LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1851.

In the Howe of Lords last night,

A short conversation took place on tho subject of the
erection of a Protestant place of Worship in Rome, in
the course of which the Marquis of LANsoowNE ex-
pressed his fear that no liberality wag to be expected
from Roman Catholic Governments towards Protestant:.

The :loyal assent was given by Colsamision to severs.
Bills.

The Patent Law Bill was thrown out.

Several Bills were forwarded a stage, and their Lord-
ships adjourned.
In the House of Commons,
The report of the Committee on the attendance of
Members at the bar of the House of Peers was read,
and resolutions founded thereon were agreed to.
In answer to Sir DE LACY EVANS,
_ . _ _

Lord PALMERSTON said that the Government could
not interfere in the affairs of Naples, but that he had
directed the British representatives at foreign Courts to
bring tinder the notice of the Governments to which
they were accredited the pamphlets which had been
recently published by Mr. GLADSTONE.

Mr. HUME moved that the evidence taken before the
Income-tax Committee be printed.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the
motion, and on a division, it being discovered that there
were only thirty Members present, the House adjourned

This day the Parliamentary Session of 1851 will
be brought to a conclusion. Many and serious as
have been the backslidings of former years, perhaps
the difference between promise and performance has
never been more painfully conspicuous. There was
a reckless procrastination—an anxiety to postpone
any and every subject of the slightest importance
until a more convenient season. The Ecclesias-
tical Titles Assumption Bill will be the
chief monument of legislatorial labour dur-
ing the year of the Great Exhibition, as it
consumed the greater portion of time not de-
voted to merely formal business, and in saying this,
we believe that it would be difficult, if not impossible,
to pass a stronger censure on the proceedings.
Even to the very last, matters were conducted in
the same spirit. Although the House of Commons,
contrary to our expectations, made acreditable attempt
to pass the Patent Law Amendment Bill—although
by a laudable effort it repaired the evil occasioned by
the discourteous conduct of the legislative GRIMALDI,
no benefit was derived from these exertions,
It was true that the Earl of MINT° moved that the
Commons' amendments should be agreed to, but he
did so in the style of Sergeant LENS, " very faintly,
and as if without a hope of success." The Noble
Lord, in fact, invited opposition, by stating that the
amendments " were of such a nature that it was al-
most too much to ask their Lordships, at this period
of the session, to assent to them." On the first
show of resistance, although proceeding from one
of the least influential Members of the Upper
House, and that resistance actually courted, the mea-
sure was abandoned and rejected without a division.
It was, in fact, as if a strongly armed convoy had sent
out flanking parties to ascertain the chances of attack,
and to rouse any sleeping opponent, and that, on
discovering a boy armed with a pop-gun, they had
fled in disorder, abandoning the goods they had un
dertaken to protect. We cannot imagine a more
suitable comparison for the ignominious surrender
of one of the few measures of practical utility which
might have in some degree redeemed that reproach
that must now attend the session just concluded, and
that on the first summons of the Lord MONTEAGLE ! ! !
But why should we wonder ? greater events have
sprung from more trivial causes? The cackling of a
goose saved the capitol—the hissing of the ci decant
SPRING Rica, who was pitchforked into the Upper
House by the Whigs in order that they might get
rid cf an incompetent Chancellor of the Exchequer
—oh that Sir CHARLES WOOD had received similar
promotion !—has thrown impediments in the way of
inventors for another (we trust only for another)
year.

