SINGULAR BEE.HIVE.—There is now in the
garden of M. Henwood, gsq., Pinsla Park, fn the parish of
Cardinham, a rum puncheon, full of bees and honey. The
industrious insects took possession of the puncheon three years
ago, and it is now so heavy that two strong men cannot lift it.
West Britcn.
On Friday evening three youths (brothers) of the
name of Forest, sons of respectable parents residing at Chel-
sea, went to bathe in the Thames, near the Red-house, Bat-
tersea. They had not been long in the water when the eldest,
aged about seventeen years, got out of his depth, arid being
but a very indifferent swimmer, the tide, which was highland
flowing very rapidly at the time, carried him out into the.
stream ; he kept up as long as he was able, calling out to his
two brothers for assistance ; but as they were unable to swim,
they could not render it, and the unfortunate lad sank, after
'which one of the two brothers was so agonised in his feelings
that he rushed towards the spot where his brother had sunk,
and after a few ineffectual 'efforts to dive, he was about to sink
when a boat arrived on the spot and picked him up. The
other brother perished; and up to a late hour last night his
body was not found, although the arags were put in requisi-
tion immediately after the accident happened. Within, the
last week, no less than seven indivicivals, men and boys,
have been drowned in the Thames, bct:veen Vauxhall and
Battersea Bridges. The family of the youth are thrown into a
state of great affliction, by the deprivation, they have sustained.
A COSTLY SPREE.—On Tuesday morning, at
two o'clock, Mr. Raven, of Church gate, was alarmed by
bearing a noise, which he thought proceeded from an attempt
to break into his house. Ilr rose in haste, and on looking, mt..
of his window, saw three young- men toiling along the street
under heavy, oads, one of them being half smothered in a fea-
ther bed. Mr. Raven cried, " Stop thieves !" and down went
the burdens—off scampered the men. The police received
information of the suspicious occurrence, with a description of
the three fugitives, and they were captured before five o'clock.
An inquiry was set on foot, and other deeds of the night were
brought home to their door. In due time, they were taken
before a rugistrate, and the following narrative of their noc-
turnal doings came to light:—The young men had been to a
woolsorters' " suprering," and were too jovial and, rampant
when the party broke up to commit so unromantic a blunder
as that of retiring quietly to bed. They therefore, previ-
,ously, ravaged a kitchen-garden ; overthrew and broke two
grave stones or, Mr. Foster's wharf; backed a cart into the
canal ; and (having neglected to cool themselves by follow-
ing the cart) took out the window of a house in Canitun-yard
(a noted place), entered by the breach, and were making off
with " all the modern and genteel household furniture,"
when Mr. Raven left his bed, and caused them to desert their.
The valorous youths, who were omnipotent for mischief when
the field was all their own,, and., having no opponents, " sought
the bubble reputation- e'en at the cannon's Mouth," felt their
courage ooze out, and flail helter-skelter at the sound of one
snan's voice. But they were speedily in the clutches of the
Police, sad called upon, to answer to the grave eloirge of bur-
glary. Tim owner of thin furniture, on hearing their explana-
tkm, withdraw his charge, and they were liberated ; after
which, however, they had three unpleasant charges to set at
rest, namely, for damn° done in Cannon-yard, 21. ; and for
their Quixotic attack on the grave stones, vl. ; making a total
of 71. 125., independent of other expenses. Wellope that all
larking aspirents for ignoble fame, will in future rein their
ambitious desires with the reflection that when the wool-
sorters' " wits went a wool-gathering," they had to " pay dear
for their whistle."—Leicester Chronicle.

