making great ravages at Mecca at the present moment.
More than 8,000 Arabs and upwards of 1,000 of the
l'AcuA's soldiers, with their Commander ABDON BEY,

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. Is.—The Divan
is occupi• d at this moment in destr,ying gradually the new
reforms, introduced within the last few years into the ad-
ministration and custinns of the people, and on re-esta-
blishing the ancient system. It is well known that the
nation is invincibly attached to the ancient habits. It is
asserted that the burning of Pera is nut the work of
chance, and that new calamities on other points will
speedily be seen, unless 31An3toun hastens to restore things
to their ancient footing.
At a beer-shop, in Upper Edwarthstreet,

The House was very full of Members at Three o'clock,
in consequence of a motion made on a former day by Mr.
O'Connell for a call of the Hiiuse. On the doors being
opened it was understood that the call of the House was
postponed till Friday. The influx of strangers into the
gallery was vet), treat,, in consequence of the third reading
of the Reform Bill being fixed for this evening.
Mr. O'CONNELL presented three petitions, from a
parish in Kent, from the town of Wolverhampton, and
another place, the name of which could not be heard in the
gallery, praying an inquiry into the case of Mr. and Mrs.
Deanle. The Hon. and Learned Member stated that it
had been asserted that the Messrs. Baring intended to move
for a new trill next term ; he begged to state, that in
the event of their not doing so, he should move for
a Select Committee to inquire into this subject.

Ater a few words from Sir GEORGE Rose and Colonel
EVANS the petition was ordered to he laid on the table.
Mr. O'CONNELL then presented a petition from the
parish of Stradbaily, Queen's County, complaining of arming
the yeomanry in Ireland unnecessarily. Also a petition
from the children (eight in number)of.l.Leary,who bad been
capitally convicted of an offence, and ordered to be trans-
ported, praying the House to institute an inquiry into the
circurnst,nces attending his trial. The Hon. and Learned
Member declared his opinion of the innocence of the pri-
soner, which fret appeared clear from circumstances
which had transpired after the trial.
Mr. CALLAGHAN corroborated the statement of the
Hon. and Learned Member. He had attended the trials, and.
he could state that there was now an universal feeling in
the minds of the Jury that Leary was innocent. In sup-
port of that statement, the Learned Judge (Baron Penne-
father) had interceded with the Irish Government to obtain
Leary's liberation. The petition was ordered to be printed,
and Mr. O'Connell gave notice that to-morrow he would
move that there be laid before the House copies of Baron
Pennefather's communications with Government on this
subject.

Air. FIUME presented a variety of petitions ; one from
Suffolk, praying an investigation into the case of Mr. and
Mrs. Dearle, and others from Paddington, Macclesfield-,
&c., in favour of the new Beer Act.

They wire all ordered to lie on the table.
The Hos. Mrstamt gave notice that on Tuesday fort-
night he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal
all acts perinUting clergymen to hold more than vie living
at a time, unless in some cases where no person properly
Flu ilified could he found to perform the duty.
Mr. HUNT gave notice that on the 16th of October he
would move for leave to bring in a Bill to allow the im •
portation of wheat and flour in all ports of the United
Kingdom duty free. The Hon. Member then moved that
a petition which he last week presented from Peter Jeffrey,
relative to the condition of New London Bridge, should he
printed. Lfis motive in doing this was, that he was pre-
pared to prove all the allegations in that petition.
After a few observations from Mr. Alderman Woof),
the petition was ordered to be printed.
Mr. WILBRAHANI presented a petition from the
brewers of Northwich, against any alterations in the Beer

