PATENTS.

Colonel THOMPSON presented a petition from John
Henry Marsh, stating, that from a period so long back as
1793, he had made great improvements in the construction
of ships and vessels ; but that he had been prevented from
promulgating them to the extent he was inclined to do,
through poverty, and the want of ability to meet the ex-
penses of a patent. He prayed that the patent rate might
be so reduced, so as to put it in the power of any inventor
to obtain a patent at a small expense.

PRISONER'S COUNSEL BILL.

The Duke of RICHMOND moved the insertion of a clause
in the Bill allowing all prisoners copies of the examination of
the witnesses, upon whose evidence they were detained, at
the rate of three halfpence per folio.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that in consequence
of what had fallen from a Noble Lord on a late occasion he
had written to Sir F. Roe, the head magistrate at Bow-street,
who stated that it was not the practice in the metropolis to
take any depositions in the absence of the prisoner•.
The clause was then agreed to.
MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (AMENDMENT)
ACT.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that the House
agree to the Commons' amendments to this Bill.
Upon the amendment relating to the manner in which the
casting vote in Corporations should be given a discussion arose,
in which the Duke of Wellington, Lord Ellenborough, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, the Lord Chancellor, Lords Lynd-
hurst, \Vharncliffe, and the Earl of Devon took part.
Upon the question that this amendment of the Commons be
agreed to, the House divided—

The Lord CH A&CE LLOR, proposed to their Lordships
to postpone the consideration of the next clause, regarding
charitable trustees, for a few days ; because any discussion
or decision upon that must be entirely useless, in case they
should consent to adopt the provisions of a general measure
upon the subject, which he believed would be brought from
the other House to-morrow. lie asked them to defer the
consideration of this clause until they had decided upon that
other Bill.

Lord LYNDHURST could see no necessity for the sug-
gestion of the Noble Lord, because clause itself contained
a proviso to this effect :—" Unless Parliament shall other-
wise provide." He (Lord Lyndhurst) should suggest to the
House to adhere to their original proposal; and to pass the
clause, as they had previously passed it ; then if any other
Bill should subsequently be agreed to; that would, of course,
by reason of the proviso which lie had read, supersede the
present clause.
After a few words from the Duke of WE LLINGTON and
Lord RADNOR, the motion for postponement was negatived
without a division, and the original clause inserted by their
Lordships was insisted upon.
The Lord CHANCELLOR thought their Lordships
would have little difficulty in assenting to the next amendment
(clause 42), which (as we understood) gave the Recorder
power to appoint a Deputy Recorder.
The clause was agreed to.
The other amendments, which were chiefly verbal, were
then severally agreed to.

NOTARIES' PUBLIC.

Dr. NICHOLL begged to inquire whether the Hon.
Member opposite intended to proceed with the Notaries'
Public Bill at this late period of the Session ?
Mr. C. BULLER said he was afraid the Bill was not
so perfect as it might be made. He was afraid there would
not now be time to perfect it properly, and he was therefore
reluctantly obliged to postpone it till next Session. On the
motion of the Hon. Member, the Bill was ordered to be
committed that day three months.
London, England, 1836-07-19

POOR LAW BILL.

Mr. WALTER was anxious to know whether the Go-
vernment intended to go on with the Poor Law Amend-
ment Bill this session. He had been entrusted with a very
important petition on the subject, and he hoped to be
afforded an opportunity of presenting it before the second
reading of the Bill.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said an
opportunity would most certainly be afforded the Hon.
Member of presenting his petition before the second read-
ing of the Bill, which the Government intended to go on
with.

Mr. WARBURTON said he was anxious to have a
time fixed for resuming the adjourned debate on the impor-
tant petition he had presented, relative to the Troutbeck
case, he would be contented with any evening or morning
which would meet with the convenience of the House.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did
not wish to put anything in the way of the Hon. Member,
but the public business must be proceeded. with.
- Mr: WAKLEY—hoped, with refpr6i,,,o-to_thc quu-
tion of the Honourable Member for Berkshire, that some
early day would be appointed for the 2nd reading of the
Bill, as it was an exceedingly important measure ; or.e
almost as important as the Bill of 1833. He trusted how-
ever, that the Bill would not be read a second time
that day, as it was so short a period since it had been in-
troduced. Hqhad intended to put a question to the Secretary
at War w►th reference to allowing soldiers to wear side
arms. In doing so, he should have stated a circumstances
which he had witnessed, took place between two soldiers on
his return from the House last night; but as the Right
Hon. Gentleman was not in his place, he should postpone
his question. •

over that part of he Sun which--though not the centre of the

AFFAIRS OF CALCUTTA.