A shommker living at Lyons was lately struck with
the charms of the wife or a house-painter, his neighbour,'
who, after a fortnight's solicitations, determined to acquaint
her husband with the fact. This she did, and her husband
immediately comprehended the reason of' his rival coming every
day to his house to buy a certain movable cupboard from him.
They both determined to be revenged, and concerted measures
accordingly. The same evening the gallant arrived more gay
and more smart than ever. The wife told him that her hus-
band had gone out of town to get 200 francs paid him froth a
person who was his debtor; and. therefore, the gallant eqm-
anences his suit anew, employing by turns a little amorous
persuasion and sometimes a little gentle force. The wife re-
mined impassive, and on a sudden answered him that he had
a vtrong.smell of leather about him ; but that if he would
consent to take a bath first, then perhaps she would not say
no. The gallant agreed, and entered a tub indicated by the
fair one. While in the midst of the operation the husband re-
turned, knocked loudly at the door, and the wife persuaded
An unhappy gallant to enter, just as hi I,,as, into the
cvpboard which he bad pretended a desire to purchase. The
husband came in, cursed his stars for not liming been able to
get ,his money, and declared that the very next morning he
would carry the cupboard to his friend the shoemaker, and sell
it to biro for the 2001 r. So saying, he locked the door of it.
and put the key into his pocket. Next morning the cupboard
was carried off' to the shoemaker's door, and placed opposite
to it, while ,his wife came down stairs to iaquirc what had be-
femme of her litoband. The painter replied that' he did not
knOw, but that he brought home the cupboard which he had
bought of him for ;200fr., so saying they put the key in the
door and opened it, when, in a moment, there shot out of it
a man, quite naked, all over red, with his hair on end, who
started off like a wild beast into his own shop. His wife
called out for help, and the shop-boys came and soundly bela-
boured the poor devil until he succeeded in ,making himself
known. His punishment had been long and severe ; his bath
bad been well mixed with glue and red ochre, and the figure
of the poor shoemaker may be more easily imagined than de-
srribed. 'He has never shown his face out his shop since,

HOUSE 01: COMMONS, Jc•r.r 11.

The SPEAKER. took the Chair shortly before four o'clock.
Mr. Crafer, from the Treasury, presented papers.
Mr. HODGES brought up the Report of the Committee
on the Med►vay Navigation Bill.

Mr. MAHER moved the second reading of the Suir
Navigation Bill. •

Nii. G. BERKELEY presented a petition from Chelten-
ham, signed by 2,600 persons, complaining of and praying for;
the removal of a charge that was made on that town of
la.-extra for every newspaper and general post letter that
was delivered from the Post-pflice. The Hon. Member
considered the case of the petitioner one of great hardship,
and one which he believed existed in no other town in the
kingdom.

Mr. BARNARD said the case of the petitioners was
not at all a sinf_rular one, as it existed at Greenwich and
Deptford. •

Dr. BOWRING said that the same hardship existed it
the city of Exeter, and he thought the subject was one wel
deserving the attention of his Majesty's Government.

Sir E. CODRINGTON believed that his constituents
were in a worse situation than any of the cases alluded to ;
for, although in that town there were upwards of 10,000 in-
habitants, the delivery only extended a mile each way.

Mr. IV ALLACE could assure the House that the
statement made by thc Hon. Member for Gloucestershire
was perfectly true. This charge had been laid on by the
Postmaster• General, against the provisions of a positive
statute, and he was prepared to lay before the House three
decisions of Lord Mansfield in corroboration of the illegality
of the charge. He understood, however, that these charges
were to be taken off.—(Hear, hear.) It was to be removed
from newspapers, and it was not likely that it would be al-
lowed to be superadded on general post bills.
Mr. WILKS said that if the Hon. Member for South-
ampton had not given notice of his intention to bring the
subject before the House, he (Mr. Wilks) should have
felt it his duty to do so. It was a singular anomaly that whilst
one-half of the town of Southampton paid a penny, the other
paid nothing.

Lord ACHESON could not allow the Bill to be read
a third time without entering hit protest against it. Since
the present Bill was introduced, a new Company had been
-established, for the purpose of forming a line of Railway
from Dublin to Armagh, and as this line would be one of
much greater public utility, he thought it should be pre-
ferred. He would not, however, take the sense of the
Ilonse upon it.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
BIRMINGHAM :AND DERBY JUNCTION
•• RAILWAY.

