LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 15, 1837.

Ili the House of Lot:
ds last night, after several private as well
as public Bills had been ajva.need a stage, and petitions (prin-
eil,elly relative to the Church.. rates question) presented, their
Lordships adjourned.
In the House of Commons various netitions were presented,
the object of which will be found described in our Parlia-
mentary Report.
The Lords' Amendments to the Licensed Victuallers' As-
surance Bill were agreed to.
Lord PALMEkSTON, in reply to Mr. MACLEAN', stated that
ho was not in a condition to say whether the negotiations
at the Vixen. between the Courts of St. James's and St.
Petersburgh, had terminated.
Sir R. BATESON presented petitions from Ireland again.st
ti. e present system of National Education there, praying that
ell creeds, catechisms, and prayers be suppressed, except the
Lorci's prayer, so that all sects might be united.
(J'n the motion of Mr. LABOCCHERE, the Post-office Ma-
nagectent Bill, the Post-office Acts Repeal Bill, the Post-
office Offences Bill, and the Franking Bill, went through Com-
mittee, ire forma, in order to be printed in their altered form.
A new writ was issued for Lewes in the room of Mr. KEMP.
who has: accepted the Chiltern Hundreds.
Lord .L RUSSELL, in reply to Sir R. PEEL, said that the
Church-metes Bill, which stood for Friday, must be postponed,
as on that day the Irish Poor Laws Bill would come on, in order
;to pprmit 'Sir H. HARDINGE to bring forward his motion relative
te, Spain on Monday, which was the day originally fixed for
in}; the discussion on the Irish Relief Bill.
"The House then, on the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL,
went into Con..mittee on the remaining Resolutions relative to
the affairs of Canada. To the sth Resolution, Mr. ROEBUCK
At pved au pmendvent to the effect that the Legislative Council

be abolished. A long, interesting, and deeply important de-
bate ensued, after which the House divided. The numbers were,
For the Resolution
For the amendment ... 46
Majority
The remaining Resolutions were postponed.

We understand from a correspondent at Rochdale,
that the canvass in favour of Mr. FENTON has proved
so successful that there is not the least doubt of his
being returned for that borough—and that too in the
most triumphant manner. So sensible are the opposite
party of this—so clearly do they see the issue of the
contest—that they are resorting to all manner of paltry
tricks and misrepresentations in order to counteract the
popular current which runs so strong in Mr. FEN-
TON'S favour. Among other things equally true, they
have the face to assert that Mr. FENTON will not go
to the Poll ( 1 ) although they know that a great ma-
jority of the electors have already promised him their
votes. By such unworthy practices the Tories indi-
cate, plainly enough, what they wish, not what they
believe. We would, however, advise our friends the
Reformers of Rochdale, not to relax their exertions
on account of the success which has hitherto attended
them. They must keep a watchful eye upon the mo-
tions of the enemy, who is active, cunning, and per-
severing. It is not to be expected that the Tories will give
in until they have exhausted every means, good, bad,
and indifferent, which they may have at command to
forward the interests of their cause—more especially
since that cause has lately sustained suchsignal damage
at Warwick and other places, and is stated by its most
honest supporters to be, generally, in a very tottering
condition

