HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve
o'clock.
The Lords' amendments to the Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincolnshire Railway (Supply of Surplus Water to
Manchester, Salford, and Stockport) Bill were agreed to.
Lord G. BENTINCK presented a petition from the
magistrates, proprietors, and others of St. George's,
Jamaica, complaining of the competition to which they
were exposed in consequence of the reduction of the
duty on which slave-grown produce was admitted, and
stating that as they had to grow coffee and molasses by
means of free labour, they should not be exposed. to
unfair competition.
The NOBLE LORD, in answer to a question from Mr.
Hindley, said it was his intention to bring the whole
subject before the House in another Parliament, if he
had a seat in it.
The Lords' amendments to the London and South-
Western Railway Bill were agreed to.
The Jesus Hospital (Newcastle) Estate Bill was read
a third time and passed.
SITTINGS OF THE HOUSE.

On the motion of Mr. BROTHERTON the following
returns were ordered :—A return of the number of days
on which the House sat in the session 1847, stating the
total number of hours occupied in the sittings of the
House, and the average time ; and, also, showing the
number of hours on which the House sat on each day,
and the number of hours after midnight ; and of the
number of divisions in the session 1847 ; stating the
subject of the division, and the number of Members in
the majority and minority, tellers included ; also, the
aggregate number in the House on each division ; dis-
tinguishing, also, the divisions on private Bills from pub-
lic; and, also, the number of divisions before and after
midnight (in continuation of Parliamentary Paper, No.
723 11, of session 1846)

DIRECT BIRMINbIIANI AND LEICESTER
RAILWAY AND MR. MUNTZ.

Mr. BANNERMAN complained of a statement Mr.
Muntz had made at a meeting of the scriphulders
of the Direct Birrringham and Leicester Railway Com-
pany, in the capacity of chairman, reflecting upon the mem-
bers of the Select Committee appointed in 1846 to consi-
der the merits of the scheme. The Committee, the Hon.
Gentleman remarked, unanimously threw out the scheme,
believing it to be a perfect bubble, and it was quite evi-
dent from the manner in which the money of the unfor-
tunate shareholders had been wasted, that their decision
was a perfectly correct one. Mr. Muntz, however,
seemed to think otherwise, which he had a perfect right
to do, but he had no right to attack the Committee in
the manner he had dune at Birmingham on Satur-
day, simply because they did not agree with
him in that respect. The scheme had been
very properly denounced by the Railway Times and the
Railway Record, and it was not fair that the characters
of lion. Members should be impugned because they had
conscientiously done their duty with the public. He had
felt: himself called upon not t) allow this statement of
Mr. Muntz, the Hon. Member for Birmingham, to pass
unnoticed. _ _ _

After a few words from Sir EDMUND FILMER,
who also denounced the statement of Mr. Muntz and his
scheme, the subject dropped.
BISHOPRIC OF MANCHESTER BILL.

Sir GEORGE GREY moved the third reading o
this Bill.

Mr. HUME regretted to be compelled further to
waste th time of the House upon this matter, but upon
principle he must move that the Bill be read a third
time that day six months.
Mr. II WART thought her Majesty's Government
would have acted with more discretion had they post-
poned this question till a future Parliament; but, never-
theless, he must confess that so far as the Bill acknow-
ledged the principle of the non-admission of bishops
' into the House of Lords, he perfectly agreed with it.
Let them, however, improve the efficiency of the working
clergy, and they would be doing far more service to the
people and the country than by establishing new
bishoprics of this sort. Still he did not think that his
Hun. Friend the Member for Montrose would be doing
well to divide the louse at the final stage of the Bill.
Sir J. GRAHAM said he was about to give a con-
scientious vote upon the third reading of this Bill, and
he wished to state his reasons for doing so. Some few
years ago the Noble Lord at the head of the Govern-
ment succeeded in passing a Bill providing for the estab-
liihment of a see of Manchester upon certain con-
ditions. These conditions were the union of the
sees of Bangor and St. Asaph, and upon that event
taking place, it was arranged that a bishopric of Man-
chester should be created, whose incumbent should be
entitled to all the rights and privileges possessed by the
other bishops. None of those conditions had been ob-
served, while this Bill was directly in opposition to that
portion of the arrangement which provided that any
Bishop of Manchester should have a seat in the House
of Lords. Now he altogether objected to that provision.
It was unjust, because it violated the prerogative of the
Crown. The introduction of it by the Government
was tantamount to admitting that the duties of a bishop
could be more effectually performed when the Right
Reverend Prelate had no seat in the Legis-
lature ; but upon the authority of the Bishop
of Chester himself he could state that this
conclusion was perfectly erroneous. But it was
said the present bishops had too much to do, and there-
fore they wanted assistance. It became, then, impor-
tant to ascertain what were the duties of a bishop. True
the bishop was always to be found taking the lead in
promoting the charities within his diocese, but,
upon the whole, he thought it would be found
that the bishops were by no means overworked.
in reference to episcopal matters.—(Hear, hear.) But,
admitting that the bishops were overworked, and re-
quired aid in the performance of their duties, where was
the necessity of departing from the well-established prin-
ciple of every bishop having a seat in the House of
Lords. It was a right established beyond all doubt by im-
memorial usage, and he for one could see no necessity
for departing from the rule upon this occasion. Some-
thing, however, had been said in justification of the
departure from the established rule, of the diminution of
the Irish bench of bishops. But he could trace no justi-
fication whatever in that measure, and he looked upon
the exclusion of the Bishop of Manchester from the
House of Lords with the utmost alarm. The Honour-
able and Learned Member for Bath had told
them that this measure was the forerunner of
the separation of Church and State, and he
was strongly inclined to agree with the Hon. and
Learned Member, for already had disunion and heart-
burnings prevailed in the Church itself', and he was very
much afraid that this measure would only add to the
breach which already existed If they were to have
additional bishops let them clearly lay down the prin-
ciples upon which they should be uniformly
established, and not 3 ield to the dictations of
any one portion of the Church. The conclusion he
had come to, then, was, that this measure would prove
dangerous to the Church, and it was the duty of all
parties who respected the Constitution, or desired its
continuance, to stand in the breach and resist it to the
last breath, however unpopular it might make them in
particular quarters or with a portion of a popular party.
Fur these reasons, therefore, being prefared to sacrifice
popularity to the dictates of his own conscience, he had
come to the conclusion of recording Isis vote against the
third reading of this Bill.
(LEFT SITTING.)

