Admiral GORDON and several other Members pre•
sented petitions av,ainst this Bill.
ATTENDANCE OF MEMBERS ON COMMITTEE•
On the motion of Mr. GREENE, who stated that no
communication had been received from Mr. Horsman,
who was appointed to sit upon the Committee of Group
No. 18, or declaration of his inability to do so in conse-
quence of illness, as required by Order No. 90, it was
ordered that a requisition be sent to Mr. Horsman to
attend the Committee on Monday next, at one o'clock.

He could assuro his Him. Friend that no treaties had as
yet h,en entered into with reg,ard to Hungary. With ro-
am ty. to the eecond question there was no d!fliculty, and he
could freely assure the lion. Gentle,n4n that no treaties
had been entered into which had reference to the
security of Huncrar;,,n independence. • With regard to
the third question he could reply that there bad been
no applicacion to this country :or a mediation between
Hungary and Austria.—(Laue.ter.)___

THE ROMAN STATES.
Mr. B. COCHRANE wished to know whether there
was any communication in the Foreign-office relative to
the invasion of the Roman territory by the French
troops, and he might add to the inquiry the question,
whether there was any intention on the part of her Ma-
jesty's Government to mediate between the French and
the Roman people.
Lord PALMERSTON said that there was no inten-
tion to mediate between the two states to whom refe-
rence had been made. With regard to the second ques-
lion, he had only to state that there was a correspon-
dence between himself and the Roman Government.

FRAIN KFORT.

There was a sitting of the German Parliament on
tha 8:h, in which the question of urgency on the

quisition of 110 Members of the Left, an extraordi•
nary sitting was appointed fur the afternoon of the
satne day.

The Bolsa was closed on the 6th.

GERMANY
AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA, HUNGARY, AND
RUSSIA.

The Hungarians, on the sth, gained another
victory over the Imperialists at Sjered, three leagues
from Presburg.
They crossed the river, and Sjered fell into their
hands. The consternation at Presburg was very
great, as it was supposed the Austrians could not hold
out.

The Hungarians have entered Gallicia, and will
probably proceed towards Biala, to cut off the com-
munications between Vienna and Gallicia.
The principal army of Hungary, 70,000 strong, is
stationed near Waika, under the orders of DEMBINSKI ;
30,000 Hungarians are in entrenchments near
Kopolna; 15,000 near Debreczin, and 30,000 near
Mulhlenbach, in Transylvania ; BEM is in the envi-
rons of the city.
The corps of JELLACHICH are annihilated, and
Field Marshal WELDEN has received a wound in the
head.

The Russians are endeavouring to enter the Buko-
wina, but it was reported in Vienna that the Russian
troops who had come from Troppau and Kriran had
received orders to halt, as it was understood that the
Court of OLLMUTZ bad resolved to try once more
whether they could effect a negotiation with the
Magyars. The Privy Councillor ALTHAMN has ar-
rived to negotiate with the Hungarian chiefs.
The Sclavoaians, Transylvanians, and Gailicians
are all rising to make common cause with the Mag-
yars, and it is said that KOSSUTH has entered into
negotiations with the Moldavians, the Wallachians,
and the Turks to make a simultaneous attack on the
Russians, and that several of the Russian regiments
are inclined to join the cause of liberty. Volhynia
and Podolia await but the appearance of the Mag-
yars to rise in insurrection ; and KOSSUTH declares
that he asks but eighteen months to shatter the Nor-
thern Colossus. The defiles of the Carpathians will
be vigorously defended against the Russians by the
Wallachians.

HANOVER.
An emeute has taken place at Hanover, the Kim;
has been driven from his capital, and has sought
refuge in the Castle of Herrnhausen. He has de-
manded assistance from Prussia.

BAVARIA.
The city and fortress of Landau have been de-
clared in a state of siege, and all foreigners have been
compelled to quit the city.

PRUSSIA.
The insurrection at Breslau has been suppressed•
The assembly of Delegates from the Communal
Councils of the Rhenish provinces met at Cologne
on the Bth, and came to resolutions acknowledging
the Constitution of the empire, and that in the con-
flict between the National Assembly and Prussia
they would side with the former ; and calling on the
people to take up arms and defend the Constitution.