Sir ROBERT PEEL presented a petition from certain
shareholders of this railway, against a Bill now before Par,
liament for the remission of tolls on railways. He thought
it of great importance that a day S6uld be named, on which
the sense of the House should be taken, because it was keeping
in great suspense parties who had money to embark in these
speculiitions. The present was the case of a Bill which had al-
ready passed, and was a direct interference with vested rights.
—( Hear, hear.) He (Sir R. Peel) would feel it his duty.=
principle to object to the measure—(Hear, hear)—and he
hoped the Right Hon., the Vice-President of the Board of
Trade, would state what the intentions of Government were
with respect to that Bill ?
Mr. LABOUCHERE, in the absence of his Right
Hon. Friend, could only say, that he believed it was the
intention of the Hon. Member to persevere with his Bill,
but he could not say what was the intention of the Go-
vernment upon the subject.
Mr. HAWES understood the Bill was fixed for the
second reading that evening, and it was most important
that the opinion of Government upon the subject should be
known.
Mr. ROBINSON said his constituents took a deep
interest in the questibn, and without entering upon its
merits, he would merely observe, that all they wanted to
know was what the intentions of the Government were.
It was rather extraordinary' that upon, a question of such
importance the Government had not made up their minds ;
the 'consequence' of which was, that a large amount of
capital was paralysed, and extensive operations, in which
the public were deeply interested, suspended.
Mr. LABOUCHERE explained—The Hon. Member
misunderstood him, if he supposed that he (Mr. L.) had
stated that the Government had not made up their minds.
He was satisfied that when the Bill was before the House
the Government would be prepared to state what course it
meant to pursue; but he could not take upon himself to state
what that would be in the absence of his Right Hon. Friend.
Mr. HAWES wished to ask whether, as Tuesdays were
set apart for the discussion of Railway Bills, to-morrow
might not be devoted to the discussion of this Bill ? It
related to railroads, and it would be a great public conve-
nience to have the question settled.
Mr. O'CONNELL said this Bill created alarm in every
part of the empire—the more especially as being brought
forward at this period, for many Bills bad already passed,
and, of course, the interest in these was vested, and the Bill
could not be made retrospective—it would, therefore, be
unjust to fix it upon those in progress. He hoped
the Hon. Member who had charge of the Bill, and who was
acting openly, fairly, and honestly, would re-consider his
plan, and withdraw the Bill for the present.
Sir ROBERT PRICE was not prepared to support the
Bill, but he thought there was a necessity for some such
measure.
Mr. M. PHILLIPS agreed with the Hon. Baronet
(Sir R. Peel). He hoped the debate would take place as
early as possible, so that the public might know how to
employ their capital. A great deal of capital was laid out in
canals ; and, upon inquiry, it would be found that no inor-
dinate profit had arisen from them.
IRISH CHURCH.

On' the Order of the Day being moved for the bringing
up of the Report of the Committee on the Irish Church Bill,
Mr. CLAY said that he had expected to have had an
opportunity this evening of bringing forward his motion re-
specting the Danish Claims ; as, however, he could not do
so that evening, be wished to know when he would be
enabled to do so ?
Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say that an op-
portunity would be afforded to the Hon. Member, if the
business of the House would admit of it, to bring forwai'd
the subejct on Friday next.
Mr. CLAY then gave notice that on moving the first
Order of the Day on Friday next he would bring forward
the subject.
Mr. BERNAL then brought up the Report of the Com-
mittee on the Irish Otiurch Bill.

