who was to- be attended there by a great many
English yachts, seemed to excite considerable
interest in Paris.

The following are extracts from Spanish and
German Papers received this day. Don MI-
GUEL'S Proclamation, if it have no other merit,
has at least that of superlative cant :
The Madrid Gazette of the 10th of August contains the fol-
lowing proclamation of Don Miguel, dated Villa de Conde,
July 30. This proclamation proves that he is resolved to
continue the war, notwithstanding the taking of Lisbon. It
is in the following terms :
" Portuguese people and soldiers
" When I left the capital of the Portuguese Monarchy in
the month of October last year, I desired to share the sa-
crifices that you have made for the just cause which you de-
fend. I knew that your valour was sufficient to vanquish the
rebellion confined within the wails of Oporto. Nevertheless,
desiring to avoid the effusion of blood, I employed my na.
tional clemency, offering at different times a pardon, to which
my Royal mind always inclined, and this to see whether I
could obtain of these rebellious children repentance for their
faults, for I had good reason to believe that many men, who
had been compelled to follow the paths of dishonour and
iniquity, would hasten to profit by this inclination of my heart.
June has passed away without realising the consolatory hope
which I had conceived of receiving into my ranks those un-
grateful children, who, instead of repenting, have had the au.
dacity to invade the peaceable and faithful people of Algarve,
among whom they have carried pillage and destruction.
" But their perverse designs have not stopped there. The
incessant efforts of their agents to promote sedition and versa.
tility have corrupted a great number of the officers and men of
my squadron which I sent to the coast of the Algarves. They
have made themselves masters of this squadron by the greatest
perfidy, and without displaying any valour. Reinforced by this
squadron, they succeeded in approaching the capital with all
their forces, the troops that were on the south of the Tagus,
not being able to prevent this movement, because they were
ill armed and ill directed, as the rebels themselves confess in
their Chronica. They have had recourse to the same means
in the capital. Thus some groups uttered seditious cries, which
were followed by many others, proceeding from men fond of
innovation and corruption. Notwithstanding all their efforts,
they could not shake the fidelity of the troops under the com-
mand of the Duke de Cadaval ; who, desiring to avoid
the shedding of the blood of brethren and friends would
not oppose his troops to the rebels, though they eagerly
desired it. Meantime the rebel troops advanced, and were
come on board the squadron to the mouth of the Tagus.
In these critical circumstances, prudence required to withdraw
all the troops in the capital, and march them to the neigh.
bouring positions, followed by a great number of persons in
office, nobles, and proprietors of all classes, who would not be
victims of oppression, or accomplices in the horrible crime
of those who follow a faction, the sole object of which is the
overthrow of the throne and the altar.
" Portuguese,—Religion calls on you; the country claims
you, and its cries are so powerful that they alone suffice to in_
spire you with valour and heroism. Fly all of you to arms ;
join me in this province, or the Duke-Marshal of the army,
or any other faithful General at the place where he may be.
Show to the world that a party of malcontents and rebels can
never stifle the sentiments of a whole nation, which loves, as
you have proved you do, its King and its institutions. lam
in the ranks of my brave and faithful army. I shall share
your dangers, and the glory which I shall acquire will be
wholly yours, As the common father of the Portu-
guese, I shall be happy to see you renew the actions
of valour, patriotism, and fidelity, which have immortalized
your ancestors ; and if their actions are celebrated in history,
and admired by all nations, you will acquire equal renown, by
combatting for your God, for your King, and for the institti.
tions which you have lately defended so gloriously, and which
constituted the happiness of your ancestors.
" Portuguese, valiant and intrepid nation,—Let us fly to
arms ; let us defend religion, and save the country. Let your
motto be To conquer or to die !'
" Palace at Leca do Baleo, July 29, 1833."
LISBON, AUG. s.—The Gazette of the 30th July publishes
two decrees, appointing Don Candido (Joseph Xavier) to be
Minister for Foreign Affairs, ad interim, and Don A. J. Freire,
already Minister of War, to be Minister of Marine, ad interim.
These appointments are in consequence of the departure of
the Marquis Louie.
A letter from the Duke of Braganza to the Marquis Pal-
mella, exonerates him from the post of Governor, which he
has hitherto held.
The formation of the National Guard proceeds rapidly, but
it meets with sn much resistance from the Portuguese, who
dislike this service extremely, that on the 3d of August a de-
cree was issued, prohibiting the emigration of persons from the
ages of 18 to that of 50. Lisbon was tranquil, but the great
number of arrests and of domiciliary visits which daily take
place. without any other foundation than the instigation of
informers, keep the minds of the inhabitants in a state of grea'
agitation.