A H It I A CT E.
M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
apposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
tense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
.itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
3f caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
varnprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
Ind broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
tnd social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour andjusticedemand that health shouldform an item
In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
teglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

far the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom

the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price ls. each,

pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the

hoped that the House would allow him to read the

fixed for Monday next.

LAND) BILL

On the report, as amended, on this Bill being brought up,
Mr. GROGAN proposed the insertion of a clause,
granting compensation to Messrs. Butler, Walsh,
ltivett, rind another, on being deprived of their offices by
that Bill.

Mr. REYNOLDS observed that when he saw the
clause proposed, ho thought his Hon. Colleague was not
in earnest. Mr. Butler had already a pension from the
Dublin Corporation of 4401. a year during his natural
life; and the Hon. Gentleman bought to induce that
House to give him another slice. Compensation had
been given to men whose name was legion. He would
as soon give compensation to a highway robber as to
this man. Tbis man was to have power to put his hands
into the pockets of the corporation of Dublin to the tune
of 6001. per annum; but if that was intended the corpo-
ration should at least have notice of it.—(Hear.)
Mr. KEOGH said that he was surprised to hear the
Hon. Member for Dublin denounce the case of those men
which he had ably supported with him in the presence of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer within the week. He
had pleaded the cause of those men whom he now de-
nounced as cormorants.—(A. laugh.) He wished to de-
prive four men, of the average age of 60 years, of com-
pensation. Would the House decide against the claims
of these men?

Mr. REYNOLDS said it was true that he did accom-
pany the Hon. Gentleman to the Right Hon. the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, but he did it for peace sake—(A
laugh)—and, at the same time, assuring the Hon. Mem-
ber that they had no legal right to compensation.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE objected to the principle of
giving compensation for the loss of fees.
Mr. GROGAN said that the office was to be abolished.
The debate was then, at the suggestion of several
Hon. Members, adjonrned fora fortnight, to give time
to the Corporation of Dublin to consider this point.

On the motion of AdmiraIDUNDAS, the Greenwich

Chambers' Journal is as good and interesting as eyer.
We can pronounce no higher encomium on our old
Edinburgh friend, and to all who know it that will be
sufficient. The new number of the Instructive and
Entertaining Library contains the second and con-
cluding part of the memoir of Francis Horner.

THE HISTORY OF PE IVDENNIS. No. VII.

This number is devoted to the description of Pen 'a
repentance and penance for his Oxford outbreaks.
We are introduced to the family of Sir Francis
Clavering in this number, who promise well. Al-
ready has Pen a second love in the person of the
Baronet's daughter-in-law, Miss Amory, as well as a
sisterly affection for his mother's ward, Laura Bell,
an affection which that mother would fain see ripen
into something more than sisterly. '

subsequent reigns.—(dear, hear.) He should say
that he was greatly astonished that the Irish repre-
sentatives in this House had given up all ideas of arty
other measure as a substitute ; for from the moment
that the income-tax
obtained a character of rejection in
their Lordships' Committee, then was all other expe-
dient and temporary measures for Irish relief given up
by them. When it had been stated that there was no
security for those grants implied in this Bill, he (the
Marquis of Lansdowne) should say that they had the
security of the measure itself ; that all money given in
this Bill would he repaid, and that the object that the
Bill had in view would be also effected.—(Hear, hear.)
He disagreed with the plan of wholesale emigration as
a safety-valve, for it would require much more ma-
chinery, and such an expensive mode of operation,
that it would be totally impossible to carry such,a
plan out. He assured their Lordships that it was
the firm opinion of the Government in Council,
that that Bill would relieve the awful and naelan-
choly distress now so prevalent in the course of
two years ; and though much truth might be con-
tained in the assertion that they were working in the
dark, he should only say that they were unfortunately
compelled to do so; and that, therefore, they could not
before apply any certain remedy to a disease whose
nature and character they were totally ignorant of until
it pressed with alarming violence on the condition of the
Irish people. He felt bound in the sight of God and
man to adopt, owing to these oppressive circumstances,
such a course as would relieve this distress. He asked

their Lordships to give the second reading to the Bill,
as it was by no means of a permanent nature, and would
before the lapse of two years effect the object of all their

wishes.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

ScrmuswrG, JULY 16.—A very full meeting of
the Legislative National Assembly was held this
morning to receive the official communications rela-
tive to Denmark and the Duchies, which were
brought from the Cabinet of Berlin by Major VAN
MANTEUFFEL. The most profound attention, not
unmixed with reiterated marks of disapprobation was
exhibited by the audience during the reading of the
three documents, viz., a letter from Count VAN
BRAT DENBURG to the legislative Government, the
protocol relative to the preliminaries of peace, and the
conditions of the armistice agreed upon between the
King of l'Russu and the King of DENT.SARIS, and
concluded at Berlin on the 10th ult. The protocol
consists of five articles, and the convention of the
armistice of fourteen.

