause, which, after some discussion as to the appointment of revising barristers, wits carried. Clauses 15, 16, 17, and ltzi were agreed to, with some verbal amendments, without a division. . On the question that clause 19, which enacts that " in every borough shall be elected, at the time and in the manner herein. after mentioned, a certain number of fit persons, who shall be and be called the ' council' of such borough, and one fit person who shall be and be called the ' mayor' of such borough, and the number of persons so to be elected of the council in each borough shall be the number mentioned in conjunction with the name of such borough in the said schedules A and B," be agreed to, Mr. H. Hughes and Mr. Borthwick moved amendments to this clause which they subsequently withdrew. • Capt. BEI:KELE! moved as an amendment, a provision that " uo person in holy orders, licensed dissenting ministers, (v -eers of customs; stamps, excise, or in the pustotlice" should hold'a seat in any municipal council. This ainendruent having been put by the chairman, Sir ROSYRT PREL said the amendment he'bed to propose re lated to the qualification of those who were to he elected mem bers of town-councils. A great difference of Opinion existed on this subject, some thinking that the electors should be at liberty to select whom they pleased. while others thought a property qualification itadispensible. lie was quite aware that, accord ing to ancient practice, no pecuniary qualifications were re quited fur members of corporations, but the usual words of the charters were that they should elect "fit, discreet, and respect able" per,sons to fill the corporate offices. No peculiar qualifi cation was named beyond those general ter'ins, hut the spirit of the charter was, that persons fit for their respective offices should be, appointed, and he apprehended that even in those self-elected corporations, whatever might be their defects in other respects, care was taken to elect persons of wealth and respectability. Many towns were regulated in their local ar rangements—of police, watching, lighting, and so on, by acts of parliament, obt a ined generally by consent of the whole body, or by the great majority of the rate-paying inhabitants; in some of these the corporation's were included as guardians or trustees; in others they were not. These acts, he repeated, were in general sought for by the good-will of the majority of the rate payers, and were discussed before committees of that and the other house, but in almost every case it was found that a body was selected for controlling the watching, l'glitincs, or ether local arrangements. Sometimes this body was elected e by the rate-payers generally, and sometimes by those who pus sensed certain defined qualifications, but in all cases there was a fixed qualification named for those who were to be members of the governing bode. The right hon. baronet then proceeded to notice the cases of Manchester. Salford, Birmingham, Shef field, Sunderland, l)evonport, Wolverhanipton,, Bilstou, Bol ton, Brighton, Stroud and other places, iu all of which the persons who acted as commissioners were qualified by property before they were eligible to do so. In asking the committee to adhere to this course, he sought to introduce no new principle. They were going to make a new governing body in corporations, and all he asked was that they should not do away with the qualification which was usually required of every member of such body. But they were going to do more than confer the mere patronage of watching . and paving and lighting. Some of the corporations under this bill would have considerable pa tronage in other respects. They were to be in some cases com missioners of charities, and these were reasons why they should have some qualification as to property. The bill would give greater powers to magistrates in some corporations, and, lie would ask, was it right that they should have less qualifications than mere now given to those who had much smaller powers to exercise? Another reason for the necessity of a qualifica tion was, that a party was liable to a fine for refusing to serve as a member of the governing body. A blank was at pi esent left in the bill for the amount of the fine, so that he could not say what its amount was intended to be; but if a man were to be fined for refusing to accept an office, he ought to be selected from that class which could pay the fine, otherwise it would be gross injustice. But what fine could be imposed on a man with respect to whom property was no qualification? lie would not say that the possession of propetty necessarily implied respec tafility, but it was at least some . guarantee, in the party ap pointed to office, for his conduct in the discharge of its duties. It was required of a magistrate that he should have at least MOO a year in the county ,n which he exercised his functions, but the mayor of any of the corporations under this bill would .he a magistrate of the county in a hich it Was situated. Would it not in , that case be necessary that he should have some qua lifieation ? Was it consistent with the principle laid down on the opposite side, that there should be no qualification for the mayor of a borough, who, being the returning officer for that borough, was liable to a fine or£soo for any neglect cif