A letter from Yelvas of the eth August says, " That the
troops of Molellos, thinking he was negotiating with the enemy,
cried, We are sold,' and that Molellos was obliged to fly to
save his life The troops then crossed the Tagus and joined
the Duke of Cadaval, cursing those who took part with Donna
Maria."

FRONTIERS OF POLAND, AUG. 4.—We hear of a new plan
drawn up by the Russian General Hoff, which is now before
the Emperor, and the object of which is said to be the re-esta.
blishment of the Polish army. According to this plan the
kingdom of Poland would have an army composed of Po-
lish and Russian troops, the amount of which should
not be above ,000 or under 16,000 men. It is af-
firmed that according to the plan there is to be an equal
number of Russians and Polish regiments in each brigade and
division, which may be commanded either by Poles or Russians,
but the generals of divisions and the generals-in.chief must be
Russians. I cannot warrant the correctness of these state.
ments, but it is certainly in contemplation to form new Polish
regiments. It becomes more and more necessary to find em.
ployment to the many idle individuals who have no means of
gaining a livelihood, who are everywhere met with since the
unhappy revolution, and contribute so much to keep up discon-
tent and agitation. If these are in some measure provided for
and well-treated, they take part with the Government as
readily as they now oppose it. This was seen at the commence-

ment of the revolution in Warsaw, where the troops remained
faithful to the Grand Duke Constantine, and did not leave him
till after many attempts of their officers and the conspirators.
There is still some talk of the Emperor's coming to War-
saw, but the plan seems to be, in fact, given up, and is not
likely to be taken up again, unless the Emperor, after the in-
tended interview with the King of Prussia, should have time
enough to spare, so that he may be at St. Petersburgh again
in the beginning of September.

MuNicit, Auo. 9.—The resolutions of the Senates of Fo-
reign Universities, concerning the students whom they have
expelled, continue without intermission to be successively
posted on the black board of this University. The latest re.
late to six students of Gottingen, and three of Wurzburg,
who are for ever expelled from those Universities, for joining
in prohibited societies (vetilum sodalitium.)
A medical student is expelled from the latter University for
five years, for having killed his adversary in a duel.
Of the students imprisoned here for political offences,
Charles Kolless of Heiligenstadt, a Prussian, 21 years of age
died of an inflammation of the brain. Of the others, many
are said to be ill, some to be attacked with insanity. The
illness of these and some others, more or less indisposed, does
not arise from the place (as might be erroneously believed), as
it is, on the contrary, very healthy, but they are the effect of such
an unusual situation of the mind and body, and the anxious ex-
pectation of an investigation which will at all events be long.
As the examinations show that there are numerous accom-
plices, arrests and domiciliary visits among the students con-
tinue. Except the two sons of a person in office here, all the
students hitherto arrested are such as are in the first year of
their studies in this University, and came hither from foreign
academies.—Nuremburg Correspondent, Aug. 12.

As there is no part of the United Kingdom
where, in spite of Mr. CoBBETT's " Cottage
Economy," tea is not more or less drunk, we
may presume that there are few who will not be
obliged to us for bringing under their notice a
Bill now passing through Parliament which will
affect the arrangements of every tea-table in the
country. It is entitled, " A Bill to provide
for the Collection and Management of the
Duties on Tea." The two first clauses simply
provide that tea shall be imported only from
places eastward of the Cape of Good Hope, to
the straits of Magellan into the United King-
dom, Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, and
the British possessions of America. The third
clause is the one of interest to our readers, and
we shall copy the greater part of it for their be-
nefit :—And be it further enacted, that from
and after the 22d day of April, 1834, the duties
of excise payable upon tea in the United King-
dom, shall cease and determine, except as here
after provided ; and that, in lieu of such duties,
there shall be paid the several duties of customs as
the sane are set forth in the table following :
TEA :—viz. s. d.
Bohea ........................................ ...(per lb.) 1 6
Congou, Twankay, Hysonskin, and Orange
Pekoe .........................................(per lb.) 2 6

