SALE OF ARSENIC BILL.

The Earl of CARLISLE postponed the further consi-
deration of this Bill for a week, in order to enable him
to consider several suggestions which had been made
to him for its improvement.
DESIGNS ACT EXTENSION BILL.

The Earl of GRANVILLE said that a Bill on this
subject had been introduced into the other House of
Parliament under the auspices of the Government. When
that Bill should come up, he would move to refer it to a
Select Committee, on which his Noble and Learned
Friend (Lord Brougham) might serve, and he hoped
that the Bill now before their Lordships on the same
sabjeot would be referred to a Select Committee, instead
of being proceeded with forthwith.
Lord BROUGHAM would consent to postpone the
measure of which he had given notice on the subject of
the patent law, and to have the whole subject referred
to a Select Committee. He believed that the adoption
of such: a course would be most advsable for the interest
of those inganicus persons who devoted tn. it attention to
chemical discoveries and mechanical inventions.
PASSENGERS ACT AMENDMENT BILL.

On du) motion of Earl GREY this Bill was read a
third time and passed.
REGISTRATION ASSURANCES BILL.

Lord CAMPBELL, in moving the second reading of
this Bill, said ithat he had been requested by her
Majesty's Government to take charge of the Bill
in this House, and as it was a measure
totally unconnected with politics he had consented to do
that.—(Hear, hear.) I❑ moving the second reading of
this Bill, he felt bound to pay a compliment to the
Common Law Commissioners, upon whose suggestions
this measure was founded. The Noble and Learned
Lord then proceeded to give the history of the laws of
conveyance and of mortgage, from the Saxon times up
to the present period.
(LEST SPEAKING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
ANCHOR ASSURANCE (No. 2) BILL.
This Bill was read a second time.
EAST STONEHOUSE WATERWORKS BILL.
This Bill was read a second time.
GENERAL REVERSIONARY AND INVEST-
MENT COMPANY BILL.
This Bill was also read a second time.
DIVORCE BILLS.

Macellan's and Ileathoote's Divorce Bills were read
a second time.
WARKWORTH HARBOUR DOCK BILL.
This Bill war; also read a second time.
BUCKINGHAM'S COMPENSATION BILL.
Mr. ELLIOT moved the postponement of this Bill
until Monday next.
Mr. BROTHERTON presented a petition,and begged
that the Bill night be postponed, or altogether dropped,
for Members had been continually brought down most
unnecessarily.
Mr. PLOWDEN said that under the circumstances
ha should move that this Bill be read this day six
months.
Mr. W. PATTEN explekned that the only reason for
postponing the Bill was tht illness of the Noble Lord by
whom it ought to be moved.
Mr. ROEBUCK wished to inquire of the Speaker
whether this was a private or a public Bill? It appeared
to him that the compensation contemplated by this Bill
was to be granted out of the funds contributed by the in-
habitants of this country. If so, it was evidently a
public Bill, and ought to be dealt with accordingly.
The SPEAKER said that the Bill had been brought
before the House some years ago, when one of his pre-
decessors, and as ho thought correctly, had decided that
it was a private Bill. With regard to the other portions
of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's inquiry, he might
say that as he understood the matter, the compensation
was to be given out of the funds in the hands of the
East India Company.
Mr. ROEBUCK then assented to the propriety of
treating it as s private 8.11.
Mr. WILSON PATTEN moved that the Bill be taken
into considers ion on the Monday after Easter.
Mr. CHRISIOPHER suggested that that would be
Easter Monday.
On the nigg,..!,ion of Sir R. INGLIS,
Mr. PLOW DEN then withdrew his amendment.
Ctu the motion of Mr. BROTHERTON, the Bill was
then ordered to he read a second time on Monday.
SMITHFIELD ENLARGEMENT BILL.
Sir JAMES DUKE moved that the Bill be postponed
till a future day.
Mr. CHRIS t °PEER was surprised to hear such an
anneuncement from the Hon. Baronet, and wished to
know what was the int“stion of the Government with
respect to this Bill in the event of the City persevering
with it.
Mr. CORNEWALL LE STIS said that it was deci-
dedly the intention of the Government to oppose the Bill.
Mr. OSBORNE said that he thought the Lion. Baronet
was pursuing a very injurious course to his supporters
by continually postponing this Bill. He stood there to
advocate the plan of the Corporaim, as the beet plan
that could be adopted, but his bands were now com-
pletely weakened.
Sir J. DUKE said that he was in the hands of the
City authorities, and must abide by their decision.
The Bill was then postponed.

