COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a Court was held fur the despatch of public
business.

THE COMMERCIAL RAILWAY BILL.

Mr. ANDERTON brought up the Report of the Parlia-
mentary Committee on the proceedings in opposing the
Blackwall Commercial Railway Bill in the House of Com7i
mons, and for opposing the said Bill in the House of Lords.:
When the Report, which consisted merely of the details!
of what had taken place in the Committee of the House ofi
Commons, was read,

The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee had thought it
necessary to leave it without any comment to the Court to
decide whether the opposition should be contioc4.l, to the
Bill, which had passed the House of CommonsAwd bad
been read a first time in the House of Lords.

Deputy CORNEY moved that the Committee be iustrtictedN
to oppose the Bill in the House of Lords. -. !:1
Mr. WHEELER. and Mr. CHRISTIE supported the in-::'-
struction to the Committee Co oppose the Bill in the House'c,
of Lords, and 1
Mr. STACEY opposed it. 1
Mr. CORNEY replied, after which the motion was put
and agreed to by a large majority. q
Mr. CORNEY then moved that a petition should be sent'il,
to the House of Lords, praying that their Lordships would
reject the Commercial Railway Bill.—Agreed to. ,4

Members at the forthcoming election. George Shenton Kemp-
son, Esq., of Abingdon-street, was in the chair. The meet-
ing was addressed by General Evans as well as by Colonel
Thompson, Dr. I3owring, and several other gentlemen. G 2..?"
neral Evans was received in the most enthusiastic manner.

THE ARISTOCRATIC RIOTERS.—A Bill of In-',
dictment was this week preferred at our Quarter Sessions fors.,
the County against the Marquis of Waterford, Sir Frederick=?
Johnston, 'dart., the Hon. Augustus Charles Hyde Villiers,t,
and Edward Horner Reynard, Esq.; and through the discredit-
able conduct of certain Grand Jurymen, the aristocratic peace-'
breakers nearly escaped from the grasp of Justice.
It is likely, looking to the usual course pursued in such cases,
that the indictment will be sent down by the Court of Queen's
Bench for trial at our Assizes; unless (as we have heard it
whispered, it is doomed to be waylaid in its passage to "a,
higher tribunal, by divers evil-disposed persons," and laid t&--
sleep by the drowsy influence of Mammon. To this whisper
we are not disposed to listen : we cannot believe that the pro!'
secution will be suffered to fall to the ground.—Leicester'

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 4, 1837.

' In-the House of Lords, little else was done but the pre-
sentation of petitions, and the advancement a stage of
several Bills, the enumeration of which would be but a
-4.‘. recapitulation of the particulars contained in our Parlia-
mentary report. We shall therefore in this place merely
-,..,
observe, that some interesting conversation ensued on the
--/ presentation of a petition by Lord Belhaven " from the
General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, praying for
"; additional Church accommodation." Lord Melbourne con-
' i eluded some remarks upon the subject of the petition, saying
Ik. that " he undoubtedly thought that the subject of extending
~„ Church accommodation in Scotland was one which Govern-
ment ought to take into speedy and serious consideration. At
. the same time, however, it was undeniable that the question
''.
was not a single one, or a question which could be con-
sidered abstractedly. He could scarcely help thinking
that if a man in Scotland were really desirous to go to
. Church, he would not find any difficulty in doing so.
... But he was ready to consider the subject. He was ready
to go further. He would promise the assistance to the
# object of the petitioners which had before been promised, if
"'the property which was the property of the Church was
Mnow at the disposal of the Crown and Parliament—the
rt/hereditary revenues. He would he ready to consider
1-1
r whether these funds were not available for the purposes in
~: view, and whether these could be effected in the manlier in
;:.:- which it was now supposed they could. If these funds
tl were found insufficient, and it was reported to be wise and
vOexpedient, then he for one would go farther upon the sub-
ject, and say that the subject ought to be immediately
taken up and receive serious consideration."
In the House of Commons many miscellaneous and
other estimates, moved in Committee of Supply, were voted.
A sum of 200,0001. was voted for her Majesty's Civil
'List ; and 01,0001. were voted away for the repairs of
rblarlborough llouse. On the vote for 88,0001. towards
ierecting new Houses of Parliament being proposed, there was
a division : it was then carried by a majority of 80.
v
It The grant of 142,000/ on acommt of Canada was also op-
`}?posed ; but ultimately carried. During the discussion on
,this item, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that although no Bill
t:founcled On time resolutions relat,e to Canada conid be
t '
ftbrought in this Session, the Government had most
un-
doubtedly not abandoned, but intNltled to act upon those 2fi
resolutions. The Imprisonment for Debt Bill was read a
t7:tlmird time and passed.
~,,

El Several Bills were last night read a third time and
p sscd in the Commons, among which were the Im-
i.,priscument for Debt Hill, and the Bits of Exchan!-Te

Bill.