The Stadholdership of Schleswig has addressed a

AUSTRIA. AND HUNGARY.

The news from the seat of war continues to be of
:be most contradictory character.

The official Gazette of Vienna announces the occu-
Lition of Olen by a corps of partizans, commanded
)y Major llussEiN, who found both Ofen and Pesth
tesertcd by the Magyars. It also announces the
nary of PASKEWITCII into Pesth; yet the same offi-
:;ial journal states that on the 6th KossuTu returned
co Pesth, where he was received with the greatest
.enthusinsm.

The orders of KOSSUTH in his proclamation to the
llungarian people are carried out to the letter. The
Hungarians have buried their corn and their other
provisions, and have driven their horses and oxen into
he forests and mountains. The consequence is that
the Imperial armies have neither provisions nor means
.if transport sufficient. All their provisions have to
be ssnt to them from across the frontier, and from
Presburgh to the head-quarters of the army;
there is not a single change of horses,l oxen, or beasts
of burden to be had.

It is said that DEMBINSKI has effected a juncture
with GEORGEY at Gyoogyos.
The report of the defeat of JELLACHICII is con-
firmed; thus the circle in which the Hungarians were
to have been "hemmed in" is broken.
The Wanderer states that BEM has collected all
his troops near Sz.gedin to make head against the
Russians.

ITALY.

Intelligence has been received from Rome to the
10th instant.

General OUDINOT, it is said, complains much of
the manner in which he is treated by his Government.
The orders he receives from the Minister at War and
the Minister for Foreign Affairs respectively are of
so contradictory a character that he finds it sometimes
quite impossible to reconcile them.
Several of the members of the old Papal Camarilla,
including Cardinals BERNETTI, UGOLINI, and the
notorious ANTONELLI, have returned to Rome.
The Governor of Rome has established himself in
the Palace Torlor.i3, and Colonel CHAPIUS, who is
appointed Prefect of Police, has taken up bis resi-
dence at the Palace .lladama.

Several persons have been arrested; among their
number is Signor.Accußsr, late Envoy from the
Roman Republic to Paris.

SHEARING MATERIALS.—The great supply of
American butter has caused a material decline in the
price of smearing materials. Mr. Turner, Greenock,
contracted to supply Mr. Sellar at 441 per ton for grease
butter, and 17s per barrel for American tar. Other sales
were made at 451 per ton, 3m. delivered. Virginia tar

Orders for smaller quantities were given at 44s to 46s per

those prices.
PUBLIC SALE.—At six o'clock this evening (Satur-
day), the stock on the farms of Tallisker and Rhundunan
were offered for sale by public auction in the Caledonian
Hotel—Mr. Fraser, sheriff-substitute, Fort William,
judge; Mr. Hutchison, auctioneer. The room was
crowded, and all the principal gentlemen attending the

Rhundunan three-year-old black-faced wedders, which
were put up at 161 10s per clad score, and knocked

put up at 211., but were withdrawn, no offers having been
made. 200 Rhundunan three-year-old Cheviot wedders
were next put up at 214 and went at the upset price to

221 per clad score, and were disposed of at that price
to Mr. Paterson. The Rhundoaan blackfaced crock

The official Gazette of Vienna announces the occu-

deserted by the Magyars. It also announces the

cial journal states that on the 6th KOSSUTH returned
to Pesth, where he was received with the greatest
enthusiasm.

The orders of KOSSUTH. in his. proclamation to the

MEN T BILL.

The House went into Committee on this Bill.
Captain PEC HELL inquired if the wives and children
of soldiers and marines possessed the privilege of irre-
movability during the absence of their husbands.
Mr. BAINES did not like to take upon himself the
responsibility of answering the question. The subject
was under the consideration of the Court of Queen's
Bench.