Souchong, Flowery Pekoe, Hyson, Young Hyson,
Gunpowder,
Imperial, and other sorts not enu-
merated (per lb.) 3 0

It will be seen by the wording of the above
clause that the management of the im-
portation of tea is to be brought under

the Customs De.partment,,but it is Afterwards
provided that the power of internal interference
on the part of the Excise shall remain in full
force. The duties of Excise at present levied
upon tea, are, if the tea be sold by the East
India Company, under 2s. per lb., 96 per cent.,
if above 2s. per lb., 100 per cent. This only
makes a difference of about three halfpence be-
tween the highest and lowest priced teas ; be-
tween those used in the palace and those in the
cottage. This injustice is removed by the
scale given above. It is certainly not that
which we should have preferred, but the
change is so great an improvement that it

would be ungrateful to his Majesty's Go-
vernment to endeavour to raise an embarrass-
ing opposition to their proposal. We would,
however, beg to suggest, in a spirit of friendli-
ness, that the proportion of duty between the
middling and highest priced teas is hardly as fair
as it might be. The great mass of the middling
classes who will drink the two-and-sixpenny
duty tea are much more nearly related, in point
of property, to the lower classes than to the
higher. Would it not be better, then, to strike
the sixpence off the Congou, Twankay, &c.?
The rich, however, need not fear that the
price of tea will be increased, beyond what it is
at present, by the additional duty. We incline
to think that the price of the best teas will fall
below what they now are, even when the in-
creased duty is levied upon them, for the mo-
nopoly of the Company, in spite of all the
sophisms put forward in its favour, there cannot
be a doubt did raise the price of tea, pa►ticu-
larly of the finer sorts. For the same reasons,
the poor must not imagine that the tea
they purchase will only fall 42d per lb., for the
monopoly has to some extent affected them also.
We may, perhaps, look forward, too, for what
will be better to them than even a great fall of
price, viz., the having a genuine article, instead
of the villanous trash now gathered in the neigh-
bourhood of London.

By the other provisions of the Bill, tea im-
ported in a mixed state is liable to the highest
duty, and teas of different qualities, not per-
fectly mixed, but in the same package, are to be
forfeited. This provision will probably some-
times bear hardly upon individuals, but some-
thing of the kind is no doubt necessary to
protect the revenue against frauds. 'We would
suggest, however, that forfeiture should not take
place for the non-mixture of different " sorts" of
tea, because different sorts may be subject to
the same duty. In such a case there could be
no intention to defraud the revenue. Perhaps
changing the word "sorts" to " classes named
in this Act," would answer the purpose. By
the eighth and last clause, the Treasury is em-
powered to discontinue the system of permits,
and substitute such other regulations as the
safety of the revenue may require.

Many of the more important Bills before Par-
liament now nightly pass their last stages. The
East India Company's Charter Bill, having
passed the Lords yesterday evening, only waits
the Royal assent to become the law of the land.
We cannot help taking this opportunity of of-
fering our tribute of thanks to the India Board for
the manner in which it has disposed of this great
question. The Bill brought in under the auspices
of Mr. C. GRANT is, without doubt, the
most satisfactory of all the important measures
discussed this session. Upon how different a
principle from the Bank Charter Bill does it

not proceed ? It was lucky that Mr. GRANT
had not the same fancy, upon the subject of
the supply of tea, that Lord ALTHORF has
upon that of promissory notes; and yet the Com-
pany had much better arguments to advance in
support of its monopoly, than the Bank has in
defence of theirs. The Bill extending their
power over the circulation was read a third time,
and passed last night. The Ministerial trained
bands were at their post, and bore down the
poor remnant of independent Members, whom
the grouse shooters, pledged to oppose all mo-
nopolies, have left to do their duty.

Sir JOHN KEY'S little affair promises to be
productive of some advantage to the public, for
we perceive by a Parliamentary paper laid upon
our table this morning, that on the 16th instant
a Treasury minute was made requiring all the
public departments to transmit a statement of
their rules and regulations, if any, for ascertain-
ing the efficiency anti fitness of persons no-
minated to fill Government appointments in
order that the Board, in communication with
the respective departments, may lay down
regulations to insure the possession of
the requisite qualifications in the officers em-
ployed. It appears that, in April, 1831, the
Lords of the Treasury did frame regulations for
their own department, which have answered
their purpose, but in some other departments,
the minute states, that nd regulations have been
made, to secure the exclusion of persons not
suitable for the steady and efficient discharge of
their duties ! We have often had complaints of
the public offices, but the wonder is that they
have not been more numerous.. Regulations,
excluding unsuitable persons, would no doubt
have proved rather inconvenient, during the Tory
regime.

