a reward for industry and general good conduct. On
all subjects of modern policy, his Lordship's opinions
are known to be decidedly liberal.

Dr. BOWRING left town yesterday evening for
Paris, to resume his official duties in that capital.

We understand that the people of Scotland are
dissatisfied w'ith Lord ALTHORP for not equalizing
the duty on Scotch and Irish Whiskey, intimating that
the low rate at which Irish whiskey is charged,will tend
materially to limit the consumption in Scotland.
We have likewise heard that there is to be a meeting
to-day of the Scotch Members; for the purpose of
impressing upon the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER, the unfair partiality of the proposed duties
with regard to Ireland.

The Universities Dissenters' Admission Bill was
last night read a third time, and passed in the Com-
mons. In the Lords it will meet the " tug of war."

The Paris Papers, which we have just received, con-
tain no news of any importance, except that another
prosecution of the Press has taken place, and that the
editor of the National has been sentenced to six
months' imprisonment, and a fine of 500 francs, for a
libel on Louis PHILIPPE. The libel was to the
effect, that the King of the French was personally
responsible for all the acts of his Government.

In Spain all is yet tranquil. The cholera still con-
tinues its ravages in Madrid ; though we are happy
to announce that the murderous attack on the con-
vents has led to no further disturbance ; and that
by the QUEEN'S authority peace now reigiis in

the Spanish capital.' Her MAJESTY, as Regent,
on learning the nature of the insurrectionary attack
on the convents, issued a proclamation, forbidding
more than ten persons to assemble in any part of
the city, and to counteract the public impression,
that the authorities were not opposed to the violent
proceedings of the common people, she ordered their
instant removal. The promptitude and firmness
of such a proceeding struck terror into the hearts of
the insurgents, and forthwith every hand was stayed
which had been raised against the public peace. There
is no additional information respecting Don CARLOS
and his deluded followers. The Cortes were to meet
on the 24th inst.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

THIS DAY, TUESDAY, JULY 29.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships met this morning at ten o'clock, and proceedei
to hear further evidence in support of the Warwick Borough Dis
franchisement Bill.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at twenty minutes past twelve,
NEW MEMBERS.

Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE the new Member for Nottingham ; and
General Sir E. BARNES, the new Member for Sudbury, took the
oaths and their seats.
On the motion of Alderman THOMPSON, the Durham and
Sunderland railway Bill wasread a third time and passed.
HOWEL'S DIVORCE BILL.
On the motion of Mr. TOOKE, the House resolved itself into
a Committee of the whole House, upon Howel's Divorce Bill.
Mr. TOOKE in the Chair.
The proceedings were then resumed, and several witnesses were
examined in support of the Bill.
Counsel and witnesses having withdrawn,
Mr. HUGHES HUGHES contended that there had not been
sufficient evidence laid before them to authorise them to
pass the Bill. It had altogether the appearance of collusion, for
according to the testimony of one of the witnesses, the woman
went about trumpeting her own disgrace, and had given no opposi-
tion to the Bill. He submitted to the House that the preamble of
the Bill had not been proved.
Mr. PRYME submitted that the evidence was sufficient. It
was not necessary to prove impossibility of access between the hus-
band and wife ; a reasonable probability was all that was necessary,
and no argument against the Bill could be brought forward from
the circumstance of the wife not having offered any opposition to it.
Mr. O'DWYER supported the view of the case which had been
taken by the Hon. Member for Oxford (Mr. H. Hughes.) He
wished that the practice of the Church of which he was an un-
worthy member was more generally adopted, and that those whom
God had joined no man should part.—( Hear, hear.)
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET supported the Bill.
The preamble was then put and carried, and the Bill went
through Committee. The Chairman then brought up the report,
and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time this day week.
SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COLONIZATION.