The object of this latter Bill is to extend the

...toperation of a Bill passed last Session, for suspending
74 the Usury laws on all 13i is having only three
months to run : the Bill of last nitilit enlarges that
time to ttrelve months, which will be a great relief to
)people in trade, by making that transaction kgittnzatc
which would otherwise be usurious. Now we do not
_'see why the operation of lending money at a higher
'!rate than five per cent. should be limited to

hills of exchange.

There are a thousand other

equally valid on winch commercial people
vould wish to barrow money for short periods—such
!;rs wine warrants, &c., deeds, leases, &c., &c. Now,
the Bill were to include such as these, how manifold
fLvould be the benefits of its operation ! What a saving
would there not be to people by depositing these,
':'..instead of the cumbrous method now resorted to by the
intervention of and fin• the benefit of lawyers I The
Ipresent practice is nothing better than a species of
„ilegerdemain—a mere evasion of the usury laws—or
what is familiarly termed an attempt to cheat the
Devil in the dark. Besides the immorality of such
manceuvering, the needy are made to pay enormously.
oWe trust that Lord BROU3TIAM, or some other
;Noble Lord, will remedy these defects, before the Bill
rtpass through the Upper Howie.

- to any one who has observed their political demeanour.
-They have a party purpose cf immense importance to
-:serve at the present moment, and they imagined they
could not perform this service more effectually than by
,;.raising the cry of enmity to the Kirk on the part of
: her MAJESTY'S Ministers, on the eve of a general
election. Br this time, we have no doubt, they are
-. heartily sorry that they meddled with the matter, for
:they most completely missed their mark. We are
. quite sure after the declaration made by Lord MEL-
BOURNE last night, that if any portion of the Clergy
of the Church of Scotland are unfriendly to the pre-

`seat Government, it must be fur some other reason
az 35 than its hostility to tliat rz.‘ligious Establi,huent. We

'HIS DAY ATONI of common understanding, whether it ought not to
satisfy the greatut stickler for religious establishments ?
(y
ecenson's)... We repeat, that when we look at the change which
has been taking place of late years among the masses,
'ay Cc-A:Tarty
on the subject of such establishments—when we think
Nhaveii r
of the immense rapidity with which the voluntary
principle has spread, and the immense number of
converts which it is daily making—we are not a little
surprised at the hardihood of Lord MELBOURNE'S
declaration ; and we are still more amazed at the infa-
tuation of those who, professing themselves Church-
men, are not above all things eager to close with the
proposition. Of one thing they may rest assured, that
the time is fast, very fast approaching, when it will be
impossible for any Minister of this country to carry
into effect the intentions expressed by Lord MEL-
BOURNE in so kindly a spirit to the Established
Church of Scotland.

Notwithstanding all the stir the clergy and persons
interested in the continuation of Church Rates have
made to get up petitions, the number of signatures to
petitions to the Commons against the Government
plan, amounts only to the half of those in favour of
it. According to the last report of the Committee on
Public Petitions, the total number of signatures to the
former is 327,645, while the signatures to the latter
amount to 653,916. So much for the voice of the
country being against the measure. But, what is still
more important, if the names to the petitions against it
were analysed, they would be found composed of three
classes—the clergy, the ignorant peasantry, and that very
respectable section of the Tories who hate the very name
of Reform. The Dissenters deserve great credit for their
perseverance on this subject; for it is quite clear that but
for the strong manifestation they made previous to the
meeting of Parliament we should never have heard of the
appointment of a Committee on Church lands. We
regard this as the most important measure of the Ses-
sion, and, singular enough, the parties who differ
most on the subject, Dissenters and high Churchmen,
have combined in forcing it upon the Government.
The Duke of WELLINGTON, by his opposition to
reform, brought on the crisis ; and the Churchmen,
by opposing the Ministerial plan for the abolition of
Church-rates, have paved the way for instituting a
searching enquiry into a species of public property,
of which the great body of the people know nothing.
Without their opposition no such enquiry would have
taken place. We have frequently had occasion to
thank the Tories for what they have done in the cause
of Reform ; but for nothing do they better deserve
thanks than for their determined support of this ob-
noxious tax.