REMOVAL OF WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.

Sir R. H. INGLIS wished to know what measures had
been taken by the Government to carry out the recom-
mendations of two Committees of the House with re-
spect to pulling down Westminster-bridge and selecting
a new site for the erection of a new bridge?
Lord SEYMOUR stated that at the close of the last
session a Committee was appointed to inquire into the
state of the present bridge, and to consider whether an-
other bridge ought not to be substituted for it, and whe-
ther the existing site was in all respects the most desir-
able. On the last subject the Government received such
conflicting evidence that they were satisfied they were
not in possession of sufficient information to enable them
to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion. It was, therefore,
determined that a Committee of Inquiry should be ap-
pointed to ascertain whether the present or any
site would be most convenient for a new
bridge, and in a few days he would be able to state
the names of that Committee.

Member for Inverness and that of his Friend
his leader and his protector on the eccgsinn.—( A laugh.)
He (Sir George Grey) was in the House when the Hon,
Gentleman gave his notice in a clear and deliberate
manner', and he heard him distinctly state that he should
so submit it to the House on the 25th instant.
(Hear, hear.) And now when his Noble Friend
at the head of the Government asks him whether he in-
tends to proceed with his motion on that day, the Hon.
Gentleman does not say that he is not pre-
pared to submit his charge to the House, but
he says he will not stand in the way of that im-
portant business which he holds to be the im-
perative duty of Ministers to bring before the
House.—(Hear, hear.) That was what the Honourable
Gentleman said himself, but what said his leader? Why
he let the real reason out; he said they were not pre-
pared under present circumstances to bring the question
forward.—(Hear, hear.) So then the Hon. Gentleman
circulated a serious charge throughout the country
against noblemen and the' Government, and now it
seemed it was not his intention to bring it for-
ward.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") Nay, he might
go the length of saying that he dared not bring it
on,—(Oh, oh, and cheers.) Now, as it was a judicial
question they were to consider, he hoped at least this
was not a specimen of the spirit in which the inquiry
would be opened and conducted.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. ROEBUCK, being much interested in the wel-
fare of the colonies, listened to this discussion with
some degree of pain.—(Hear, hear.) The Honourable
Gentleman the Member for Inverness had, from the
commencement of this transaction, expressed strong
opinions with regard to the conduct of Lord Torring-
ton, and with greet credit to himself he had carried
the matter before a Committee of the House, who
had taken two years to investigate it.—(Hear, hear.)
And aow the Hon. Gentleman brought a serious charge
against Lhrd Torrington, and had given a formal notice
of the day on which he proposed to go into it, but be-
cause the Noble Lord at the head of the Government
considered the notice a vote of censure on his Govern-
ment, which, if established, would destroy the confidence
of the House in the administration. The Honourable
Gentleman declined to press his motion for the pre-
sent.—(Cries of " Hear.") The conclusion which
he deduced from all this was that the Government was
weak, and because of that w,eakness the interest of the
country and the colonies was to be sacrificed, and a
serious charged allowed to hang over the head
of a Noble Lord recently presided over the
destinies of England.—(Hear, hear.) Now, was it fair
to delay this question?—was it fair to hold up Lord
Torrington to the scorn and indignation of the country
for an indefinite period under such a pretence as that
which had been signed in favour of the delay ?—(Hear,
hear.) The excuse put forth to justify this postpone-
ment was nothing less than a pretence—a sham—and
as it related to a distinct criminal charge, it would be dis-
graceful alike to the House and the Government if those
who preposed it, were not pressed to go on with it at once.
But of all the persons who were wrong none were more
so than the Honourable Member for Bucking-
hamshire—(Laughter)—who had shown he was
totally unacquainted with the whole matter, and
had brought forward some charge against the
Colonial-office wholly unconnected with the
matter in hand, and who fabricated—if he might use the
expression without dishonour—an accusation which the
Hon. Member for Inverness-shire never thought of.—
(Laughter.) It was quite clear that this course had
boen adopted for party purposes.—(Loud cheers.)
Let the people of this country understand that
all their great interests—colonies, finance, and other im-
portant matters of legislation—were all now in abeyance,
in consequence of the proceedings of some twenty gen-
tlemen.--(Hear, hear.) Of this he thought there
could be no doubt, that when a man was charged
openly with a crime by a Member of the House, who
said he had evidence in proof of his accusation, common
justice—(Cheers)—ordinary good feeling, plain honest
good faith, and fair play required that there
should be no shrinking from that charge.—
(Cheers.) He (Mr. Roebuck) knew little of the
circumstances, but whatever might be his opinion
as to the result of the charge if it came before a jury,
he thought the accuser was bound as an honest man, at.d
he demanded it in the name of his country—
(" Hear" from the Protectionists)—that the Honour-
able Member who represented himself as the
accuser of this man, should now make his charge, and,
if he could, endeavour to justify that charge.—(Cheers.)
And let no man treat this matter lightly.—(Hear, hoar.)
Let every one suppose, for a moment, that this was his
own case.—(Hear.) The Noble Lord was charged with
no lass a crime than murder—(Hear)—he was charged
with having committed that murder when he repre-
sented this country in Ceylon. If there were any great
crimes that was one.—(Hear.) He honoured a man for
bringing a great criminal to justice, but he could not
say he honoured that individual who made a grievous
accusation, and who afterwards, he might say skulked
from it.