The portion of the plan developed by Mr. ROEBUCK
in the House of Commons last night, for the better
Government of Lower Canada, merits the serious con-
sideration of his Majesty's Ministers. The Hon. and
Learned Member for Bath proposed, that instead of
the present Legislative Council, which he well de-
scribed as a clique of hungry officials, hated and des-
pised by the community, and unsupported by wealth,
blood, or historical recollections, an Assembly should
be constituted composed of the Attorney and Solicitor-
Generals, with ten Councillors, all chosen by the Go
vernor and only removeable at his pleasure—which As-
sembly should be called the Governor in Council. The
legislative functions of this Council, lie proposed, should
. be confined to the amending of Bills passed by the
House of Assembly, without any power of rejecting
them. 'Where they judged amendments uncalled for,
he proposed-that the Bills should be forwarded to the
I Governor for his assent or veto ; but that having once
amended Bills, and the amendments having been sub-
mitted to the House of Assembly, such Bills should
not again be sent to the Council ; but, by order of the
House of Assembly, transmitted directly to the Governor.
with whom would rest the ultimate responsibility of ac-
cepting or rejecting them. To obtain the consent of the
House of Assembly to a grant of fixed salaries for
the Judges and other functionaries, the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman proposed that a General Assem-
bly of Delegates, chosen by the Houses of Assembly
of Upper and Lower Canada, Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, and Prince Edward's Island, should sit
permanently at Montreal, as a Supreme Court for
the trial of °fres:ices committed by the members of
the Executive Government. The judicial functions of
this Court should lie two-fold--first, those of a Supreme
Criminal Court for the trial of offenders, and offences
not cognizable by the ordinary tribunals : and again,
those of the highest local Court of Appeal, so as to do
away with the practice of perpetually seeking redress
from the exercise of the Royal prerogative in Council.
Were such a Court established, or permission for its
establishment given by the Imperial Government, the
House of Assembly would grant a civil list for
seven or ten years to the Governor, the Judges,
the Attorney, and Sr)licitor-Generals, and the
ten senior Executive Councillors. So far we
find little or nothing to object to in the plan of the
Honourable and Learned Member for Bath—and fur-
ther, he has not developed it. But have the Cana-
dians approved of it ? Would they approve of it were
we to adopt it in their name ? Has the House of As-
sembly pledged itself to abide by any conditions which
Mr. ROEBUCK may think proper to propose to Par-
liament ? These are important questions, and it
does appear, from the speech of Lord JOHN R us-
suds, that if the Honourable and Learned Gentle-
man could answer them in the ailir►native his plan would
meet with the instant attention of the Cabinet. Lord
JOHN RUSSELL candidly admitted that the Legis-
lative Assembly of Lower Canada had not answered
the purposes for which it was instituted—that it was
an abuse which required to be remedied ; but he con-
tended at the same thne, that it would not be dignified,
safe, or honourable for Parliament to accept repre-
sentations made in the name of the House of Assembly,
by which that House might not choose to abide. The
Lords and Commons of England could not be called upon
to legislate on the strength of a representation made
by one Hon. Gentleman, when they had documents
on their table which showed that the House of As-
sembly would act consistently with itself, and in the
spirit of its past declarations, by rejecting the proposi-
tion of the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath.
This is a very reasonable ground for delaying to ap-
prove of Mr. ROEBUCK'S plan; but if so little be
known of the real intentions of the House of As-
sembly, what folly is it to pass the string of Resolutions
which the Noble Lord contends to be necessary for
the pacification of Lower Canada. If the Noble Lord
be not convinced that the Canadians would reject with
indignation the plan of Mr. ROEBUCK, he is guilty
of a most lamentable error as a statesman in calling
upon the Mouse o? Commons to adopt his Resolutions.
A people who would subscribe to the plan of the Hon.
Member for Bath could not be expected to submit
without a struggle to the filtered and refined despotism
included in the Resolutions of the Noble Home Se-
cretary. Lord J. RUSSELL admits that he is doubtful
upon the subject. May we be permitted respectfully
to ask his Lordship why he did not allow the Cana-
dians the benefit of his uncertainty ? And, above
all, why, when hazarding an experiment upon such
a people, his sympathies did not incline him to the
commission of an error on the liberal and safe side ?
We attribute the overwhelming majority ob-
tained by Ministers upon this question las t
night to the absurd speech delivered by Mr.
ROEBUCK, when he rose -a second time
to address the Committee. A more excellent speech
than his opening address we have seldom read ; but on
the occasion of his second appeal to the House he
completely lost his temper, and disgusted his friends
by an exhibition of splenetic vexation, at once silly,
impertinent, and contemptible. He lost many votes
in consequence ; and we are credibly informed
that several members who had intended to leave
the House without voting, upon hearing his ri-
diculously intemperate threat, remained to swell the
Ministerial majority. The most curious part about
this affair is, that towards the close of his first
speech, Mr. ROEBUCK inflicted a long lecture
upon Lord STANLEY on the advantages of a
good temper, and the baneful effects of petulance in
legislative discussions. It was a pity the Hon. Gen-
tleman so soon forgot the Hebrew adage, " Physician,
heal thyself."

In another part of our Paper will be found a pro
test, which has been entered on the Journals of the
House of Lords, against the decision of the House
on the motion of Lord RADNoR for inquiring into
certain abuses existing in the English Universities.

