Mr. Alderman COPELAND brought up the Report
of the Committees on two Naturalization Bills, and moved
their third reading.
Mr. HUME said as the business of the llcuse was evi-
dently too great and was attracting much atteilt ion, he would
take the opportunity of saying, that, in his opinion, this was
a class of business which might very safely be remel-04
from the jurisdiction of that House. He trusted the
Governn:ent would press the matter before the Committee
which was to be appointed for the purpose of reducing
and circumscribing the waste of time in private business.

EDINBURGH WATER-WORKS BILL

DUBLIN, JUNE 5.
A correspondent of the _Ficentais's Journal thus con-
cludes his account of the progresS ^f the tithe victim Ty-
quin to that borne whence no travellet returns. Incar-
cerated in a Dublin dungeon for the paltry sum of 325. Bd.,
Tyquin has been sacrificed to an odious and unholy system
of clerical rapacity Within a few miles of Uarylwoogh
the crowds were persuaded to retire. Before arriving in
Maryborough a countryman from the neighbourhood of
Shinrone met us ; he appeared sorely affected and sadly
tired ; he informed us that the country was alive from
Mountrath forward, and that the lamentable tidings of
Mr. l'yquin's decease had only reached his disconsolate
family the evening preceding. Driving through Mountrath
I observed the country people loitering obout—the moment
the black plumes caught their atteneion an instant stir
was apparent. Gracious Heaven ! how shall I describe
the scene ? Even while I ' write, the piercing despair-
ing shriek that burst from the widow of Tyquin rings in
my ears ; I can scarce trust myself to express my feelings ;
Tyquin's children clung around the hearse and sobbed
as if their little hearts would burst. The mother of seven
fatherless children prayed, but wept for. Her four young
daughters and three sons, the eldest a lad of about 17 years
of age, got on the hearse and flung himself on the roof.
The mother prayed for him, for her spirit was broken and
her hopes were blighted ; two very handsome fine little
boys, seven and nine years of age, wept most bitterly.
The youngest poor little fellow employed himself scraping
out from the placard the name of the Clergyman, at whose
suit his father was thrown into prison ; four young girls
were rending the air with screams. It was really heart-
rending to witness the lamentations and woe. The excited
bearing of the people was appalling, but, owing to the ac-
tive exertions of the Rev. Mr. Nowlan, P.P., Rev. Mr.
Conroy, C.C., D. Egan, Esq., and other gentlemen, the
ferment was promptly allayed, and the people retired,
leaving the afflicted family to mourn over their griefs un-
observed, save by the charitable and humane ladies of the
nunnery, who afforded them every consolation they were
capable of receiving, and at near ten o'clock at night in-
duced them to take shelter in the Convent for the night.
Prayers were offered up all night, and everything done to
alleviate the pangs of intense misery under which the de-
stitute family suffered. Such a scene I never witnessed."

Ma. CItYBBACE.—The clergyman who was recently ar-
rested on a charge of high treason, which had no founda-
tion whatever, has been liberated from the Derry jail, having
entered into the usual recognisanecs to keep the peace.
THE DUBLIN SOCIETY.—At the eleventh hour the
Dublin Society has stepped forth in defence of its motives,
by passing the following resolution :—" That the Society
have perceived, with deep regret, observations in certain
Dublin newspapers, relative to their proceedings touching a
late Report of the Select Committee, and the affairs of the
Society generally ; and ascribing to the Society sentient nts
and motives utterly repugnant to their f,:elings, any misre-
presentation respecting which roust prove most detrimental
to the character and best interests of the Society." In

dealing with the body, we have had little to do with its
motives. Its acts and its comparative inutility left us small
occasion to speculate upon its hidden d;spositions. The
Mail, however, may make the best apology it can to the
injured feelings of its friends, whose motives it set forward
in a shape as little creditable as questionable. We arc almost
sanguine enough to hope that stern necessity will mend
their manners, and that they will finally assent to the rea-
sonable proposal of the Treasury, giving the public a secu-
tity for the money placed at their disposal.—Pilut.

Tite BLACK RATS.—The Mail announces that a meet-
ing of the clergy of the dioceses of Dublin and Glendalogh
is to be held in the Chapter-room of St. Patrick's Cathe-
dral, on Thursday next, the Bth of June, at one o'clock, to
take into consideration the propriety of petitioning both
Houses of Parliament on the subject of a Bill now pend-
ing before them, entitled " a Bill for the better regulation
of ecclesiastical revenues, and the promotion of religion
and moral instructio❑ in Ireland."