Sir BENJAMIN HALL entirely concurred in all
that had fallen from the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman ;
and he would say, further, that he thought it utterly
impossible for the Noble Lord at the head of the Go-
vernment to pursue any other course than that which
he had adopted.—(Cheers.) It must be admitted by
every impartial person that the motion of his Hon.
Friend for Inverness-shire was nothing more nor less
than a vote of censure on the Government, and with that
hanging over his head how could the Noble Lord bring
forward the financial arrangements of the Government.
(Hear.) A governor of the colony and a peer of the
realm, as the Hon. and Learned Member had stated, was
charged with the crime of murder. He would ask why
the Hon. Member gave notice of such a motion, and then
allowed it to drop ? It would only be an act of fairness
and justice to bring the subject before the:House of L9rds
whore that Noble Lord, as well as the Noble Earl at the
head of the colonial department, might meet their ac-
cusers man to man and anewer the charge made against
them, and where they might be enabled to give a fair
and legitimate account of the course of conduct they had
pursued.
The matter then dropped.
ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL—ADJOURNED
DEBATE.

Mr. MOORE resumed the debate on the second
reading of this Bill. He said that the Right Ho-
nourable Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home
Home Department, in moving the second reading of
this Bill, bad professed that he would clear the ground
for the House to come to a proper understanding
on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) So far, however,
from clearing up any of the difficulties which
surrounded the Bill the Right Hon. Bart. had kicked up
such a dust that he had made the ground much darker
and more difficult. He thought, however, that it would
he conceded that the opponents of the Bill bad since that
time cleared the ground of a great deal—in the
first place they had cleared the ground of the Hon.
Baronet himself for the space of ten days, and since the
restoration of himself and his colleagues they had cleared
the ground of at least three-fourths of the Bill :
they had cleared it of anything which could ever
have imparted any shadow of consistency to it.
The Noble Lord at the head of the Government had
openly avowed that the opinions of his former life were
blunders and misconceptions, and that the present Bill
was founded on an entire change of his opinion. They
had also exposed to the public view the paltry strings
that pulled the puppet of intolerance and bigotry.
and shown how the same strings that pulled the puppet's
head up were ready to pull it down again. He did
not wish to refer to the erratic fights of indi-
viduals, but when he heard them accompanied
with the cheers of the House of Commons
he could scarcely forbear commenting upon
them. He referred to the speech of the Hon. Baronet
the Member for Tamworth, and as he had heard that the
Jacobins were the Gamaliels at whose feet the Hon.
Baronet delighted to sit, he hoped that from that source
the Hon. Member drew his matter as well as his manner.
The first question for the conNideration of the House
was-had there been an aggression on the part of the
Pope, and if there had, had it been one of a temporal
or religious character. He would at once admit that
an aggression had taken place, but at the same time
he assented that the adoption of such an aggression was
the right of all men when they were defending that re-
ligion which thep believed to be trae. When he looked
to the position of Ireland and this country, he could only
consider that in the adoption of the course that was
bang pursued the worst policy was being adopted.

"The engine was afterwards tried upon the Campsie
Junction line, where there is an incline o, 1 in 75 for
three miles, and a station upon it. She took up seven
carriages and a luggage van crowded with passengers, and
as she had to stop at the station upon the incline, Mr. Pa-
ton, the locomotive superintendent, who accompanied her,
ordered a large coupled engine to follow to assist her
away from the station, if necessary; but she went away
with the train at the rate of 30 miles an hour, and the
heavy engine could not catch her; for the result proved
that the heavy engine could not ascend the incline alone
at the rate of 30 miles an hour.

