IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

THIS DAY, FRIDAY, • MAY 0.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after 12 o'clock.
Mr. Ald. WOOD brought up the London-bridge Ap-
proaches Bill; which was read a third time and passed.
Several private bills were passed through different stages.
Mr. BELL presented a petition from the county of
Northumberland against the General Registry Act, and
two from the same county in favour of the •better Ob-
servance of the Sabbath.
•
TRADES' UNIONS.
Mr. ROTCH, in resuming this subject, sail. the inasters
were not desirous to put down Trades' Unions, but to
protect themselves ; they did not wish to dabble in the
conspiracy laws. The petition which the hon. ranniber
presented yesterday was then laid on the table.
Mr. Sergeant SPANRIE presented a petition from St.
Mary's, Islington, in favour of the better observance of
the Sabbath.—Laid on the table.
Mr. FIELDEN presented petitions from Halifax, }lnd-,
dersfield, Bradford, Derby, and other places in Yorkshire;
numerously signed, praying for a mitigation of the sen-
tence on the Dorchester convicts:

Mr. D. W. HARVEY had been'requested to supiao4:
the prayer of these petitions, and -did so most heartili.%l
He had before said, and would say again, that these 414
had been guilty of no offence_ ; but, if they were, tlit
were strong circumstances inltheir favour. (Hear.) The
petitions were signed by 60,000 persons, and he wishectto
know whether his Majesty's Ministers intended to turn
deaf ear to the prayers of myriads of the people? Did.
they intend to swamp the petitions and defer an inquiry
from day to day, and then at last add scorn to their
negleCt? Six fellow-citizens were suffering an extreme
penalty of the law for that which was no offence, and he
wished to know whether his Majesty's government in-
tended to reconsider the subject?
Mr BROTHERTON supported the petitions.
Mr. MARK PHILLIPS said the Lord Chancellor
had given a decision different from the opinion expressed,
by the hon.. member for Colchester.
Mr. POULTER said he also differed from the hon.
member for Colchester, and was clearly of opinion that
the men had been guilty of an offence at common law.
The great evil, however, was, that the judges had no alter-
native punishment. There ought to be a latitude of
punishment in the criminal law, and the certainty of
punishment should be affixed to the maximum and not to
the minimum.

Lord HOWICK said, Lord Melbourne had thought it
his duty to recommend no mitigation of the sentence.
The petitions were then laid on the table.
Mr. FIELDEN presented a petition from the hand-loom
weavers of the stocking-trade, praying for inquiry into their•
distressed condition with a view to remedial measures ; and
other petitions in favour of the claims of dissenters.—Laid
on the table.

Mr. BROTHERTON presented a petition from Sal-
ford and Hammersmith, praying for alterations in the poor
laws, particularly in reference to the fees to magistrates'
clerks.

Mr. MARK PHILLIPS supported the petitions.
Mr. POTTER also supported the petitions, which were
laid on the table.

Mr. BROTHERTON presented petitions from Ack-
lington, Blackburne, and ifrotfierton (Lancashire), in fa-
vour of dissenters.—Laid on the table. - _

Mr. GORING presented petitions to thp.ta' me effect
from New Shoreham and Hendon.

Mr. GASKELL presented a petition to the same effect
from Wakefield.

Mr. F. SHAW presented a petition from Dublin, signed
by 5,000 persons of all classes, prg.yin,7 that Kilmainham
Hospital might not be abolished-iir redipv4
Mr. O'DWYER hoped that the significres attached to
the petition would not fail to make an impression on his
Majesty's ministers. •
Col. CONOLLY supported the prayer of the petition.
Lord SANDON concurred with the last speaker, on the
principle of conciliating the Irish people, by extending the
advantages that may arise from the expenditure of money
in Ireland.
Mr. H. GRATTAN contended that the removal of
196 old men to Chelsea, from Kilmainhally; viaavery prit=
posterous and unjust.
Mr. FINN reprehended the economy that could suggest
the meditated change as petty and beggarly.
Mr. ELLICE defended the intended removal of those
men, on other grounds besides those of economy. The ar-
rangement he had proposed on the matter he considered would
be attended with many advantages. He did not intend to
take away charters ; he merely wished to obtain a vote
from that house, if the house should think proper to give
it. Schools in England and Ireland for soldiers' children,
in his opinion, did more harm than good to those educated
there ; it led them to immorality and vice to be brought up
in the neighbourhood of large population and large capitals
like London and Dublin, and then let loose upon society,
with all the incentives to crime before them.

