The Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod having been di-
rected to summon the House of Commons for that purpose,
the Speaker, attended by several Members, shortly after-
wards appeared at the Bar, when the Royal assent was
given in the usual form to the following Bills :
The Post-Horse Duties Bill, the Insolvent Debtors
(England) Bill, Insolvent Debtors (India) Bill, Sale of
Bread Bill, Heirs of Entail (Scotland) Bill, Deeds Ratifi-
cation (Scotland) Bill, Commissary Court (Edinburgh)

Mr. BROTHERTON and others from the Commons
brought up the Worcester Dean and Chapter Bill.
The Earl of SHREWSBURY presented a petition
from Viscount Gormanstown, against the Dublin and
Drogheda Railway Bill.
COAL.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in moving that
the returns of the quantity of coal imported into
London, and the amount of duties levied, be printed,
complained that a Bill was now about to be in-
troduced for the purpose of continuing the tax of
eightpence per ton, in order to repair and widen
Blackfriars Bridge. It was, he believed, understood on
all hands that this tax should cease after the approaches to
London Bridge had been completed, and as there was a
very general outcry against the high price of this com-
modity, no less a sum than 180,000/. being paid between
the consumer and the seller to the city of London, he felt
it his duty to call the attention of his Majesty's Ministers
to the subject.
ECCLESIASTICAL REVENUES (IRELAND.)
The Ecclesiastical Revenues (Ireland) Bill was read a
third time and passed.
IRISH CHURCH BILL.
On the motion of Lord LYNDHURST the Irish
Church Bill was read a third time and passed.
LIGHT-HOUSES.
The Light-houses Bill went through a Committee.
CIVIL BILL COURTS (IRELAND).
On the motion of the Earl of DEVON, the House went
into Committee on the Civil Courts (Ireland) Bill.
On clause 3 being read,
The Marquis of WESTMEATH moved the omis-
sion of the word .‘ Protestant," inasmuch as the Clause
stating that the notices should be posted upon the doors of
the Church was, in itself, sufficient—there being no Estab-
lished Church but the Protestant Church in Ireland.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE defended the
clause.

The amendment was agreed to.
On clause 57 being read,
The Marquis of WESTMEATH moved an amend-
ment, for the purpose of giving the Lord Lieutenant power
to appoint additional places for holding Quarter Sessions.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE and Lord PLUNKETT
objected to giving such extraordinary power to the Lord
Lieutenant.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH would not press his
amendment if the sense of the House was against it.
Clauses 57, 58, and 59, were struck out.
On clause 60 being proposed,
Lord CARBERY moved that it also be struck out.
The Committee then divided, when the numbers were

report ordered for to morrow.
A Message from the House of Commons brought up the
Poole Corporation Bill.
Lord STRAFFORD moved the first reading of the
Poole Corporation Bill, and gave notice that he should
move the second reading on Monday next.
The Marquis of DO WNSHIRE brought up the re-
port on the Dublin and Drogheda Railway Bill, and fixed
the third reading for to-morrow.
Lord HOLLAND presented a petition from the Dis-
senters of Stradbroke against the payment of church rates,
ROMAN CATHOLICS MARRIAGE BILL.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE gave notice that
on Monday he should move the second reading of this Bill,

After some verbal amendments, made at the suggestion of
Lord ELLENBOROUGH, the Report was received,
and the Bill ordered to be read third time on Monday.

On the motion of the Bishop of EXETER, this Bill
was re-committed.

verbal amendments.

Upon Clause 21,
The Bishop of EXETER objected to the formula re-
garding the contract of marriage, which was contained in
this clause, and moved the substitution of one to the follow.
ing effect :—" In the presence of Almighty God, and of
these witnesses, I (N) do take thee (M), according to the
ordinances of God, to be my lawful and wedded wife ; and
I do hereby promise in the presence of God, and also of these
witnesses, to be unto thee a faithful and loving husband,
and to keep only unto thee during life."
After a short discussion, in which Lords Melbourne,
Ellenborough, and Holland opposed, and the Archbishop
of Canterbury supported the amendment, the Committee
divided on the question, that the words proposed to be left
out should stand part of the Bill :

Viscount MELBOURNE said that the words proposed

trusted at all events the House would not then decide upon
them, He should, therefore, move that the House should

It is much to be desired that the same good taste
which has been employed in ornamenting and otherwise im-
proving St. James's and Hyde Parks, would try its hand on
the Green Park, which is in a sad, slovenly, and neglected
condition.

