Last night Mr. C. N. PALLMER brought in
a Bill for the erection of a new Bridge at Lambeth, which
was read a first time.
Sir EDWARD B. SUGDEN'S very important
Bill for reformins Chancery ptacties, with throe other
Bills introduced by the Learned Souctroa-GanzaAL
were yesterday brought up from the Commons to the Lords
The silence of Mr. BROUGHAm in the debate
on Sir CHARLIS Wzruxunt,t's motion has been con-
strued us indicative of that Learned Glade:mita not feeling
very warmly in favour of the prosecution, is which he
was either complimented with, or constrained as a King's
Counsel, to hold a brief.—Morning Herald.
The " call of the House" for the 16th inst.
was last night ordered, on the motion of Sir R. VTYYAI4 ; it
was moved and carried without any observations bring
made on it.
Lord PALMERSTON has stated that he will
bring forward his motion on the subject of Portugal on
Wednesday next, and not on Thursday, as was erroneously
mentioned in the votes of the House. His Lordship added
that he was aware it was an unusual day to lining for-
ward a motion on which debate might arise.
The exact words of Mr. O'CoNNELL's notice
on the subject of Reform, as entered in the Notice Book
are : —for " a Bill for the effectual and Radical Reform of
abuses in the state of the representation of the peoplo in
the Commons House of Parliament."
Lord LOWTHER will on Monday apply for
leave to bring in a Bill for the removal of the Hay and
Straw Market to Cumberland-market, which is between
the Regent's Park and Camden Town-road. A..nsore va-
luable alteration, as far as public convenient.* is concerned
in the neighbourhood of Pall-mall, could not be made; but,
except the name of the present Haymarket be altered, it
will, like " Curn"-hill, bear a title with which its use is
no longer concerned,
Among the papers lately printed by order of
Parliament are two Reports from Mr. Game, Superin-
dent of the Hulks, on board of which convicts under
sentence of transportation are kept at work. These hulks,
ten in number, are stationed respectively at Portsmouth,
Sheerness, Chatham, Woolwich, Plymouth, and Deptford.
The number of convicts on board was, on the Ist of
January last, 4,250, many of whom are under the age of
twenty. A registry is kept of the labour performed by
these men, and entries of its eetintated worth are regu-
larly made in the office-books. A small number, rated as
artificers, are considered to earn Is. 9d. a day ; but the
great majority being employed as labourer*, Are considered
as worth only is. 3d. a day. Yet, moderate as is this esti-
mate of the value of their work, the arrionnt, nt the end of
a year or half year, is not greatly short of the total of their
expense. Thus in the first six months of last year the
earnings of the convicts in throe ten hulks amou.ated
to
31,6461. ; the total expense, incleding Supeomitendent's
salary, was 37,626/. These statesneuts are. followed by
short reports from the different chaplains, at the hulks on
the conduct of the convicts, as regard* attendance at public
worship, and their moral behaviour generally. The chap-
lains, eight in number, report in general favourably, adding,
however, that the orderly conduct of the prisoners id,
doubtless, less a consequence of moral improvement than
of the discipline in which they are kept, The boys are
kept separate from the men, and are made to attend during
certain hours at school. At Bermuda there are three
convict-ships, and the number of men confined on board is
above 1,000. The proportion of earnings to expense is
here nearly the same—vis. 13,000/. earnings to 16,3004
expense, for a period of six months.

Several of the Chancery prisoners have al.
ready been discharged ; among others Pies:imp:a " the
Rebel," and Locxri4r., the old wittier under the Duke
of Yonx.

COLVNIRUS'S APPEARANCE AT COURT.---.
" He arrived before Granada, in tinte to witness the nits.
inorable surrender of that °alpha'. to the Spanish arms,
He beheld 130Annu. aL Cifico, the last of tlko Aluoris4
Kings, sally forth from the Alhambra, and yiehl up the
keys of that favourite seat of Maslem -power ; the,
KING and Qt!TEN, With all the chivaliy and magnifive;ms
of Spain, moved forward 4.1 proud anti sdemn procession,
to receive this token of submission. It was otle of the
most brilliant: tzlinuphs in Spanish history. The air re-
s„und,,ti with tibOt!ts of joy, with songs of ttiumph and itymag of thanksgiving. Oa every ks",de were beheld mill.
toy teicirings anti religious The Court wirer throng-ed by the most illustvions of that warlike countipits
and stirring, era; by the flowery of its nobility, the most
dignified of its prelacy, by bards and minstrels, and all the
retinue of a toruantii, and pictimoNne age. Daring this
brill'Aant and triumphant scene, says an 'elegant Spanish
writer,--' A man, obscure and but huh!, known, followed
the Court. Confounded in the crowd of importunate up.
plicatits, and feeding his imag:iaation in the corners of
antechambers, with the pompous project of discovering a
world, he w..ot melancholy and dejected in the midst of the
neral rejoicing, and beheld with indifference, almost with
the conclusion of a conquest which swelled all
sews with jubilee, and seemed to have reached the ut-
lost bounds of desire. That man was CHRISTOPHER.