Mr. SPRING RICE moved the order of the day for the House
resolving itself into a Committee of the whole House on the South
Australian Colonization Bill.
Mr. A. BARING contended that the Bill was founded upon the
most mistaken views that were ever adopted by any set of experi-
mentalists, and that it would be the most judicious course to post-
pone its further consideration to next session. Why, if these theo-
retic and scientific men (who, by-the bye, were considered b' Fre-
derick of Prussia and Napoleon as the worst possible persons to
establish a practically good form of Government), wished to make
an experiment, had they not selected some moderate sized farm or
cabbage-garden, instead of taking a tract of country embracing
nine degrees of longitude, and bounded merely by the great
geographical line of the tropic of Capricorn ? He objected also
to this Bill, because it was intended as a speculation, by which a
large sum of money was to be raised by mortgage, and thus the ma-
nagement and future government of the country. would be taken out
of the hands of the Crown and the responsible executive. He had
no objection to the establishment of new colonies, provided they
were set on foot in the ordinary and legitimate mode ; but he de-
cidedly objected to the present experiment, which was founded upon
interested motives, without any view to the benefit of the par-
ties who might be induced to emigrate, which must tend
to throw discredit upon emigration itself.--(Hear, hear.)
He should really like to know if 100 square miles would not be
enough for these gentlemen to play their pranks in. If the experi-
ment succeeded, they might add another 100 square miles, and
another 100 after that; but why should they block up the half
of a great continent ? The very distance would make it
impossible to form a settlement to any great extent.—(Hear,
hear.) Emigrants might get to America in thirty days,
and from Ireland for 31., and therefore 50,000 persons had
emigrated thither in the course of a year. He belieVed
such emigration to be a practical relief, and not a mere drop in
the ocean ; and that the system, if well followed up, would relieve
the immense population of this country. But in the present in-
stance the distance was too far; they might succeed in carrying
out a few thousands, but never their tens or hundreds of thousands.
Another part of the Bill enacted that emigrants should pay 12s. an
acre for all the land, and that they were to have no credit, so that
whether the land was good or bad, sheep-walks, or the richest
arable land, the principle of paying 12s. an acre was not to be de-
parted from. He spoke from experience in matters of this sort,
having in the early part of his life spent many thousands in settle-
ment;, and he would pledge his existence upon the fact, that the
principle of paying 12s. an acre and not allowing any credit
could not be practically acted upon, and yet upon those princi-
ples the scheme mainly restel He had five or six thousand acres
of land in the best parts of Pennsylvania, and he would be glad to
sell it for half the money, and at very good credit into the bargain.
No man emigrating could take less than 100 acres of land, which
would cost him in ready money 1201. The expense of moving
would be about 120/. more, and he would put it to any man ac-
quainted with the people of this country, to say whether they
would find men ready to lay out these sums of money in
sitting down upon two hundred acres of land amidst kanga-
roos and still wilder inhabitants.—(Hear, hear.) Ile ad-
mitted that he never knew an instance of a sober and temperate
and working man going out without acquiring independence and
comfort ; but he could also state, that if a small English farmer
with his few hundred pounds were to make the experiment, he
would repent of it. Let the labouring man who was able to work
go as soon as he could, he had nothing to fear. This colony was
not to have the convict labour, so that the small farmer sating
down with his 5001. must expect that the labourers from England
would come and work for. him. He (llr. Baring) was sure that
the labourers of this country would not go to such a distance
to work for others ; yet this was the ground-work of
this Bill. The Honourable Member further objected to the
Society being empowered to borrow money to an unlimited extent.
It was indeed provided that those who lent money should have it
back upon three months notice, but how were they in three months
to get back the money from the tropic of Capricorn ?
was
sure, after the fullest consideration, that the Bill, as it stood, would
be fraught with the worst consequences, and he would therefore
conclude by moving that the report be received this day six months.
Mr. WHITMORE in reply defended the principle of the
Bill, and read an extract from the evidence of Captain
Stuart, to prove that convict labour would not be required
in the colony, and that free labour would be encouraged and
liberally remunerated. Although the price of the whole of
the land was fixed at 12s. per acre, it was not to be
supposed that the good land would not be first bought up, and in
proportion to the progress of cultivation, the price of land would
necessarily rise. As to the distance, and the improbability of labour
going so far, he would remark that the expenses of such emi-
grants outwards would be paid for them. This colony would
give an opportunity for the employment of the surplus ca-
pital and population of England, and while it would advance
civilization throughout the world, it would be of immense advan-
toge to the mother country, inasmuch as it would provide ample
employment for our superabundant skill and talerat.
Mr. O'DWYER thought the project would be of no benefit to
Ireland.

Mr. S. RICE thanked the Hon. Member for Essex for the
manner in which he had taken up this question. Government was
not unaware of the difficulties the Hon. Member had mentioned,
but the feasibility of the plan overbalanced them, and therefore Go-
vernment had determined to countenance it, deeming it one of its
duties to extend the glory of the British name to the remotest ends
of the earth.—( Hear. ) He did not, however, ask the House to
agree to the scheme without due examination and inquiry, which
he was sure would have the effect of recommending the experiment
to their support, and prove it was not a mere joint-stock company
affair.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Essex might
depend upon it that the plan would be conducted under most