ERIALPA .IAM NT
THIS DAY, TUESDAY, AuG. 20.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The House met at a quarter past twelve o'clock.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL brought up the resolution of
the Committee upon Chancery Officers' Compensation, which
went through the several stages, and was ordered to be an in-
struction to the Committee on the Bill.

TRIAL OF OFFENCES (IRELAND).
Lord ALTHORP moved the order of the day for the fur.
ther consideration of the report on the Trial of Offences (Ire-
land) Bill.

The order of the day having been read,
Mr. LITTLETON moved that the amendments be read a
second time.

Mr. O'REILLY had hoped that Government would not
impose on the people of Ireland such a harsh and arbitrary
Bill, and he submitted whether it would not be more satis-
factory to the country if the Jury Bill were first passed, in
order that it might be seen whether all the objects proposed to
be attained would not be effected by that Bill. He hoped
Government would be induced to defer the present Bill, but if
they would not consent to that, he would endeavour to con-
vince the House that the Bill was wholly unnecessary.
If the object of the Jury Bill were to cause impartial justice to
be administered to the people of Ireland, it was wholly unne.
cessary to bring forward this measure. The object of the
present Bill was to give the power to the prosecutor in all cases
in which it was apprehended that impartial justice could not
be obtained, to remove the trial to the neighbouring county,
or to Dublin, upon application to the Judges. Now if the Bill
were to operate fairly, the same privilege ought to be extended
to the prisoner.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL--So it is.
Mr. O'REILLY said if that were so he would still show
that the Bill was unnecessary. They had already seen the effects
of partial legislation in Ireland. Now a prisoner could not
make an application to remove the trial until after the indict-
ment was found, because otherwise he could not know whether
he would be tried or not, and then, as the assizes would be
sitting, he would be hurried to his trial without having an
opportunity to apply in the regular way for a removal of his
trial ; whereas, the prosecutor could at all times be prepared
to apply for a removal of the cause. Again, the Bill gave the
prisoner no advantage that he did not previously possess, but
t trifling grounds obtain a removal.
was given to the Clown prosecutor, who
interposed by saying that on a former day

when it was discussed, the Hon. and Learned Solicitor-General
Proved that upon this point no apprehension need be en.
tertained.
Mr. O'REILLY then contended that no case had been made
out sufficiently strong to convince him that there was such a
defect in the existing law as to justify the present measure.
It might be said, that in some parts of the North of Ireland
there was a reasonable suspicion that juries had not done their
duty ; but that only showed, not that the law was bad, but
that there was a neglect of duty on the part of juries. This
new measure would not restore the confidence of the people,
or give greater security that justice would be more impartially
administered, and therefore he should give it his decided op.
position.