Colonel PERCEVAL regretted that so little attention
was paid to national feelings as to contemplate the aboli-
tion of an institution like Kilmainham Hospital.
Mr. GOULBURN differed from the views of the right
hon. the Secretary at War ; the political effects of the pro-
posed change may be very bad, and could not, in his mind,
be countenanced by any considerations whatever. (Hear,
hear, from the Irish members. ).

Sir A. HOPE could not biing himself to agree with
the right hon. the Secretary at War, that the benevolent
institutions of Chelsea and Kilmainham Schools were not
productive of much advantage. The breaking up of those
schools would violate the principles of charity. (Hear,
from the Irish members), and could not be compensated
by any wretched motives of economy. The destruction
of Kilmainham Hospital would be attended with much
personal inconvenience, and could not fail to wound the
feelings of Irish pride. (Hear. )
Colonel EVANS conceived that the sentiment which
existed in Ireland was sufficient to prevent the right
hon. Secretary at War from persevering in his present in-
tention of removing the pensioners from Kilmainham to
Chelsea. The Irish people were attached to those in-
stitutions, and their feelings should be consulted and re-
spected.
Sir A. HOPE followed in explanation of something that
had fallen from the hon. and gallant member (Col. Evans)
who preceded him.
Sir E. CODRINGTON thought that, in the present
instance, it would be a false economy to reduce the esta-
blishment at Kilmainham. He thought it was of the
highest importance that, in Ireland particularly, the inte-
rest of the army ought to be carefully attended to.
Mr. D. CALLAGHAN supported the petition, and
said, that there was a strong feeling in Ireland upon the
subject of the removal of the Arsenal from Cork. The
feeling in respect to Kilmainham was equally strong and
general.

- The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. DAWSON presented petitions from various places
in the county of Leicester, praying that the dissenters might
be relieved from their grievances.

Sir IL SIMEON pie'sented a petition from the clergy
of the Isle of Wight, upon the subject of tithes.
Mr. ROT CH presented petitions from the coopers of Lon-
don, and from the operative woollen manufacturers of Leeds
and other places, praying that some measures might be
taken to relieve them from the oppression of the trades'
unions. -

Mr. GOULBURN presented a petition from the
vicar, churchwardens, and inhabitants of the parish of
Tiverton, praying that the house would not accede to the
claims of the dissenters.

CAMBRIDGE PETITION.
The Right Hon. Gentleman then presented a petition from
809 under graduates of the University of Cambridge,
praying that the house should not accede to the claims of
the dissenters to be admitted to graduate at the University.
Both on account of the number, the intelligence, and
the respectability of the petitioners, their sentiments
upon this question, were entitled to the most serious at-
tention of the house.

Mr: STEWART, who stated that he was a member of
the senate of the university of Cambridec, said that t e
could see no danger in the admission of dissenters to gra-
duate at the university.
Mr. POLLOCK supported the petiton. Whilst he
did so, however, he admitted that the dissenters should
not suffer under any civil disabilities as regarding degrees
in medicine, or admission to the Inn ( Hear. )
The Earl of KERRY contended that at Oxford, at
least, there was no system of religious instruction to which
the admission of dissenters could offer any impediment. He
regretted to see so many signatures attached to the present
petition.
Mr. GODSON was supporting. the petitioA, when, it
being three o'clock, the SYEAICER left the chair.

