Captain-General, as in Spain, and superseding all such
inefficient authorities as Lords Lieutenant and Town
Councils. The debate will be read with interest as
concerns Birmingham ; but Lord BROUGHAM'S two
petitioners, after his statement, were wholly forgotten.
The Electors Removal Bill, being a good Bill, and of
some advantage to the electors, was very appropriately
thrown out by their Lordships, on the second reading,
by 80 to 39.

The Prisons Bill, which was committed, seemed to
excite the interest of the Bishops, who attended in con-
siderable numbers beyond the dining hour. The clauses
of the Bill were much discussed, the Prelates interfering
about the books to be allowed in gaol, and such matters.
The principal thing, however, was the clause which al-
lowed of Catholic Chaplains to be appointed to gaols,
and the Right Rev. Prelates spoke learnedly and feel-
ingly on them, particularly the Bishop of EXETER, who
supposes, contrary to all the experience of the Clergy of
the Church of England,that a crop of believers will start
wherever there is a Priest. Of course the Bishops
were successful ; the clause allowing Catholic felons the
comfort of Catholic Priests was thrown out by a ma-
jority of 73 to 34. The rest of the clauses were agreed
to without discussion.

The Custody of Infants' Bill was read a second time
after a short debate, in which most of the legal Lords
took part.—Adjourned at a Quarter past One.
Mr. LEADER presented in the Commons a similar
petition to that presented by Lord BROUGHAM in the
Lords, which is to be taken into consideration on

Monday.
The Canada Government Bill was read a third tine
and passed, after a short debate and a division, on which
110 voted for the third reading, and 10 against it.
The Register of Births Bill was also read a third
time. The House was occupied for a long period with
the Summary Jurisdiction Bill, which some Members
objected to proceed with it at this late period of the Ses-
sion. The House, however, went into a Committee on
the Bill, and talked over the clauses at great length.
Several other Bills were forwarded a stage, and we
are happy to learn that the Postage question is to be
further proceeded with on Monday, to make way for
which the question of the Bank of Ireland was post-
poned from Monday till Wednesday. The Commons
sat till past Oae o'Clock.

Men, as well as many other animals, commit
very foolish acts when under the influence of
terror. It is right to remind our readers, particu-
larly of the middle classes, of this general fact at
this moment, because there is some danger of their
being driven by temporary alarm, caused by what
we hope is only temporary madness, to ask for and
adopt measures of lasting mischief.
The Duke of WELLINGTON in the House of
Lords on Tuesday, implied that, to repress the riots
at Birmingham, measures of greater severity ought
to have been employed. In the same debate
Viscount MELBOURNE condemned, in strong
terms, the public meetings which had been held,
and the language used at them. He stated that he
had long apprehended danger from them ; " but in
the present state of the law, and present state of
the country, he had not seen nor did he yet see
the means by which these meetings could be put
an end to."
In the debate on the Education question,
Lord JoHN Russr.r., concluded his speech on
June 20th, by referring to the state of the people,
and by taking credit to the Ministers for not
having, at the commencement of the Session, pro-
voked an alarm on account of the proceedings of the
Chartists, and asked, as other Governments, thirty
years ago, would have done, for the suspension of
the Habeas Corpus Act. We thought his conduct
wise in not imitating the bad example of the Tories ;
but we cannot avoid now suspecting, after what fell
from him and Lord MELBOURNE, that the question
of making some appeal to Parliament for
more stringent laws, for a sort of Coer-
cion Act for England, has been debated
in the Cabinet, and that the Ministers, not assured
of support, shrunk from proposing any such mea-
sure. Now, however, when Birmingham has been
set on fire, when great irritation has been evinced
in several places, the Ministers would find, we are
afraid, ample support were they to propose such a
scheme. A temporary disaster may therefore be-
come the parent of a system of tyranny long con•
tinned, and to warn our readers against calling
for such a system, or lending themselves to support
such a system, should it be proposed, under the
impression of fear, is the object we have at prose
in view.