TIIE VIOLIN AND ITS PROFESSORS.—" This
is a clever book, on an interesting subject. The author
(Mr. Dubourg) is not only a good musician, but a good
musical historian. He has here brought together all that is
known respecting the instrument, and its professors, down to
Paganini (of whom there is a very admirably written memoir).
A variety of piquant anecdotes are dispersed through the
volume, which will, doubtless, find a place in every musical
library."—Sunday Times.
A Chinese widow being found fanning the tomb of
her deceased husband, and being asked the cause of so singu-
lar a mode of showing her grief, accounted for it by saying
that he had made her promise not to marry again while the
mortar of his tomb remained damp; and as it dried but slowly
she saw no harm in aiding the operation.

The Copley Bill for perpetuating the hatred of
Irishmen to the anomalous Establishment attached to
the Irish Protestant Church, was, upon Lord Lynd-
hurst's motion, read a third time last night and passed
by the Tory Lords. Such of the Ministers as sit in
the Upper House offered no remarks upon the Learned
Baron's motion. They very properly left in the hands
of its parent the management of his abortive bantling.
Having already protested, in the strongest terms,
against the mutilation of the original beneficial mea-
sure, it was not necessary for Lord Melbourne to re-
peat his contempt of the Bill as " amended," or his
determination never to be a party, as First Minister of
the Crown, to its becoming law in its present mangled
form. It now remains for the Representatives of the
people to do their duty to the country, and to correct,
as far as in them lies, the mischievous effects of irre-
sponsible power, directed by factious feeling. Tues-
day, the 2d of August, was last night fixed for taking
the amendments made by the Lords into consideration.
We have fully prepared absent Members for this, and
the country expects that there shall be no mistake.—
Morning Chronicle.
The Marriage Bill was re-committed last night in
the House of Lords, when the Bishop of Exeter
moved an amendment to clause 20, to the declaration
in which he objected as not setting forth either the re-
ligious nature of the contract, or its indissolubility.
The amendment of the Right Reverend Father in
God was to the following effect :—" I, N, declare, in
the presence of Almighty God, and before these wit-
nesses, that I take M to be my lawful wife, to live
with according to God's Holy ordinance ; and in the
presence of Almighty God and these witnesses, I so-
lemnly promise to be to her a loving and faithful hus-
band, and to keep to her during life." On a division
on the question that the words proposed to be left out
stand part of the Bill, the motion was lost by a majo-
rity of 19 to 15. Another division took place on a
motion of Lord Melbourne, that the House resume,
in order that a division might not be come to in so
thin a House; the numbers were 15 to 17. After
which the amendment of the Bishop was agreed to.
There divided against the Bishop, the Duke of Wel-
lington, the Earl of Ripon, the Earl of Shaftesbury,
the Earl of Rosslyn, Lord Ellenborough, and Lord
Fitzgerald, &c., so that Lord Melbourne was on the
occasion powerfully supported by the Tories. The
only spiritual Peer, however, With him was the
Bishop of Bristol, while he had six against him, Cork,
Lincoln, Gloucester, Oxford, Hereford, and Exeter.
Notwithstanding the strong opposition to the
amendment as unnecessary, there being already a
clause to regulate the religious ceremony, we do not
apprehend that it will lead to much inconvenience.
We speak, however,• under the due correction, as
there may be other religious sects besides the Quakers
who may think that calling God to witness a civil
contract is taking the name of God in vain. We
should suppose, however, that few persons will have
any objection to call God to witness the marriage,
though the promise to keep to the wife during life
may afterwards give pain to an applicant for
for relief in case of the misbehaviour of the other
party. The law intends, no doubt, that mar-
riage shall be for life, but this intention is qua-
lified by the exceptional Bills of Divorce, by
which parties are relieved in cases of adultery.
—Morning Chronicle.
It will be seen from the proceedings of the House of
Lords last night, that the Irish Church Bill, mulcted of
