LONDON:
TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 1841.

In the Peers petitions were presented for the
liberation of Mr. BAINES and against the grant
to Maynooth, and that the depositions in Lord
CARDIGAN'S trial might be returned into the
Central Criminal Court, where Captain DOUGLAS
is to be tried, and where certainly there can now
be no difficulty in identifying the person who
was wounded.

The Earl of RIPON very properly wished for
some information as to the colony of South Aus-
tralia, and the-. Marquis of INT ORMAINWC intimated
that it should be supplied. Their Lordships ad-
journed. •
Mr. ARMSTRONG took his seat in the Com-
mons for King's County.
A great number of petitions were presented
against Lord STANLEY'S Bill, against the Poor-
law, for Church Extension, &c.
In answer to Sir E. KNATCHBULL, Lord Jonx
RUSSELL said he did not mean to carry forward
the Poor-law Continuance Bill on Monday, but
-he would on Friday state when he would proceed
with it. _ _

In answer to Sir J. GRAHAM, Lord JOHN said
that Lieutenant M'Cormick had been granted a
pension for wounds received at the capture of the
Caroline, he acting under the orders of the Colo-
nial authorities.

Lord .lonzr RUSSELL then stated that, looking
to the general business of the House, and the
want of further information as to the valuations
in Ireland, he should postpone the Committee
on the Parliamentary Voters Bill for Ireland till
-April 23d.
This announcement made Lord STANLEY im-
mediately express great surprise, and utter not a
few reproaches at the Government having
brought forward their measure without possessing
more information. He gave notice that he should
in Committee oppose the enfranchising clauses,
he being all for disfranchisement. The Noble
Lord postponed his own Bill till the 24th of
March, and is then to state what heis to do with
it. Poor Lord STANLEY, " poor Tories," they
have caught up a piece of hot iron; they would
drop it but they cannot. We liope, however,
that this registration trash, which is wholly unim-
portant, unless there was a chance of carrying the
enfranchising clauses, which there is not, will
be laid aside, and that the Parliament will ad-
dress itself skilfully and diligently to those great
commercial questions to which the towns are be-
ginning to call its attention.
Mr. HuME's motion for papers relating to
Syria was agreed to.
Mr. GOULBURN made some statement about
the Post-office, which was not satisfactory ; but
which we say nothing of, as the 'CHANCEL-
LOR of the_ EXCHEQUER'S explanation was not
audible.

The House, after a few observations from Mr.
HUME about the deficiency of the revenue,
went into a Committee of Supply, in which.
Mr. MORE O'FERRALL moved the Navy Esti-
mates. A considerable discussion ensued on
two votes to make good the excess of ex-
penditure over the votes of last year, which
involved the policy 'of the Government,
but ultimately the vote was -agreed to after a
division promoted by Mr. ilumE, and an under-
standing that a special Act of Parliament should
be introduced to settle the matter.
A considerable number of the ordinary esti-
mate's were voted, some returns were ordered,
and the House adjourned at. Quarter before
Twelve o'Clock.

We are obliged to infer, froni the language of
the Tory journals, that the Tories are the most
sensitive, feeling, and kindly mortals into whom
the breath of life was ever breathed. STERNE'S
" Maria" was not half so affectionate and tender as
the Tory journalists, nursing, dandling, and
helping forward the lamed cause of Toryism.
Sir THOMAS TROUBRIDGR, for example, did but
quit his house at the Admiralty to go down to
the House of Commons on Thursday night, while
his daughter was yet, we believe, unburied, and,
according to the Tories, he " committedan outrage
on all the decencies of life." The dead was only
left for a short period, and although the Scriptures,
whieli the Tories at times quite adore, tell us to
let the dead take care ,of the- dead, and
though the SAVIOUR emphatically warned men
to be diligent while it was yet day; and leave
other work and follOw him, yet the Tory journals
exclaim against such " degrading and brutalizing
conduct." it is said to be " a violation of the so-
cial and domestic affections, and a disregard of
all the decencies of ordinary life." They bless
themselves that they are not like these publicans
the Whigs, and do all they can—all they ought—,
to " stem the -contagion of hard and savage fe-
rocity in a sphere of life where civilization and
hunianitY- should be most conspicuous." How
exquisitely tender and susceptible, how regardful
even of the . departed, who can feel no more !
Surely' the Tories must be paragons ofhumanity.
We wish they felt as much for the living. But
while they moan and whine over a trifling depar-
ture—if departure it be--4roin the ordinary forms