We must first again remind our readers that the
immediate outbreak at Birmingham is clearly to be
traced to the injudicious and unwarrantable attack
made by the Magistrates on the people in the first
instance, and to their subsequent excessive confi-
dence, leading to the neglect of ordinary precau-
tions. Apart, then, from the general disposition of
the working classes, which has been known for
months and years, and which is the offspring
of a variety of oppressive and unjust laws—such,
for example, as the Corn-laws--apart, then, from
that well-known disposition, this outbreak ought not
to strike terror into the public, nor add in any de-
gree to their alarm, since it was the result of the
conduct of the Magistrates. Such results cannot
be avoided by coercive laws, which would place
still more dangerous power in the hands of weak
men, and will best be avoided by diminishing their
power, or by placing it in safer hands. They warn
us to require more circumspection from the Magis-
trates, not to demand coercive laws for the people.
But we would, secondly, remind our readers,
which is for us the chief consideration, that the out-
break is really a temporary ebullition ; and we must
not allow it to make us forget the many years of
patient and submissive suffering, and of general
obedience, winch have really been, and will cer-
tainly be again, characteristic of the working
classes. A coercive law, passed on account of a

ruomentary outbreak, would be permanent ; arid
thus, to repress a temporary evil, were we to
act from the terror of the moment, we should forge
a lasting chain for liberty. There is on the one
hand, in the bulk of the people, including all
classes, a strong and permanent desire for freedom,
peace, and order, a strong and, generally speaking,
overruling, and permanent respect for property on
which the public may and must rely for the pre-
servation of the public peace, for if there were no
such strong and permanent desires, laws would be

of no more avail to preserve order than the speeches
of Colonel SIETHORP or the rhodomontade
of Mr. O'BRIEN ; and there is, on the other hand,
in all our rulers, magistrates, legislators, and persons
in authority, a strong and permanent. desire to ex-
tend and augment their power in any and every
conceivable way. They are prompted by the most
benevolent motives ; they always expect to use
their authority for the public advantage ; they ge-
nerally mean to do so, but the uprightness of their
intentions only makes them more persevering and
strenuous in augmenting their power. What hap-
pens, therefore, and what has always happened in
such cases, is this—the temporary outrage and
temporary alarm make all classes forget these ge-
neral dispositions, both in the bulk of the people
and in their Magistrates, and they hasten to de-
mand severe laws to meet this temporary circum-
stance, and so gratify the permanent desire of the
Magistrates forpower, and so forge permanent chains
for the people. Such has been the growth of bad
systems of Government in all ages. The foolish
people, by giving way to temporary alarm, become
the prey of their own fears; they permanently curtail
'their own liberty, and permanently misdirect those
strong desires for peace and order, which are in
fact the best guarantees for the safety both of life
and property.

The death of the Sultan has furnished a strong
proof of their devotion, as in this court every accession to
the throne was generally marked by a bloody reaction,
or a revolution in the Seraglio. A young Prince has
now taken the throne, of the age of about 17 years,
without its being stained with blood, and for the first
time the Seraglio will not have to strew the paths of
the:.Empirc with the people's heads.
A camp of 10,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry, is to
be formed at Fontainebleau, on the 15th of August
next, and not to break up till tE e 15th of October.
The King and Queen of the BELGIANS were ex-
pected to arrive at St. Cloud's on a vit•it this day
( Friday).

The 'Sentinelle des Pyrenees sap, " We learn that
a Commissioner from the bead-quarters of ESPARTERO
has arrived at Bayonne to receive ten millions of
reals for the army, which it i 3 said are to be embarked
in one of the steam-boats lately arrived here, and to be
sent to Amurrio."
There is no other news of any interest in the French
Journals.