The SOLICITOR.GENER AL ssid he hoped that the Jury
Bill, to which the Hon. Member referred, and the present
Bill would go hand in hand together; they were in perfect
harmony, and he hoped they would pass—and pass for the be-
nefit of Ireland. He had nothing nearer to his heart than
that justice should be administered satisfactorily. The present
Bill was perfectly in accordance with the spirit of the Consti-
tution, and so far from being opposed to it, was in support of
the trial by jury, by giving impartial and satisfactory trials.
By the common law of England, the Court of King's Bench
possessed almost all the powers which were given by this Bill ;
but the powers given by this Bill were more safe and more for
the benefit of the accused than any given by the common law.
The Court of King's Bench, upon being informed that a fair
trial could not be had, might change the place of trial either
for felony or misdemeanor, and upon the application of the
prosecutor or of the prisoner. He knew an instance in
which his Right Honourable Friend near him (Mr.
Littleton) prosecuted a person for a misdemeanor,
in the county of Stafford, in which case he (the Solicitor_
General) was counsel; the defendant applied to the King's
Bench to remove the trial to Gloucester, on the ground of
his Right Hon. Friend's extensive influence in Staffordshire,
and it was tried in Gloucester, and the defendant was acquit.
ted. He could also instance the case of the King v. Thomas,
for murder, which, on application, was removed from
Rochester to Maidstone. There was also the recent
case of the King v. Hodson, which, at the defen.
dant's request was removed from one Court to another.
The Bill introduced no new or dangerous power It took from
the parties the difficulty of removing the trial to another
county, which now existed, by enabling any two Judges to al,
point a trial in a county wherein justice might be done, with
the great advantage of obviating the necessity for that bargain-
ing and huckstering which were now practised, before any ap-
plication to the Court of King's Bench could be carried into
effect. And not only would there thus be a great saving of
expense, but the case might be moved directly. There
would be a difference in the operation of the law as
contrasted with England, when, according to the strict
letter, the veiny:: could only be changed to the adjoining
county. By this Bill, however, a case might be taken
from one of the most remote counties, and tried in the county
of Dublin, In Scotland this course had already been
adopted, as it was customary in that country to remove the
venue from any county, however distant, to the High Court
of Judicature in Edinburgh, and no complaint of the system
had been made. That great partiality in striking a Jury had
been practised in Ireland no man could doubt, and it was
one of the provisions of the Bill, so as to avoid all possibility
of partiality. Under these circumstances, he should give the
Bill his entire support, and declare his conviction in full that
it accorded strictly with the spirit of the constitution and the
statutary law.
Mr. O'DWYER said he should lament to see the Bill al-
lowed to pass into a law, because he believed it to be unne-
cessary. He objected to it upon principle, and from a con-
viction that it would have no good effect; but although he
objected to it himself, he would not divide the House,
as he thought it would be scarcely fair to do so after the feel-
ing which the House had evinced at the first reading.—(Hear.)
Mr. LITTLETON expressed his opinion that the courtesy
exercised by the Hon. Member was made without a sacrifice
of feeling. The Hon. Gentleman, however, entertained an
erroneous opinion with respect to the feeling of the people of
England towards those of Ireland, as evidenced by the Acts
of that House. He (Mr. Littleton) was convinced that if
such scenes as had unfortunately disgraced and disturbed that
unhappy country had taken place in any county or counties in
England, the Legislature would not have been less
prompt, nor the people less willing to have such
counties placed under coercive laws. And nothing,
he was convinced, could be snore necessary than a change in
the system of empannellinp juries, from what was so well
known on the subject as regarded striking for juries, both in
the south and the north of Ireland.
Mr. E. RUTHVEN said that he was no party to any ar.
rangement, but he could not permit a Bill of such importance
to be discussed with so few Members present. He would
therefore move that the House be counted.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but there being exactly
forty Members present the House was immediately re-opened.
Mr. AGLIONBY thought the measure a most necessary
and beneficial one, and one that would not only work well in
Ireland, but in any part of England. There were, however,
several parts that required alteration.
Lord ALTHORP could not see how any reasonable objec-
tion could be raised to the Bill, as it secured the trial by jury
in a manner more secure than any Jury Act that could be
-passed. It also secured that country against the repetition of
those offences which had been so lately prevalent in Ireland.
On that ground he supported the Bill, being perfectly sure
there was nothing in it unconstitutional, and that it was most
beneficial for Ireland,

Mr. LYNCH could not agree with the Noble Lord that
this was a beneficial law for Ireland. He saw the same spirit
pervading it that suggested the coercive measure. If there
was any necessity for the measure it ought to have been
carried long since; but he would ask, had there been
any defect in the administration of justice either at the Spring
or Summer Assizes in Ireland ? In his opinion this was a
violent alteration of the law, and would take away one of the
greatest safe-guards, the trial by jury. There was no precedent
for such a measure, except that which had occurred in 1173.
He hoped if the measure was passed it would not be made

universal, as he was of opinion it ought to be applied only
to those counties that required it.

Mr. SHA W thought the Bill a most salutary measure, and
he should therefore give it his support. He, howeve?,
agreed with the Hon. and Learned Member who spoke last,
that it ought to have been brought forward at an earlier
period of the session. He quite agreed in the necessity of this
Bill, from the excitement which was prevailing in different
parts of Ireland.
Mr. O'REILLY should move that the amendments should
be read this day six months.