Sir J. GRAHAM said that he perceived that some al-
terations of importance had been made in this Bill,
affecting the quantity of surplus after supplying the wants
of the Irish Church. He found that it-I'one instance
the minimum had been raised from 1001. to 1501. ; and
in another instance from 2001. to 2501. There had been
also some alterations in the estimates of the income of
the beneficed Clergy, on which he wished to hear some ex-
planation frtim the Noble Lord opposite, Lord Morpeth.
Lord MORPETH stated in reply, that he had made
the alterations to which the Right Hon. Baronet had ad-
verted. He had increased the mini/nu/7z in consequence of
the objections that had been made by the other side, but
it would in no degree diminish the surplus.—(Hear, hear.)
Whatever amount of glebe land might be allotted, it would
be free of rent. The Noble Lord then moved that the
Bill be printed, and read a third time on Friday.
Mr. GOULBURN said that a Bill had been read
a first time the other night before 'he could know what
the subject of it was. He bad had no opportunity
of knowing the nature of the Bill until it had been sent to
him. It struck him to be as extraordinary a Bill as was
ever laid pn the table. Was it to be endured that a tithe
should be abolisfied, without stating there was to be a com-
pensation or valuation made of what the tithe was that was
to be abolished, merely because it was difficult to give a
reason why the personal tithe should be abolished ? This
was the only Rll he had ever seen without a preamble.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL bad no doubt the Right Hon.
Gentleman took a great interest in questions of this nature,
but certainly the Right Hon. Gentleman had not spoken
while a long discussion took place upon the subject. The
opinion of the House upon a late occasion almost universally
was, that personal tithes were a very great oppression, that
they could not be collected, and that they ought not to
remain any longer.—(Hear, hear.) He was quite willing,
if it would be satisfactory to the Right Hon. Gentleman,
to introduce a preamble stating—" Whereas it was expe-
dient that personal tithes should be abolished, and so on."—
(Hear, hear, and laughter.)
Mr. GOULBURN thought, if the Noble Lord would
make a little inquiry, he would find that personal tithes
formed a great part of the property of the clergy.—( Hear,
hear.) He believed the tithe could be collected ; if not,
there was no
,neeessity for introducing the Bill, but he con-
sidered it was but just, if the tithe were to be abolished, that
some compensation should be made. He should take an
objection to abolishing any kind of tithe abdolutely.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL believed the only per-
sonal tithe that would be abolished by the Bill was the
tithes on labour.--( Hear.) He believed that by law they
might be collected, but to the honour of the clergy, except
in very rare instances, such a tithe had not been insisted
upon.(Hear, hear.) With regard to the preamble,
there had been a series of Bills passed, had received the
Royal Assent, and had been made the law of the laud
without any preamble whatever having been attached to
them.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that it was in consequence
of a motion he. had made, that the House came to
the determination that personal tithes should be abo-
lished, and it was in consequence of that determination
the Noble Lord had brought in the Bill. The Right Hon.
Gentleman had asked what reason there was for abolishing
the tithe. On the evening he had brought forward the
motion, he could only find one instance in which the tithe
had' been demanded, and that was a case in Yorkshire,
where a clergyman had endeavoured to exact four shil-
lings and four pence from a day-labourer, and that
day labourer had been committed to prison for three months
by,a brother magistrate. He was sorry the Noble Lord's
Bill did not go further, and do away with tithes on fish,
because that was a description of tithe that ought equally
to 1;0 abolished.—(Hear, hear.) Easter offerings were ori-
ginally intended in lieu of personal tithes.

The House then resolved itself into Committee on. the
Bill ; the amendments were agreed to, when the. House
resumed,
EMIGRATION.—VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.

Mr. WALTER, in pursuance of a notice that on an
Order of the Day being read, he should submit a motion
on tlio subject of Emigration to Van Di,emen's Land,
after some observations on the system pursued by the
Emigration Committee, which the remote position of the
lion. Member prevented our hearing—Mr. Walter pro-
ceeded to read some extracts from a Hobart Town Paper
i,f. February last, complaining of the tender age of
the females who ilaa been sent out, and represent-
ing the difficulty of procuring them situations. As
110 wonld not have the benefit, of a reply, ho would pro-
ceed to notiao some of the objections which might be urged
against them. Some gentlemen connected with property
in that country might allUde to the testimony which
had been given before them, but be (Mr. W.) would not
receive any evidence unless it were most strictly examined.
and sifted. Others might refer to the Reports of Com-
mis4ioners and Committees ; but he would pay very little

