IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, SEPTEMBER 2i.
The House met at Half-past Three o'clock, but in
consequence of the ballot upon the petition against the
return for the city of Dublin, the gallery was not opened
until nearly Half-past Four o'clock. The Committee, after
being sworn, proceeded to their room. The House was
unusually full of Memberi.
THE CASE OF MR. AND MRS. DEACLE.

Colonel EVANS presented petitions from Manchester,
Warwick, Winchester, and a place in the county of Suffolk,
praying the House to institute an investigation into the
case of Mr. and Mrs. Deanle.
MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS.

The Deputy Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the
Bit-, and summoned the House to the Bar of the House of
Lords, to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission to
various Bills. The Speaker, accompanied by a number
of 111-tubers, accordingly left the House, and on their re-
turn the former read a list of Bills (for which see our
Lords' report) to which the Royal Assent had been given.
Mr. LITTLETON presented two petitions—one from
almost ail the clergy of the Archdeaconry of Stafford, and
the other from the Clergy, chief constables, and inhatii_
tants of 13urslem, in the county of SiafforiL They stated
that very bad effects were produced from the operation of the
New Beer Bill, and prayed an investigation, with the view
of causing an alteration to be made in the law. The Hon.
Member stated that he wds not one who believed that the
new Bill had been productive of the mischiefs that had
been stated, but he thotuAt that petitions coming from
such a quarter as the Clergy, who had the best opportunity
of forming opinions upon the subject, deserved the consi-
deration of the House.

After a few words from Sir Jacob Astley, Sir R. Vy-
vyan. Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Littleton, Mr. Warburton,
Mr. Hunt, and other Members, the petitions were ordered
to he printed.

Mr. HUNT presented a petition from Huddersfieh►,
signed by nearly 4,000 persons, praying the House to take
steps to prevent prosecution . for expressing religious or po-
political opinions, and complaining of the imprisonment
of the Reverend Robert Taylor, Mr. Richard Carhie,
and Mr. Carpenter. It also complained of the proses
clitions being at the instance of a self elected society,
railed " The Society for the Suppression of Vice,"—a so-
ciety which usurped the privilege of the Attorney-General,
and which, in his (Mr. Hunt's) opinion, was a public nui-
sance. The petitio❑ prayed for the abolition of the laws
upon which the prosecutions against the persons now in
custody for expressing their 'opinions were founded, and
also fur a Bill of Indemnity, by which those persons
might be liberated.

[During the speech of the Hom Member, Lord John
Russell entered the House, and taking up the Reform Bill,
which had been lying on the table, left the House to carry
it to th, House of Lords. We should suppose, that not
less than 400 Members were in the House, but upon see-
ing the Noble Lord walk out with the Bill, a general rush
took place, and not less than SOO followed his Lordship
to the bar of the House of Lords. In less than a
minute the House (in which there had just previously been
such a buzz as could only be equalled by that which usually
prevails on the Royal Exchange shortly before the close
of business), became so quiet that a pin might almost be
heard to drop.]
• After the petition presented by Mr. HuNr had been
disposed of,
Colonel EVANS rose, in pursuance of notice, to move
for a Select Committee to inquire into the case of Mr.
and Mrs. Deacle. The Hon. Member wished to avoid
a discussion upon the subject at the present time, and he
therefore at once made the motion.
Mr. WILKS seconded the motion.
Mr. F. BARING said he would he happy in every pos-
sible way to afford every facility to the Committee.
. _

Lord ALTHORP had no doubt of the readiness of the
Hon. Member to have this care gone into, but the
whole of the particulars having been already gone into
before a judicial tribunal, he felt it his (Inv to say that an
investigation by this House would be attended with in-
convenience to the pul.lic business, and therefore he should
oppose the motion.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. HUME thought there must be some mistake in this
matter, for the Hon. Member for Thetford had expressed
his desire for the Committee on a former night. He
(Mr. Hume) thought that the matter should be
enquired into, more particularly as there was an implied
understanding the other night that this motion would
not be opposed.

