LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 7, 1837.

In the House of Lords yesterday, after the reception of
tit'ime petitions on the subject of Church-rates, and one
from Morley, in the West-Riding of York, praying for the
immediate abolition of the Corn Laws, Earl FITZWILLIAM
gave notice that he will on Thursday next move for certain
documentary evidence connected with relief to the poor,
taken by Mr. NtcHou.s during his visit to Ireland. The
report on the Dublin Police Bill was brought up and agreed
to. The report from the Commissioners of Education in
Scotland was laid on the table.
The privilege of the House of Commons, as asserted by
that branch of the Legislature in their recently adopted
tesolutions, formed the subject of some observations, which
vrtll bb found in our Parliamentary Report, and to which,
from the important question they relate to, we invite the
attention of our readers. It will be seen that Lord DEN-
2'4N, acquiescing in the suggestion of Lords ELLEN-
IOROUGII and Lord LYNDIIURST, postponed his motion to
Tuesday, reserving to himself the right, if he then thought
P"Per, of calling their Lordships' attention to it.
In the House of Commons a protracted and not un:m-
Portant debate succeeded the presentation of petitions on
the subject of the London and Brighton Railway. Two
divisions took place. The following motion, made by Mr.
PicTon, was carried by a majority of 2 :—" That the mili-
tary engineer appointed by his Majesty, in pursuance of an
humble address from this House, be instructed, when con-
Sidering the subject of the London and Brighton lines of
railway, to keep in view the formation of one main southern
trunk fine out of London, by which unncessary intersection
of the-, country may be avoided, and facilities of approach
given to other towns on the southern coast."
The House shortly afterwards went into Committee on
the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, where they disposed of
clause's lip to the 61st." After two divisions tl,e words
" ex„ mptiwi persons holding rent-charges from the poor
rate" were omitted, as were also those which relieved run-
ning streams from assessment to poor-rate.
On the motion of Mr. Sergeant TA LFOU LtD the Law of
Copyright Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be
read a second time on the 12th inst.
The House adjourned at a quarter past one o'clock.

The Tories have been singularly unfortunate of late
ill their party speculations. The " whole-hog" system
that system which sticks at nothing to gaiiian ob-
ject, though it may produce a temporary sensation— is
found not to answer in the long run. Within the last few
inontlis everything that is mean and disc-editable has
been resorted to in the House of Commons—a band of
desperate, but pitiful renegades, GRAHAM, Butt-
-I)I4TT, and Co., leading the forlorn-hope—to assail
and embarrass the Government ; while, out of doors,
the equally unscrupulous, though more respectable,
agents of the faction, the HoLmEsEs, the Cnouc trims,
and all that tribe, have been labouring with unwearied
assiduity in their peculiar vocation, of supplying motives
'() such of time electoral body as were called upon to ex-
'''cise their constitutional functions. And what is the
I'Psilot of all this mano2uvring ? Has this waste of
:','"ey and wreck of principle produced any advan.
/4:ie t(-) the faction which have sanctioned such shame-
' Prueecdings ? Quite the central y. They are a
Teat way farther from their object than they were six
ago. The Westminster election put them
it o ecstasies. The return by their influence—by
olc ihtluence of Church-and-King nicn—of a poor
of 'l'4ll, who had in former days been the advocate
tic Allflual Parliaments, Universal Suffrage, and every
t‘•11,(4 that they considered an abomination, and who
that he had nut changed his political sentiments
pro:riB was hailed as an unheard of triumph, and a
thlunt,stroug as proof could be, not
merely that a gradual
•
's be WaS taking* place in the minL of the people,
'lc that le
very floodgates of reaction were opeiled,

