tituents ? ("Hear," and a laugh.) What evidence we. there
to show that the metropolis was w roe than any other part
of the country ? But there wee this in London: there the
workieg man had to toil six days in the week loom six in
the morning till late at night, and had no time to purchase
the articles of necessity required by himeelf and family till
the Sunday morning. It was not by act of parliament, but
by example, that order, decency, and morality were to be en-
forced in reference to the observance of the sabbath.
(Hear, hear.) If any remedy were necessary,
let it be
general, and in that case it was the duty of govesnment to
take up the matter. He should oppose the bill-
Sir G. GREY observed that a careful couideratfon of the
bill had only tended to convince hint of the difficilltreif not
impossibility, of carrying out the bon. gentleman's (deject by
legislation. The observanee of the sabbath would, in his
oith(on, be better promoted by the growing moral and reli-
es feeling of the people than by any legislative interference.
e entirely concurred in the necessity of setting apart one
day of the week as a day of repose; and he would promote
as far as in his power the due observence of the sabbath as
a day of rest and repose for all classes of the people ; but the
ban. gentleman's bill did not profess to have that object, but
was altogether directed against Sunday trading, and to many
of the details of it he (Sir G. Grey) had considerationgreeted objec-
tion, although unwilling to oppose it in of the
report of the committee. But, looking to the difaculties
with which the qeestion was surrounded, and to the repeated
failures of attempt at