Captain PECHELL said they had terrible experience
of the delay of the Court of Queen's Bunch in cases not
very dissimilar. He hoped the Board would urge the
Court to come to a decision, and not defer doing so for
two years, astheyhad done in one case.

Mr. BAINES begged his Gall,tntFriend to bear in
mind that the Poor-law Board had no influence with the
Court of Queen's Bench.

Captain PECHELL said the Attorney-General and
Solicitor-General might accelerate the decisions of the
Court.
The clause was agreed to.
Clauses 6 and 7 were agreed to-
On clause 8 being proposed.
Captain PECHELL opposed it, and proposed its

with late events in Bavaria will be in the recollection
of our readers, was married yesterday to George Traf-

mony took place first at the French Catholic chalel, and
subsequently at St. &ecrge's Church, Hanover-square,

ANTWEP.PEN STEAM VESSEL.—On Sunday, the
Bth ult., a most gratifying scene took place on board
this elegant vessel, viz., the presentation of a very hand-
some silver cup to Captain Jackson, the commander, by
Mr. Dixon, the proprietor of the celebrated horse repo
sitory in Barbican. Mr. Dixon, in presenting the cup to
Captain Jackson, wade a most elegant speech, and
warmly eulogised the concluct of the Captain. The at-
tention, he said, that was at all times paid to the pas-
sengers, and the care that was taken of the merchandise
that was placed in his keeping, deserved more than re-
spect; he begged, therefore, that the worthy Captain
would accept the trifle he now offered as a mark of es-
teem for his uniform good conduct, and his willingness
on all occasions to render the voyage to all his passen-
gers a trip of pleasure instead of a matter of tusiness.

I SIR IIi!..NRY BISHOP'S CONCERT.
The announcement of a co7merc to be given by Sir
Henry Bishop, the veteran composer i'or the English
stage, to whom we are indebted for en impetus given in
years long gone by to the taste for lyrical art in this
country, was sufficient to attract a select and nume-
rous audience of amateurs at the Hanover-square
Rooms on Wednesday. Although the works of Sir
Henry Hiahop no loi,ger hold their place in a dramatic
form on the operatic stage, there are few men who
have written so much that lives in the memory. The
programme of this concert derived its chief interest
from the resuscitation of compositions by him with
which every musical society is familiar, but which, fur
many years, have not formed the staple of concert at-
tractions. Among these- were the glee from Clari,
" Sleep gentle lady," the song from Guy Mannering
"Be mine, dear maid," the recitative and air "Is this
the region?" from the Fallen Angel, the song " In the
silence of night," the sestet from The Miller and his Men
Stay pr'y thee stay," the quintet from The Slave
"Blow gentle gales," the favourite song of " My
pretty Jane" (sung by Mr. Sims Reeves), the
song "Tell me, my Heart" from Henri Quatre sun
by Miss Birch), the song " Sens oe- Freedom'
(by Miss Alicia Nunn) frem The Slave, and the
duet " tly pretty Page," from Henri Quatre. Added to
these was the rondo "Hark, 'tis the Indian drum," from
the opera of Cortez. All these pieces, which were per-
formed under the personal superintendence of Sir Henry
Bishop, were received with delight by en audience who
had not forgotten impressions produced at a time when
the works of this composer were, in many respects, the
pioneere of musical taste iu this country.
The concert was not confined to these performances,
though, on such an occasion, they might have been
sufficiently attractive. The talents of Alboni, Grisi.
Parodi, Lablache, Tamburini, and Gardoni were also
engaged in some of the most popular of the pieces
usually given at these entertainments. English
artists, however, predominated in the list, some
of the best of Sir Henry Bishop's pieces be-
ing allotted to Miss Rainfortb, Miss Dolby, Miss
Birch, Mr. H. Phillips, the Misses Williams, Miss Bas-
sano, Mr. Machin, Mr. Novello, Mr. Stretton, and
Master Sloman. Grisi and Alboni were encored in the
Serbami Ognor," from the Semiramide, and Tambu-
rini and Lablache convulsed the audience with the
" Sefiato," from the Matrirnonio. The concert was
throughout successful.