" Her Majesty the Queen Regent having been informed
by her Council of Ministers that the safety of the State
imperiously demanded the suspension of the Journal called
El Guiriguay, published daily in M idrid, and conforming
entirely to the unanimous desire of her Council, her
Majesty has resolved upon ordering the publication of
the said Journal to be suspended until such time as the
Government shall be able to render an account to the
Cortes of this determination, and of the grave motives
upon which it is based.

This is a greater libel on the QUEEN'S Government
than all that ever appeared in the Guiriguay put
together. If the safety of Spain depend upon the

The death of the SULTAN, and the policy which that
event dictates the adoption of by Western Europe,
principally occupy the columns of the French journals of
Wednesday. The Journal des Debuts observes that
it is the duty of the West to protect an emp:re which
has fallen for having wished to equal it in civilivation,
and to adopt and be the tutor of the young SULTAN.
The Meseager states the question now to be—" Will
the new Sultan, AEDU LEE MEDJID, be ruled by a
Council or Regency ? If Russia's intrigues succeed in
forming a Regency composed of a small number of per-
sons, her gold will render her mistress of the Turkish
Government. But it; according to custom, by the care
of England, Austria, and France, the younc, Monarch
be directed by a numerous Divan, composed of thrty
or forty Ridjals, taken from all classes of the nation,
Russian corruption will not be able to find a place, or,
rather, to use a homely expression, the mouthful will be
too large for him." The Capitzde, the new organ of
Russia, has likewise a string of surmises based on the
assumption that Russia had as much right to sign the
Treaty of Unkiar Skelessi as France and England had
to form a quadruple alliance. But by far the most
extraordinary article in the French Journals is the
following attack upon Lord PONSONBY, our Ambassa-
dor at the Porte, which appears in the columns of the
liberal, and generally well-conducted Courrier Fran.

cats :
" The minority of the young Sultan is a favourable cir-
cumstance to settle the differences between Mahmoud and
Mehemet Ali. It is now easier to obtain for the Egyp-
tian ruler the hereditary possession of the Pachalick, with
the only reservation of the annual tribute. But this ar-
rangement is only possible in the event of its being gua-
ranteed by the Foreign Powers; and Russia, will she make
common cause with the West ? Before entering upon such
an important negociation, France has the right of asking
from England, as a proof of the good understanding of the
two Cabinets, the recal of Lerd Ponsonby. The inter-
est of England requires it as much as our own, and we
have strong reasons to believe that if the English Ambas-
sador had kept to the letter of Lord Palmerston's instruc-
tions, the conflict now in Syria would not have taken
place. Lord Ponsonby belongs to the break-neck school
of diplomatists ; he is quarrelsome, intriguing, and jealous
to an excess. His monomania consists, in despite of
the alliance existing between Fiance and England, and
which ought to be a law for their Ambassadors to act in con-
cert, in opposing Admiral Roussin for the sole object of
taking the lead. It is known by what manoeuvres Lord
Ponsonby caused the substitution of the treaty already
prepared between the Porte and the two Powers for quite
a different treaty of commerce, and which France was
weak enough subsequently to sign. If Lord Palmerston
had only taken the advice from his jougueux representa-
tive at Constantinople, he would not have expressed in
the House of Commons the opinion that the two countries
ought and would act in concert for the pacification of the
Porte. This disunion existing between Lord Ponsonby
and Admiral Roussin, which must be entirely attributed
to the fantastic character of the former, gives a great ad-
vantage to Russia. Let us hope, therefore, that the ne-
cessity will be felt to remedy the evil. The diplomatic
intervention of Europe in the affairs of the East may bring
about a military intervention, and agents who can be de-
pended upon must be on the scene of action. The influ-
ence of France and England ought not to depend at this
crisis upon so unequal and short-sighted a man as Lord
Ponsonby."
Never before, we believe, was Lord PONSONBY sup-
posed to belong to:the " break-neck school of diplo-
matists," and we have no doubt that the discovery of
the French Journalist, will excite a good deal of
merriment among his Lordship's friends. In England,
where it is supposed that his Excellency's charac-
ter was quite as well known as in France, the
prevailing impression has ever been that Lord PON-
SONBY belongs not to the " break-neck," but the " free-
and-easy,"—the " take-the-world-leisurely" school of
diplomatists ; a good-natured, easy-minded, indolent
Nobleman, who prefered at all times diplomatic dinners,
and the enjoyment of elegant society, to diplomatic
notes and closetings with formal turnip-complexioned
dragomans, and soiled Cabinet couriers. If, there-
fore, Lord PONSONBY has not pulled well in harness
with Admiral RoossiN, the cause is to be sought for not
in personal or national jealousy, but in the restlessness
of the fidgetty Frenchman, which disturbed the sedate
ruminations of his Lordship, producing occasionally
fits of that most irritable of distempers—indigestion.
It is stated in the French Papers that the SULTAN,
on his death-bed, shed tears for the Empire being so
much threatened, as well as for his son, king so young,
and surrounded with perils. He assembled the heads
of the State, and begged of them, in a most affecting
manner, to take care of the young Prince, as well as
the• regeneration of the Ottoman Empire. They all
took the oath that they would obey his desire, and serve
the young Prince with fidelity.