The House then divided, when there appeared
For Mr. O'Reilly's motion
Against it
Majority 35
On our re-admission into the gallery, we found
Mr. SHAW objecting to an amendment proposed by the
Solicitor-General, as to the insertion of the words " County
of Dublin."

Mr. O'REILLY objected to the county of Dublin being
left in, while the city of the county was excluded.

Lord A LTHORP said the Bill would be altered by omitting
the county as well as the county of the city of Dublin. In

cases of illegal party processions the removal of the venue was

necessary, in order to obtain a fair trial. With regard to a
packed jury, he thought the only object they ought to have in
view was to make the jury as impartial as possible, and, at the
same time, to give the opportunity where party feeliwg ran too
high to remove the venue.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, that where the trial
was not to take place in the county where the offence was corn.
mitted, it was always more convenient t o have it ill the metro-
polis than in the adjoining county.
The SPEAKER then put the amendment, which was
agreed to.

A desultory and uninteresting conversation then arose as to
a discretion to be vested in the Lord Lieutenant as to the al-
lowance to be made in exrnses for the witnesses of the pri-
soners who should attend their trial ; and an amendment was
moved to do away with this power under the Bill, but was
afterwards withdrawn. The Bill with amendments was ordered
to be engrr,sed, and read a third time to-morrow.

WAYS AND MEANS.
in the motion of Lord ALTHORP, the report of the Com-
mittee of Ways and Means was brought up and agreed to.
Mr. WOOD brought up the report of the Committee on the
Bank Notes (Stamp Duties) Composition Bill, which was agreed
to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to.morrow.
CHOLERA PREVENTIVE BILL.
The House then resolved into a Committee on the Cholera
Prevention Bill. Certain verbal amendments were proposed
and agreed to; the House resumed ; the report was received ;
and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time this day.
APPROPRIATION BILL.
Mr. S. RICE brought
up the Appropriation Bill, which was
read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-
morrow.

Mr. BLAIIIRE rose to propose the second reading of the
Tithes Stay of Suits Bill. It had been heretofore customary,
when plaintiffs proceeded for the recovery of tithes, a few
cases were selected, the decision upon which was considered
to be binding upon the whole; but it had unfortunately hap-
pened that, by the Act passed last year, commonly called Lord
Tenterden's Act, no plaintiff could recover for tithes due
unless the proceedings were commenced, as against every
individual party, within a certain period. In consequence of
this Act, in Kendal there had been 1,800 suits entered for tithes
and ten individuals were included in each suit; and in the
county of Northumberland as many as 150 persons were named
in each suit.
this system an immense expense was en-
tailed, and it was the bounden duty of the House to
take some steps to reduce that expenditure.—(Hear, hear.)
He should propose by this Bill to stay all proceedings since the
commencement of Lord Tenterden's Act to the end of next
session, and to provide that in all suits entered of 10 persons
each, only
two should be considered as necessary parties.
In the other case, the parish in Northumberland, he would
propose, that instead of proceeding with the 150 suits, only two
should be done so with.
The Bill was then read a second time. On the question
Ycotrunitted,
NCH said he would give it his support.
Ther SOLICITOR.GENERAL said, as a friend to the Church,
h
deplored
to hear that 1,500 suits had been instituted in
on
e parish alone. If they were allowed to be proceeded with
the tr it
' L
eael‘ be
consequences would be most lamentable; tithes would be-
come odious; and they could never again be collected without
bloodshed. He was firmly of opinion that tithes were as much
as any other, and ought to be protected. The setting aside of
a long-established rnodus was a most lamentable thing; for the
land in such a parish had been bought and sold over and over

