HOUSE OF LORDS.
ROYAL COMMISSION.
The Royal Assent was given by Commission this even-
ing to the following Bills, viz :—Consolidated Fund Bill,
Vice-Guardians (Ireland) Bill, Buckingham Assizes
Bill, and the Commons Encolsure Bill. The Royal
Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis
of Clanricarde, and the Earl of Shaftesbury.
INSOLVENT LAWS.
Lord BROUGHAM laid upon the table the report of
the Committee appointed to consider the laws relating
to baP.kruptcy and insolvency. Several members of the
mercantile community had been examined, and therefore
the report would contain divers suggestions for the im-
provement of those laws, but the Committee had not, at
first, had before them any persons repre-sentkg the un-
fortunate class ofinsolvents. They had, however, urged
certain arguments against it, but the Bill which had now
been drawn up by the Committee was calculated to meet
their objections, and he believed he might now assert
that the alterations proposed by the Committee met with
the approval of those unfortunate persons, as well as with
that of the mercantile community in general. lie pro-

NCLIFFE believed that the mercantile
community were of opinion • that the measure as origi-
nally proposed might have been greatly improved ; but
that they were satisfied to accept the proposed mewl- ure
as an experiment.
The Bill was then read a first time.
PETI
The Earl of HARROWBY prt seated a petition from
Liverpool against any alteration in the navigation-laws.
The Earl of ST. GERMANS presented a petition
praying that stock in trade might be rated to the poor-
rates.
The Earl of LUCAN presented a petition from some
union in Ireland, praying for the total and immediate
repeal of the poor-law, inasmuch as they considered it a
measure that was demoralising the country.
The Earl of RODEN presented petitions from unions
in the county of Louth, Armagh, and Monaghan, against
the rate in aid, and praying fur the substitution of an in-
come-tax.

LARCENY ACT AMENDMENT BILL.
The Larceny Act Amendment Bill was read a third
:inae and passed.
Their Loidships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four
o'clock.

The LORD MAYOR said he esteemed it a high
honour to attend in that House to present a petition from
the merchants, manufacturers, bankers, artisans, seamen,
and others, of the city of London, against the repeal of
the navigation.laws. The signatures to that petition
amounted to 20,757. —(Cries of " Hear, hear.")
He had carefully looked at the petition, and from
his own knowledge he could state that many of the
signatures to that petition were composed of the most
influential and respectable firms in the city of London ;
and he would venture to say there was no petition more
entitled to the respectful consideration of the House.
Mr. A. HASTIE presented a petition signed by 2,890
shipowners, artizana, merchants, manufacturers, and
seamen of Glasgow against the repeal of the navigation

laws.

Mr. F. O'CONNOR rose to ask whether the Right
Hon. Member (Mr. Herries) who had presented the
petition from Liverpool, on the subject of the naviga-
tion-laws, had taken the trouble to count the signatures
to that petition.—(" Oh, ob," and laughter.)
Mr. COBDEN presented a petition from the inha-
bitants of Dunstable, in Kent, in favour of the repeal of
the navigation-laws.

THE NAVIGATION LAWS.
O❑ the motion being read that this Bill be read a
second time,

Mr. HERRIES said he rose to oppose the further
progress of this Bill.—(Hear' hear.) He roso to
propo:e, as an amendment to the motion, that the Bill

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE --On Friday morn-
ing last, Mr. James Campbell, a greengrocer, in Church-
street, Wa'worth, and who is the owner of some house
property in the neighbourhood, left home for the purpose
of ordering some coals at a wharf in Bankside, and since
that time he has not been seen by any member of his
family. On the same morning a man, answering his
description, was seen by some boys jumping from halve
to barge c

former entrance to the Surrey Gardens. and by perse
verance and industry had been enabled to build several
houses in the neighbourhood, and accumulate consider-
able property; and he was very generally respected.
Since his disappearance it has been found that he had
discounted some bills for some parties, who were not
punctual in taking them up when at maturity; and this,
it is feared, has led to the rash act of self-destruction.
Persons have b( en employed since Saturday morning,
in dragging the canal ; but up to a late hour last even-

covered.