and the irresistible tide setting in. Upon the back of
this followed the Bridgewater -Election, in which, by
the grossest bribery, their candidate proved suc-
cessful, and this of course was additional cvi-
denc2—this rendered assurance of " reaction" double
sure. Nothing now was wanting to their hopes—
nothing was necessary to prepare the way to
Do Nniug-strect, but the return of the Tory Candidate
for Glasgow. To this point they bent all their ener-
gies. BILLLY HOLMES and JOSEPH' CROUCHER
who had figured in smock-frocks among the poor
wretches of Bridgewater, were dispatched to Glasgow
to try their hands upon a northern constituency. Had
the constituency of Glasgow been as limited as that
of Bridgewater, it is probable that the gold of the
Carlton Club, which would have been offered without
measore, might have suceeeded. But here the
plot failed—here the hollowness and the fal-
lacy of the Tory system were made evident to all
the world. Tho electors of Glasgow were too nu-
merous and too honest to be bribed. They acted like
men who felt their own honour and that of their
country to be at stake. The Tories were
discomfited, and their fine bubble of reaction
with all its glittering glories burst at once and
disappeared. Aml now the public begins to
get a little insight into the transactions which
preceded the Glasgow election. A petition has
been presented from the electors of Bridgewater,
complaining of bribery at the late election, on the part
of the Tory Candidate, How does Mr. BROAD-
WOOD act on this occasion ? Does he come forward
to repel the charge. Oh no—nothing of the kind—
he is conscious that ho cannot face the Petitioners,
and therefore he informs the SPEAKER that it
is not his intention to defend his seat ! ! Mr.
BROADWOOD is perhaps afraid of the expense. He
happens to be one of the richest men in England.
Will his cause be taken up by. otb2r parties? We
doubt it—it is hopeless, and in a- week or two we shall
aaa the mighty ". re action" at Bridgewater end in
Mr. RICHARD BIIINSLEY SHERIDAN taking his
seat for that borough.

The second reeding of Sir ANDREW AGNEW'S
Sunday-tribulation Bill is appointed to take place to-
night in the House of Commons. A printed copy of
this curiosity is now lying before us, and we have no
hesitation in saying that it is, if possible, more astrin-
gent and hopreeticable in its character than ever.
Some of its clauses ar© simply ludicrous ; others
tyrannieal to the last degree ; but the majority are
gloriously imposaihle. The author of this precious
farrago of mingled absurdity and fanaticism, sets out in
the following imposing style : Forasmuch as nothing
is more acceptable to COD than the true and sincere
worahip of him according to his Holy Will, &c. ;"
and then proceeds to show forth his own devo-
tion and sagacity as a Christian Legislator, by
entering at once upon a war of extermination against
all srnall tradesmen and fruit-stall women, who may be
caught selling ginger-beer, or pies, or baked potatoes,
or any other such athiestical wares on the Lord's Day !
Towards all such offending Giaours our Saint is spe-
cially intolerant, proposing to enact that " it be law-
ful for any justice of the peace, police officer, con-
stable, deputy-constable, tithing-man, or other officer,"
to seize upon all such merchandize, " with or with-
out any other warrant or authority" than Sir AN-
DREW'S own Bill. And this he calls worship-
ping the LORD " according to his holy will I"
Of a verity, he must entertain strange notions
of Providence. When the fanatic of old stuck
pins in his rear-ward Adam, by way of provieg
the intensity of his devotion, he did not aet a whit
more absurdly or profanely than our modern fanatic,
when he offers up old apple-women as a holocaust.
Had he lived in the days of PHILIP the SECOND,
he would have undoubtedly been promoted to the office
of Grand Inquisitor ; and would have presided at an
auto-da7fe with a dignity and earnestness that could
not fail to have endeared him to the hearts of all bigots.
Having dispatched all the old apple-women and
small tradesmen who tempt the appetites of the pious
on the LORD'S Day, Sir ANDREW next proceeds to
pour down the vials of his wrath on nobler objects,
enacting that it shall be lawful for any official conser-
vator of the peace, " to seize, or cause to be seized,
-Ath or without warrant, one or More of any animals
travelling on the Sabbath." This clause is a perfect
phenomenon in the annals of legislation. It does
not affect—it will be observed—any one who may
be riding or driving, but simply hint who may be
" traaelling" on Sunday. Thus Sir R. PEEL may
with impun'ty roll along in his carriage throu.ah the
Parks or the West-end streets ; but woe betide him, if
he be caught at a few miles distance from London, with
his horses' heads, say, turned towards Windsor 1
Then he becomes an unquestionable traveller ; and
being such, his horses may be taken from his carriage,
and he himself left in the middle of the road, with no
:aher consolation than he may derive from meditating
.m the extraordinary piety of Sir ANDREW AGNEW.
But this is the least. curious part of the• business. If
any•policeman, constable, or other parochial function-
ary, should happen to be informed that the Ex-Pre-
mier was travelling" within his jurisdiction, and yet
refuse to make a caption of his " faithful " steeds ;
then lie shall be held to be an offsmder of an equally
tble die I Sha ire, we say, on such absurd, such
vexatious—such intolerant Legislation I Ate we liv-
ing in the nineteenth century, or in the dark ages when
men stood on one leg for days together, and fastened
themselves to pillars with chains about their necks, by
way of obtaining influence over the multitude, as
Saints of the first water ? We protest when we see
Bilk, like the one before us, brought forward into
Parliament, and there formally discussed, instead of
being kicked out by a unanimous resolution of the
House, we almost begin to doubt the truth of Lord
BitouGnam's adage that " the schoolmaster is
abroad ;" and to think that the world is little more
enlightened than it was in the times when SIMEON
STYLITES obtained a reputation for superlative sanc-
by squatting himself on the summit of a high
city,
pillar, day and night, for the last ten years of his life.
But it is impossible that our in )dern Saints' Bill
should ever pass into law. It is at variance with every
social principle that binds humanity together ; and,
under the specious pretence of strengthening them,
strikes at the loots of civil order and decorum. But
suppose it carried into effect, what would be the in-
evitable result ? Why, to revolutionize the habits,
tastes, and immemorial usages of the country from one
end to the other. " Merry England" would then,
indeed, be a fiction ; we should become a nation
of sour, vinegar-faced fanatics, making up,
hypocrisy, for our want of a true, healthy, reli-
gious feeling. Is this to be endured ? Are a squad
of legislative Pharisees to dog our heels ; to follow us
to our own doors, and even step with us across our
threshhold ; to keep watch on our out goings and our
in-coelings; to hurry don after us into the green
fields ; to drag us from the chaise or the horse ; aria
even pursue us to the aeß.port, lest we might
chance, from necessity, to set sail for somiie foreign
land on the Lord's Day ? is this, we repeat,
to be endured—least of ail, by a people whose
main boast it is, that it enjoys a
.full measure of r.
tional liberty ? Impossible. The Millennium of the
Saints is not yet so near as Sir ANDREW imagines;
we would advise him, therefore, to digest his disap-
pointment in silence, and ei4:sg to pester us with
Sunday-tribulation Dills ; or if this be too CIA tg