me hear)---he must say
that he thoueht the ir time might be better spent than in
adding to those attempts by going on with this bill—(hear,
hear)—and his earnest advice to th n. member was not
to prow it in the present session. (Loud cries of " hear.")
Sir E. BUXTON cordially supported the bill. and justified
himself in doing so by referring to Spitaltields and other
neighbourhoods, where, he said, Sunday trading was carried
on to a most scandalous extent. Last Sunday there were in
the New-cut. Lambeth, 216 shops out of 386 open, and a
still larger proportion open in the New-walk.
Mr. C. BERKELEY quoted the evidence of the commit-
tee
to show that the brewery of Ilanbury, Buxton, and Co.,'
in Spitalfields, was constantly at work on Sundaes
(Laughta.) Indeed, he believed it was the common practice
of such mitablishmente to be at work on that day. He must,
therefore, denounce this measure, which overlooked those
and other like establishments, altogether as a piece of class
legislation. (Hear, hear.)
Sir E BUXTON, in explanation, said that no work we.
carried on in the establishment with which he was connected
in Spitalfielde that was not absolutely necessf
ary. (I 3 rOO men
onical
cheers and laughter.) Very few, indeed, o the
employed in it were required to remain on SuHend, and the
work done by those few was indispensable. (ar,ay hear.)
Mr. BROTHERTON said he had had no hand in pre-
paring this bill, aehough his name was on the back of it.
He, however, fully concurred in the principle of it, and
maintained that ni class in the community were so deeply
interested in the suppression of Sun lay trading, which he
regretted to say had increased to an enormous extent inHe was
this
metropolii, as the working classes. (Hear, hear.)
not of opinion, with some hon. members, that there was no
difference between right and wrong. He felt, on the con-
trary, that Sunday trading was like a n opening in the foun-
dation of a building which threatened the edifice with
destruction, or a drop of water in the bank, likely to lead
eventually to an inundation. (Cheers.) Admit Sunday
trading and they bras e down the barrier of religion, and
threatened destruction to the social edifice. Chen would
step in the politital economist, and insist upon the working
classes being occupied seven dap a week, instead of setting
spar: one for repose and religious duty. (Cheers from the
conservative ride of the house.)
Mr. SPOONEK supported the bill, fully concurring in
all that had just fallen from the hen. member for Salford.
But for the better scouring the eventual success of the mea-
sure he now advised its withdrawaL
Lord D. STUART asked the hon. member for Ashton, if
be would not withdraw the bill, whether he would censent
to go into committee pro forma, and postpone the discussion
of the details to a future day
Mr. !LINDLEY had no objection to that course, but the
house would not unction it; and called far a division.
Mr. el teNTZ declared his determination to vote against
this or any other measure that did not begin with the better
instead of the working closes. (Hear, hear.)
The house divided—For going into committee 75
Against it
d
Mr. lIINDLEY said dist he woul only s
ak the house
to go into committee pro forma now, in ordes to have the
bill reprinted.
Mr. V. SMITH thought it absurd to go into committee
on a bill which it would be impossible to pass this session.
Mr. E. ELLICE was of the name opinion.
Sir G. GREY hoped there would be no further time lost ;
but, as the hon. gentlemen bad thought right to divide the
house, they would allow the bill to be committed pro fusser,
as it was evident the hon. gentleman would then withdraw
it for the station.
After a short conversation, in which r. B. W
SLANEY, Mr. Foneee, and Mr. FE M
EWEN took part, ALL, Mr.
Mr. HINDLEY consented to take the committee pro
forma, and aatd he would st ate on Monday whether or not
he would proceed with the bill this session. He had wider-
taken the bill at the request of other parties, and must con-
sult them before he abandoned it.
The bill then went into committee pro f orma, and the
house having resumed the chairman reported progress and
asked leave to sit again to-morrow (this day).
Mr. C. BERKELEY moved an amendment that the
committee sit again on that day six months.
Mr. V. SMITH support, d the amendment, and called
open the hon. member fcr Ashton in the name of commonpossible
chance of passing in the present session.
Mr. GLADSTONE hoped the amendment would not be
pressed, but that the hon. member for Ashton might be per-
mitted to introduce his amendments in committee to-morrow,
and reprint the bill.
After a few words from Mr. IlrenLev &Petite. B. WALL
th
ittee e amendment was wehdrawn, and leave given to the com-
m again on Friday next.
QUALIFICATION OF MEMBERS BILL.
Mr. MOFFATT, in moving the second reading of this bill,
said its object was to remove one of the few remaining privi-
leges which belonged to members of this house. One of the
standing orders secured to members freedom from arrest, and
it WAS patent and notorious that in many instances that pri-
vilege had been abused. This bill would not be
operative against those bon. members who complied
with the rules and regulations of the standing orders, and i
with the act of parliament enforcing those orders in respect
to qualification. By this bill he merely Bought—without
any inquisitorial prying into the private attain of members—
to put insolvents in the same position as that which excluded
bankrupts from holding and retaining scats in that house.
The bill had no reference to simple contract debts, but to
judgments obtained in the superior courts, which showed
that the party was really and truly indebted. In that
to d case
the bill empowered the creditor to petition the house e-
clare the member who was unable or unwilling to discharge
the debt disqualified from sitting. If the member s i peti-
tioned against denied the alleganons of the petition, the bill
then provided that the petition should be referred to a com-
mittee, to decide whether any sufficient cause for the non-
payment of the debt could be proved, and on that decision,
made by report to the house, the member would either be dis-
qualified or retain his seat. In case the creditor petitioning
failed in making out his case the committee would be em-
powend to mulct him in the costs of the proceedings. It was
notorious that many men had ootained seats in parliament
in order to evade the paymeet of their debts, gni to preserve
by fictitious hills oh sale their property, and hence the house
was regarded by the public as a refuge for those who would
not or could not discharge their liabilities. This bill sought
to get rid of this taint upon the character of the house, and
he hope t the house would not seek to retain a privilege
against which so many petitions had been presented, and
amongst them one from the Coreoration of the City of Lon-
don, presented the other day by the sheriffs at the bar. It
bad been suggested to him that the bill was imperfect, be-
cause it did not deal with the privileges of the members
of the House of Peers; but he gave great weight to what
had fallen from the right hon. baronet the member
for Tamworth, in 1831 ; when speaking upon a
similar measure to the present, introduced by the
late Lord Ashburton, then Mr. A. Baring, the
right hon. baronet said that he had looked carefully through
all the cues 'f privilege, and had found that in every case
where the Commons had conceded their privileges, the con-
cession had been immeeietely imitated and adopted by the
House of Peers. So he belie, [1 it would be if he succeeded
in passing this bill, whie'l he moved should now be read a
second time.
Mr. NEW DEG ATE said it seemed to him that this bill
was a very solvent measure, but a very stringent dose. He
objected to the machinery of the bill, which let the com-
mittee to whom such a petition as that suggested might be
referred no option ; aid there being no appeal, it would
expose every member against whom a judgment, however
small, had been obtened, to the captious objections perhaps of
political opponents, by whose movements se might bu de-
clared to be disqualified from sitting. He further objected
decide committee being constituted a judicial tribunal, to
questions of law for which they were not qualified
or competent, anal he trusted the house would not, at this
period of the session, waste its time in the discussion of the
abstract principles of a crude proposal which it would be im-
possible to carry_ out.
Sir G. GREY said he had carefully perused the bill, and
had submitted it to a legal gentleman, who had the gravest
objections, in which he (Sir G. Grey) concurred, to the
machinery which this bill proposed to set in motion. (Hear,
hear.) lie, however, should regret that the house should
pronounce a decision against the principle of the measure,
and looking at the period of the session he advised the hon.
nnmber (Mr. Moffatt) to withdraw it, and not to press its
second reading. (Hear.)
Mr. HUME thought the house ought at once to affirm the
principle of the bill, and leave its details to future consider-
ation.
Sir W. IIEATHCOTE raid that while he was of opinion
that the house ought to endeavour to put an end to the re-
proach which the existence of the privilege in question had
entailed upon the character of the house, he thought it was
due to that character that the principle of the measure
should at once be recognised.
After a few observations from Mr. F. MACKENZIE, Mr.
FORCES, Mr. BEILNAL, and Mr. EWAILT,
Mr. MOFFATT said he had done his ding in submitting
the measure to the consideration of the house, but, after
what had been stated from both sides, he ecould withdraw
the bill, giving notice that early next session he would re-
introduce it in a.n amended form. (Hear, hear.)
The motion for the second reading was then by leave
withdrawn, and the order of the day discharged.
TITHE, RENT CHARGE, &c. (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. G. A. HAMILTON obtained leave to withdraw this
bill, which stood for a second reading, and to introduce an
amended bill.