Mr. HUME said the petition, of which he had given no-
tice, on the subject of the commerce of Calcutta, also related
to the whole system of Government in India. He had, there-
fore, been requested by his Right lion. Friend the President
of the Board of Trade, to fix another day for its presentation,
as it would be inconvenient for him to attend this evening.
Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE said that the notice on the

Calcutta.

Mr. HUME brought up the petition, which was ordered
to be printed with the votes, and the first Thursday after the
holidays fixed for taking it into consideration.

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

The House having been at a complete stand still for full

not be better that the public busiuess should begia at half-
past four, this bein7 the third day on uhieh the House had
been unoccupied from hall-past four up to five o'clock.
Mr. G. F. YOUNG thought it would not be proper to
come to such a resolution in the absence of his Ma-
jesty's Ministers, and he believed that the arrangement
had been come to, that the public business should not com-
mence till five o'clock, in consideration or the many claims for
the attendance of his Majesty's Ministers elsewhere during the
day.

Derbyshire, complaining of the system of Rural Police. Its
object was, that some plan might be adopted by the Legisla-
ture, and sanctioned by the House, for the improvement of
the Rural Police establishment. The petitioners complained
that such was the manner in which the beer shops were con-
ducted, that persons of moral habits could not pass them by
without molestation, to the great profanation of the Lord's
Day ; and at present there existed no effective Police esta-
blishment to suppress the evils complained of.

PA-RLI;CiiEITARY SUMMARY.

In the Loitt3V yeSferday there was some conversation on the
subject of introducing poor laws into Ireland. With respect
to the course Government meant to pursue, the Marquis of
Lanttiowne said that the question was beset by difficulties, the
proper c'On!iticr;ttion of which would require more time than
Could be given to them this Session. The Alien Registration
Bill was reed a second time. The re-commitment of the :lilt-
nielpal Corporations (Ireland) sill was then postponed till
Monday, and the (louse adjourned.
In the Co o.ioNfg,' aniong the multitude of petitions pre-
sented, was one from the Protestant Dissenters of Norwich,
that the trustees of their churches and chapels should be ex-
ealpt ft'f.uji stamp duty in all their contracts ; also from a
School Building Moeiety, praying that they might be exempt
from duty in the transfer of their shares. The Stafford Wit-
titsses Indemnity Bill, and also the Dublin Police Bill, were
read a third time and passed. The Constabulary Force Bill
(Ireland) wits lifoi.qht down to the: Lords with amendments.
The establishment of a floral Police, and of an intermediate
Court for the trial of petty offences, was announced to be in
the contemplation of Government. The remainder of the
evening was occupied with the discussion in Committee of the
English Tithe Bill. On clause 34 being read, Mr. Parrot
moved that la be deducted in every 1001. of the average
tithe ascertained by the Commissioners, and that the remain-
der only be the sum to be paid in future. This amendment
was negatived by a large majority. Another amendment
shared the like defeat. The Committee having proceeded up
to clause 49, the 'louse adjourned.

SABBATH OBSERVANGE.

The Marquis of BUTE presented several petitions on this
subject.

IRISH MUNICIPAL BILL.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that not seeing
the Noble and Learned Lord in his place (Lord Lynd-
hurst), he presumed he would only be anticipating his wish
if he postponed the Bill in which he had so many amendments,
and which might now be called his Bill, until Monday.
The Earl of ROSSLYN disclaimed, on the part of the
Noble and Learned Lord, any wish to interfere with the ap-
pointment of the time for the discussion of Bills brought in
by the Government.
Lord HOLLAND begged to know whether it was to be
understood that the Bill was to be proceeded with on Monday.
Undoubtedly neither the title or preamble of the Bill was
their's, and they had a right therefore to call it the Bill of the
Noble and Learned Lord.
Earl ROSSLYN said his Noble and Learned Friend would
be in his place to do his duty on Monday.
Their Lordships then adjourned to Monday.

CALIFEELL V. PERRING.

