GERMAN NEWS.

A uGsnuaa, MAY I.—A long-wished for acceleration of
the despatch of the mails, in various directions, began to-day,
in enniequince of which the Algetheine Zeitung will arrive at
Vienna t 4 hours sooner than it has hitherto done. and like-
wise tho Italian States. We shall receive the Vi nna mail
20 hours earlier than hitherto, and thus be able to give the
the nev s from Vienna arid .Constantinople to our readers in
the West of Lurop so much the sooner. To.tethtT with these
highly laudable arrangements of the Bavarian and Au.trian
Governments, to the rapid communicatien between Aug-burg
arid Munich by the iron railway has a very favourable effect.
TURKISH I. ROSTIERS, APIL 20.—Baron Lie en, the Rus-
sian Plenipotentiary, left Belgrade on the 12th, to return by
way of Semlin and St. Peter:burgh. While in Servia he had
frequent conferences both with Prince Michael and the Pacha
of Belgrade. The Pacha is most esteemed in Belgrade and
zll Servia for his probity and moderation ; he does all in his
power to ma'ntain tranquillity and peace in the country.
The Russian Consul, too, has changed his conduct since
Baron Leaven was here, and is on much better terms with the
young Prince.

On the 10th of April a private proclamation was is.ued, an-
nouncing that the lea.ler in the late troubles at Wuesitsch
Simitsch and Garra<chan remain exiled from the country for
an indefinite time, but that A. Petromenitsc is at liberty to re-
turn to his estates in Servia, but he, too, has been so deeply
implicated in the plots of the party ugain4 the country a'td the
Prince's family, that ste cannot believe that he will make use
of this p °position. The conduct of Lieven, his agreeable man-
Ler, his conciliatory language, his sincere endeavours to
strengthen the authority of the Prince, &c., have made a very
ge.od impression on the party above mentioned. Ex-coun-
sell.,rs are dis atisfied and almost furious. and manifest this
feeling, esi.eci.lly towards the Itu.siait Consul, who seems to
have held out too great hopes to them.
l'he serviAn Senaie is still partly opposed to the Ministers,
but it is not unanimous in itself. It is said that in some dis-
trict,' of Servia the inhabitants have refused to pay the taxes,
and that in one pla.m disturbances ensued, which are, however,
put an end to by the armed force.

LONDON:
FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1841.

The Commons having given up that ureful practice for the
people—though harrassing for both Ministerial and Oppositimi
Leaders—of discussing subjects on the presentation of peti
tiona, we now never have any of these short, pithy, and pointed
debates which served formerly both to delight the people ane
promote the public liberties. They are still retained in the
Lords, and now that a topic is thrown before them whiei,
warmly engages the affections of men upwards of fifty years of
age (touching their pockets), their Lordships seem likely to
have some of those pithy debates night after night. Earl
FITZWILLIAM, on giving notice that he would to-day preent
a petition from Leeds, and on being questioned by Lord
ASHBURTON, said he did not mean to discuss the subject
of Corn-laws till after the expected proceedings -of the House
of Commons.

Lord ASHBURTON thought if their Lordships vraited till
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S three measures to
obtain money without taxes were completed they never woulc
have the discussion. The Noble Lord, returning to the
graphic language of his younger days, when he was wont t(
speak in favour of honesty, described the Ministerial plan as a
bubble.

Earl FITZWILLIAM retorted so happily on the Noble Lion:
that we should only mar the retort by abridging it, and we,
therefore, refer to it. The debate is a good specimen of what
the Commons sacrificed by not allowing debates on petitions.
In answer to Lord ELI. E NBOILOUG 11 the Lord Cli A Nee-lA.OK
stated that rules for the proceedings in Chancery had beet:
framed, but he could not say when they would be in a fit state
to lay before Parliament.

The Duke of ARGYLL brought in his Bill for the settlement
of the Scotch Church disputes, but the Noble Duke was not
successful in making its provisions known to the reporter. Thy
Peers properly declined, as the Earl of ROSELIERY stated, t(
discuss the Bill at any length till it was printed, so that we arc
in the dark as to its provisions.

The Earl of ABERDEEN indeed objected to it that it legalised
the Vcto Law, and he declared that the Scotch clergy had
taken up a false position, and whether they retired with a goon
grace or not, retire they must.
The Earl of ROSEBERY mid that the modifications of the
veto in the Bill were not incon.,iderable.

Lord DUNFERMLINE could not give it his support, and he
highly approved of the present mode of appointing the priests in
Scotland.

The Marquis of BREADALBANE approved:of the Bill.
The Earl of HADDINGTON said it gave a power to the
Church and the people they ought not to possess.
The Marquis of NORMA NBY reserved the expression of his
opinion. The Bill was of course read a first time.

The Bill declaring the abolition of privilege in cases of felony
was read a second time, and at a Quarter before Nine the
House Adjourned.
'I he Commons were amused by a petition from Sir H. LEES
for the expul•ion of the Jesuits.

jArd Q. LENNOX gave notice of a motion on the 12th, for
a Committee on the Naval and Military Report, so far as that
relates to the Marines.

Lord J. RUSSELL stated the precise words of the motion he
will submit to.night, for which see our report.
Lord How►cx objected to the proposed mode of proceeding
as involving two divisions; but af►er a few words from Sir R.
PEEL, it appeared that the proposed plan will be adhered to.
Lord Jof►F RUSSELL will make a statement, and then Lord
SANOON Will make his motion ; if that motion be successful,
then, and only then, as we understand it, will Lord J. Russzu.
move his resolution.

The Lords' amendments to the South Australian Bill were
agreed to.

In answer to Mr. WALTER, Lord JOHN said he should pro-