everything that gave it value in the eyes of the coun-
try, was, on the motion of Lord Lyndhurst, read a
third time and passed. Lord Melbourne maintained
grave and dignified silence upon the subject—neither
attempting, on the one hand, to bring their Lordships
to their senses, nor stooping, on the other, to the useless
task of assisting in passing a Bill whose provisions he
had disowned, and which the Tories had made their
own. In thus conducting himself upon the occasion,
his Lordship did equal justice to himself and to those
with whom he had to deal. He palpably told their Lord-
ships by his silence, that so far as he and his Govern-
ment were concerned, their position, supported by the
people, and the people's representatives, was such as to
bid defiance to any perverse opposition of which they
could be guilty—and that the only party who were cer-
tain of being damaged by their conduct upon the Irish
Church, as well as upon the Irish Municipal, and other
Bills, were the persons who had been guilty of it, and
who were too deeply steeped in folly to be capable of
listening to the suggestions of reason. Some of their
Lordships, as we have been informed, are rather in-
clined to regret the precipitate, unjust and unpopular
course which the Belial of their party has pursued
but the mass follow him as blindly as the bell-wether
is followed by the flock of which he is chief, and dream
of nothing but of proving their independence of the
Commons, and of common sense. How it will be
with them in a few years, it requires not the gift of
prophecy to foretell. As the longest day comes at last
to an end, so will their Lordships. There is now no
preventing of the catastrophe, except by an immediate
and thorough repentance, of which they have neither
honesty nor boldness to be guilty. The country, in
the full enjoyment of a prosperity almost unexampled
either in its own, or in the annals, of any other na-
tion—having no just cause of discontent at home, and
no grounds for vexation abroad—may not feel the in-
sults perpetrated upon it, as it would do under diffe-
rent circumstances ; but their Tory Lordships may rely
upon it as matter of fact, that the jay of reckoning with
them is not far distant, and that it requires but the
slightest ground of additional provocation to fan the
smouldering embers of discontent, of disregard, and
of popular hatred, into a flame which will not only
consume them, but place in jeopardy institutions more
reverenced and more worthy of preservation than their
own House of separate judicature and legislation.
The Bill—we mean the emasculated anti mangled
Irish Church Bill which it has pleased their Lord •
ships to pass—was, as will be seen from our Parlia-
mentary report, returned last night to the House of
Commons, where it will be dealt with as it deserves.
The discussion is fixed for Tuesday next ; and we need
not add that every Reform Member—every lover of
his country and of his country's institutions, as well
as every true friend to the utility and permanence of
the Established Church, is expected to be in his-place
and to do his duty. The Tories are mustering all their
strength, in the hope—which will prove vain, if the
Reform Members do their duty--of overthrowing the
Melbourne Cabinet ; and it behoves, in consequence,
every one to be at his post who is opposed to a repe-
tition of the reign of Toryism, however short, on the
one hand, or to the perpetration of a gross and per-
manent injustice upon seven millions of their fellow-
subjects, on the other. We shall not fail, should
there any absentees, to note them down with care, and
to expose them with equal zeal to the deserved execra-
tion of their constituents, and of the country at large.

The fate of Armand Carrel, the victim of a false
law of honour, was, indeed, a melancholy one , but
though cut off in the prime of life, and in the vigour
of his intellect, he did not die too soon for his own
fame. His reputation as a political writer was great,
and the unsullied integrity of his conduct, as a chin-
pion of the principles which he espoused, excited the
admiration of his countrymen, even in an age full of
contrary examples. But he did not engage in poli-
tics as a trade, or connect himself with party as an am-
bitious speculation. His opinions, whether right or
wrong, were the result of an honest conviction, and
the fidelity that gave lustre to his character will hallow A