Mr. F. WAVLE said tht aserare had already been

fact, be to defeat the bill for the ptesia essisa.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that he knew mmay_lon. member'

the house, under the impression that stasaiss eo low on the
paper, it would not come ou to-day. The disussion would not
occupy more than an hour, and it might be taken some even-
ing after 12 o'clock, after the government business had been
gone through:
Mr. BOUVERIB (after a desultory eonversation)
seated to postpone his motion and let the report on the bill
stand as an order of the day for Friday next.

time the 'modes power of the republic has abstained from
denial of the imputations of savage nightly executions taking
place in rannanoe of secret judgments. The executive power
has relied on the good sense of the public. Whatever may be
the apprehension of ab
lation, whatever the disposition
of one part of the popu to adopt the strangest sup-
poeitions, the executive power persists in thinking that it
umbels to defend itself against similar accusations, it is
' only astonished that they should have been made, and points
out to the indignation of good citizens those who make use
of public and private sufferings for their own ends.
Stores of ammunition continuo to be seized from

The assassinations committed in open day, which I
have lately signalised, continue to prevail.
An individual, clothed in the uniform of the Na-
tional Guard, a corporal of the 12th Legion, being
seized on a barricade by the Garde Mobile, was about
to be shot, when he saw M. Gairard, head-master of the
College St. Barba. Addressing M. Gairard, he entreated
his intercession, who immediately joined his prayers
to those of the man, but to no purpose, since, es he