- -
Mr. Grattan's " Heiress of Bruges," a love
story of the most romantic interest, is .to form the
next volume of that deservedly popular Library of
Entertainment, " The Standard Novels." This work,
which exhibits the stirring history of the most ener-
getic struggle ever made against bigotry and tyranny—
that of the Low Countries against their Spanish op-
pressors—must now, in so cheap a form, insure a most
extensive circulative.

COURT OF CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.)

PRICE V. WILLIAMS.-WIE PIRIT OF LITIGATION.

This case exhibited proceedings rarely to. be met with.
Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. KEENE were for the
plaintiff, and Mr.' RolsE and Mr. BELLAMY for the de-
fendant. The application came on for discussion yesterday,
and was continued to-day, in the form of an appeal from
an order made by his Honour the Vice-Charceller.
The substance of the statements made at the bar
was to this effect : —The plaintiff had been put to a
preparatory school in Wales for a few years, and
subseqfiently to a boy's school for five years ; the
bill was filed, calling for accounts to ascertain whether
the money expended for him fell short or was over during
the one period of 20/., and during the other period of 30/.
a year ; the whole question, in point of fact, being as to
181. The office copy of the bill cost the defendant
12/. ; an answer was put- in, the office copy of which
cost the plaintiff 33/., and the office copy of the
schedule annexed thereto 271. Six hundred and
Arty-three exceptions were taken by the plaintiff
to the answer, for impertinence, which the Vice-Chancel-
4or refused to refer to the Master taking advantage of a
slip in the form of an order that had been obtained,
which the rules of the court admitted of; and considering
that it was mercy to all parties to refuse the application
and thereby put .an end to the proceedings. The
appeal- was from that decision. Provided the par •
ties went - into the Master's office upon this troop
of ex.mtiqw,• the mbability was, frem the
positionikitherto exhibited, as many exceptions would
be taken to the Master's report, and in the end the
discussilkns upon them could not cost less than 1,500/., and
the inquiry now was, what course was to he taken.
At the conclusion of the strenuous arguments used on
both sides,
The Loan CHANCF.LLOR stated that he could not help
feeling with his Honour that it would be in ,mercy to all
parties to put an end to the case in the present stage.
It was true that the answer was infinitely. more elaborate
than it needed to have been, and was in many parts imper-.
tinent. The exceptions, on the other hand, it was clear,
could not by possibility - all 'succeed. The precision
of language which they would seem to require in
an answer, went far beyond all precedent The degree
of precision they pointed out as the standard rule for an
answer, far surpassed all Greek and Roman fame. The
precision of Melba was completely thrown into the shade
by what was before the court. (Laughter.) By the new
rules, when parties went into the Master's office upon ex-
ceptions, the party excepting had to pay 10s. into the fee
fund upon every, exception upon which he failed ; and the
party on the other side had to pay ss. into the same fund,
upon every exception on which the excepting party suc-
ceeded. Admitting that it was likely the exceptant on the
present occasion succeeded in the Master's office on 443 of
his exceptions, the other party would have to pay upwards
of 100/. into the fee fund; . and supposing he failed on the
remaining 200 exceptions, he would have to pay the fund 100/.
and this was leaving all the expense of the solicitors and
attendances of counsel on both sides entirely out of the
question. Would it then not be more prudent to stay
further proceedings, and let each party put up with the
expense he had been at, and be content ? (Laughter.)
The plaintiff had paid 33/. for the copy of the averment;
presuming that he would succeed on all the exceptions but
two hundred (which was a very fair allowance), still he
would be infinitely out of pocket beyond what he now was,
and, considering the danger of the voyage, 33/. was an ex-
ceedingly small rate of insurance, regard being had to the
great chance there was of foundering and sinking altoge-
ther. The plaintiff, it appeared, had offered to refer the
whole matters in dispute, costs and all, to a barrister. If
the interests of the parties had been consulted, undoubt-
edly that offer would have been accepted. What
appeared, under all the circumstances, to the Court to
be just, was this, that as the plaintiff had put the defendant
to 12/. costs for the copy of the bill, and the defendant put
the plaintiff to 33/. costs for the copy of the answer, the
one sum ought to be deducted from the other, the balance
paid by the defendant to the plaintiff, the present motion
dismissed, and 'each party left to pay his own costs. His
lordship wished to know if both sides would agree to that.
The SomerfoU- GENERAL (for the plaintiff) was willing
to accede to it.