TILE FUNDS,
In the course of yesterday there was a prevailing opinion
among the monied interest and speculators in the Funds,
that in consequence of the Bank Directors not having ob-
tained their price for the dead weight, they would raise
the discounts to 6 per cent., but on a long discussion on
the part of the Directors, they broke up at a late hour,
without issuing any natice.
The future operations on the part of the Bank respecting
the dead weight are at present mere suggestions, and re-
ports on which no foundation can be placed.

AYLESBURY.—Mr. Cavendish, who bad started for
this borough with an almost certainty of success, has
deemed it right, in consequence of Lord Nugent having
also started upon the Liberal interest, to leave the field,

Lord
the matter is most inexplicable. He allows a Tory to
start, and does not oppose him ; but the moment that
Mr. Cavendish appeared in the field, out comes Lord
Nugent, and in truth opposes the Liberal candidate.
In such a borough as Aylesbury to fight two Reformers
to one Tory would have been madness ; and as Lord
Nugent declared to Mr. Cavendish's friends deputed to
wait upon him, " that nothing on earth should prevent
him going to the poll if Mr. Cavendish did," there was
only one course for a sincere Reformer to adopt, namely,
to withdraw from a fruitless contest. The votes that
Lord Nugent must have polled would have ensured the
return of the Tory. The electors of Aylesbury do not
forget that at the last election Lord Nugent voted for
Lord Chandos—he has now carried out that vote by
preventing Mr. Cavendish's return. The only thing
Lord Nugent can now do, if he do not beat the Tory

Wednesday a young man named George Wolfe, who has
for some time past attended at various police-offices to
defend prisoners, acting as clerk to an attorney, was
charged with obtaining sums of money from a client under
pretence of employing counsel, with intent to defraud him
of the same. It appeared that on two occasions the accused
had received of a widow named Harris sums of two guineas
to pay as a retaining fee to Mr. C. Jones, but had ne-
glected to do so, and the causes had been lost. The ex-
penses had amounted to 601. and 701. Prisoner was held
to bail to appear at the Sessions. Sir M. Wood (the
sitting Magistrate) stated. that to ensure a prosecution the
EDujbl°inß—re at last aroused
City solicitor should be directed to take up the ease.

thatnLltiche We observe
to the gross system of Grand Jury jobbing in Dublin, by
means of which such immense sums are annually levied off
the citizens. The parish of St. Michan's has taken the lead
in exposing this system, and we trust the example will be
promptly followed by the other parishes. With respect to
the job for rebuilding Newgate—the most scandalous and
profligate job ever attempted, even in this City—wo solicit
accurate information from those qualified to communicate
it. Although the jobbers have, far the present, succeeded,
a full exposure, and an effectual movement upon the part
of the citizens, may yet frustrate the scheme. -Once more
we earnestly demand correct information—Dub/in Even-