ITALY.—Advices from Goito of the lit inst. say I
that Austrian envoys have proposed to Charles I
!11)2.A the surrenders on the 7.1. oz that power, of
Lombardy west of the Adige, including the fortresses
of Mantua and Verona, retaining the Venetian pro-
vinces under the sovereignty of an Austrian prince.
This proposition was declined.
Advicea from Florence of the 5-11 say that the
people demanded of the government the recognition
of the Sicilian government.
Lotters from Rome of the 2nd say that Mamiani,
the Minister of the Interior, had published a circular
to the following effect : " The times are becoming very
critical, and in more than one part of Italy germs of
dissension appear; but if the duty of assisting the
public cause speaks loudly in the hearts of all respect-
able men, the fear of factions is of little import—
stimulate the courage and good dispositions of
the well disposed, and inculcate in their minds
those wise, soued, and truly national doctrines which
have hitherto presided over our regeneration. Italy
' should herself do all that is necessary to attain indc-
' pendence, the first condition of this is concord and
• confidence between the citizens and the nations. Such
should be the ultimate end of our sacrifices. In pre-
sence of Austria, which continues to menace us, he
must be a bad citizen who seeks to sow dissension.
Let these sentiments, which are professed by the im-
mense majority of Italians, be constantly present to
the mind."

GERMANY.
RATIFICATION OF TILE ARMISTICE BE-
'fWEEN I)ENNIARK AND GERMANY.
PRUSSIA.—We have received the Berlin journals
of the 10th. Our correspondent writes :
COLOGNE, Jetv 11.
A truce for three months between Prussia and Denmark
has been, at last, agreed upon, on the following conditions :
—The two duchies are to be evacuated, except by the mili-
tary guarding the hospitals, including those in the island of
Aloes. 'the captured vessels are to be restored by Denmark
which is also to repay the value of the cargoes disposed of.
The war-money levied in Jutland by Germany is to be re-
funded. A provisional government will be named in common
for the two duchies (the junction of which is recognised)—
this government to consist of five members, of whom two
will be nominated by either power, and the fifth one by the
other four. In case of any mmunderetanding, the fifth mem-
ber is to be elected by England. No member of the present
provisional government or of the former central one is
eligi-
ble. the questions relating to indemnification for losses in-
curred by the embargo and to the Sound duty are reserved
for the present—no mention being made of them in the arti-
cles of the truce. The necessary instructions for General
Wrangel left Berlin on the evening of the 7th instant. A
Swedish plenipotentiary has arrived in that capital, em-
powered, it is thought, to co operate in the final settlement
of the Danish question, and also to come to arrange-
ments respecting the general line of policy to be
adopted by the Northern states, is the event of the renewed
disturbance of peace. It appears that the Prussian cabinet
has resolved to introduce a bil, shortly into the constituent
assembly of Berlin, having in view the total separation of
church and state, so far at least as administrative forms are
concerned. The present ministry, however, may be die-
solved, before it can bring its plan before the assembly—in
Get, it is already wavering. The catholic party, headed by
the Archbishop of Cologne (one of the deputies for this city),
are in favour of the total separation of church and state, but
are oppo'ed to the separation of educational and ecclesias-
tical affairs. The latter measure, however, would certainly
appear to be a necessary consequence of the former. The
garrison in Berlin is now stronger than it was before the
memorable 18th of March last. More .vcr there are, in that
city, some 24,000 civic guards and the formation of a body of
2,000 "constables" (the Germans have b allowed from us
the none" ..11 well as the rem) is already commenced. Should
the communism of Berlin bring about an enteate d la l'ari-
sienne, it is all but certain that they would experience a fate
similar to that of their prototypes in the French metropolis.
Several persons have been arrested on the charge of rioting
in the neighbourhood of one of the barracks in which the
newly arrived regiments are quartered. The tumultuous
crowds that assembled on the night of the 7th were dis-
persed by the civic guard. It is calculated that
there are some 40,000 men in Prussia, who, on account of
their conviction for crimes or mislemeanors, are legally
deprived of their civic rights, including of c.urse the fran-
chise. On the 9th instant, a pub-ic meeting of parties in-
terested in the repeal of the obnoxious law in question was
held in Berlin, hut the r cult of their deliberations has not
transpired. In several parts of the Magdeburg railway
station the words " beware of pickpockets" are conspicuously
displayed. Such on inscription, methinks, would not be ill-
placed on the locale of, or the neatest 116/13 to, the extraordi-
nary assemblage referred to.
A royal ordonnance has lately appeared in Berlin, exempt-
ing from the payment of the class tax all the members of the
Landwehr and their families, so long ea the former are doing
military duty. The Stoats Atueiger has published the royal
sanction of the law, declaring that all members of the con-
stituent assembly who accept government poem or who are
promoted to higher grades in the state service, shall continue
to sit in that assembly by virtue only of a new election.
Several battalion+ of the civic guard have energetically pro-
tected against the march of fresh troops into Berlin. Con-
eiderable excitement still prevails in the Prussian capital.
The two battalions of the line that entered it in the after-
noon of the 7th were escorted to their quarters by strong
detachments of the civic guard. Dr. Minutoli, the late
popular president of the Berlin police, has left for London.
More Prussian troops have been despatched during the last
few days to Schleswig-Holstein.
Ina Breslau correspondence of the 7th inst., publiehed in
the Cologne Gazette of this day, it is positively wetted that
the organisation of the government of Sib sia is on the eve of
being commenced. The internal administration of affain it
is stated will he placed in the hands cf individuals to be
called " the captains (llauptleule) of the country," who will
stand in the same relation to the Prussian ministry as the
prefects in France with reference to their central govern-
ment. District captains will also be appointed.
AUSTRIA.—The Vienna journals of the 7th have
come to hand. The Archduke John has issued the
following proclamation :
The German national parliament, assembled in Frank-
fort, has elected me Regent of the empire, and has by its
delegates called upon me to assume this honourable distinc-
tion without delay. Austrians, my unalterable sentiments
for our German fatherland are known to you. You know
my ardent desires for its welfare and its honour. These
wishes are, I am persuaded, in unison with your senti-
ments. I have, therefore, considered it my sacred
duty to accept the office which has been confided
to me by your representatives in Frankfurt, and
together with them by all your German brethren.
This high office, supported by the national parliament, and
consolidated by the whole of the German nation, will give
tranquillity to the idea of the union of Germany ; it will be a
fresh guarantee for the liberty and rights of the whole Ger-
man nation, for law and order throughout the German terri-
tory. I, therefore, consider that Ido not violate the duties
of regent, confided to me by the Emperor during his absence.
May I rather consider that I shall be the more able success
fully to carry them out, by accepting both these equally
important and intimately united offices. It is, therefore, my
intention to return to Frankfort with the deputation seat to
me from thence, for the purpose of entering upon the high
office of regent of the empire, and shall return to you as re-
presentative of the Emperor, to open the Diet on the 18th
July.—Given at Vienna, July 8, 1843.—Jousr.
We see from the above proclamation that the Arch-
duke John, with that prompt decision which marks
his character, has resolved to accede to the wishes of
the deputies of the German national parliament, and