Mr. RoLFE'iclient felt a difficulty in agreeing to that
dnese at the nloinent.-

The LORD CHANCELLOR would mellow it still a little
further for the defendant's palate, and then if he did not
choose at once to accept of that, he (his Lordship) would
dispose of the case himself, and in his own way. By the
line he had pointed out, the defendant would have to pay
211. to the defendant ; the Court would say, let the 33/.
be halved, so as to make it about 161. that the defendant
should pay to the plaintiff. Let the motion be dismissed,
and each party pay his own costs.

Mr. ROLFE assented to that, and so the case was dis-
posed of.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT,L-(THIS DAY.)

EX-PARTE BUCKS.-MINE ACCOUNT.
•
PRIVATE BILLS.

This was a petition under a private Act of Parliament,
praying for the distribution of a fund among four children
of the testators.
His HONOUR, in granting the prayer of the petition,
stated that he understood that Government were now exa-
mining very closely several learned persons with regard to
the mode of passing private bills. His Honour had had a
conversation with Mr. Tyrrell upon the subject, who had
informed him that he had undergone a very long exami„a_
tion.

COLONIAL MARKETS.—(THIS DAY.)
BRITISH PLANTATION SUGAR.—The Market iS Still
dull, but the holders will not submit to lower prices. The
sales of the week have been about 1,100 hhds. of Grenada.
126 hhds. have been sold at 545. (id. to 575. 6d. per cwt.,
for good.to fine sorts.
FOLEIGN Sucait.—White Havannahs have sold at
235. to 30s. per cwt. for mid. good strong, which are full
prices. Brazil Sugars are Is. to Is. 6d. per cwt. higher.
About 200 boxes of white Havannahs have been sold pri-
vately at 295. per cwt. -
EAST INDIA SUGAR.—The last importation of -the old
crop in first hands will be offered to-day, but new supplies
are daily expected. The private sales have rather exceeded
4,000 bags, at steady prices. Manillas have been offered
to the extent of 4,100 bags, and chiefly sold at 235. to
245. per cwt. for good ; and at 235. to 235. 6d. per cwt.
for low middling yellow.
REPINED SUGAR.—Fide crashed has been sold at
31s. 6d. per cwt., and a few lots at 325. There are buyers
in the market at the former quotation.
TEAs._.The trade is still in an active state.
Cor•FEE,._Only one parcel of British Plantation has
been put up to sale during the week, which was withdrawn
it last week's quotations; the trade appears determined
not to buy Inure than flick require for immediate use.
Foreign and East India Coflees have been rather more,in-
quired for, but there not being, generally speaking, sellers