We are glad to see that the independent electors of
East Cumberland are setting about in right earnest
the good work of relieving that division of the county,
from being any longer misrepresented by Sir JAMES
GitAHANt. The time has arrived when it becomes
the imperative duty of the electors to visit him with
the fitting reward of his apostacy, and to teach him,
however well he may stand in his own estimation
(and we happen to know the Cumberland Baro-
net has a tolerably fair opinion of himself), or
in the estimation of his quondam opponents, the
LOWTHERS, since his notorious apostacy, that in po-
litical as well as in private life, the adage which de-
clares honesty to be the best policy holds equally
good. We do not envy the feelings of Sir JAMES
when over his
_" tea and toast," he tells up the
number of respectable Electors of East Cumber-
land whose names are attached to the requisition
presented to Major AGLIONBY, and in which their
opinion of the consistency of the Cumberland Baronet
is faithfully recorded. A kindred spirit of Tory
philanthropy will no doubt dictate to him the neces-
sity of lending Sir JAMES a helping hand, in " let-
ting him down" easily, and of seeing him decently in-
terred in the mausoleum of political apostates. A
subscription has been commenced to defray the ex-
penses to be incurred by the Liberal candidates in
relieving East Cumberland of its present mis-repre-
sentative, and we earnestly call upon all true Reform-
ers to crmtribute liberally towards the consummation
of a national obj.ct so devoutly to he wished for.

We have received the whole of the P2ris papers la
Sunday. In the course of that day, the following in.
telligcnce was conveyed to the Government by tele.
graph :

" NARBONNE, JULY 1.
" PERPIGNAN, JUNE 30.—Rayo, with 4,300 Catalonians,
forming the advanced guard of Don Carlos, on the 23d of
June had his outposts at Rubi, Castell, Bisbal, and San Cugat.
" The head-quarters of the Baron de Meer were at Marlorell.
It is believed that he has 15,000 infantry, and 1,400 cavalry.
Provisions were scarce. At Barcelona 750,000 dollars had
been realized under the name of a forced loan, for the use of
the army. On the 28th of June, Eroles, at the head of 2,000
men, detwinkled at La Sea d'Urgel 10,000 dollars, under the
threat that if they were not paid he would burn the houses."

This intelligence is calculated to re-inspire the hopes
of the Constitutionalists. Between the Carlist rear-
guard and the advanced guard of DE MEER'S division
there is only a distance of some three or four leagues
at the utmost—a space insufficient to admit of any
unrestrained movement on the part of the insurgents.
Should the PRETENDER menace Barcelona, he could
not possibly avoid risking a general ei►gagement, were
DE MEER disposed to put all to the issue of one.
The Carlists arc evidently trying to open a communi-
, cation with France by way of Perpignan, which would
enable them to maintain an uninterrupted correspon-
' deuce with the rebels of Biscay and Navarre, as well
as with the Foreign Powers who, through the agency
of the Court of Sardinia, secretly support the cause of
civil and religious despotism in the Peninsula. But
zeal and activity on the part of the QUEEN'S Generals
cannot fail to render these plans abortive. The passes
of the Eastern Pyrennees are for the most part both
difficult and dangerous ; the population on the Spanish
frontier is neither rich not numerous ; and therefore a
Carlist artful could not subsist itself among the moun-
tains till furnished with the necessary supplies by con-
traband—for from France do the Carlists expect to
receive all their rations as soon as a communication
can be opened between the PRETENDER'S Ministers
and his friends in that country.
The Moniteur contains the following favourable
official news from Saragossa :-
- " The Captain-General of Aragon publishes a dispatch
from the third section of the Army of the Centre, in which it
is stated that the Governor of Morilla, on the 20th inst., sent
a detachment of 60 men of the regiment of Santiago, 16 Na-
tional Guards, and four horsemen, towards Mirambel, where
the rebel junta of Aragon, with an escort of 100 men, hap-
pened to be. After a stout defence on the part of the rebels,
the commanding officer entered tho town at the head of his

small detachni:nt,, and fulfilled his cOlinnission Uy Killing 15
and taking nine pri-oner3.
" Among the killed are D. Jaime Cams, Lieutenant-Colo-
nel, and two other members of tl'e Junta ; D. Jose Milian,
Dean of Nloya ; D. Antonio Da Costa, Lieutenant-Colonel ;
D. Francisco Marti, -Captain of cavalry ; D. Jose Ramon
Loper, Adjutant; and three officers more; and among the
prisoners is D. Ramon Mateo, assessor of the Junta. The
other members had left the day before for Cantavirja."
This successful skirmish was followed on the next d sy
by another equally favourable, though not so important
in its results. Three hundred Christinos surprised two
regiments of CABRERA'S division in a narrow pass
near Rivens, on the Ebro, of whom nearly all were
killed on the spot. The few that escaped plunged
into the Ebro and swam for their lives.

The Garde National of Marseilles of the 28th ult.,
contains copies of the various documents connected
with the trial of General de RIGNY before a court-
martial, which was to be held on that day, It will be
remembered that the General was charged by Marshal
CLAUSEL with cowardice in conducting the disastrous
retreat from Constantine, and that to wipe away this
stain from his character he prayed and obtained a trial
by court-martial. It was stated in Paris on Sunday
evening that the Government had received a telegraphic
dispatch from Toulon, announcing the conclusion of
the trial, and General de ItraNY's honourable ac-
quittal.
_ .

