APPRENTICES.

Mr. FYLER, after enumerating the evils arising
from the present system of half-pay apprentices in
the manufacturing districts, and after quoting the
reports of two Select Committees in corroboration '
of his opinions on the subject, moved for leave to
bring in a Bill to do away with the system of half-
pay apprentices.
The motion as it originally stood was to, "do
away with half-pay apprentices," and the reading of
it excited much laughter. On being amended
.by
the Hon. Member, it was put and unanimonsly
agreed to.
Mr. WODEHOUSE postponed his motion re-
specting the duty on coals till this evening.
Sir J. GRAHAM said, that at that late hour he
felt it absolutely necessary to postpone his motion
respecting the salaries, &c. of the Members of the
Privy Council till this day, when, as his Hon.
Friend the Member for Aberdeen had withdrawn
his motion, he should move it as an amendment
upon the Order of the Day for going into a Commit-
tee of Supply.
On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER, the Committee on the sale of Beer Bill
was postponed till Monday next.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed
of, and the House adjourned at One o'clock.

Mr. Hume's motion,
Id, by mistake—they

It is said that a convention has been,signed in
London by the Brazilian Minister and the Envoy of the
young Queen of PORTUGAL, which stipulates that Brazil
shall continue to pay to the Regency of Portugal the amount
of the dividends of the Portuguese loan negotiated in Lon-
don, and also the balance of the indemnity stipulated for
under the treaty of separation. This balance amounts to
between 300,0001. and 400,000/. ; but it is further stated
that a conditional contract for a loan has been entered into
on the part of Brazil for the sum of 2,000,0001., which,
however, is to become a debt of Portugal in the event of
the young QUEEN gaining possession of the throne of that
country. These arrangements, we are informed, have been
concluded by M. de MATHOS on the part of Brazil, and
MM. MASCARENHAS and LIMA, on the part of the Regency.
A gentleman has been despatched to Rio with the convention
and the contract for the loan, in order to obtain, if possible,
their ratification from the Brazilian Chambers.— Times.

There is a classical custom observed, time out
of mind, at Oakley, in Surrey, of planting rose trees on
the grave, especially of the young men and maidens, who
have lost their lovers; so that this church-yard is now full
of them. It is the more remarkable, since it was an-
ciently used both among the Greeks and Roman; who
were so very religious in it that we find it often annexed
as a codicil to their wills, by which they ordered roses to
be yearly strewed and planted on their grave. Old AWA-
CS EON, speaking of it, says that it cloth protect the dead.

On Sunday night last, one of the most tre-
mendous events happened in Sunderland harbour that
ever occurred there. About a quarter past eig_ltt o'clock
the Durham packet, which was lying loaded ,ready for
sea, broke from her moorings in consequence of the heavy
fresh which was running rapidly down the harbour. The
ship was hurried with dreadful impetuosity against the
next tier of ships, which were at once driven from their
moorings; and in a few minutes every ship which was
afloat on the south side of the Wear, below the Ferry-
boat landing tier, was drifting towards the sea. The ves-
sels, however, stopped near 1-Lircleastle slip, and formed a
during which time the water rose several feet. At last a
sloop situated about the centre of the fleet was forced out
by the extreme violence of the flood, and immediately the
complete dam across the river for nearly half an hour,
whole of the ships drifted to the entrance of the harbour,
where they grounded and stopped, the tide being out. The
damage done was immense. It is calculated that at least
from 65 to '75 ships have suffered more or less. The acene
is truly heart-rending: ships dismasted, bowsprits lost,
vessels in a state of complete wreck, and six or eight sunk,
present a distressing appearance. The number of keels
sunk in the harbour, and driven out to sea and lost, h.,
not been accurately ascertained, but it is very great. LorJ
LONDONDERRY', floating drop is lying sunk in the river.
On the north side of the river a ship which was beii g
built on, we believe, Mr. Sroay's yard, has been wash, ti
off the stocks, or rather her supporters have been washed
from under her. The damage; however, with this ex-
ception, was entirely amongst the ships lying on the
south side of the river. We are serry to add that toe
master of the Wyndham unfortunately got both his legs
broke in the midst of the confusion on Sunday night.--