the English Report, which was most fallactous.:77(Hear,)
'l he Report from the parish of Chordeley (as we under-
stood) pude such an impression upon him, that he went'
down l;st autumn, in order to inspect the place, was
true that the parish was ate 'op' by the Otes, hot what
would the House think when hp informed. them that the
whole parish consisted of not more thin', two 'fermi

of fifty acres each,

and forty-four acres

in the

parish was waste Lend?- He would now -be very
.aiutious of receiving the Reports of Commissions generally
without examination. If the facts which he had stated
could be controverted, he hoped that such an opportunity
would be afforded ; but he thought it his duty to lay them
before the House, in the hope that they would be investi—
gated. The motion with which he would conclude was for
au 'humble address to his Majesty, that he Would be
graciously pleased to issue orders to the effect, that certain
circulars which had been sent to different Postmasters, and/
to Clergymen of the Established Church, detailing the
advantages of emigration, might be withdrawn, and that the
Secretary of State be directed to ascertain by whose autho-
rity such circulars had been issued
Mr. WA K LEY seconded the motion.
Sir G. GREY had already stated that these circulars giving
publicity to the advantages of emigration to New South
Wales had been circulated without authority. He felt it his
duty to give this motion his humble opposition. He hoped
that the people of England would not take their idea of the
advantages or disadvantage of emigration from the state-
ment of the Hon. Member for Berkshire, or from the
anonymous paragraphs that appeared in some of the news-
papers on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) He believed
that emigration, wisely and prudently conducted, would lead
to the general advantages of emigrants from this country.
The Hon. Member in place of collecting - his information
from newspaper paragraphs, ought to refer to tile papers of
that House.—(Hear.) It was not be wondered at that out
of so many some of the females* should turn out badly.
The whole subject had, however, been taken up in the
proper quarter—namely, by the Colonies themselves.
Much good had been done already, and much more would
no doubt be accomplished: He, therefore, hoped the
statements of the Hon. Member would be received with
great caution by the House.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. CHARLES LUSHINGTON hoped the House
would allow him to give some explanation in reference to
the statement which had been made by the Hon. Member
for Berkshire. - He (Mr. Lushington) had been a member
of the Emigration Committee from its origin to the present
time, and he was competent to give every information to
the House respecting its proceedings. In order to obviate
the inconvenience of a preponderance of males, which
existed in the col'ony, a bounty was offered by the Govern-
ment to encourage the emigration of young females, and that
system had been found productive of great temptation,
seduction, and frightful excesses, and a Committee of gen-
tlemen offered their services to promote the object.
The Hon. Member here alluded to the various Members
of the Committee, the characters of all of whom were, he
would assert above suspicion. He would beg to read an
extract from the letter of a clergyman of the Church of
England (the Rev. Mr. Knight, of Torbay,) with reference
to one of the last vessels of the Committee. He stated
that he had been often on board, and testified to the respect-
ability of the females, and the good order observed by them.
The Hon. Gentleman had stated that' no less than two-
thirds of the females that were imported into Sydney
had followed licentious courses. The fact was they were
contaminated by the vices of one of the most aban-
doned and dissolute colonies belonging to his Majes-
ty's dominions. And to prove this, the Hon:Gentleman
read an extract from the charge of the Chief Justice
to the Jury at the close of the Session of 1835. Then ,it
had been stated that this vice and debauchery were con-
fined to the lower orders—that was not the , case.
The Honourable Baronet opposite would bear him out
when he asserted that a gentleman holding a judicial
situation in the Colony of Sydney had been removed from
that situation, because he had passed -himself off as an unmar-
ried man, and had endeavoured to seduce a female, who had
arrived by one of the vessels. The Hon. Gentleman con-
cluded by stating he had no favouriteview to carry into effect;
his sole wish was to promote that cause which was
the cause of truth, humanity and virtue.—(Hear, hear.)
The motion was then negatived without a division.
COUNTY ELECTIONS.

The House then went into Committee on the County
Elections Poll Bill.