dirty as such returning officer. Surely it was absurd to say that a man who might be so fined for neglect of duty should have no quali fication as to property. Let him add, that a man was by this bill disqualified by bankruptcy or insolvency, yet both might be consistent with strict integrity; but if property was not to he . a qnalification, why should bankruptcy or insolvency disqualify ? When he spoke of property as a qualification, he felt that it would not be proper to attach a very high qualification to the members of the governing body. In this respect be thought there ought to be some distinction between towns . . The bill related to towns, some of which were extensive and prosperous, and others were small and comparatively poor. Now, it would not be fair to have the same test of qualification in these two classes of towns. - lie had looked to the cases of most of the towns, and he had adopted a lower qualification than that which was usually adopted, and in making it he had distinguished be tween the ton classes of towns recognised by the bill—he meant those which were divided into wards, and those which were not so divided; and as he had mentioned wards, he hoped that the principle of dividing towns into wards would be more general than it was at present in this bill. He thought that that princi ple out to be extended much beyond what it was at present. He trusted, also, that the committee would go with him in thinking that it would be right not to adopt a single qualifica tion for all towns,. but they would consent to distinguish be tween the greater and the smaller towns. In the Birmingham bill die qualification for the governing body was £lOOO real or personal property. He thought he could suggest a better mode of fixing the qualification. It would, in his opinion, be better to make it consist of joint qualifications; for manv tradesmen might find it difficult to swear that they had realised £lOOO. lie would therefore propose that, in towns which were divided into wards, the qualification for the members of the governing body should be, that they were possessed of an estate, real or personal, of the clear value - of £lOOO, or that they should be rated to the relief of the poor on a sum of not less than £4O a year.. In towns not divided into wards, the qualification should be, that the town councillor should be possessed of at least £5OO in real or personal estate, or be rated to the poor-rate on a sum of not less than £2O a yeas. Those who thought with him that there ought to be a qualification, might differ as to the amount which he had mentioned, but he could not think that he had stated it too low. There were vaiimis tests in several local I acts, and he had taken' the lowest. What he had stated was lower on the average than the majority of the cases in which local acts had been passed. The right hon. baronet concluded by moving as an amendment, that after the word "council" in the clause, the following words should be added—" provided such members of council who shall be elected in boroughs divided into wards shall at the time of their election be seized ' or possessed of real or personal property of the clear value of .£lOOO, or that they should be rated on a rental of net less than £4O a year, and also provided that all such members elected in towns not divided-into wards shall at the time of their election be seized . orposaessol'of property, teal or. personal, of the clear value of £5OO, or be rated to the relief Of the poor on a rental of not less thus £2O a year." - Mr. BLABURN opposed the amendment un account Of its tendency to narrow the rights detectors, and becausehethought that the want of a qualification would nut be, practically, of any consequence. He wished to remind the_committee that for the members now returned to that house by the people of Scotland no qualification was required, and yet those members did not vield.to any in that house, fur sagacity, fur intelligence, or for a 'desire to perform their uties faithfully to their constituents. (Hear, hear.) The same Was the case with respect to the. Ma gistrates who under the new system exetcised jurisdiction in the Scotch burghs. ( Hear, hear.) The electors in those burghs were indeed curtailed in one of their privileges, having to pro -vide themselves with a Ell) franchise, but having that franchise, they were free to choose whomsoever they pleased. ( Hear, hear.) If then a precedent were wanted tti justify them in 'adopting this clause without amendment,-they had a precedent for it in the absence of all qualification for the persons elected to repre sent Scotland in parliament, and to exercise jurisdiction in as municipal burghs. (Hear, hear.) Lord SasivoN declared his intention to support the amend ment. The qualification which his right hon. friend proposed was a moderate one, and being moderate, the proposition for enforcing it would meet, he had uo dosibt, the general approlia— tion of the country. Sir .1. HOBIIOUSE contended that the clause as it stood in the bill was most congenial to its general principles. (Hear, hear.) In his opinion, all persons who were concerned in borough go vernment ought to have the free choice of the borough magis trates, who were to have the controul of the hotough funds. Mr. GOULBURN supported the amendment: Mr. EWART spoke in favour of the clause, deprecating any qualification either for the magistrates of boroughs ur members of parliament. Mr. BA RING instanced the case of Portsmouth, where, he said, in some districtsof that town a sufficient number of persons occupying houses of the required value were nut to be found. • Sir 11. PEEL, remiaded Mr. Baring that he had proposed a qualification independent of household occupation. Did the hon. member mean to say that the/re were only 58 persons in Portsmouth worth VOW each. • Mr. BARING.