HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four
o'Clock. . .. _ .

Mr. 'MACKENZIE presented a petition from Aber-
deen, complaining of the Aberdeen Harbour Bill, and
praying to be heard by Counsel against certain parts of
that Bill.
Oa the motion of Mr. ESTCOURT, the British Mu-
seum Building Bill was read a third time and passed.
Mr. ESTCOURT moved that the Standing Order
No. 12 should be repealed, and that the following should
be instituted in place :—That no postponement of the first
meeting of any Committee on a Private Bill, or a petition
for a Private Bill, shall take place unless notice be given
in the Private Bill Office and in the Committee Clerk's
Office one clear day before the time timed for such meeting.
Sir E. WiLmoT thought it would be for the convenience
of all parties if the Committee, when a selected Member
did not attend, had the power to nominate another in his
room. The Committee in which he was to sat to-day
was obliged to adjourn, in consequence of the non-attend-
ance of a selected number, which might have been avoided
if another Member might have been chosen.
Sir T. D. ACLAND said that a similar occurrence had
taken place that day, in the Collumpton Roads Bill.
Mr. SEIANV LEFE VRE hoped the Committee of Se•
lection would not be blamed, ss no neglect had been com-
mitted on their part. They had sent notes to Members
selected, requesting to know whether they could attend

or not.
Sir J. Y. BULLER thought a little more time ought
to be given in sending out the notice.
The motion was then agreed to.
On the motion of Mr. Alderman TIIONIPSON, the
Wearmouth and Tyne Bridge Road Biil was read a third
time and passed.
Sir E. KNATCIIBULL presented a petition from dif-
ferent parishes in Kent, in favour of the South-Eastern
Railway Bill.
Sir EDWARD FILMER presented petitions in favour
of an alteration of the line of the South-Eastern Railway
Bill.

The Perth Harbour and Navigation Bill was read a third
time and passed.

CHURCH RA TES.

Yesterday a meeting of the Baptists' Union, representing
1 by their ministers and delerratis four hundred and fifty-five
associated Churches, compris,d of Gi),884 members, was
tiaid in Now Park-street Chapel, Borough, at which the
Kay. T. Swan, of Birmingham, presided.
sifter some ordinary routine business had been attended
tn, the CIIAIRMAN Called Upon
The Rev. Dr. PRICE, of Hackney, to move the adoption
of certain resolutions, Cie last of which called upon the
Loettmg to declare, that all legislation in matters of reli-
gion was ipso facto irival:d, and urged upon the meeting
the itapertance of pledging themselves to refuse the pay_
Went of Church-rates whenever they were demanded.
The Roe. Gentleman then addressed the ineetinv, and
was followed by the Rev. Mr. Weary of Great Alissen-
den, who seconded the resolutions. After a lengthened
discusaion, in which many of the Delegates took part, and
for which we regret we cannot find room,
WNI. ‘VATSOti, jun., Esq., moved, as an amendment,
that the last clause b:1 omitted. As a professional man,
he argued that when a Church-rate had been made, resist-
a,ice to it was illegal, aid that the Quakers would hays
acted a more consistent part, if, instead of refusing to pay
the rats when levied, they had come forward and resisted
its being imposed in the Vestry.
The Rev. Ilowaati HINTON briefly seconded the
amendment.

A division took place, when there appeared—
For tho amendmeut

The original motion of curse was lost.
Aftoer some further resolutions, condemnatory of the
renduct pursued towards the apprentices in Jamaica, and
denunciations of the crime of slavery in America, the
meeting separated.

EXECUTION THIS MORNING.

tence of the law in the front of Newgate, tor tilt) inUrder
of his fellow servant at Chelsea. Soon after six o'clock, the
Rev. Mr. Cinver, the recently appointed Ordinary, arrived
at the prittki, but the convict had been long riSen from his
couch, having had several hours apparently sound slumber.
After a desultory conversation of a spiritual kind, the unhappy
youth partook of the Sacrament. About a quarter to eight the
Sheriff's, Alderman White, and a few other gentlemen were
admitted to the room in which the convict had beer. confined
since his conviction. The Under Sheriff inquired whether he
had any further statement to make, he replied in the negative.
While the executioner was pinioning his arms and wrists, he
stood with astonishing firmness, and conversed freely with those
around him ; when the prison bell sounded the first knell, it had
the effect of an electric stroke on his frame, but it was momeri-
tary. The procession shortly moved through the avenue to the
fatal scaffold, the Ordinary reading portions from the burial
service. When the prisoner reached the scaffold he
gave a glance around him at the crowd by which he
wan surrounded. The courage of the youth now ap-
peared to diminish, and he reeled its a stinting posi-
tion. The executioner performed his awful duty with
celerity, and the culprit had not been exposed to public gaze
more than a minute before the bolt was withdrawn, and, after
a few struggles, he ceased to live. There were some artists in
attendance for the purpose of taking a cast of the malefactor
after hanging the usual time. A female applied to have her
neck rubbed with the "dead hand" to cure a tumour, but if
the migh.y cure was attempted it was not done in public.