Lord ALTHORP recommended the withdrawing of the
motion, with d view of remodelling it or of adjourning
the debate.

The motion was ultimately withdrawn.
WHITE-BOY ACTS.

Mr. STANLEY moved for leave to bring in a Bill to
amend the 15th end 16th of George 111., commonly
called the White-Boy Acts. The Right Hon. Gentleman
explained that his object was to change the punishment of
death, which was generally applied to off aces under the
White-Boy Acts, to the punishment of transportation.
He did not do it so much out of humanity, as from a con-
viction that it would render the Act more efficacious.
There were certain offences also punished by death if
committed by night, which were only misdemeanours if
committed by day, and he wished to apply the punishment
of transportation to both. The Right Hon. Gentleman
also gave notice that it was not his intention, considering
the present state of the session, to bring forward the Bill
for consolidating the laws relative to the importation and
possession of arms in Ireland, of which he bad previously
given notice. He meant to move, however, to revive for
the year, the Act as to keeping arms which had just ex-
pired, and next year to bring forward the Bill to consoli-
date all these laws.

Mr. O'Connell, Mr. North, Sir J. Newport, and Mr.
H. Grattan, severally expressed their concurrence in the
measure proposed.

Alter t; few words from Mr. SHAW, leave was given to
bring in the Bill.

Mr. STANLEY postponed until Thursday next his
motion for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the GraLd
Jury Laws of Ireland.

SUGAR REFINING ACT.
Mr. BURGE requested the Noble Lord to postpone the
bringing up the report on this Act until Wednesday next,
as the attendance of Members was at that moment much
too small to allow the motion on this important subject of
which he (Mr. Burge) had given notice, to receive ade-
quate consideration. He hoped, however, that, alter what
had already taken place, the Noble Lord would not persist
in pressing the Bill.
Lord ALTHORP had already declared the subject was
under inquiry, and that the Bill was to be in force for lily
one year. 'I he Government did not intend to abandon it.

The report was then postponed till Wednesday next.
IRISH REFORM BILL.

In answer to a question from Mr. NORTH, it was stated
by Mr. STANLEY, that the Government did not intend
to move the second reading of the Reform Bill until Tues-
day next.

-Mr. O'CONNELL, in consequence of this announce-
ment, subsequ.ntly postponed the call of the House from
Friday till next Tuesday.
The Inclosure Acts' Tithes' Bill was re-committed, and
several amendments being agreed to, it was ordered to be
read a third time on Monday.

PORTUGAL.
Mr. COURTENAY having complained of delay in the
production of papers ropecting Portugal, which he had
moved for three weeks aeo,

Lord PALAIERSTON said that they would be liid on
the table of the house the moment they were finished ;
but it required some time to make copies of a number of
doeuments, and to select those which were required out of
a mass of public papers.

STAMP DUTIES.
Mr. O'CONNELL moved for a return of all the pro-
secutions for a violation of the laws respecting the stamps
of newsp 'pers.— Ordered.
Mr. HUME presented a petition from Eleanor the wife
of Edward Windt's, complaining that her husband had
been persuaded by a pi-rson, who proved to be a policeman
in disguise, to sell him a copy of Berth°ld's Political
Letter; and that for this offence he hid been sentenced
to three months' imprisonment in the House of Correction
by the Magistrates of Marlborough-street.--The petition
was ordered to be printed.
Mr. HUNIE then moved for a copy of the order of
commitment.—Nlotion agreed to.
Lord POLLINGTON moved that Lord Mexborough
should be allowed leave of absence for one month, on the
ground of urgent private business.
Mr. O'CONNELL opposed the motion, as he did not
think business a sufficient apology for absence at such a
moment.—Motion withdrawn.

An HON. MEMBER then moved that Mr. Davies Gilbert
have leave of absence on the most urgent private business.

his immediate attention.