—Of course I do not mean to say any such thiug. Lord Jo UN RUSSELL admitted that parliament had required a property qualification in all the cases the right hon. baronet had referred to—but having granted that—he was not ready to grant that they were now bound to follow the course which par liament had formerly chalked out for them. No pecuniary qualification was . required for a common councilman of the city of London. • In his opinion both reason and principle were in favour of an unrestricted choice, by the burgesses, of persons in whom they think they. can most justly confide. Sir R. PEEL said he wished to show in the'ishservritions he had offered to the committee that in proposing a qualification he was sustained by a stream of authorities arising on the part of those interested in the good government of towns. One of his great authorities on this point was the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) himself. (Hear, hear.) When he heard the noble lord censure these who were not disposed to place implicit con fidence in the municipal bodies, he looked to an act immor talized by its connexion with the noble lord's name, and which was denominated "An act for the better regulation of theuuited parishes of St. Giles-in-the-Fields and St. George, Bloomsbury." Did the noble lord trust to the good sense and discrimination of the electors in the choice of the governing body in this case ? The act provided that one-half at least of the body in each of the united parishes should at the time of their election, and during the period of their acting, be resident householders, rated to the relief of the poor of the joint parishes on an annual as sessment or valuation of—what did the committee think ? Not less than £75. (Loud cheering and laughter.) By the same act no rate-payer was entitled to vote unless rated to the amount of £3O a-year. An hon. gentleman proposed that the rating of voters should be £l5, but the noble lord oliposed and divided • against the proposition, which was lost. Ihe noble loid• said on that occasion, that though he thought £3O too high a qualiti— cation, he considered £l5 too low. Nota doubt seas entertained as to the propriety of the qualification of the governing body,. but there were four divisions on the subject of the elective body. Thus it appeared that when this act was passed, the noble lord, who now reposed the utmost confidence in the discrimination of the elective body, had great doubts as to electors choosing the persons best qualified fur the due administration of theiraffairs. (" Hear, hear," and continued laughter.) Mr. P. TnomsoN rose to address the house, but was obliged to sit down without obtaining. a hearing !—(Titries.) The house then divided— Ayes Noes 267 .... 204 Majority against the amendment 63 On the 22d clause, appointing the period for electing coun cillors, being proposed, Lord STANLEY moved as an amendment, that the word " succeeding" be struck out, and the word "alternate be put in its place ; that is, that the clause he altered so us to declare that one-third part of the council should go out of office every second year, instead of every )ear, as was proposed in the bill; This amendment was lost one division, when there appeared, Ayes Noes Majority against the amendment.... 4 , 1 The clause was then agreed to, and the chairman reported progress, and asked leave to sit again. BEER ACT. Mr. A. TREVOR, we believe, obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend certain parts of this act. CLANDRSTINE MARRIAGES. Mr. JACKSON obtained leave to bring in a bill• to amend an act of the parliament of Ireland, made in the 9th year of his late Majesty King George 11., for more effectually preventing clandestine marriages. WASON presented a petition from Great Yarmouth re specting the alleged payment of money to voters there since the election. After ti few words front Mr. Pit xEn respecting the signatures to the former petition, many of which he declared to be fictitious, the petitioa was laid on the table. The other orders of the day were disposed.of, and the house adjourned at one o'clock. • HOUSE OF LORDS.