The proceedings in other matters were of a similar
character ; the same temporising and procrastinating
policy was perceptible in every matter and on every
point brought under the notice of Parliament. The
myth of PENELOPE'S web received a new illustration,
the labours of one portion of the Legislature being
neutralized by the other. Thus the Marriages
Affinity Bill, which on successive years had been
carried in the House of Commons by large and over-
whelming majorities, was rejected by the hereditary
legislators—lawn sleeves being on the occasion
" Thick as leaves on Vallambrosa—"
the Right Rev. gentry being apparently as anxious
to get their fingers into the pie,' as if another Hor-
field Manor was surrendered to their tender mercies,
to be dissevered from the property of the Church,
and transferred to that of the individual bishop.
Again the Oath of Abjuration Bill came up from
the Commons with unusual prestige. The matter
related solely to the House of Commons,
which should be the best judge of the
privileges and qualifications necessary for its own
Members. With singular, and, as we conceive, most
uncalled-for delicacy, it declined adjudicating on the
matter of its authority, as it might, and with any
degree of proper self-respect, would have done.. The
question lay in a nutshell. A precedent bad been
established in the case of Mr. PEASE that should have
been decisive on the point. There was no truckling
on the part of the popular branch of the Legislature,
while the Reform Act was yet recent, and its effects
perceptible in the conduct of the representatives
of the people. That exaggerated complaisance was
reserved for a later period—for the second moiety
of the 19th century. Subsequent statutes,
more especially the 1 and 2 Victoria, cap. 105,
might have removed any doubts as to the validity of
the tendered oaths. But the Commons behaved like
a timid maiden, referring the pressing suitor to its
elder relative, and "ask my Ma " was the only
answer which Alderman SALOMONS could obtain to
his earnest solicitations. We need not state the un-
toward result. The question stands over for the
present, and will, most probably, be decided
by one of the legal tribunals of the coun-
try, and the House of Commons will have
abdicated its natural functions without any sufficient
cause, and without any recompense.
It would be too painful a task to go through the
various subjects respecting which complaints might
justly be preferred; we shall, therefore, only refer to
the proceedings on the Property and Income-tax
Bill. In place of dealing with the subject in a
manly and straightforward manner, and making
such alterations as would render the impost,
if not altogether equitable, at least in
some
degree approximating thereto, the 'louse
transferred the responsibility to a Select Committee,
renewing the measure for a single year with all its
imperfections. Although the appointment of the
Committee was thus carried, more than a month
elapsed before the nomination of its members, which
might never have taken place if Mr. HUME had not
surrendered his privileges to Sir CHARLES WOOD,
and enabled the Right Henourable Baronet
to constitute it so that no possible ad-
vantages could be derived from its labours.
We now find that although evidence was taken it is
not to be published, and that, in fact, the country is
to be left in the dark on this all-important subject
until next year. Let Ministers, however, pause,
they may press too strongly on the national forbear-
ance. The income-tax is a subject on which no
trickery will now be tolerated or sanctioned. The
manoeuvres of Sir CHARLES WOOD on this point
led to the Ministerial difficulties of the present ses-

An ele tt

elegant and gratifying token of their apprecia-
tion of the energy and talent of Mr. PAXTON, in
cmjrig his dtsigia of tiA_ Crystal ktAlue to be, sucm.

cessfully carried out, was paid on Tuesday last to '
that distinguished man by the gentry of the good
town of Derby. Not the least interesting feature of
the entertainment was the presence of the princely
owner of Chatsworth, who enjoys the proud con-
sciousness of having in years gone by given a helping
hand to the steady and hardworking youth who was
destined one day to win so high a station in the ranks
of nature's nobility, and of witnessing the world-
renowned fruits of his former generous patronage.
When the design for the unparalleled structure was
first propounded by Mr. PAXTON, it was regarded by
many with astonishment verging on incredulity, but
the Duke of DEVONSHIRE knew his man. He felt a
thorough confidence in the powers and perseverance
of one whom "he had never known to fail in any-
thing he had undertaken," in his " well-regulated,
clear, and active mind—his powerful and persevering
will," and it was with a generous and just exultation
that be was enabled on Tuesday evening to proclaim
his pride in being connected with the pcssessor of
" mind, intetrity, simplicity, and talent, to enjoy
whose confidence was as gratifying to his (the Duke's)
feelings as his extensive services had been conducive
to his worldly prosperity." Cordially do we unite in
the certainty expressed by the noble speaker that,
should the arrangements and regulations of the
Crystal Palace hereafter be confided to the inventor,
" its merits and advantages in a second state would
be as striking and as well appreciated as they were in
the first."