RAILWAYS IN GERMANY.—That part of the
Taunus Railway which lies between Frankfort and nochst
was opened cn the 7th instant. The first train started at
five in the morning. The two places, formerly two hours
asunder, have been brought within a distance of eight mi-
nutes ofeach other. On the same day (the 7th), the Em-
peror Ferdinand's Railway, from Vienna to Brunn, a dis-
tance of about nineteen German (eighty-five English)
miles, was opened with great solemeity.. The first train
performed the distance in a few minutes over four hours
The day appears to have beers celebrated, particularly at
Brume as a civic feast, and the tickets which had been sold,
were disposed of by the first purchasers of them at a con-
siderable advance, to those who were anxious to be able to
new eilwa) . We regret to find that the day did not pass
over without an accident. In the evening, as one of the
retureieg trains had stopped at a station to take in water,
the lecornotive engine of the train next in succession ran
into the hindmost carriage, by which means several per-
sons weee seriously hurt, though none dangerously. The
engineer, to whose carelessness the accident was attributed,
was immediately placed under arrest.
UNLICENSED BROKERS.—On Wednesday
notice was issued by the Lord Mayor, in consequence of
complaints having been made to the Court of Aldermen
that persons not duly qualified act as brokers in the City,
contrary to the statute, and to the great risk of the mer-
chants and traders employing them. By an Act passed in
the sixth year of the reign of Queen Anne it is enacted
that no person shall act as a broker within the city of
London unless he shall have been previously sworn in and
admitted by the Ccurt of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen,
" under such restrictions and limitations for their honest
and good behaviour as that Court should think fit ; "
by a subsequent Act, passed in the 57th year of the reign
of his late Majesty King George the Third, a penalty of
100/. is fixed for exercising the business without being
duly admitted. Notice has therefore been given that the
City authorities will prosecute any offenders ; and a re-
ward of 501. is offered to any one who will give evidence
against them, so as to lead to their conviction.
The Shropshire regiment of yeomanry cavalry
have been called out for service in consequence of the fires
end disturbances at Birmingham, to which place they were
ord.. red to repair. The Montgomeryshire regiments are
also ordered to hold themselves in readiness.
THE STORM.--
Yesterday, the metropolis, par-
ticularly the West-end, was visited by excessively violent
gusts of wind, accompanied with thunder, lightning, and
rain. While it was blowing a gale a lug-boat was sailing
up the river, off Execution duck, Wapping, when, in en-
deavouring to get clear of one of the Greenwich steamers,
which was going down the river at the time, the lug-boat
ran over a skiff containing four persons. The party in
the skiff was thrown overboard by the shock, the whole o
them were, however, providentially saved by the water-
men, who put off to their assistance. At times it blew a
perfect hurricane, and in
Kensington Gardens and the
three Parks considerable damage was done, and in many
instances the loss of life was narrowly escaped. Several
chimney pots in different parts of town were blown off the
roofs. In Fleet-lane, Farringdon.street, a large chimney
pot fell with a tremendous crash into the street, close to
where some children were playing, the whole of whom,
however, providentially escaped unhurt.
A REAL ABSENCE OF MIND CASE.—We
learn from the Nenagh Guardian that, during the Sessions
which are now going on in that town, a gentleman who had
a case pending, previous to its coming on, locked up a
material witness for the purpose of being certain of him
when required ; the case earns on, the witness was called,
b
concerned was- present, and wondering at the absence of
h iust
witness,
as o ,
icto
vas not
"n est ; and, though the gentleman
'not until the matter was dismissed that
he recollected baying his man under lock and key. the
case was a process case,,in which the absent gentleman was
plaintiff.