exact from him, at least to commence his Sabbatical
experiments on the rich, and so work gradually down
to the poor.

The French .TOmnals of Monday, received to-day,
are extremely barren of interesting intelligence, save
what relates to the public entry of the Royal Family
into Palk on Sunday. The K I NG, We are happy to
announce, was received with acclamations of joy ;
and the Duchess of ORLEANS won the affections of
the people by her unaffected urbanity. For a spirited
account of the whole proceedily,s we refer our readers
to another part of The Sun. Respecting the Carlist
expeditionary movements in Catalonia very link is
known in Paris. We find in the official columns of
the Moniteur the following dispatch, which includes
the whole of the latest news from the theatre of war
in Spain :
•‘ BAYONNE, JUNE 4, 2 P.M.—The Carlists were still at
Barbastro on the Ist, pushing, their reconnoissances on both
banks of the Cinca, without undertaking any thing. Baron
de Meer was on the left bank, and General Oraa on the
right, at a short distance from Barbastro. Espartero arrived
at Pampeluna on the 2,1. The Carlists attempted in vain to
stop him in his march. They have retired from before
L0d0,,a."

The Spanish bondholders in Paris held another
public meeting on Monday, when resolutions declar-
ing it expedient to address the Chamber of Deputies
in favour of French intervention in the affairs of the
Peninsula were carried unanimously. We trust that
no time will be lost in the presentation of this; petition,
as we ate exceedingly anxious to learn whether recent
events in Spain have opened the eyes of the French Go
r•ernntent to the expediency of adopting a more
straight-forward policy as regards the Peninsula. Some
thing ought to be done—and that instantly—to stop
the effusion of innocent blood. What are the personal
claims of Donna ISABELLA and Don CARLOS when
weighed against the blood of the thousands of unoi-
fending human beings that have been slaughtered in the
prime of life for the possession of what never did
and never can belong to either of them? A mole-hill
placed near the eye looks larger than a mountain in
the distance ; and therefore, we presume, it is, that
LOUIS PHILIPPE scarcely perceives the Spanish
people behind the Royal candidates for the sovereignty
of the Peninsula. His powers of vision are obscured
by the intermediate figures .of the Infant QUEER and
her Uncle ; and while they are personally safe, lie
neither appears to see, think of, or care for, the mise-
ries of the Spanish populace.
The following are extracts from the French
Journals : --
FRONTIERS OF SPA IN.-An extraordinary courier, dispatched
by. the Spanish Consul, set out for Madrid on the 2Sth. He
is to inform the Governments that repeated dcmands have
been made by the army of Espartero for all sorts of military
stores and for provisions, of which it is quite destitute. An
order of Espartero has been published in the several places
evacuated by the Carlists and occupied by the Christinos,
giving the inhabitants fifteen days to return to their homes; if
they do not obey their property will be seized. Some families
have already presented themselves.