The speech of the honoured guest of the occasion
afforded an interesting expression of the feelings
which inspired him, from the very first, as regarded
the stupendous edifice. " When the Exhibition,"
said he, " was first propounded, I hailed it with un-
mixed pleasure ; it appeared to me like a beam of
light of vast magnitude, embracing a field of opera-
tion, the true advantages of which could only be felt
in after times, when the great efforts made would un-
fold themselves in a thousand different and unlooked
for channels This is the seed time, the harvest will
assuredly follow. Not only will the mechanical in-
genuity of man find means for extended improve-
ment, but the social nature of man will receive its re-
wards in the sweeping away of national prejudice,
and establishing between nation and nation, and man
and man, a kinder appreciation of each other's worth,
and a more charitable view of each other's frailties."
And of the correctness of those views we are now,
fortunately, enabled to judge from the ex-
perience of the last three months. Nor can
the lucid statements made - by Mr. PAXTON,
of his connexion with the magnificent scheme,
and the reasons which induced him to furnish a plan,
be perused without exciting interest throughout its
details in the breast of every one less insanely pre-
judiced than the Gallant Representative of Lincoln.
Perseveringly and confidently we find him working
out his absorbing object from the first sketch made on
a sheet of blotting paper, and which indicated the
principal features of the building as it now stands as
much as the most finished subsequent drawings, to
the realization of the marvellous conception. We may
direct attention en passant to the refutation of an
opinion which we shared in common with the rest of
the world, that the circular roof of the transept was
designed by Mr. BARRY, and not by Mr. PAXTON.
" Sui cuique honores." The architects of the two
great palaces have each sufficient laurels of their own.
Nothing, however, could exceed the handsome and,
ungrudging manner in which Mr. PAXTON spoke of
all his coadjutors, awarding his cordial meed of
applause especially to the ability, energy, and
transcendent skill of Messrs. Fox and HENDERSON,
and the admirable judgment displayed by Mr. OWEN
JONES in his selection of colours for the interior
of the building. In referring to a notion
on the part of some that the plan
of the structure was merely "a fortunate idea," the
speaker happily observed—and we would direct atten-
tion to the concluding sentences of the paragraph as
a graceful specimen of sincere and unfulsome grati-
tude :—" The idea, though fortunate, was not a for-
tuitous one. It was the result of long study and long
labour, without which no really practical idea can be
worked out into a distinct and palpable design. The
great experience I had in the erection of glass struc-
tures, and the invariable success which had attended
my exertions, emboldened me to produce that design,
because I had not a doubt of its practicability if pro-
perly carried out. I had two objects in view in offer-
ing a design—the first was, that my proposal would
he exactly suitable for the exhibition; and next, it
would meet a long cherished idea of mine for a na-
tional winter garden. I have stated to you that the
Victoria Regia was the immediate cause of my send-
ing in a design for the Crystal Palace ; but the Crys-
tal Palace does not derive its origin from the exist-
ence of that noble plant. No ! It owes its erection to a
nubler work of nature—the Noble Duke whom I have
had the honour and pleasure to serve for more than a
quarter of a century. It is to his fostering hand I owe
all I possess ; he took me when quite a youth and
moulded me according to his wants and wishes ; he has
given me all the advantages of extended travel with
himself, which could not fail to produce fruit in due
season ; by his confidence and liberality I have had
placed before me ample means for various experi-
ments, and without which, depend upon it, there
never would have been a Crystal Palace; and if there
is one thing more than another that would en-
hance the pleasures of this day, it is that his Grace
has done mo the honour to be present to see the flat-
tering tribute you have paid me." It is because we
believe Mr. PAXTON to have attained his celebrity
not by luck, or fitful genius, but by thoughtfulness,
observation, and assiduity, because we believe him to
deserve it, alike from the possession and combination of
those qualifications, and from an unselfish, un-
presumptuous, and kindly disposition, that we rejoice
in the public appreciation of his deserts, evidenced
in such manifestations as that which has reflected
credit on the citizens of Derby. Being personally
unacquainted with him, we can the more unreserv-
edly say, that, judging both from his performances
and his words, he may justly be pronounced de-
serving i❑ the extreme of the popular admiration and
respect which gather thick around his name.

FEESCH PLAYS, ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Her
Majesty the Queen has graciously intimated her intention of
visiting the French Plays this evening, on which occasion
Monsieur Bouffe will ap 'ear in his celebrated character of
Grandet, in the popular play of " La Fille de Pdvare ;" and
Monsieur Lafont in Alfred de Musset's comedic', " 11 feat
gu'une Porte soit Ouverte on Fernife."
THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.—Another of the
meetings, making up the grand " Teetotal Demonstration
for all Nations in 1.51," was held yesterday evening in St.
Martin's-hall, Long-acre ; Mr. Livesey, of Preston, in the
chair. At six o'clock, the hour announced as that at which
the proceedings should commence, the attendance was ex-
ceedingly thin ; but this circumstance the chairman ex-
plained, by a statement that some of the placards had, by
an unfortunate mistake, given the time of assembling as
seven. Various temperance melodies were sung to fill up
the interval, and Mr. Livesey, who was loudly cheered, de-
tailed to the audience the progress of the temperance move-
ment, especially in Preston, whence he came. Subsequently
the hall became densely crowded, remaining so till nearly
eleven o'clock, by which time many more songs had been
sung and many more speeches delivered, much to the satis-
faction of the numerous audience brought together by the
occasion. A letter from the proprietor of the Surrey Zoolo-
gical Gardens, where the teetotallers in very large numbers
(25,(I00 in all) gathered recently, informed the secretary of
the extreme orderliness and propriety of behaviour there
maintained; and the reading of this epistle to the meeting,
complimentary as it was to the body to which the majority
belonged, called forth most vehement applause.