to quit Vienna on the Bth for the purpose oofyndfeethxbiehihaiptile:e:ricligthe.

the minister, Weesenburg, who is intimately
versant with the political affairs of Germany. A >l.
delegate will be, meanwhile, appointed to take his
place at Vienna, in order that there may be no delay
or interruption in his department.
The Austrian journals continue to urge the Arch.
duke John to summon a national assembly in Vienna,
composed of the representatives of the various Sets.
vonic races ; in fact, they go so far as to recommend
him to become the founder of a kingdom to be called
the United Suttee of middle Europe. According to
the Frankfurt Oberpostamts Zeitun7, tti6 reCEbt
events in the principalities of the banutie excite
much attention in the Austrian capital. The same
journal states that it has been resolved in a council
of ministers to send 60,000 more Austrian troops to
Italy.
The Leipsiter Zeitung publishes a correspondence
from Prague, under date July 3, communicating the
intelligence that extraordinary measures are still
taken to prevent another outbreak. All natives of the
city not having any apparent means of gaining a
livelihood are drafted into the army int ended for Italy,
whil-t foreigners of that category arc expiled from
Prague.
From Hungary we have news from which it is to
be inferred that the disturbances in Iltyria must ter-
minate either peacefully or otherwise in the course of
a few days. A command has been sent from Pesth
by Field-Marshal Hrabowski Von Peterwazdzeen,
that he should proceed against the rebels with all his
force. He had under hie command 8 battalions et
infantry and 3 regiments of cavalry, in all, 13,000
men, besides a most powerful artillery atd the na-
tional guards, part of whom are in reserve, and the
other ready for marching. Baron Von Lina, the Vienna
banker, had been making an offer to the Austrian
Minister of Finance, Kossuth, in the name of the Aue-