Colonel PEEL presented a petition from Huntingdon,
praying to be allowed to send two Members to Parliament.
Mr. WILKS presented a petition from Boston, depre-
cating the proceedings taken against Mr. and Mrs. Deacle,
Mr. A. BARING, in consequence of being absent when
several petitions on this subject had been presented, wished
to say a few words upon this subject. No person coul
deny that, in consequence of the pains taken by the Press, '
to circulate the most abominable lies and calumnies
on this subject, great excitement had been created
among those who were not acquainted with the character
of the Press of the country; nor could any body deny that
if the iacts contained in the petition were true, the parties
to whom they related were not worthy to sit for one mo-
ment longer as Magistrates ; but those statements he wouli
take upon himself to say were totally void of foundation. IT,
understood opinions had been expressed by some Members
of the House that legal proceedings were likely to take
place, and that therefore it would be untair towards the pat-
ties that any thing pendente lite should be done, by which
any parties might be prejudiced. On that point he felt it
ois duty to state to the House, that the case had been sub.
mitted to the legal advisers of the parties, and it had been
determined not to substitute any further proceedings, and he
'ruste r that gentlemen who had any inquiries to institute
n the subject would proceed with them without ch lay.
lie particularly caded un the lion. Members for Rye and
CI ar e to do so, and the parties concerned would be per-
t ctly ready to meet it. As this case was considered
to reflect greatly on a body of the Magistrates of the
county of Hants, he trusted the House would do justice
to all parties by appointine a Committee to investigate the
matter, and the sooner a motion was made on that subject
the better.

Mr. O'CONNELL should not act upon the petitions h,
had alrea ly presented in instituting any inquiry, but it
persons thought fit (lie did not court it) to trust him with
petitions on this subject in future, he should then think it
his duty to press for inquiry.
Mr. HUME thought the Hon. Member (Mr. Baring)
was pertect.y right in urging inquiry to take place.
Mr. HUNT w is glad to see that the Hon. Member fur
Kelly would not take the subject out of th- hands of the
Hon. Member for Rye. He could not hut think that
great injustice had been done to Mr. and Mrs. Deacle,
and that the public were entitled to inquiry on the subject.
Mr. SMITH considered the present discussion as quite
premature.
Sir T. BARING concurred in the opinion that the pre-
sent discussion was premature. He admitted that the
subject as presented was one of importance, not only as
regarded his family or Mr. and Mrs. Deacle, but as
regarded the whole oh the Magistracy of the county, of
whom he (Sir 'l'. Baring) was one, and he felt extremely
anxious for the fullest inquiry.
Colonel EVANS was glad that the Hon. Member for
T
expressed his wish at once to meet the
,hhaertgle. t,
yex *ruination by this House. He should
had
that on Thur-d ty, provided the third
. d
an
therelore Wye
reading of the Reform Bill were finished, he would
move for a Select Committee to examine and report upon
this subject.
Sir H. HARDINGE thought it highly honourable to
the family of the Messrs. Baring that this charge had b, en
so openly met by them, and he was persuaded that the
result would afford them great gratification.—(Near,
however, strongly protested against the House
setting itself up as a court of appeal, in these modern
Lear.) He,
times, to try cases already decided by a court of law.
Mr. A. BARING expressed great anxiety for an en-
quiry, and hoped the Hon. and Gallant Member would
persevere in bringing the motion on next Thursday,
whether the Reform Bill were got rid of or not.—The
petition was ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. S. WORTLEY begged to ask for information upon
a subject of considerable importance, and involving the in-
terests of a great many individuals living at a distance from
this country. He alluded to those valuah!e settlements
Prince of Wales's Island, Malacca, and Singapore. in
1828 or 1829, in consequence of a misunderstanding
between the Chief Magistrate of those settlements,
and other authorities, and the refusal on his part to
perform his judicial functions, he was summoned to this
country to answer whatever charges might be made against
him. He arrived here in November last, and up to this
time he (Mr. S'uart Wortley) believed that no de-
cision had as yet been come to.—(Hear.) During all
this period there was no judicial tribunal in
those settlements, and the want of a legal tribunal was
severely felt. lie even understood that one house alone
had 150,000 dollars in its possession to divide amongst
the various claimants, but that it could not be dune,
owing to that of which be now complained. lie
thought this was a matter of very great consetinence, and
je hopes that it would be shortly brought to an issue, lie
begged to ask in what condition the question now was ?
and also what mops had been taken, and what arrangement
had been made, to aftord a competent judicial tribunal to the
vokye, full, and
rendered recdoni
inhabitants of those colonies during the absence of the R -
corder or Chief Magistrate?