This was action for false imprisonment, brought against
the defendant, a hatter in the Strand, by the plaintiff, who
was box book-keeper at the Adelphi Theatre. The defen-
dant arrested the plaintiff upon a demand of 390/. 18s.,
arising out of bill transactions, on the 15th of August,
1835. An informality having been detected in the affida-
vit of the defendant, the plaintiff was discharged by order
of Mr. Justice Littledale, on the 21st of August, 1835.
As two of the bills were supposed by the defendant to be
forgeries, he* had the plaintiff arrested by an officer of Bow-
street near the Haymarket, having previously been refused
a warrant by Mr. Halls, the magistrate The plaintiff was
taken to the station-house after the arrest, at the hour of
12 o'clock on Saturday night, and remained to two o'clock
on Monday, the 23d of August, when he wtzs discharged.
This arrest was the cause of the present action.
The officer of Bow-street, to whom the plaintiff was
given in charge on felony, proved the circumstances of the
false imprisonment. The plaintiff was indicted at the Cen-
tral Criminal Court for forgery of the two bills in question
in the October following, and acquitted.
The defence set up was justification, upon the ground
that the two bills in question, one for 1001., and the other
for 401., were made for the object of defrauding the de-
fendant out of these sums.

The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 40s.

INSOLVENT COURT.-FRIDAY.

`IN TIIE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF RICHARD WAY.

This insolvent, an elderly man, was opposed by Mr.
COOKE, on behalf of Elizabeth Way, his daughter.
Mr. WOODROFFE supported the insolvent, from whose
examination it appeared that she had lent him 201. in 18211.
She alleged it was 301., and not 201. The insolvent said
that 101. was a bonus. Upon this debt she had arrested
him, to which action he had given bail, and rendered in dis-
charge. It further appeared that the insolvent had sold all
his property, and had paid some creditors. It was com-
plained that the disposition was unfair, the insolvent had
paid one person 1251., and his housekeeper 20/.
The COURT required proof of the payments, and ad-
journed the case sine die for that purpose.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Continued from our First Edition of yesterday.)

The prisoner, (Joseph liaggcrstone, indicted for the murder
of his wife, at Merton) in his defence, said that he went home
tipsy on tl:c night in question—he left his wife at the Double-gate
to go to her stster, and never saw her after yard till she was
dead. On leaving his wife, he went home, wishing several
people good night as he went along, among whom was a
constable of the name of Brockwell.
Mr. Brochwell was called, and corroborated the statement
of the prisoner.
Mr. Justice PARK summed up at great length, and the
Jury, after retiring for 20 minutes, acquitted the Prisoner.

SPANISH AUXILIARY FORCES.

Mr. MACLEAN wished to know whether there was
any objection to the production of a copy of the last mus-

the north coast of Spain : and whether any communication
had been received from Lord John Hay of the affair before

trust, passed away for everY although, when I look at its resu.

its momentary existence seems not to be regretted. It has called
forth your approval of my public conduct in terms which might
well satisfy the proudest ambition of patriotism. It has shown you
—what uninterrupted harmony could not have evinced—that I was
neither unmindful of my responsibility, nor disposed to compromise
my independence even for the sake of continuing your Representa-
tive. It repels the ungenerous insinuation that private and selfish
objects were my guiding motive, and arms me with increased power
for usefully pursuing my public course, and advocating the broad
principles of civil and religious liberty, in their consistent practi-
cal application, regardless of the tactics and compromises of par-
ties and their frequent subserviency to sinister interests. In this
course I shall continue ; only seeking to win for my epitaph the
praise you have awarded to my past conduct, that " towards the
public and his constituents of Southwark he faithfully and zealously
discharged his duty."
Having already spoken frankly to you of my circumstances and
purposes, and believing that you will be well pleased with your
Representative being usefully and honourably employed, it cannot
be inappropriate or unacceptable to add, that the liberal co-opera-
tion of private and political friends enables me to give to those
exertions which are desirable on my own account the direction most
accordant with my duties as one, of your Representatives. The mis-
representations and malignity of party writers have had no other
effect on my mind than to deepen the conviction of the immense
importance of an Independent Newspaper Press, and of the present
and pressing necessity for rendering its agency subservient, not to
the purposes of party; but to those of public instruction and the
assertion of popular rights. Adhering to the principles on which
they were originally established, but rendered more efficient by the
aid of mind and money than they have hitherto been, I trust the
Journals I have secured (the " True Sun" Evening Paper, and
the " Weekly True Sun") will approve themselves worthy of be-
coming the protectors of the people, and render important service
to the progress of reform. In thus resuming my connection with
the Press, as a source of honburable occupation and reward, I shall
in my own example most effectively chastise those persons who live
upon the bread of idleness, too frequently wrung from the hands of
honest industry. _ _

I am, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obliged servant,
D. W. HARVEY.