that in the privileges granted to the bank till 1866 he
would abstain from the emission of Hungarian trea-
sury bonds. Kossuth, however, declined this offs,
which rather induced him to hasten the carrying oat
his plan, and the Hungarian treasury bonds are to
be issued in a few days. The royal imperial state
holder, the Archduke Stephen, has already made me

11ANOVER.—During the sitting of the bead
chamber of Hanover on the Bth inst., a ministerial
communication was laid before it, to the effect that
the King had acknowledged the election of the Arc&
duke John, but that his Majesty was determined le
abandon the kingdom if the constituent assembly IR
Frankfort went beyond certain limits. As soon as the
document was read, one of the members requested
that certain portions be read again, as he had not wed
understood them. Herr Struve (who is, if I mistake
not, a member of the cabinet still) declared that it
was positively the King's intention to leave the
country in the event referred to. Another member
called on the assembly to give three cheers for the
Archduke John, but the chamber remained per-
fectly still. Herr Lang expressed his come-
tion that the German parliament was Ger-
many's last hope. He was glad to find
that the Archduke John was acknowlidged by the
King, but the remaining portion of the ministerial
communication had given him (Iferr L) considerable
pain. If the decisions of the Frankfort assembly
were thwarted, he knew not what would be the me
suit. Towards the conclusion of the proceedings
three cheers were first given for the Archduke John,
and then three cheers for the King of Hanover. The
chamber was then prorogued. The first chamber has,
it is said, protested against the election of the mde
duke, on the ground that it was voted by the =tined
assembly alone.
BRUNSWICK.—A constituent assembly will be
convoked in Brunswick so soon as the new law of
elections is voted by the ordinary assembly of the
states, which will be convoked towards the end of •
this month.
HAMBURG.—The commercial deputation in
Hamburg—a deputation nominated by the Tarim
trades in that city—have declared in favour of re-
duced duties on foreign goods, and, with one excep-
tion, is favourable to free ports. It may be stated
here that another commercial deputation which lately
met at Hanover petitioned the government ter a re-
duction of duties on foreign articles—the manatee
tnrers present declaring that they did not fear
English competition. It is clear that the contem-
plated abolition of the English navigation laws will
give a vast impetus to the free trade movement oaths
continent, particularly in Germany, for the mainte-
nance of high protective and differential duties in that
country whilst England is throwing open her ports
to the world, would soon effect the ruin of the

notification from M. Arago, the Poatmaster-Generel of t$

The French steamers for Malta, touching at Geed,
Leghorn, Civita Vecchia, Naples, and Messina, will lease
Marseilles on the 9th, 19th, and 29th of each month, and
arrive in Malta on the sth, 16th, and 25th ; these boats will

By this new arrangement the ante number of commanies.
Liens with the Levant is retained—three tim e a month,
only the dates are altered. Persons in England who for•
merly sent overland by the French steamers must now pet
their letters two days earlier. The line to Al. xandria from
three times a month is now reduced to two, and the regimen
to run at the same hour as the English steamboats from
both ports. I see no reason why an English agent could not
take the mails yid Marseilles on board the Fr..neh steamer,
and thus save the British government the expense of keep
ing up a lino of worthless steamers for no other purpose tea
for the French to laugh at. For instance, the Ardent (ape
the new system) left Alexandria on the morning of the 20th
with the Indian mails. The French steamer, Loupe, left
also for Malta an hour after her, and arrived at five a.m. oaths
morning of the 24th. The Ardent came in on the 25th at
three am. The Longsor beat her 23 hours in a run o