GALLICIA.

took to oppose the motion because of the principle of the
Bill, which they were now invited to read a second time.
If it were not conceived in the spirit in which it was
conceived, he should not have opposed it at that stage in
its progress; but he was not content, so fer as his voice
would prevent it, to allow this Bill, framed on such a set of
principles, to pass this stage in its progress. It was a
sweeping abrogation of the navigation• laws, with some
such trifling, some such insignificant, reservations—
(Hear, hear)—as tended not to amend or remove the
objections to the abrogation, but to render them
in some respects absurd, and in others onerous,
without any compensation to the body of the
shipowners.—(Hsar.) These reservations consisted lit

NAVIG ATION-LAWS.
Sir R. LOPES presented a petition from ,Exeter
against the repeal of the navigation-laws.
Petitions were also presented on the same subject from
Hull, Dundee, North Shields, Dartmouth, Penzance,
Weymouth, elcombe Regis, Portsmouth, and several
other places, chiefly signed by 81 ipowners and builders.
Among them was one signed by 4,937 daily labourers in
Spitelflelds, who stated that they had found their wages
so
they had joined the shipwrights and other artizans in
the attempt to retain the navigation-laws.

The state of things in Cracow remains still covered
with mystery. The news which successively tran-
spired were, that disaffection was gaining ground
in Cracow and throughout Gallicia, of which the
principal cause was a general levy of recruits by
conscription. The country assumed so threatening
an attitude that the Austrian Government found
it necessary to call the Russians to concentrate on
the very frontiers of Gallicia, to be within call and
prepared to help. Privileges, in the shape of a per-
mission to recruit a certain number of men by the pro-
mise of bounties, were given to the city of Lemberg,
and a promise of similar privileges was extended
to the other towns of Gallicia. The Government
could not help retracing its steps. From the latest
news it would appear that the consequences of
this vacillating policy have already made them-
selves felt, for we have accounts of a Gallician
i:surrection, which caused the Austrian autho-
rities to call for Russian assistance, and of the
occupation of several districts by the Russian troops.
No implicit credit can be given to these rumours,
unconfirmed as the are. The latest news we have
are from a Vienna correspondent, of the 3d instant,
who asserts that Cracow has had another rising,
and that the troops bombarded the town, and restored
tranquillity by subjecting five leaders of the insurrec-
tion to a court martial, and hanging them. Numerous
arrests are sta'ed to have taken place, and a corres-
ponding number of executions are to fellow.

TUB BURGLARY AT STRETHALL.—The man who
was shut is now for a certainty identified as Abraham
Green, a well-known gypsy desperado. He was com-
mitted on the sth of April, 1843, for stealing a pair of
boots from a shop in King-street, and the sca►s that are
now seen about his head and face are from the effects of
his violent conduct, when being apprehended for the
felony. He was acquitted for the felony: and two days
after this was the last time he was seen in Cambridge.
About a week after he was acquitted, he and another
man were poaching upon the estate of Colonel Pember
ton, of Trumpington, when they were met by two of the
keepers, and a dreadful conflict ensued, in which Green
succeeded in breaking the arm of one of the keepers, and
both the poachers made their escape. The police have
never had any clue as to his whereabouts since that time.
Two men have been tak, n into custody at Newport, as
being accomplices of the burglary, and have been re-
mt►nded until Monday neap--Cambridge Advertiser.

THE DEVIL'S DYKE.—A correspondent of the
Sussex dvertixer states, that he has scieu.ilically ascer-
tained the height of the I)ykr.hill to be 685 fret and 3
inches above the level of the sea. It has often been as-
serted that it was 1,000 feet above the sea.