THE CONDEMNED CONVICT AT Nonyncir.--The
execution of the condemned convict, Henry Groom, who was
tried and found guilty at the last Norfolk assizes for an ag-
gravated case of murder, is fixed to take place on Saturday,
the 9th instant, at twelve o'clock, in front of Norwich
Castle. Since his condemnation, the miserable culprit
seems to be perfectly alive to the fearful nature of his po-
sition, and has made in general terms a full confession of his
guilt to the gaol chaplain. He is most attentive to the reli-
gious consolation offered to him, and admits the perfect jus-
tice of his sentence.

THE PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.—Yesterday
a rep,_rt of the Select Committee of the House of Commons
appointed to nettle the order in which the Members shall
accompany the Speaker in the opening or proroguing Par-
liament was printed. Every Member desirous of attending
the Speaker is to communicate his intention in writing to

of Members.

ELECTION OF A REPRESENTATIVE PEER FOR
SCOTLAND.—Lord Colville, of Culross, was elected at Holy-
rood, on Wednesday, a representative peer for Scotland, in
room of the late Viscount stratlaallon,

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The fetes still continue, and the sham fight in the
Champ de Mars, which was exceedingly brilliant, was
preceded by a grand (Mjeuner for seventy persons,:given
at the Hotel de Ville.

- - -----
The Gazette de France has the following :
" A meeting of the members of the Right of the As-
sembly was held this morning at the house of M.
Berryer. The object of the meeting was to come to
an understanding as to the conduct to be observed
during the prorogation. It was decided that in
the Councils-General the total and legal revision
of the Constitution shall be advocated. As to a candi.
dateship for the Presidency, it was demonstrated by M.
BERRYER and .11. DE FALLOUX that there would be
groat disadvantage in deliberating prematurely on this
subject. It was resolved, therefore, to remain on the
reserve.

The publisher of the Siecle and M. JOURDAN, one of
the editors, were yesterday found guilty of a libel on
the PRESIDENT of the Republic ; and the former was
sentenced to three months' imprisonment and a fine of
2 500 E., while the latter was sentenced to two months'
imprisonment and a fine of 500 f.

and cries of " Vive Napol6ln !" were again raised ;
there were some cries of " Vive is Republique !" but
the general one was " Vive Napoleon !" The spec-
tacle on the whole was a most magnificent one, and
must have delighted all who witnessed it. Among
the spectators in the tribune was the Chinese Com-
mandant, who appeared to take great interest in the
scene. Considering the immense number of people
assembled, the greatest order prevailed. The whole
passed off, as far as the writer could learn, without
any serious accident ; five or six of the cavalry were
dismounted, but all, with the exception of one, who:was
led off the ground, were able to remount. The horse
of one of the generals in the suite of the President
reared, and threw his rider, but without doing him
any injury.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
Two communications have been forwarded from the
office of the Committee of the Privy Council of Trade
to the Secretary at Lloyd's (Captain Halsted, R.N.) the
first to the 4- ffeet that the Spanish Minister for Foreign
Affairs at Madrid had declared that all captains and
masters of foreign vessels which may hereafter enter the
lazarettos ot Mahon and Vigo to perform quarantine
will be obliged to present the manifesto of such goods or
articles on which sanitary duties are levied, in the Spa-
nish language, of their respective pardon. On adopting
this measure it has been borne in mind that, as the
masters of vessels are bound to exhibit another more
detailed manifesto, drawn up in Spanish, to the Admi-
❑istration of the Custom-house, it will be no great trou-
ble to them to make a more reduced copy of the latter,
thereby affording greater facility to the officer of the
Board of Health for the exact calculation ot the duties
which are to be levied.

The Consulate from Teneriffe, dated Juno 14, notify-
ing that the Provincial Board of Health at Teneriffe
have decided that all arrivals from Bahia, Pernambuco,
Rio Janeiro, and other ports of Brazil, shall not be
admitted to pratique in the islands until they have per-
formed quarantine either at Vigo or Port Mahon, in
consequence of the reported existence of yellow fever on
the Brazil coast, this measure has been adopted here in
accordance with a similar decision made by the Cadiz
Board of Health under date of the 20th ult.

