POEEIGN.

Canton was taken by the British forces on the 27th of
May. The details are too interesting to be abridged,
and we therefore refer the reader to the official accounts
given at length in The Sun.
The intelligence from the Continent is destitute of in-
terest.

PAR:

'TAUT.

There wf...s no House of Lords last night, but the Peers
meet this day at one o'clock, to be present at the proro-
gation of Parliament by commission.
The Commons met as usual, and Mr. Wakley, for
what purpo:ie we know not, gave notice of a motion fur
next session, for a radical reform in the House of
Commons. Is this to blind or pacify his Radical con-
stituents till the House again meets?
Mr. C. Buller brought'under the notice of the House
the case of Lord G. Paget, who petitioned against the
return fur Carnarvue, and who failed to complete his
recognizance by having entered into it before a Magis-
' trate for Cardigan, when the Act imperatively requires
that it shall be entered into before a Magistrate of
the county wherein the borough is situated. air. Buller
wished an indulgence granted to Lard G. Paget, and
asked that the law should be set aside ; but on the motion
being opposed, he withdrew it.
In the discussion, - some remarks were made about
bribery and its remedies, which aro worth reading.
Mr. Wakley brought. under the notice of the House
the case of a Scotch gentleman, who has been confined
in a lunatic asylum as a madman by his friends on ac-
count of some family quarrel, which is like many similar
hard cases, we are afraid, in England ; but on Sir William
lice promising to institute an inquiry, the Hon. Gentle-
man at:owed the;,...ubject to drop.
An Addresa to the Queen, got up at Tamworth, which
appears to have
_heea_improperly signed, was also the
subject of a brief discussion. The Government have
sent the Addres to Tamworth, and have ascertained
that some of the signatures are not genuine. It was not,
however, thought so .badly of as to be withheld from
the Queen.• It will go with the bundle, and be thrust
aside in the usual manner with the petitions and ad-
dresses of the people.
The late Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Baring)
referred to something said by the Duke of Wellington,
in the other House, relative to the First Lord of the
Treasury having been in greater deficit in the revenue
than Mr. Baring had stated, and lie applied for an ex-
planation. Both the present Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer and Sir Robert Peel bore testimony to the ac-
curacy of Mr. Baiing's estimates, but stated that sevend
deniands had since come in, which was what the Duke
meant. The House adjourned at Half-past Six, to meet
this day at Two, to be prorogued.
