CHELSEA BUN-HOUSE.—This building, so ce-
brated in bygone times, is now razed, and its fragments
lie scattered on the site whereon it so long stood. The
same reason that called for the demolition of that ancient
structure, namely, the public convenience, exists for the
removal of an adjacent nuisance in the shape of a toll.

In reply to questions from Lord BROUGHAM, Lord
MELBOURNE gave an assurance, which Lord BROUGHAM
pronounced to be satisfactory, that what while we en-
deavour to maintain peace between the PORTE and
MEFIENILT ALI, we are to preserve the strictest neu-
trality. Their Lordships did no other business, except
presenting petitionl.
In the House of Commons, Mr. WOOD brought un-
der notice, by command of the Public Petition Commit
tee, the fact that a considerable number of petitions
were lithographed, and he wished for the instructions of
the House on the subject. Printed petitions are con-
trary to the orders of the House, and it was inferred
that lithographed petitions fall under the same ban.
After sonic conversation it was settled that the sub-
ject should again be brought under the notice of the
House on Tuesday next.
Sir ROBERT PEEL announced his intention of op-
posing the Ministers on the Jamaica Bill on Monday.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to
Mr. HOME, stated that he should be able in the next
fortnight to state what be meant to do on the subject of
Joint Stock Banks. In a fortnight, Mr. HUME is to
bring forward a motion to inquire into the conduct of
the Bank of England.
Mr. CRESWELL referred to the Danish claims, and
inquired whether there was not to be another Report.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER S..id it Would
lie with the House to determine.
Mr. MACKINNON after describing the great merits of
Mr. FOURDRINIER, and expatiating on the advantages
of his invention to the country, and the injury it had
caused to the inventor, moved that the report of the
Committee on the subject be taken into consideration.
Some discussion took place as to the form of the motion,
and then Mr. MACKINNON moved to refer the matter
to a Committee of the whole House, it being a money
question.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, though be
threw doubts on the propriety of giving any money to
Mr. FOURDRINIER, consented to the motion, declaring
that he would subsequently state the opinions of Mi-
nisters.
Sir R. PEEL was opposed to the motion. Mr.
PItYMZ said Mr. FOURDRINIER was a martyr to the
Patent Laws. After some conversation, Mr. MAC-
KINNON withdrew his motion.
Mr. HAWES brought on the case of DAVID JONES
the Churchwarden of Llanon, now in Carmarthen
gaol. The Hon. Member entered at considerable
length into the subject, condemned the conduct of
our Ecclesiastical Courts, and concluded by moving a
resolution, " That, in conformity with the recommenda-
tion of the Commissioners on Ecclesiastical Courts
in England and Wales, this House is of opinion that
the jurisdiction of all the Inferior Ecclesiastical Courts
should be abolished without delay."
Mr. PRYME suggested to add the words, " or modi-
fied."
Mr. JONES explained and vindicated the conduct of
Mr. MORRIS, the Vicar. Mr. DARBY, finding the
subject an unpleasant one to the Church, moved the
pre% ious question.
Sir S. LUSHINGTON and the CHANCELLOR Of the Ex-
CHEQUER supported Mr. HAWES'S motion.
After some attempt at opposition on the part of the
Ultras, and some speeches on both sides, the resolution
was agreed to, with a modification suggested by the
CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, which we hope will
speedily be followed by the abolition of Inferior Ecclesi-
astical Courts, which are engines of oppression, and are
administered, as Sir STEPHEN LUSHINGTON said, by
clergymen who know nothing of the law. If the op-
pression of Mr. JONES have hastened the annihilation
of those Courts, he may find some consolation in that
for his sufferings.
Mr. LANGDALE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to 1