Contrary to general expectation, the Chamber o
Deputies,having voted the required supplies on Satur•
day, will not sit again. The P.ers, however, will con.
tinue to sit till the several projects of laws sent up
from the Lower Chamber are disposed of. This will oc-
cupy them for the greater part, if not the whole, of the
current week. We copy from the Journal des Debats
of Sunday the following general observations on the
impression made on the public mind of France by the
legislative events and policy of the important Session
which awaits bu the formality of a termination :
" The Chamber of Deputies has had its last sitting. The
members have adopted the custom of separating immediately
after the vote of the budget, without waiting for the Peers to
terminate their part in the legislation. This' long session has
been cut in two by the Ministerial crisis, and the retreat of cer-
tain personages towards whom our affection and esteem are
known. But we will not rake up the past ; it would be to
make the dispute a personal one, which would be by no means
fitting the dignity of their character. We shall merely re-
mark, that in the early part of the session Mr. Duchatel
passed some excellent financial measures, and that M. Guizot
carried his law on secondary instruction, a memorial of his li-
berality and talent. Striking events, rather than legislative la-
bours, signalised the latter part of the session. The new Mi-
nistry found the public mind wearied and irritated by the Minis-
terial crisis ; and its task has been to calm this irritation. Many
of its acts we might blame ; but, on the whole, the conduct of the
Cabinet of the 15th of April has not wanted talent or address ;
if it has not extinguished, it has at least softened divisions. It
has brought about a truce, if not a peace, and the truce is de-
lightful and welcome after such unceasing combats. Whatever
sacrifices have been made by the Ministry to this great object,
they have at least not been thrown away. Parties, after having
tasted of peace can with difficulty recommence war, nor can they
find in their hearts either the same violence of passion, nor the
same chances of success. The Ministry has renounced some of
the guarantees of order which have become law ; it renounced
merely some others proposed. It is impossible not to be struck by
the results of this prudent and conciliatory policy. The Ses-
sion has peaceably terminated, laws of confidence have
been voted, the country is quiet and confiding, and party
without a pretext for strife. Such has the Ministry to offer
by way of justification to impartial men. Without any great
parliamentary struggle, the Ministry has obtained from the
Chambers what it desired—the funds requisite to guard
against dangerous persons and cabals at home, the mainte-
nance of a force in Africa sufficient to win respect and peace
from the Arabs, an augmentation of salary for magistrases and
prefects,and a fitting dotation for the heir to the Crown. There
are, moreover, the amnesty and the Prince's marriage. It
would be idle to discuss the principle of the amnesty : it must
be judged by its effects. The country accepted the measure
with favour ; that cannot be denied. Clemency, even car-
riel to excess, produced feelings of admiration and grati-
tude. And when the King opened wide the doors of prisons
we blessed the pardon, which did not tarry for repentance.
Other Governments have published amnesties after spilling tor-
rents of blood. The Government of July did not so. It shed no
blood on the scaffold, and pardoned men condemned, but not
proscribed. France was moved to and delighted by this
clemency, and abandoned itself to confidence and joy, know.
ing that after an amnesty fresh troubles become impossible.
In signing the amnesty the Ministry incurred a great risk.
It is, therefore, the more entitled to the honour of success.
The measure, too, was the fittest preliminary of the marriage,
which was also M. Mole's work. For six years France had
not seen such glorious days the King re-appearing in the
midst of us, in the midst of his people, surrounded by his
family, amidst the monuments he has raised at Fontainebleau
and Versailles. The Ministry was wise in thus allowing the
King to follow the dictates of his courage and noble confidence.
It seemed as if liberty had been restored to all of us, and that
the moment was come to believe in a future of security and
happiness."

There is no other news of any interest in the French
journals of Sunday. Letters from Bayonne, of the
28th ult., announce the determination of Count De
MIRASOL to take the field without delay. On the
22d ESPARTERO was at Logrono.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We stated yesterday that a Russian frigate had arrived at
Gravesend, with a considerable quantity of gold on board.
We now learn that the amount is about 400,0001., which was
deposited at the Bank of England. It is also stated that more
gold is exp Tied in a few days from other quarters, when the
Bank of England will have in its possession about six millions
of bullion.

Although money was very scarce at the Stock Exchange
during yesterday, Consols continued buoyant, owing to the
important arrival from Russia of the large amount of gold.
Commercial afnirs were also in a quiet state, and, upon the
whole, had a better appearance.
We have no tidings as yet of the arrival of the American
packet of the Bth ult., which vas said to have been off Liver-
pool. Great anxiety is expressed for her arrival.