of the former at the late reduction, and a sale of 20:100 bag.;
of 13razil coming forward this afterhaon, no busineis ha.
been done privately, beyond 200 bags of bold, good oa•
nary St. Domingo, at 535. 6d. Of Ceylon (the descripea
of East India most in demand) there is at present us
little in the market, that holders are asking aa 525. ler
similar- quality to that done on Friday at 50s. ; about
600 bags have been done since this day week from
50s. to Ms. ; about 100 bags of good ordinary Ba-
tavia at 525. ; and a few bold green Samarangs, from 48s. fid'.
to 495. Public sales have contained 149 bales of .Mecha,
209-bags Sumatra, 1,221 'bags Brazil, and 533 bags St.
Domingo ; the Mocha sold at a reduction ;of 2s. to 3s. •
bold green garbled 60s. 6d. to 615., and bold fair greenish
and yellow mixed 635. to 655.. , The Surnatras were with-
draWn at 445. for ordinary quality; the St. Domingo and
Brazil were offered on Friday last, twhen the former was
all taken in at 535. for good ordinary, but the Brazil,
found buyers from 525. to 535. Gd. for goal ordinary with
colour, being for this latter description a further reductica:
of Is. upon our last week's quotations.
SPICES.-Cassia has declined Is. Gd. per cwt. ; about
1,060 have been offered in sale during the week, but were
•only partly realised from 725. to 735.. for low middling
quality: The Pepper market remains without variation.
Rum.—The notice given •by the Commissioners of •the
Navy for the contract. of 75,000 gallons. of Rum for the
use of.the navy has rendered the market rather more firm.
TOBACCO.-In export qualities there has ben • rather
more business done during the last month 'than was anti-
cipated,
although prineitially confined to small parcels for
immediate use. 'The shipments have been to Spain of the
purchases made in March, and others to Holland, Flanders,
Bremen, and the South of Europe. • About 200 hhds. of
good dark sweet scent have also been taken for the Rhine,
at about 434 d. to sd. Of this description our stock is very
small, as the cargo which arrived in March, and sampled
last month, turned out .but a very small proportion that-
was in condition. Two cargoes of refused tobacco have
also been taken, one about 225. per 100 lb. Manifest weight
for Antwerp, and the • other about Gd. supposed for
Hamburg or Bremen. Further supplies are shortly ex-
pected to arrive, but at this season of the year the condi-
tion cannot be calculated upon.
SALTPETRE.-The prices remain unchanged. - The• East
India Company have declared 500• tons for their ni xt sale.
Corscoaz.—There is very little doing, and the market is
heavy.
TALLOW.—The arrivals during the week have been 630
casks from St. Petersburgh. The market is still at 435.
per cwt.
INDIGO.—The market is still very active, at the prices
last noticed. The accounts from Calcutta state that pur-
chases are making there at prices which would require
higher quotations here than the present, to return a profit
on importation ; quotations are therefore expected higher.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 27.—The decision of
the Court of Appeal in the affair of M. Cramer, re-
versing the decision of the Tribunal of Antwerp, which
ordered the suspension of the decree of . expulsion
against M.'Cramer, was founded chiefly on the ground
that the judicial and executive powers being inde-
pendent of each other, the tribunal had no right to
stop the execution of an act of the executive autho-
rity, by doing which the judicial power would inter-
fere with another branch totally independent of it, and
would assume a superiority over the executive, which
would lead to serious collisions. The constitution
has, besides, provided against the case of a minister
who should violate the law, by making him respon-
sible for his acts. In the present case, there being a
decree issued by the King as the executive authority,
and signed by the Minister of Justice, who directs the
execution of it on his responsibility, the tribunal could
not oppose the execution of it without violating the
constitutional principle of the independence of the se-
veral powers of the state.
MURDER AT CARRANYCULLA.—A cruel
murder was committed in the neighbourhood of Car-
ranyculla, in this county, on the evening of the I 7th
inst. It appears that without any provocation given
on the part of Edward Brahmin, deceased, John
Regan, in cold blood, struck him with a log of wood,
and inflicted on his head a mortal wound, in conse-
quence of which he, after lingering a few hours, ex-
pired. On hearing of the transaction, the chief con-
stable of the Swinford district, with his party, pro-
ceeded to arrest Regan, but before he arrived Regan
had absconded. He then pursued him in the direc-
tion of Oldcastle, where Regan had crossed the river
Moy, and got into the mountains. Night then came
on, and the police were forced to give up the pursuit.
Mr. Atkinson, the coroner, was then sent for, and on
the following day he, accompanied by Drs. 'Montgo-
mery and Gauly, arrived at Swinford, and with the
chief constable and jury repaired to Carranyculla,
where an inquest was held on deceased, and the body
examined. The verdict was, " That the deceased
came by his death in consequence of a wound inflicted
on his head by the said John Regan, of Carranyculla,
with a log of wood." A warrant was then granted
by the coroner for Regan's apprehension, but it is
supposed he has left the. country. Drabazon was a
man of very good character, lAA Regan a quarrelsome
fellow._ll,la.yo Ptiper.