again under it. The tithes, if impropriate, had also been
bought and sold ; the tithe-owner would get what he had not
bought, and the land-owner would be saddled with an unex-
pected burden.
Mr. BLA MIRE would be most happy if the Learned Soli.
citor.General would take the Bill into his own hands. In the
parish of Kendal, if the Rector established his claim, the
tithes would amount to 10,0001. a..ysar, which was a sum that
the parishioners neither could nor would pay.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL declined the task; but would
give it all the support, as an individual, in his power.
Sir E. KNATCHBULL earnestly wished that some general
measure should be speedily introduced to set the question of
tithes at rest. As to this Bill, he regretted the Hon.
Member (Mr. Blamire) had not brought it forward much
earlier, and that he had not sooner moved for the returns he
had moved for last night, respecting the number of suits com-
menced for the recovery of tithes. On the present occasion
the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite (the Solicitor_
General) as on some others had gone, as he thought, a little
farther than from his high station, he was justified in going.
That Honourable and Learned Gentleman had said, that in
Kendal parish alone, no less than 1,500 actions had commenced
for the recovery of tithes, where It appeared there were but
150 actions, although against 15,00 persons. Certainly, 150
actions were a great many ; but, let it be recollected,
that the clergy had no alternative than that of either
bringing the actions, or of abandoning their right to tithes. He
was not prepared to say that some Bill, similar to the present,
was not called for, but he thought it would be much better that
Government should take upon themselves the responsibility
of bringing in some general measure to regulate the system of
tithes, and that, in the mean time, all actions to be post-
poned, reserving to parties interested their present rights,
until the subject was set at rest by Parliament. That would
do more to quell the angry feelings, which the bringing of so
many actions had created.

Lord A LTHORPE admitted that the measure which had
been proposed by Ministers on this subject had been founded
upon a wrong principle, and was not calculated to settle the
question of tithes. He hoped before next session, by the
experience that would be obtained in the meantime they
would be enabled to decide upon some principle satisfactory
to all parties. At present, however, every facility would be
given by the Government to the measure his Noble Friend
had brought forward in order that it might be put in such a
state to work practically.

Mr. WARBURTON thought that actions brought against
one or two individuals should be put on the same footing as
where the action was brought against many, the only exception
being in the case adverted to by the Solicitor. General.
Mr. AGLIONBY thought the Bill would not meet the ob-
jects it had in vied. He would be glad to give the Solicitor_
General any assistance that was in his power. He was sure
something must be done to pacify the country, and that some-
thing should be done with the least possible injustice.
Mr. WILKES concurred in the observations that had bCen
made by the Gentlemen on his side of the House.
Mr. E. G. STANLEY regetted that the Solicitor-General
had not thought proper to take this measure into his own
hands.

Lord ALTHORP said it had occurred to him, that the
most convenient course would be to have an early sitting to-
morrow, that the House should sit till four, or half past four
in the afternoon, and not sit again in the evening.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be
committed to-morrow.

Mr. BERNAL brought up the report of the Buckingham
Palace Bill.

A Messenger from the East India House brought up a return
of all pensions granted to the officers in the Commercial Ma-
rine Service, which was ordered to be printed.
The SPEAKER, it being 3 o'clock, then left the Chair.

HINTS FOR CRUICKSHANK.

IMITATED FROM ANACREON.

Hither, Cruickshank, I've a job
Shall endear thee to the mob;
'Tis to paint, in brazen lustre—
Like a giant full of bluster

On some showman's caravan—
Erin's never blushing Dan.

Paint him, George, as is his wont,
With a power of brass in front,
Of the best Milesian kind,
And a famous tail behind :
Give him Jack Cade's bland address
And Wat Tyler's gentleness,
Throwing in a touch or so
Of Marat—Danton—Mirabeau.

Paint him perch'd upon a waggon
'Mid a crowd with scarce a rag on,
Roaring, till, with might and main,
He out-roars a hurricane:

Smiling now—now stern and moody,
Playing Punch to Erin's Judy;
Gulling her with words of guile,
Kissing—coaxing—cuffing, while
As he wags his head on high,
His tad wags, too, from sympathy.

Paint him begging from the many,
Here a two-pence, there a penny :
Finding, unlike Belisarius,
Charity not so precarious ;
Bel. scarce got six groats per ann.,
While, from full six millions, Dan
Can a penny squeeze per man,
And, what's more, keep snug the pelf,
Generous patriot! to himself.
Bravo, Dan! (as much like Cato
As a pea's like a potatoe)
Here exemplified we see
Thine and Erin's charity;
Erin's wandering forth abroad,
Strews with gold her patriot's road:
Thine disliking much to roam,
(Thrifty house-wife) stops at home.
Hold—enough, George—What a sketch!
'Tis Dan himself, or else his Fetch!

COURT CIRCULAR.

The Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, and his preceptor
the Rev. Mr. Jelf, Prince Alexander and Prince Charles of
Solms came to town yesterday from the residence of the Duke
and Duchess at Kew.