SHOOTING OR HUNTING BOX, WITH EXTENSIVE

Before Mr. Robins ventures upon his fearfully difficult task, he
may well ask for a little forbearance with a kind public, in not
criticising too earnestly or too severely this, his first essay as connected
with an attempt to describe a splendid estate so nearlyallied to
THE CLASSIC CITY OF ATHENS,
and so far removed from the usual sphere of his vocations—the city and
its vast renown he may safely leave to those who are well read in
the history of Greece ; his task, fortunately, is only to give in
the language of truth, however imperfectly told, an unpretending
description of the property under review. As it would require
the pen of the immortal Byron to do it adequate justice, the
writer may be well excused for approaching it with fear and
trembling; he will however venture only at a round, un-
varnished tale, leaving to the imaginative powers of those who seek
such a splendid repose, to fill up the vast, immeasurable space, which
his feeble effort must leave unaccomplished. The Villa may be
thus succinctly described : It is suited to a family not very large,
but whose minds are embued with reminiscences of the glory of this
once famed city.

WAR IN THE EAST.

ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 19.—The special Envoy of the
French Government, Captain Callier, has arrived here,
and has been most favourably received by Mehemet Ali,
wh has assLr'd him that he neither intends to commit, nor
bas he committed any act of aggression, notwithstanding
the artasrerating conduct of the Sultan) and the advance
Hafiz Pacha, in spite of the repeated assur-nces of the
Porte that no hostilities were thought of. Of the success
of the Pacha's troops no doubt is here entertained. Every
thing has been done by the Turkish Commander to excite
revolt, but with little success in the Syrian villages. We
know this is a very perilous game, for Mehemet Ali will
undoubtedly insurrectionize Albania and Rounielia against
the Porte unless the Sultan be restrained, and made to re-
spect his treaties with the Viceroy. The only military affair
which has hitherto taken place, was an attack by the Turkish
cavalry on Ibrahim Pacha's advanced guard of Bedouins, who
retreated, after causing to the Turks a much larger loss
than they themselves experienced. But this attack has ex-
cited the warlike passions of Ibrahim, and he has ordered
his troops to move. If the letters of which Captain Callier
is the bea-er arrive in time, Ibrahim will stop and wait the
effects of the pacific interpo.ition of the Powers; but
should any other movement have been made by Hafiz Pacha.
or should his troops not recross the frontier, Ibrahim has
determined on a general attack, and he will march on
Orfa and Diarbekir. Should the Turkish army have been
defeated, Ibrahim is instructed to occupy the ground he
has conquered, but not to advance farther. A correspond-
ence, has taken place between Ibrahim and Hafiz Pacha
in which Ibrahim reports various acts of aggression and
invasion, particularly the entry of the Turks into Ai. t b,
and asks how they zre to be reconciled with the pacific (le
clerations of the Porte to the Allied Powers Hafiz
Pacha's answer is a curious document, requiring Ibrahim's
submission "to our benefactor, the benefactor of the
world—the omnipotent and all honoured Lord, the Sultan,
whose body, he prays, may be preserved as long as the
world shall endure, and whose shadow protects all who
serve him." lie says that some of his spahis having lost
their horses, had wandered in pursuit of them to a plain
between Aintab and Bir, and there they were attacked by
the Arabs, upon which he found it "necessary to use re-
pris i 1,," but he offers no justification for invading the Sy-
rian frontier. Cone-half of the Egyptian fleet left on the
14th, the rest on the 15th, for the coast of Syria. The
European Consuls have unanimously reported to their
Governments that the Sultan has been the undoubted ag-
gressor.

LADY FLORA HASTINGS.