—WEtroisDAY. Lord Deriman took his seat at live o'clock. • A considerable number of private bills were passed a stage, and several petitions were received, none of which were of pub lic interest. Their lordships then adjourned till Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDESDA T. The Speaker took the chair at half-past three o'clock- THE MEDWAY NAVIGATION. Mr. EmiINSTONE moved that the committee upon the Med way navigation bill should be revived. The parties were for nearly four years before parliament at an immense expense. The committee to whom the matter was referred had pleased, however, to adjourn sine die, without agreeing to any report. Sir E. KNATCHBUnt,, at considerable length, opposed the mo tion • and after some observations , in which Mr. Hodges, Mr. Warburton, Mr. Herries, Mr. Hume, Mr. O'Connell, Captain Pechell, and several other members, took part. Mr. ELPHINSTONE said he was willing to modify his motion, and restrict it to extending the time for the committee to make their report until the' 20th of July. It was, however, at the suggestion of Sir E. Knatchbull, eventually agreed that the debate should be adjourned until to-morrow. A number of private bills were- then passed a stage. Mr. O'CoNN sl.t. presented sever petitions, one f7oin Dublin, complaining that in consequence a all government printing being done in this country that class of the community were greatly distressed. Mr. Hum: as chairman of the printing committee said, they had already received evidence proving that the printing could be done in Dublin as cheap as in London, and consequently all that. could conveniently would in future be executed there. The hon. and learned member also presented several other petitions mostly on private subjects, among which was one from Dublin ' praying that corporation reform might be extended to Ireland. A very long and most unconnected conversation ensued, in which Mr. Shaw positively denied the a s sertion of Mr. O'Con nell, that his father, Sir It. Shaw, was not c.n the grand j ur y to which several bills for bribery and corruption were presented and ignored. Mr. O'Cosm.y.m. again repeated his statement. The report of the discussion, which was rather of a p er sonal nature, we are compelled, from the lateness of the hour, to defer. [Left sitting.] IPSW ICII ELECTION. Mr. JACKSON moved that Mr. Bransby Cooper, he haring signed a certificate as to the state of :dr. O'Malley's health, maw in Newgate, under the Speaker's warrant ; be called to the bar and examined. Mr. Bransby Cooper accordingly appeared at the bar, and stated he had visited Mr. O'Malley professionally, yesterday, and found him in a very ill state of health. Did not prescribe for him, because be was in that state of general debility that physic would-do him no good. Mr. Cooper was cross-exanalued by several members. Mr. SPRING RICE suggested that further evidence was neces sary, which Mr. Jackson said should he produced. DISCLIARGE..OI , DOND, COOKE, AND CLAMP. m Lord J. RUSSELL oved that John Bond, A rthur Boit Cooke, and Robert Beauchamp Clamp, be called to thebar, reprimanded, and discharged. The prisoners were then called in, and afteg they bad ap peared at the bar, THE IRISH COURT. Verily the affairs of his Holiness the Pope are progres sing in Ireland. Look but at the list of the attendants at the last levee of his excellency t!►e Lord-Lieutenant, and see what a picture it. presents. Time was that a Lord- Lieutenant was regarded as the protestant representative of a protestant king, and his court was the resort of the rank and respectability of the land. Now, however, in stead of the nobility and gentry whom the splendours of viceregal sway used to attract to the metropolis, we find the gates of the castle besieged—its (loots literally dark ened by the patrons of popery—the pious promulgator* of the doctrines of Dominus Dens!

Had the intelligence of the death of ZUMALACARRRUITY been received through the ordinary channels there wouhi have been no suspicion excited reladve to its authenti city, but coming as it did by the medium of the French telegraph there was every reason for doubting its truth. The telegraph has been so frequently used by the mini sters of Louts PnitavrE, and ;)y the citizen king himself, 'for jobbing purposes , in that sink of iniquity theßourse, that we have for some considerable time experienced the advantage of believing exactly the converse of ail its com munications. But in this instance it has proved right, perhaps by mistake, and the brave ZUMALACARREGUY, we fear, is dead. The loss of such a man must be severely felt by Don CARLOS ; but on the supposition that the fatal event has taken place it is singular to remark that the value of Spanish stock, instead of rising, has actually fallen. How is this to be accounted for ? If ZUMALACARREOLTY bad been the only general of distinction among the Carlists,. his loss would have been exceedingly disastrous, if not fatal to their enterprise, and Spanish bonds would have risen accordingly. But as no - rise has followed, we mast either conclude that ZCMALACARREGUY still lives, or . that Don CARLOS is too powerful to be successfully resisted by the Queen's troops. In the mean time the heroes of the Isle of Dogs have but a gloomy prospect before them.. It is true that men who are desperate fear nothing. Those who prefer death to working on the road, or enduring starvation in.the workhouse, under the provisions of the new poor law bill, will, of course, care but little for the manifestoes or crees of the King of Spain. Besides, they -have not yet departed fur the field of ‘var, anol who knows what chance may turn up before the end of autumn ? At any rate it is but right that they should know the worst of it. On the.2oth June Don CARLOS published the following decree. It is dated from the palace of Du- rango : " ROYAL DECREE. " Having received information that the revolutionary usurp ing government, not being further able to fill up its ranks with. fresh Spanish victims, has ordered its agents in