MYsTEatous DEATIL-Yesterday, between eleven and
twelve o'clock, as Mr. Faulker, of Blacquiere-bridge, was
walking along the right bank of the Royal Canal, followed
by his dog, on approaching the seventh lock the animal
made a stop, and his manner attracting his master's atten-
tion, he looked, and observed the body of a female in the
water. Mr. F. immediately proceeded to the lock-keeper,
and the latter accompanied him to the spot, provided with a
drag. From the distance, however, at which the body lay in
the canal the drag was insufficient to reach it. Mr. F. on
this stripped, waded into the water, and with much exertion
succeeded in getting the remains to the bank. The corpse
was that of a young woman, apparently about tsenty years
of age. She was decently attired, and bad on a frock or
gown of a reddish coloured pattern. She had fine stockings,
but no shoes on. Blood being observed to trickle from her
head, the latter was examined, when there appeared on
the crown of it a deep wound extending entirely across it,
and bearing every mark as if inflicted by a hatchet or some
such sharp heavy instrument. The right temple was also
marked by a frightful gash, from which the blood streamed
copiously. On the discovery of the body, the right hand
firmly grasped a'branch of white thorn, which, on inspecting
a hedge on the bank of the canal, was found to correspond
ith the mark of a branch torn (If a bush there. Under
all the circumstances, apprehensions were entertained by
the persons resident in the- locality that the deceased had
come by her death through violence. The body was not
recognised, and remains on the spot for an Inquest. No
document or paper was found that could furnish a clue as
to whom deceased was. The body appeared to have been
but a very short time in the water.
THE CROPS.—The reports .from the country on the
prospects of the spring are, we are gratified to state, of a
very cheerful nature. The crops have, within the last few
days, assumed quite an improved appearance. The brief
period of heat which we enjoyed, and the subsequent mois-
ture, accompanied by a genial warmth in the atmosphere,
have done much in counteracting tl.e evil effects of the
prolonged winter. Wherever the soil was rich, and calcu-
lated to receive the influence of the season to advantage,
the wheat crops look extremely vigorous ; but in cold and
clayey situations the blighting effects of the severe winter
are yet too obvious. The earlier sowing of oats looks thin,
and seems to have suffered much from the frost. The spring
business in some parts of England was finished at an earlier
period than last year. Very large quantities of potatoes
have been 50..-vn in this country ; and we trust that tho fears
of the poor people, who in many pacts of Ireland have to
depend on the burning of the soil for their potato crops,
have not been realised. Oa the whole Nature has put on
a brilliant aspect, and seems to cheer us with the promise
of an abundant autumn.—Freenian's Diurnal.

There is no improvement in the market to-day. It
has been but thinly attended, and very little business has been
done. Wool still continues to fall in price, and the dealers
are very desirous of selling ; but not many sales have been
effected.—Manchester Guardian.

On Sunday afternoon, as a young woman, of the
name of Mary Davis, was walking with her sweetheart in the
fields adjacent to the Lee river, upon some angry words
having taken place between them she suddenly left him, when,
before he was aware of her intentions, she plunged into the
river. She would have met with a watery grave but for the
presence of mind of a man, named Hanbury, a bricklayer,
who followed her, and brought her safe ashore. She was
taken to the station-house at Hackney, where Sergeant Hunt,
N, 23, sent for a medical gentleman, who having applied an
injection of brandy speedily brought about her recovery. She
was supplied with dry clothes, when matters being made up,
she walked away arm-in-arm with her intended.

THE SUN, LONDON, THITiiBDAY, JUNE S, is 37,

Mr. CHALMERS moved that the second reading of
the Edinburgh Water-Works Bill should be made in the
Order of the Day for Friday.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL considering the Bill
would create a monopoly, felt called upon to move that the
Bill should be read that day six months.
Mr. CHALMERS defended the Bill.
Mr, R. STEUART thought the Bill unnecessary, and
would therefore vote for the motion of his Hon. and Learn-
ed Friend the Attorney-General.
Sir J. WROTTESLEY hoped the Bill would not be
allowed to pass, and he should certainly vote for the amend-
ment,
Mr, HINDLEY supported the Bill.
Sir G. CLERK suggested that the Bill should be post-
poned till Friday next, and then made an Order of the Day.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL objected to any post-
ponement, and after a few observations from Mr. CHALMERS
strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the Gallery was
cleared for divi§ipn, ttpt ogots, took place, the amendment
having been agreed to.
The Bill is consequently lost.
VAUXHALL GARDENS.