The protest is signed by Lords RADNOR, HOLLAND,
BROUGHAM, HATHERTON, SomERHILL,and DUN-
CANNON, and states in a short compass reasons,
which it will not be easy to refute, for the proposed
investigation.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Thursday have
been received. The Moniteur contains the following
telegraphic despatch :

" BAYONNE, APRIL 11.— General Iribarren is appointed
Viceroy of Navarre and Commandant of the troops in that
province, in the room of General Saarsfield. No movement
on the defensive has yet taken place."
The Cabinet has not yet bee❑ definitely recon-
structed. It is understood, however, that GurzoT
has secured for himself the Presidency of the Council,
and that the political complexion of the Ministry will
be purely Doctrinaire. The following is the list
handed about on Thursday :

M. Guizot—President of the Council and Minister of
Foreign Affairs.
M. de Montalivet—Minister of the Interior.
M. de Remuzat, or M. Lacave Laplagne—Minister
Public Instruction.
M. Persil, or M. Barthe—Keeper of the Seals.
General Berns Tl—War Minister.
M. Duchatel—Minister of Finances.
Admiral Rosamel—Minister of the Navy.

Annexed are extracts from the journals :

This is the third day that we are without the Madrid Jour-
nals. We have not received any Journals of Bayonne to-day.
The Bourdeaux Journals give a letter from St. Sebastian,
according to which nothing is now said of the departure of
the troops, and General Evans is waiting for the orders of the
Count de Luchana, who is more in favour with the Ministry
than ever, and is now the sole arbiter of the approaching cam-
paign. The same letter says that the first Portuguese Bri-
gade under the command of General Las Antes, has arrived
at Vittoria wfth cavalry and artillery.
A Morning Journal publishes the following letter written
from Bayonne on the Bth April :
" The private letters make no mention of any movement
along all the lines. The snow continues to fall as in the
month of December. The Carlists in our city speak myste-
riously of bad news for their cause. It seems that Don
Carlos shows some symptoms of deranged intellect, and it
is feared that he may grow worse. The Generals about Don
Sebastian are quite at variance ; E,guia and Villareal do not
conceal their mutual dislike. The general opinion at Bayonne
is that Espartero will move on the 10th or 11th, but the
weather must first become more favourable."

A fact of a very serious nature is stated in the .Monde this
morning:—" Forty persons condemned for political offences
having obtained from the Papal Government leave to be trans-
ported to Brazil, were embarked on the 16th of this month in
a vessel belonging to the State. The vessel being in want if
unvisions, touched at the island of Cephalonia on the 20th
March, and the Captain allowed the prisoners to laud and pass
the night at an inn in the town. The next morning when
the hour of departure arrived, the prisoners refused to return
on board, and placed themselves under the protection of Eng-
lish hospitality. The Papal Consul then applied to the Go-
vernor of the island, but he answered that England could
not refuse an asylum to persons condemned for political of-
fences, and that he would never allow hospitality to be violated
in the English possessions. He also ordered the Captain to
quit the island in 48 hours. A tempest having hindered him
from sailing in the time fixed, the Governor again ordered the
Captain to quit the port, on pain of having his vessel fired
on by the schooner on the station. The vessel then with-
ew, end the forty individuals are now free."
The Bon Sens publishes the following statements, of which
we of course leave all the responsibility to that journal :
" It was reported to-day on 'Change that the Ministerial
crisis would not terminate till some days hence. It is affirmed
that an illustrious personage, before he makes a choice, waits
for a decision of the English Parliament on a motion of Lord
Palmerston, relative to Spain. The English Ministry is ex-
pected to make a declaration to Parliament of the desire of the
English Cabinet to intervene with energy in the affairs of the
Peninsula. If this motion be favourably received by the Par-
liament, the French Cabinet will be modified so as to har-
monise with this new situation of the English Cabinet ; at all
events, the composition of the Cabinet w ill not be known till
the intentions of England are ascertained. It is affirmed that
the resignation of General Bernard as Minister of War is ac.
cepted, and that he is to have the command of the division
which is under the orders of General Harispe, and which is
stationed as a corps of observation on the frontiers of Spain."

BOURSE, HALF-PAST FOUR.—The best accredited rumour
afloat at the Bourse was, that at a meeting of Count Monta-
livet's friends this forenoon (at his own house), it was agreed
that he could not rely upon being supported by the Chamber
if be joined M. Guizot. It would appear that a matter of
more serious import was discussed—nothing less than the
danger the King would run by continuing to thwart and trifle
with the country.

New York papers to the 9th ult. have been re-
ceived, from which copious extracts will be found in
another part of The Sun. On Monday we shall
offer some remarks on the farewell address of the late
President JAcKsoNT, and the inaugural address of
President Van BUREN.

An accident of a very serious nature occurred in the
mill of Mr. Oram, skinner, of Gainsbro', on Saturday evening
list. A boy between eight and nine years of age, went into
the mill during the time it was at work, and from carelessness
got so near the main horizontal wheel, that the cogs caught his
dress and dragged him round to the driving wheel in which it
worked ; the space between the two being about half an inch.
Through this space the boy's legs were drawn, consequently
suffering a dreadful mutilation.—Doncaster Ga2ette.