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,
COVENT GARDEN.
Last evening Ernani was reproduced here with the
new prima donna, Mademoiselle Steffanoni as Elvira, in
which part she fully confirmed the favourable impression
on her Mid, and appeared to have entirely overcome
that nervous timidity, which impeded her efforts at her
first appearance. Last night she displayed talents both
histrionic and vocal of the first order, and which claim
for her a prominent position as an actress and a singer.
Her delivery of the Cavatina "Ernani involami" was
singularly beautiful, as was likewise the aria " Vola,
Tempo," and in the trio finale at the close of the fourth
act, gave her an opportunity for a display of talent
which drew forth the most rapturous applause,
in which none joined more heartily than
Madame Grisi, who was present in the boxes.
A vocalist new to the English public, Signor Bettini, of
the Grand Opera, Paris, made his Milt in the tenor
part of Ernuni, which, owing to the unexpected absence
of Salvi, he was called upon at a very short notice to
undertake. Signor Bettini is a native of Milan; he first
became known at Madrid, where he was prinw tenore in
the company directed by Ronconi. He was afterwards
engaged at the Grand Opera, Paris, playing
Edgardo in Lucia, Otello, &c. Bettini's voice is
sonorous, melodious, and- powerful ; his vocalisa-
tion and pronunciation are singularly clear; every
word and even letter is so distinctly uttered as to
be perfectly heard and understood. He did not on any
occasion last night resort to the falsetto; and his organ
is so fresh and vigorous that it is impossible to be in-
sensible to the importance of such an acquisition, not-
withstanding certain minor defects as to method and re-
finement, which he has yet to acquire. His figure is tall
and commanding, his action graceful, and his counte-
nance highly intellectual and expressive. His success
from the moment of the opening cavatina was decided;
the applause at its close was loud and general, and con-
tinued throughout his performance. The house was
crowded.

THE CHIEF COMMISSIONERSHIF OF THE CITY
Ponicy..—ln consequence of the vacancy which will occur
in the Chief Cummissionership of the City Police force
by the resignation of Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, who
is the Liberal candidate for the representation of the
borough of Mar)lebone in the new Parliament, there
are no less than five candidates for the appointment.
The present governor of the New Bridewell Prison,
Bridge-street, Blackfriars, is one of them, and likely to
be, it is said, successful. The emoluments are worth
about 1,200/. per annum. The party is selected by the
Court of Aldermen, and submitted to her Majesty for
approval, being held by patent, independent of the Home-
office.

VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO
THE SQUADRON AT SPITHEAD.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—As SOOR as the royal
tention of visiting the squadron became generally 1009
on shore this morning, the inhabitants of the town and
neighbourhood flocked down to the beach by thousands, •
and before the first salute was fired the batteries, the
ramparts, the tops of the houses, in short, every spot tbsS
commanded a view of the sea, was crowded with speets-
tors_, eagerly gazing on the animated scene which ma
anchorage at Spithead presented to them.
As the Fairy, with the standard at the main, and at' ;
tended by the Undine (the Port Admiral's yacht), OW!
in sight, the whole of the line-of-battle ships eumpriaieb
the fleet, viz., the St. Vincent, 120, flag-ship, the Queen'
110, the Caledonia, 120, the Howe, 120, and the Veil;
geance, 84, manned yards, and fired a royal salute; and
as the yacht approached, each ship made preparations
for receiving the royal visit.
When within a convenient distance, the illustrietil
personages embarked in the state barge, and leaving tb.
yacht proceeded on board the Queen, were they were re'
ceived by Sir Charles Ogle, Sir Henry Leeke (the eat);
tsin), and the other officers of the ship, and by a gustra
of honour of the Royal Marines. Some time was peen •
on board this noble specimen of naval architecture; an
the extreme cleanliness and high order observable ":"
every department elicited repeated expressions of ad 101"
ration and amazement from the august visitors. Cl:g
board the St. Vincent, the Gallant Sir Charles Napier! •
own flag-Lhip, the same ceremonies were gone througu'
and the same well-deserved praise bestowed on the 0:
quisite arrangement apparent throughout. During
time the roya visitors were on board the St. Vincent an,
Queen (the only two ships they visited on this occasion/ .
the standard of England and the Black Eagle of Prussia
(the latter in compliment to Prince Waldemar) were IcePo
flying at the maintop-gallantmast-heads. On the return
of the royal party to the Fairy she immediately hoisted
the standard, and steamed off in the direction of Osborne,
the fleet again manning yards, and the platform battery
at Portsmouth firing a royal salute.
During the sojourn of the Court at Osborne the ball!
of the Royal Marines from Portsmouth is in daily 0'
tendance.

POST-OFFICE REFORM.
On the 28th of May, when the question of Post-office
reform was under discussion in the French Chambeo,l
we published, in correction of some false statistics erf,
ployed by M. Dumon, an abstract of the progress ofot:
own system since the introduction of the plan of Di"
Rowland Hill. To these statements some further Patci
titulars may now be added from a return just present 1$
to the House of Commons. It appears that the tot:d
number of letters per week delivered in the Uillth
Kingdom has augmented from 1,459,761, which wits ,er,
number at the date previous to the first general reall;;
tion of postage on the sth of December, 18390,4.
6,148,876, at which it stood on the 21st of April last, We
increase throughout the entire period having g(l3;pr
steadily on, almost without exception, week by week' 'lli
this total of 6,148,876, about 670,000 pass within „v:
London district post, the increase in which departmelo
is about half as great as that which has taken Place ue
the London General Post. The following is the revelalle
comparison of the year preceding the reduction with-
year ending the sth of January, 1847:

ad/
whence it will be observed that the gross revenue a•re e:
very nearly reaches the amount at which it stood Pero
vious to the alteration, and that the more than four°,
increase abovementioned in the total number of lettet;
delivered in the United Kingdom is obtained by
sacrifice of less than 890,0001. of annual revenue---0,
crifice which, as all the existing returns tend to 50%;
will rapidly diminish each year. It should also be ta
marked, that the above net revenue is exclusive of tr
charges for postage incurred by the Government
partoaents, and that as these have increased fop-,
45,1561. to 114,791/, the difference should be taken
favour of the present account. The payments made ft.,°,
conveyance of the mails by railway appear to 5,
107,8901., but as the charges of one year are tnergvdo
more or less in another, the actual present annual 0901/
cannot be gathered from these returns. The acconliee
money orders issued and paid in England and %Vv.°,
shows that during the quarter preceding the 20th of "ore
vember, 1840 (when the charges were reduced 03,1,4
than one-half), the number issued was only 122,420,1:i,
amount being 196,5071., while for the last quarter
,704
braced in the return (sth April, 1847), the number,,45559 up
was 810,603, and the amount 1,654,2781. Since Ji,n,ich
to the present time, the value of the orders for w)"01
payment had not been claimed has amounted to Z„:
of 500,056/., being a per tentage of about 1 11'1"
Times.

THE HUSTINGS OF TRADE.
As political hustings will soon be erected,
And political parties be duly elected,
E. MOSES and SON having business in view,
A similar subject would beg to pursue.
the subject on which their remarks will be made,
Is simply entitled' The Hustings of Trade."
From the Hastings of Trade many promises fall,
Which, also, are but partly fulfilled—if at all ;
But no one can censure E. MOSES and SON,
For words that they've tittered, or deeds that they've done ;
No promise without a fulfilment is made
By MOSES and SON from "The Hustings of Trade."
They declared that their dress should be made on a plan
Adapted to every respectable man.
They pledged you their word that the cloth should be such
As persons of judgment would estimate much ;
And none can accuse of false promises made—
E. MOSES and SON, from " The Hustings of Trade."
These tradesmen declared they were certainly bent
On saving the public full fifty per cent.
They avowed that their house would be found, on a trial,
The best and the cheapest beyond all denial ;
And no one can say a false promise was made
ISY MOSES and SON, from " The Hustings of Trade."

lt.ll One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the forsner, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact ;it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVEIIWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. Gd. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, D rink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor ..are they the