This decision will affect the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company's vessels on their return from the Brazils, but
the civil governor of this island has assured me that
every facility shall be given for the embarkation of tte
correspondence, passengers, merchandise, or provisions,
and for coaling in case of need.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export, and 500 Surat, and 1,000 American on
speculation. The sales comprised 8,000 American,
700 Pernam and IYEaranham at 50 to 64d , 200 Bahia
at Sid. to 6id., 250 Egyptian at sid. to 7d,, and 800
Surat at 310. to 3td. per lb. The market closed firmly,
and American and Surat were d. higher for ord to low
mid, and other kinds were a shade against the buyer,—
The market for Railway Shares was firmer at higher
quotations.

In the Produce markets this week a good business has
been done, and generally at full prices.

The %Vest India mail is still dtie.

MARKET ISEIVS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

A fair average supply of English Wheat has arrived
up to our market, this week, costwise, viz., 2,370 quar-
ters, chit fly from Essex and Kent. Fresh up to-day
the receipts were small, yet they were fully equal to
the demand, which ruled heavy, at barely Monday's de-
cline in the quotations, and a total clearance was not
effected. There were a few rubbed-out samples of new
English Wheat, Barley, and Oats on show in good con-
dition. A few transactions took place for future deli-
very. Upwards of 18,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat
have come to band. Selected samples were very dull,
yet the importers refused to accept lower terms. The
value of low and middling kinds was almost nominal
Foreign Barley was in large supply. All kinds moved
off slowly, and previous rates were with difficulty sup-
ported. We had a ♦ery inactive itiquiry for Malt at
about stationary prices. Very few home-grown Oats
were brought forward, but the supply of foreign exceeded
51,000 quarters. Heavy qualities sold at late rates, but
other kinds were 6d per quarter cheaper. Beans,
Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour commanded very little at-
tention.

Notwithstanding that our market to-day was season
ably well supplied with Beasts, both as to number and
quality, the demand for that description of stock was
steady, and, in some instances, the primest Scots pro-
duced a trifle more money. Sheep—the supply of which
was tolerably good—moved off slowly, yet previous
rates were well supported. We had only a moderate
inquiry for Lambs, at Monday's currency. Prime small
Calves were quite as dear; but other kinds of Veal
commanded very little attention. The Pork trade ruled
heavy, but we have no decline to notice in prices. Milch
Cows were dull, at from 141 to 1815 s each, including
their small Calf.

SuGAa.—A fair business has been transacted in Bri-
-sh Plantation at about last week's quotations, but the
general condition of the market has not been lively.
Barbadoes by auction sold at 39s to 40s 6d for fine
yellow, and 35s 6d to 363 6cl for low to good. Deme-
rara good brown went at 32s 6d, and Trinidad good mid
yellow at 36s to 36s 6d. St. Kitt 's mid yellow brought
355. Refined was at 46s to 494 for low to fine grocery
lumps.
EAST INDlA.—Mauritius has been steady by private

of the article from first hands. Lemons of sound qua-
lity are improving in value. Some small parcels of
Green Grapes have been received by the Lisbon steamer,
being the first arrival of the season. Nuts of all kinds
without inquiry-.
Tobacco.—With the exception of the sale of about
200 hhds of Western strips, and a parcel of Virginia leaf,
business during the last month was quite of a retail cha-
racter, and sales do not possess sufficient interest to de-
serve ennumeratin,T. The market may be considered
easier, with a manifest desire on the part of importers
and holders to make concessions to buyers. It is no
longer a speculative opinion that the prices of strips at
is Id to is 2rl per lb have been chiefly instrumental in
introcucing very much into consumption various growths
of Tobacco, and that the large quantites of Turkey,
Maryland, Dutch, Brazil, German, &e., taken for cutting
purposes, have entirely disproved the estimated amount
of strips which was stated would be required
up to October 1851. Two or three manufacturers have
reduced thsir prices since the Ist ult., and issued cir-
culars at 3A sd. Some inquiries were made for
expor-
tation, but up to the present time have not terminated
in sash's to any extent. Lstest accounts from Virginia
and Maryland confirm our previous intelligence rela-
tive to the growing crop. Prices in Richmond and
Baltimore are quoted higher at New Orleans, especially
for ordinary soar, at a further decline, but with au un-
improved business doing. Imports, 38 hhds. Dcliverios,