Mr. GOULBURN thought the Bill would increase the
expenses of county elections, as many more agents would
be rendered necessary which would cost more than would
be saved in the conveyance of voters. Another objection
was, that the poll might be kept open till six o'clock. _ _

Lord J. RUSSELL could not but think that it would
be a very great advantage to have the poll taken in one
day. From the experience they had of the present system,
be was quite sure that there was abundance of time for tak-
ing it. As to the. objection of shortening the time of an
election to one day, the same objection might be urged for
lessening the time of an election from 15 days to two.
Mr. FOSTER suggested that when there were contests
in adjoining counties, the election ought not to take place
the same day.
Mr. PRYME thought the loss of a single vote would be
a very trifling one when compared with the advantages to
be derived from the proposed change.
Mr. BAINES remarked that even under the present
system, persons could be easily polled in the one day.
Mr. J. E. DENISON was decidedly in favour of the
poll being taken in one flay.

- Sir IC PEEL considered that no evils had followed
from the two day's polling ; no valid reason had been given
for the change.—( Hear, hear.)
Viscount HOWICK thought that the Right Hon.
Baronet never had the misfortune of standing for a county.
—(Hear, hear.) If he had, he would not have said that
there was no solid reason for the change.—(Hear, hear.)
There was a vast difference to the candidate between a
great number of polling places, to be closed in one day,
and the poll being kept up for a great number of days.—
( Hear.) He did not see that closing the poll in one day
was likely to increase the power of the landlords any more
than giving an opportunity to the intimidation of the mob.
After a few words from Mr. GORING and Mr.
LOWTHER,

Mr. HEATHCOTE observed that by the Reform Bill
a person could have a vote in the borough and in the
county, and yet a person who had property in two different
counties could not, by this Bill, have a vote.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposed that the hour for
closing the poll should be changed from six to five o'clock.
Mr. FORSTER thought that would be no advantage.

MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS ACT AMEND.

MENT BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought
up the Report of the Committee appointed to- draw up
reasons for disagreeing from some of the Lords' amend-
ments to this Bill.

The reasons having been read by the Clerk at the table,
a Conference was appointed to take place to morrow on the
subject.

STAMP DUTIES BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then
moved the Order of the Day for the further consideration
,of the Report on the Stamp Duties Bill.
Mr. WAKLEY opposed the motion, on the ground that
the order was the 22d on the list, and he knew that there
were several Hon. Members who were anxious to take part
in the discussion of this subject, but who had no idea that,
it would come on this evening. He trusted; therefore, that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer would consent, as an act
of courtesy, to postpone the matter till to-morrow. It;
however, the Bill was persisted in at present, opposed to it
as he was in principle, and in most of its details, he should,
though with very great pain, feel himself compelled to di-
vide the House upon almost every clause.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER de-
fended the principle of the Bill, and denied the assertion
made at different times both in the House and out of it,
that it was intended to impose additional restraints upon
the freedom of the Press. He denied that assertion in the
most unqualified manner ; but at the sable time he would
state that he could never consent to ask the House to im-
pose a lower duty upon Newspapers than. that which had
hitherto existed, unless coupled with the 'means and the de-
termination on the part of the Government of enforcing the
payment of that duty. If the clauses of the Bill op
peared to be incorrectly framed for , the object which
they had in view, he was quite ready to go into the consi-
deration with every desire to amend them where necessary.
But if the Hon. Member for Finsbury objected to the
motion upon principle, that was an objection fatal to the
whole measure of relief which he (the Chancellor of the
Exchequer) and his friends had in view, and he
would certainly not consent to make himself account-
able for the disappointment which would accrue to the
public from the postponement of this question. The
public, and particularly the proprietors of the News-
paper Press, had already complained that tho new
arrangement had been postponed beyond the period
in the first instance announced, namely, the Ist of July ;
and when he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was
pressed to state when he would be prepared to forward
the measure through the House, he replied that it was his
intention to bring it on to-night. An announcement to
that effect was made by his Noble Friend the Home Se-
cretary on Friday, and also by himself, so he did not think
that any Gentleman present had a right to get up and say,
that he had been taken by surprise on this occasion.
Mr. O'CONNELL had certainly understood that it was
the intemtion of Government to no on to-night lyio this