By order of the Junta of Navarre, the inhabitants of the
vallies of Auue, Artez, and others on the line, may carry to
Painpeluna all sorts of articles arid provis'ons. For this they
are to pay 40 reals vellors per month for each mule. We are
assured that a new expedition was preparing at Lecumberre
on the 27th ; it is said to be composed of the 2d, 31, 4th, and
sth of Navarre, under the command of General Guei gue._

Carlos, who escaped from the depot at Moulins, was arrested
on the 26th by the gendarmes just as he was on the point of
entering Spain. He has been conducted to Angoulcme.—
Memorial des Pyrenees. This is, doubtless, the General
Officer, whose passage through Bordeaux was announced.
A letter from Bayonne says, " that the French authorities
on our frontiers and that of the Eastern P)renees are ob-
served to be more strict than ever respecting Spaniards sus-
pected of being Carlists."—Le Commerce.

all the recent advices from the Spanish capital

headed from want of money. There arc no funds,
and Ministers are driven to their wits' end to procure
the necessray supplies for c irrying on the war. Tho
tortes have the power of removing every apprehension
of danger to the new order of things from a scarcity
of specie, and unless they can be hnught to exercise
we fear it will be yet a long tin before the nation
will reap any bLmefit from their constitutional labours.
If there be a want of specie in Spain there is none of
the precious metals. The Churches abound in gold
and silver ornaments, which is a species of the
wort sacrilege to keep locked up when their
conversion into money would save Spain from
the pollution of remaining steeped in her own blood.
What is the sanctity of the ornaments encirling an
altar of stone when compared with the existence of
the living temples of the Holy Ghost ?" But sup.
posing the Cortes adverse to such an extreme mea-
sure, Spain abounds in works of art, upon the posses-
sion of which immen a sums would be advanced by
public Companies in France and England. The
picure galleries in Madrid are mines wealth.
Whv not raise suppli2s by pledging a part of their
contents, redeemable again on the repayment of
the principal and interest ? On some of the
finest pictures money might be raised at seven
per cent. interest, with national guarantees for
their preservation. This would certainly be a more
economical and expeditious plan than that of mort-
gaging provincial revenues, and borrowing at an enor-
mous sacrifice on the faith of national credit. The Cortes
abound in resources had they only the spirit to em-
ploy them in defence of the national liberties. Time
Escurial alone contains more unemployed wealth than,
in the hands of an able Minister, would extricate
Spain from all her pecuniary difficulties and em-
barrassments.

We regret to learn that the gamt►lers were unusu-
ally numerous and successful at the late Epsom races. Among
other dupes, two young men are said to have staked the horse
and chaise which they had hired for the occasion, and were,
of course, as the phrase is, " ganuno3ed" out of them ; and
other victims who thought themselves shaper than sharpers,
paid dourly for their flatness.

Rats are among the most formidable plagues of
Northern Africa. They are, if possible, more cruel than the
human inhabitants ; compared to whom our European rats
may be considered the most civilized and polite creatures in
the world. Among the Egyptians the most abusive epithets
in the language arc applied to rats ; and among the Arabs
there is a proverb which says, " Give me rather the roguery
of a cat than the honesty of a rat." According to the report
of ancient as well as modern travellers it is no uncommon cir-
cumstance in Africa for whole families to be driven from their
habitations by rats and mice.

App!es promise to be most abundant, pears are
looking rich in bloom, and seem to set fairly. •A mist and
gloom advancing from S. E. at noon, rather furnishes a hint
of that phenomenon termed " blight," which, however, is
poduced not by flights of insects, but by atmospheric influence
upon the juices of the shoots and leaves, which renders them
a delicious repast to those marauders that are ever ready for
their prey. County Chronicle.
Mtween nine an] ten o'clock on Wednesday even-

startled at a gate, wfilelt wag lying flat in the 'riddle of the

they were thrown out with great violence, and Miss Tyrrell
was so dreadfully injured that she. expired the following day in
the greatest agony, notuithstanding all Ow stlyglesl

that Mrs. Hatton would i:ut foigivvr, but it is gratifjinr, to 14

COMMON PLEAS-(rillS DAY.)

(Sittings in Banco.)
THE EAST INDIA COMPANY V. BAKER AND ()THUS.

Id this case a question arose whether ships trading between
the port of London and China should Perform only six voyages
agreeably to the proyisions_of the Dock Act.
Sir W. FOLLETT and Mr. Some': rat SpANKIE were heard
at length respecting the construction of the word '' last"
voyage ►n the preamble of the Act.

The
COURT • decided in favour of the defendants, on the
ground that where vessels were not loaded in the docks,
but in the river, they could not be liable to pay the charges,
and that the word last" must refer to the last voyage, and
not to the sixth, as contended for on the other side.