OBSERVATIONS, &c., addressed by Mr. GEORGE ROBINS
to the CAPITALISTS, and all those who feel (Esposed to
Improve their Condition in another Country
:--
He begins by observing that " he has been honoured by the '
selection of Mr. Cabell, the highly-respectable proprietor, to
dispose of, by public competition, a portion of his large terri- •
tortes in Virginia; but he was anxious, e'er he cornraenc,d his
task of laying before the public:a faithful description of the
innumerable merits which appertain unto them, earnestly and:
strenuously to press upon the minds of the emigrant that so
favourable an opportunity 0 purchasing tracts of land in the
United States, can undoubtedly IteVer occur again, for the fol-
lowing simple reasons, viz.—they are unsurpassed in fertility ;
scarcely equalled in their numerous natural productions ; in-
estimably situated ; partaking, bf''all the auxiliaries of att and
science, with the strong adjuedts,Of beneficent nature, and far
lower than all others in,.poitit:ot'priee. The object of the
proprietor (who is in feC possession of domains in Virginia,
infinitely larger than therprpsent 'ltele) is rather that of a colt).
niser than a speculator, .his-aim being to tempt emigrants
to this part of Virginia, which -is aptly termed the garden of
that State ; he is, therefore, inclined to sell at a barely remu-
nerating price, leaving profit totally out of the question, by
this means expecting to realize his bright visions of increasing
prosperity. Farmers or others desirous of leaving England, will,
under these circumstances, if he be the master of means but
small, be able to purchase a territory sufficiently extensive to
enable him to realize a rapid fortune ; whereas, if he wait till
his arrival at the States, the Government price of land will
either altogether shut hint out of the market, or con- •
fine his purchase within -the narrowest of limits. It would
now be the work of supererogation in Mr. Rubins, to attempt
to enlarge upon the flourishing position of America as
compared with other nations,roven were he sufficely learned in
the matter to attempt it ; the statistical and financial accounts
are numerous, compentlio,is and satisfactory in the extreme ;
and none, it is predicated, will hazard a departure from their
native land, without being fully acquainted with theposition they
are likely to be placed in, or without having formed some founda-
tion, strengthened by facts, whereon to build their anticipations.
That emigration is proceeding in a most wonderful manner cannot
be denied, that it has succeeded individually beyond the most
sanguine expectations, is equally true, and that it will be car-
ried to a far greater extent is not to be doubted. Where then,
can the man, whose prospects in England are cheerless and
unsatisfactory, find a . better opportunitysfinvesting his re-
maining capital;4-hstu.'ktethe presetli,trfitiPee and wlzerts, it is
asked with great confidence, can the emigrant establish himself
to greater advantage than in the United states of America ?"

than it had previously contemplated. It occupies a space of ground
so extensive, that the trade may be increased from the present,
which is apprehended to be about Twelve Thousand to
TWENTY THOUSAND BARRELS A YEAR.
Its fame approaches the
FAR-FAMED WINDSOR ALE,
and it needs not a higher tribute of praise. Connected with it is
THE ELEGANT FREEHOLD ABODE,
which presents a character for architectural form which is denied
to most of its contemporaries. It is an uniform elevation, quite
chaste, and the entrée is in extraordinary good taste. Within the
Residence will be found all the accommodation a family of preten-
sions can desire—not forgetting amongst its varied attributes
A BATH ROOM,
worthy of an Emperor.
THE GARDENS, PLEASURE GROUNDS,
THE LAWNS AND PLANTATION WALKS,
are of such extent, and in such good keeping with the-wheieg as 4
would indicate that it was many a long mile removed from the me-
tropolis; connected with the brewery (and will form a separate lot)
are several cottages ; Timber-yard, which some day will be a great
auxiliary to aid the brewery; and a house, formerly the John Bull
Public-house, altogether occupying a most valuable plot of grpund.
This is leasehold for sixty years, and is let to Mr. Eldon for the
whole term at 601. a year. The annual value is more than double,
so that it may be estimated as a ground-rent.
The property can only be seen by the kind permission of Mr.
M'Cleod, who has a•lease which (fortunately for him) has still six-
teen years to come, at the very inadequate rent of
TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY POUNDS.
It need hardly be observed that the reversionary interest to a
greatly income in sixteen years, will add considerably to the value
of this property.
Particulars may be had at the Swan, Stockwell ; the best Inns in
the Borough; the Auction-mart ; of Messrs. Harrison, solicitors
to the mortgagee, Southampton-buildings ; and at Mr. George Ro-
bins's Offices in Covent-garden.