Nit% A. JOHNSTON presented a petition from the in-
habitants of Lambeth, complaining of the determination of
the proprietors of Vau4hall Gardeps to keep them open
during six nights in the week. As lung. as they were kept
open only three nights in the week, the inconvenience had
Won overlooked ; but the noise and disturbance had been
so much InPfellggd during this season, and so much
misconduct and vi4e wip occasioned by the late hours at
which parties left the Gardens' dial; they e,pgict no longer
refrain from complaining of the evil, more e,3peeially as
the MegiWates could not afford the petitioners any redress.
Mr. HUMS dj4 rot believe one of the allegations con-
tained in the petition-4340h lighter)—nor did he be-
lieve that the Magistrates had refused to interfre on any
occasion when their interference was necess.:ry.
Mr, CHICHESTER presented a petition for the bet-
ter observance of the Sabbath.
Sir G. CRE WE presented upwards of 30 petitions with
the same prayer.
Mr. WAKLEY would take that opportunity of asking
the }Speaker 4question regarding a Bill which had passed
the third reading that evening. It was under the title of
the Bristol Small Tenements Bill, He had read through
the Bill since he entered the House, and be did not find
one word about small tenements in it—( Hear, hear)—not
one word l but it contained the powers of four public Acts,
and went to alter the taxation of the whole city. He
wanted to know whether that wag either regular or legal.
He would beg to ask of the Hon. Baronet (sir 11.. Vyvy4n)
whether the Bill had the sanction of the Council of Bristol
Sit? R. VYVYAN said the Bill emanated from the
Counol and Aldermen of Bristol.
Mr. HUME said the Bill then brought to the notice of
the House showed the necessity of their having an officer
for the purpose of taking care that such anomalies did not
occur. They threw ridicule upon the whole of the pro-
ceedings of the House,
After a few words from the SPEAKER, which were
inaudible in the Gallery, the conversation dropped.
Mr. WILKS presented a petition most numerously,
and he could assure the House most respectably, signed
by the most eminent merchants and manufacturers in Lon-
don—it was from the ward of Bread-street in the city
of London ; and the petitioners, after alluding to the Report
of the Corporation Commissioners, with respect to the City,
expressed their assurance that the House would not permit
the longer existence of the gross evils and abuses which were
there pointed out. The question of the good government
of the first city in the kingdom was one of paramount im-
portance ; and, therefore they entreated the House to take
the report into their serious consideration as speedily as
possible, with a view to put an end to the evils and hind-
rances to trade there pointed out.
IRISH TITHE BILL.

Mr. S. CRAWFORD gare notice that on the motion
for the second reading of this Bill on Friday, he should
move by way of amendment that it be read a second time
that day six months.
Mr. P. SCROPE presented a petition from an in I:vi-
dual, in favour of the Irish Poor Law Bill.
Sir W. FOLKES presented a petition from Gloucester
in favour of the better observance of the Sabbath.
Mr. G. F. YOUNG presented a petition from T 3 Ile-
mouth against tl:o Merchants Shipping Bill.
Mr. WILLIAMS presented a petition in favour of the
better observance of the Lord's Day.
Mr. FORBES presented a petition from Stirling to the
same effect.
Mr. FAZ AKERLY brought up the report of Committee
on the Puor-laws.—Laid on the table.
BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.
Mr. FORSTER rose to bring before the House a breach
of privilege. It would be recollected that in the debate
of Monday, on the motion of the Hon. Member for Bir-
mingham, in consequence of some remarks made by the
Hon. Member for Southwark (Mr. Harvey), with regard
to the Bank of England, whose operations the Hon. Mem-
ber considered to have been disastrous to the community,
he (Mr. Forster), feeling competent to form an opinion on
the matter, took the liberty of stating that the distress
prevailing in the country would have been greater but for
the judicious and liberal conduct pursued by the Bank of
England ; and in this opinion a great many gentlemen in
the City coincided. In justice to the Government oral the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, he must say, that had the
salutary warning given by them last year been attended
to, as to the extravagant spirit of speculation, much of this
distress would have been avoided. These remarks were
accurately reported in all the papers except the Monthly
Herald, in which he was made to say " he thought that
the statements of the distress were much exaggerated."
This was not what he had said. The complaint which he
made might appear trivial, but to those acquainted with the
state of the manufacturing districts, it was by no means un-
important. The district which he represented was in a state
of great divtress, which he trusted was only temporary. He
sympathised deeply in that distress, and would concur in
any measure for the speedy removal of it. Such being his
feelin,;s, had he expressed sentiments similar to those im-
puted to him, it would have implied an utter ignorance of
the distress, or an insensibility to its effects ; and no public
man would wish to remain under such an imputation. Ac-
cordingly he called at the otlice of the Morning Herald,
and pointed out to the parties there the inaccuracy of the
report ; he also wrote a note, stating what he had said,
and requesting that a correction of the former mis-state-
ment might be inserted on the following day. 01 two gen-
tlemen connected with the paper, whom he met in the
neighbourhood of the House, he also made the same re-
quest. He found, however, in the paper of to-day, that no
correction of the error appeared, nor any apology. He,
therefore, thought it necessary to bring the subject under
the consideration of the House, thinking, as he did, that the
refusal to correct a report was a defiance of the privileges of
the House that ought not to be submitted to. Under these
circumstances, lie could only move, that Robert John Ryan,
the printer of the paper, be ordered to attend at the Bar of
the House on Friday next.
Mr. HUME wished that the Hon. Member would point
out those words in the report of his speech which he consi-
dered to be a breach of privilege.
Mr. FORSTER said that the whole report of his speech
was a breach of privilege.—(Calls of " Read, read.") The
report was " Mr. Forster thought that the statements of
distress were much exaggerated."—( A laugh.) That was
the report.—(A laugh.) He moved that John Ryan, the
printer of the .Morning Herald, be called to the bar of the
House on Friday next.
Mr. HUME put it to the Hon. Member whether he was
taking the most appropriate course ? If the Hon. Member,
by calling up the printer to the bar, meant to say that he
had been guilty of a breach of privilege in publishing the
debates, that was intelligible. But at the same time it
could not be denied that it. was a breach of privilege which
the House tacitly sanctioned every night. If there was
any error in the report surely it would be enough for the
Hon. Member to have noticed it.—(Hear.)
