tho table.

CIWELTY To ANIMALS.
Mr. AL"FTERWOIITII presented a petttient from Don aster,
in favour of the Bill against Cruelty to Anlnials.—Laid on the
table.

SALE OF MACKARELON SUNDAYS.

Mr. BurrEßwoltrn presented • position from certain al
the fishmongers and poulterers of the rides of London and West.
!ram praying that the House would tepee! the law that per-
mitted the sale of mackerel on Sundays. (Loud .augiuer.)
Mr- HCMK thought it strange that such a petition should base
been presented, as it was very easy for t'inee fishmongers who dials:
proved of the prarice, in. whose eortecienees told them it was wrong,
to abstain from the continuance of it, without requiring the inter-
, fevente of Parliament. Be thought that the titatute Bonk was
already suflieieody burdened with penal laws, without soiling any
more to them.

Sir 31. ‘V. RIDLEY' thought that there never bad been a mote
absurd and ridiculous petition proseoted to the House; and he
should move that the names of the persona signing it should be
printed with the petition.
Sir T. BARING supported tFe petition, and aril. that while
the House was voting mo..ey fur the building of churches, it
became them to adopt every osemmre calculated to inesease the
devotion of the frequenters of tie churches.
After a few words hum 51r. Alderman Sierra and BIT. BUT-
TERWOILTII.

Thepet— idea was laid es the table.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.
Mr. Secretary CANNING moved that the House, at its rising,
should adjourn to Menitiy, the 3d of )lay. Ile was aware that it
was not usual to ildjol.ll7l for more than s fortnight ; but as the
enly day of business that Weald be tau by the proposed ar.
rangement would be Friday, 114 Aid sot think that 41 would be womb
while, for the sok° of one day, to adjourn fur a shorter time, espe-
cially as the public business was in that state of forwardness as
abundantly to admit of yielding 40 country Gentlemen tbs.benelit
of a longer ,elsatioo than was antemary.—The motion was then
put and agred to.

The following are the changes among the troops of our r

The head-quarters of the division remain at Madrid, as we'

The Garcia du Corps and the two Swiss battalions, g
Toledo.
The Horse Artillery and the 2:ld of the line, go into g ei•
Valdrmoro: a battalion of the latter will be detached to C.
poanelos.
The Bureaux and the Military Hospital remain at Madrid.
It is said tha• Count Stroud de la Rafbaare will esoe
take the command, Instead of Count Bounnont.
His Majesty has sent the (hand Cross of the Order deka

Both Houses of Parliament ware adjourned last nigh
during the Fatter erects. The Loon.. House, on the MOW
of Mr. Canning, aru adjourned, st itq rising, to the Sd
Slay. The 414ht.Ilonourahle tecraarY stated, he ye'
aware that it was not usual to adjourn the House for more
than a fortnight; but as the only day_of business that
would be lost by the arrangement would be Friday, be
thought the loss of one day would not be of augicipt cot-
sitleration to induce the House to adjourn fat a shorter
period, particularly as the public business am la thst state
of forwardness us to freely yield to country widow"
relaxation of ',owe length. We should rappose the Semiott
will close early in July : all the public estimates hare
already been toted.
_Tice but Session was wasted by the
Irish inquiry, a proceeding attended with no kiari Of good.
There is no public investigation of this deserieion await-
ing the attcation of the House this Session. All is pseiGep
at home and abroad. Both Posses, therefore, it m 47 be
expected, will rise early.

In the late debate on rhe Alien Bill, we are well sniffled
that Mr. Canning exergiek d a sound jail/moot k adverting