France, Eng- . land, and Brussels, to recruit foreigners for that purpose, " I order and decree as follows : " Article 1. All strangers, without distinction of rank or grade, who shall take up arms against my legitimate rights, or who shall serve, by any means Whatsoever, the rebel army of the usurpation, shall be deprived of the benefits of existing lass. nor shall they be considered as included in the convention for the exchange of prisoners,' signed by my authority by my com mander-in-chief, at Asarta, on the 28th of April last. "Article '2. All strangers, above noticed; who shall fall into our hands, shall, after time being given them to perform their re ligious duties, be instantly shot." Enatantly,shot I Don CAIZI.OS need not concern, him self about tile performance of their religious duties; the ceremony would - be imposing enough without that. In stantly shot ! Terrible, but just . • It will be recollected that previous to the intervention of Lord ELIOT in April last, the most wanton cruelties were perpetrated by the combatants on both sides. The sanguinary and cowardly MINA began the work of exter mination by massacring in cold blood all th#! Carlists who fell into his hands. As he never ventured to meet ZI7IIA LACARREGUY his was only the murderer's work. He pil laged and shot all persons suspected of being favourable to Don C4atos. In fact, he made alleged suspicion the pretext for robbing the innocent and committing the worst of crimes. These enormities, perpetrated by the cowardly patriet, naturally enough led to acts of retaliation on the opposite side. In this state of things the Duke of WELusGrorg, from motives of benevolence, interfered. The noble duke instructed his representatives to 'act with strict impar tiality, and to exact the same terms from both. Lord ELIOT succeeded in his mission ; MtNA was recalled ; the .murders ceased ; and the captives taken, instead of being shot as rebels, were treated as prisoners of war, and were to enjoy the privilege of exchange. But from these privileges Don CARLOS exempts Ole heroes of the Isle of Dogs, in case they should ever set foot upon the Spanish territory. They will, therefore, not be treated as prisoners of war ; ther-a►ill be ixstantly shot—shot ns dogs. The curious facts which have .transpired in evidence before. the select committee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the validity of the return of Mr. O'DwvEa for Drogheda furnish a clue, and an Irish One to boot, to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S disapproval of a qualification clause in the corporation reform bill. It is well known that O'DwYta presented a fictitious qualifi cation, which the committee rejected, and he was conse ()trendy unseated; which lamentable event we, as in duty bound, wept over in our last. . The truth is beginning •to shine - nut. Lord forrs RUSSELL knows quite as well as we (16 that there aro at least fifty members in the present House of Commons • who arenor one whit better qualifiedtban Mr. O'Dtrs.r.= —men who sit by means of sham propertv--whose free ' hulas consist of caitlei in :the-a4r—Whosetteteittled in come is founded in falsehooi and fraud, and who have no more right to a seat in the House of Commons than an Irish pauper going home upon a parish pasthas a right to a seat in the direction of the Bank of England; These men have sworn that they have a clear income derived from land of so many hurn!reds a year, well knowing that they have averred or sworn what is untrue. The way la which this O'DWYER attempted to qualify himself is highly instructive, although exceedingly repulsive; still. we hive, for the first of these reasons, inserted a portion • of the evidence below. It is but right that the people of • England generally, and the religious and conscientious portion of the electors iu particular, should know some thing of the nature of the collusive bargains and bare faced frauds which are entered into and committed in or der to secure the admiision of certain patriots into .the House of Commons. Exposure will do good. , There in is always something about the exterior andsiweri f a swindler which sooner or later leads to. his,xletection.: It is hardly possible that a member of the swell mob could pass for a gentleman anionizst gentlemen.. 'The 'Actor peeps out—the aectation betrays—the thief' is written in his eye. So it will he with the patriots of the House of Commons when their rags, their tricks, and their frauds are fully exposed to public view, and JouN 13171.1. • is again restored to his senses. Knowing this, and fearing this. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has sufficient craft and cunning not only to anticipate but also to endeavour to avert the consequences. The ques-: tion is, will he succeed ? He refuses to admit any vs , lification clause into his 'corporation bill. Is it possible to speak of this without thinking of Mr, O'DWYER, the rejected,—we had almost said the convicted joint of ale twit ? It is policy, no doubt, on the part of this crafty hurdling, to favour his particular friends to the utmost ex tent of his power. He knows that were a property - Vs" lification required few of his supporters vibuld be eligi hie as common councilmen ; and he moreover dread& a t " tent ion being now roused to the frauds ec'tirinsitted btv c`7l'.