Yesterday morning, as two ladies, with a little girl,
were walking in Baker-street, Portman-square, near their resi-
dence, one of them dropped her purse, well filled with gold
and notes, from her reticule. A poor but respectable woman
(vho apparently was the wife of a mechanic) observed it, and
ran over from the opposite side of the road and picked it up,
pursued the ladies, and restored it to the owner. The poor
woman was directly rewarded with ten sovereigns.
CONSPIRACY IN IRELAND.—The Dublin Even-
ing Post of Tuesday last publishes some important communi-
cations connected with Orangeism and secret meetings, ob-
serving that these communications " will serve to confirm,
beyond any doubt or question, the existence of a conspiracy
among the Orangemen of Ireland at this moment, and that
their confederation is not only perfect, but they are well sup-
plied with arms and ammunition."
_ _

So intense was the cold during the nights of Wed-
nesday and Thursday last, that in those parts of the metropolis
having a northern aspect, ice nearly half an inch in thickness
was found in water-butts and other exposed reservoirs. As
yet scarce a sign of leaf or bud is to be seen on the shrubs that
ornament the areas of the squares. This is certainly some-
thing unusual in the middle of that month which is the imme-
diate precursor of the " flowery May."
In the cotton-spinning mill in Aberdeen, one very
remarkable person was lately pointed out to a gentleman, viz.,
Betty Robinson, aged 63, who has been 36 years wheeler in
this mill, and has always worked on the same spot. This
year, the floor on which she has so long stood, was found to
have been worn through and through by her feet, down to the
joist beam. She is at this moment in good health.
M. Leville, formerly Chancellor to the French
Consul at Porto Rico, has been found guilty of forging a
bond for 1,000 piastres of Morocco, or about 40,000 fr., in a
transaction relating to the sale of a gang of negroes belonging
to a sugar plantation, and sentenced to close confinement for
five years, and to stand on the pillory.
The veteran Dick Hill, so well known in the pro-
vincial prize-ring, bade adieu to this world, at Nottingham, on
Friday last. The inward injuries he had received in the va-
rious conflicts in which he had been engaged, added perhaps
to other imprudences and neglect of himself, brought on a pul-
monary complaint, which terminated in his death.
STIRLING, APRIL B.—This day Alexander Mil-
ler, better known by the appellation of " Scatters," suffered
pursuant to his sentence, for the murder of William Jarvie
Westershielyards. On his coming to the platform, contrary
to the usual practice, the executioner put the rope round his
neck, and the cap over his face. This was said to be a pre-
caution ordered by the magistrates, in case he should attempt
to bolt, as he was known to be of running propensities. At
the commencement of the prayer, he, by rubbing the one foot
against the other, was enabled to put off his shoes, which he
kicked from him to a considerable distance. This was done,
it was said, to falsify a prediction made by an old woman on
whom he had been playing
off some cruel sport, " that he
would die with his shoes on yet," (meaning that he would be
hanged). During the prayer, which lasted about four
minutes, be rnanirested the utmost signs of impatience,
moving back and forward, and putting up and taking down
the cap over his eyes. When finished, the clergyman came
forward and shook hands with him ; the handkerchief or
signal was put in his hand, which he immediately throw to a
distance, and pulled the cap over his eyes. This seemed to
take the executioner by surprise, as a little timo elapsed he.
fore the fatal bolt was drawn ; a convulsive shock or two
marked his exit from this world. The crowd, which was the
largest witnessed since the execution of Hardie and Baird,
behaved with the greatest decorum throughout.—G/asgotv
Chronicle.

COURT OF CHANCERY-THIS DAY.

This being the first day of Easter Term, the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR, having to entertain the Judges, Masters in Chancery,
and King's Counsel at breakfast, did not take his seat at
Westminster till shortly before two o'clock. His Lordship
was accompenied by the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chan-
cellor, and Masters Wingfield and Senior. His Lordship
proceeded to hear motions, but no case of interest bad occurred
when our Reporter left.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR did not take his seat till two
o'clock, and was also occupied with motions of no interest.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

This being the first day of Easter Term, the Court was
opened with the usual formalities. The Judges on the Bench
were Lord Denman, Mr. Justice Littledale, Mr. Justice Pat-
teson, and Mr. Justice Coleridge. Mr. Justice Williams will
preside in the Bail Court. The Court was, as usual on such
occasions, extremely crowded.
No motion of any interest came on up to the time of our
going to press.