A deputation from the Directors of the British American
Land Company, consisting of G. R. Robinson, M.P., P. M.
Stewart, M.P., and Messrs. Gould, Mills, Shuter, Gillespie, and
Wilson, had an interview with the Colonial Secretary yesterday
in Downing-street.

Prince Talleyrand, Mr. Dedel, the Dutch Special Minster,
the Baron de Wessenburg, the /;.tistrian Special Minister, and
Mr. Vial, the Spanish Minister, visited Viscount Palmers-
ton yesterday at the Foreign-office.

The Earl of Ripon and Mr. Secretary Stanley visited Ear!
Grey yesterday.

VAUXHALL.--Mr. SIMPSON--the SlMP-
sort—took his benefit here last night. The gardens
were splendidly illuminated on the occasion. A figure of
the phenomenon, full forty-five feet high, was done by
Mr. SOUTHBY, and after being duly admired, and so
foith, went off in a glorious blaze of squibs and crickets.
To those who are conversant with the oratorical beauties
of CICERO and DEMOSTHENES, Mr. SIMPSON'S speech
must have afforded a rich intellectual treat. An attempt
was ma le to encore it, but the modesty of the great known
would not hear of such "an unprecedented occurrence
which never took place before in the Royal Gardens."
He declined the honour of a chairing for the same reason.
ADELPHI THEATRE.—A new hermaphro-
dite sort of production was exhibited to the public lest
night at this theatre, under the title of Nero, the
Roman-tick Fiddler, the author of which is, we believe,
Mr. HAYNES BAYLEY. The plot is taken from Roman
history, and includes in a few minutes the poisoning of
Claudius Ccesar by his wife Agrippina, and the burning
of Rome by her son Nero. Claudius is represented by
Mr. 0. SMITH ; Nero by JOHN REEVE ; and Agrippina
by Mrs. C. JONES, These are the principal characters.
The Empress, after some intriguing, succeeds in killing
her husband pith a dish of " mush-a-rooms," as she
calls them, into which her son had put some poison pro-
cured from Locusta, a ratkiller's daughter (Miss No.
vem.o), and afterwards is obliged by Nero to swallow a
portion of the same cookery, when she is sent to join her
spouse. The hopeful youth, after he ha: killed his
mamma, stabs his principal courtiers, orders the city to he
set on file, and while it is burning takes a violoncello and
commences fiddling, and at the sime moment the dead
folks jump up and join in a ludicrous dance. At the con-
clusion there was much disapprobation. Probably the
piece, with judicious alterations, may, for a few nights,
keep an audience in good humour.

Thursday evening a meeting was held at
Stlffor.l, convened by the Mayor, to petition Parliament
against disfranchising that borough.
Dr. J. TAYLOR says, "celibacy, like a fly in the
heart of an apple, dwells in perpetual sweetness."

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY EVENING.--One
of the most extraordinary instances of adventurous spirit
was exhibited this afternoon in the arrival of a small
schooner-rigged boat, belonging to his Majesty's ship
Etna, from Gibraltar. Her crew consists of four men,
under the command of Mr. MoNETrENNY, a mate of that
ship, from which she patted company on the 30th ult.,
considerably to the south-eastward of Cape St. Vincent.
This little vessel, of less than five tons burden, has made
her way across the dreaded Bay of Biscay, passed about
30 leacues to the westward of Ushant, and came into
harbour in most gallant style, about two o'clock, having
seen nothing of the ship to which rbe belonged, or re-
ceived the slightest assistance from any source in the course
of her passage. The Etna may be hourly expected.—
P. S. Since writing the above, his Majesty's ship Etna,
Commander BEt.ciura, has been reported in sight, coming
round St. Helen's.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY)

The House of Lords at today at 10 o'clock, to hear English
Appeals.

The Lords present were the LORD CRANCELLOR, Lord;
PIT NE ET and WYNFORD, and the Bishop of HEREFORD.
Their Lordships were occupied the whole morning with the
appeal of the King of Spain v. Hullett, the particulars of which
have been so often before the public, both in the House of
Lords and the Court of Chancery, as to render it totally unne.
cessary to state them again.
The ArroßarEv-Gt.NERAL and Sir C. WETHERELL appearckl
as Counsel for the appellants : and Sir EDWARD SUGDEN for
the respondents.

The ATTORNEY-OE:URAL had not concluded his address to
their Lordships when our reporter left.