Lady Flora Hastings, Lady of the Bedchamber to her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, was born on the
11th of February, 1806, and was the eldest child of Fran-
cis, second Earl of Moira, K. G., K. C. G. Lady Flora
has left a mother, brother, and two-sisters.
On Friday evening, at the express wish of the Marquis
of Hastings, there was a post modem examination in order
to remove any erroneous impression as to the cause of her
Ladyship's decease, Sir A. Cooper, Sir B. Brodie, D .
Chambers, and Dr. Holland, were present. Sir Benjamin
Brodie was the officiating surgeon. Her Ladyship
died from an enlargement of the liver, which
pressing downwards, produced an enlargement of
the ibdomen and internal inflamation. The mortal
remains of the deceased are to be removed
'froth the palace •on Tuesday next, and will from
thence be conveyed for interment in the family vault at
Loudon. The Marquis of Hastings intends to accompany
the remains of his sister to Scotland. It is the etiquette
. of Cie Court that when any member of the household dies
wi:l,in the p3lace, the body shall be removed within twenty-
four hours ; but in this case that etiquette will be dispensed
with. The, Dowager. Marchioness of Hastings is in an
infirm state of health at Loudon Castle.
The utmost observance of respect is paid by her Ma-
jesty, as also the inferior inmates of the Palace, to the re-
mains of Lady Flora Hastings. Immediately after her
Majesty had risen on Friday mottling, she inquired in the
most earnest manner after the situation of Lady Flora, and
when the melancholy tidings of her death was announced,
her Majesty's emotion at the lamentable event was intense.
Though her Majesty is in the constant habit of going to
the Opera House, especially on Saturday evening, yester-
day she declined, and did not even take her usual airing.
Her Majesty has also expressed her intention of not going
to the Chapel Royal, St. James's, this day, but will attend
divine service privately in the chapel attached to the
Pal ace. Observer.

" This is not only a very entertaining volume, but it contains
also much practical information. The writer is a plain narrator
of facts which came under his own immediate observation."—

" No greater service can be rendered to persons about to
emigrate to Australia than to peruse the valuable information
this volume contains respecting the actual condition and feelings
of those already located in that part of the world."—Sun.
" Mr. Leigh appears to be a candid and impartial writer, and
his statement is a narrative of facts, not the theory of a visionary
speculator. The work is more than amusing ; and we can re-
commend it, as containing much excellent advice to such as
have an intention of emigrating.—Era.

COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 20.
NOKES V. WAUTON.

This case came before the Court upon motion to-day,
for the purpose of disehargin g the order pronounced
by his Honour the Vice-Chani.tellor yestarklay,dissolvi„og
an injunction, with costs, which had been granted on
Saturday, restraining the defendant from selling 'Pope's
Villa, at Twickenham.
The LORD CfIANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the
arguments, directed the injunction to continue, on the
plaintiffs undertaking to pay to the defendant the money
due to him on or before the 9- 9th of ebe present month.
As to the costs his Lordship would give his opinion to-
morrow (this day).

SLATER V. SEATER..
The further arguments in this case occupied the
Court the remainder of the day. The principal ques-
tion in the case was as to the legitimacy of a person
named John Slater, it being alleg ed that his father and
his mother, Agnes Austin, were ; ;ever married.
The reading of the evidence, which is very volumi-
nous, had not concluded when hiss'Lordship rose at half-
past four o'clock,

SECONDARIES' COI IRT, Dsc. 21.
PRACTICE OF TIE COURT.
On a case being called on i n which Mr. Humfrey
appeared for the defendant, the plaintiff's Counsel was
not present in Court, and the :Learned Secondary said
that, according to the rule of t'ne Court, the plaintiff was
entitled to have the cause deft aTed until one o'clock, as
the process issued directed 'lle inquiry to take place
between the hours of eleven a nd one, and it had always
been the practice of the Court . to wait for an hour.
Mr. HUMFREY said that tl• le case he was engaged in
was a writ of trial.

The SECONDARY—The IN mc tie° in this Court is the
same in every case.

Mr. HUMFREY said that. in no other Court was such
a practice pursued. In the: Sht !riff's Court, for instance,
Mr. Sergeant Arabia, if a plaintiff were not ready,
would direct the cause tv be :struck out. •
The SECONDARY said he could not alter the rule of
the Court without notice. He was not prepared to
say that in cases of writs or trial the rule was a good
one, but it would not bo ;bt to alter it without giving
proper notice.