" When the engine got to the top of the incline,
where another branch line comes in and joins the main
line, she took on six more carriages, making in all 14,
:Ind took them into Glasgow in good style, surprising
every one who witnessed it.
" She is now running the express trains between
Edinburgh and Glasgow, consisting of five carriages,
with a consumption of only 6ilbs. of coke per mile.
During the heavy gales and bad weather which prevailed
in the early part of January, she was the only engine
upon the line that kept time.
" On the 7th of September Mr. England sent another
similar engine to the Liverpool and Southport line,
where she took a train of ten carriages up an incline
1 in 100, stopping and starting upon it, and where
there is also a sharp curve. She was delivered subject to
a guarantee that she was to run a train of seven car-
riages at the rate of 45 miles per hour, and ascend an in-
cline of 1 in 100 at 25 miles an hour, with a consump-
tion of coke not exceeding 10Ibs. per mile.

"Sho proved horself more than equal to the guarantee,
and the directors paid for her when she had been in
work a week, considering she was more than equal to
the contract.

" There is one at work upon the Dundee and Perth
line, which has been working there since June, 1849,
and the locomotive superintendent declares that she has
not cost them sixpence in the shape of repairs during
that time; that she is always ready, and runs the mail
train of four carriages between Dundee and Perth daily."

THE ESSEX MURDERERS.
CONFESSION OF DRORY.
(From the Chelmsford Chronicle.)

The most exciting interest continues to prevail re-
specting the two criminals now under the dread sentence
of death in the county prison, for whose execution on
Tuesday, the 25th inst., warrants have been already re-
ceived; and as to the guilt of one of them, Thomas
Drory, we are in a condition to remove any shadow of
doubt that might have lingered in the public mind, by
the statement that he has made a full and thorough ad-
mission of his guilt At the close of the trial, and as
soon as he had been sentenced and removed from the
bar, the firmness he bad shown throughout, now that
the hope which seems to have buoyed him up was gone,
forsook him, and his long pent up feelings found vent
in tears. On reaching the gaol his strength was so
prostrated that he was obliged to be led by two of the
officers to the cell, on reaching which, be flung himself
on his hammock, where ho lay sobbing and indulging in
a paroxysm of grief for nearly an hour. He was sub-
sequently visited by the chaplain and the governor,
and to them he made a virtual admission of his
guilt; becoming soon after more calm, he requested
that his hammock might be exchanged for an
iron bedstead as more adapted for him to re-
cline on in his unhappy state—a wish which was at once
complied with; but he continued restless and slept little
throughout the night. He has since become calm,
listens to the religious exhortations of the chaplain, the
Rev. J. Hamilton, and joins in his devotions apparently
with becoming feeling and a proper sense of the dreadful
position in which his frightful crime has placed him. To
the chaplain and the magisterial visitors of the gaol he
has made, as we have stated, a complete and thorough
admission of his guilt, and that his alone was the hand
that committed the murder, adding that he believed
throughout that because the deed was shrouded in dark-
ness, and its perpetration coacealed from every human
eye, it would be impossible for justice to reach him, and
that he had no thought of Providence, by a chain of cir-
stances, bringing the guilt so plainly home to him. This
is the substance of his full admission; but he has, we be-
lieve, made no formal and detailed confession, though it
is understood he has at times dropped statements tending
to blacken the character of his victim, as to her pro-
posing to him the commission of other crimes—an as-
sertion to which not much credit is attached—
and to the effect that he had meditated the
crime, and had carried the rope about with
him for the purpose some time before its commis-
sion ; that ho accomplished the murder by stepping
behind her as they were walking, and slipping the rope
over her neck; adding also that the mark on her hand
was not produced by his teeth but by his finger nails.
In the early part of the week it seems he had an inten-
tion of writing down his statement of the matter, but
this idea, it is believed, he has abandoned; and the ma-
gistrates, considering that his unqualified admission is
amply sufficient to satisfy justice and the public, and
that his fresh recital of the circumstances of the crime
could answer no moral or useful purpose, thought it
right that he should not be pressed for the minute de-
tails. On Wednesday his father, whose feelings had
been so dreadfully affected by the proceedings that he
was compelled to hurry from the town before the
close of the trial, visited him in his cell, and it is need-
less to say that the meeting and the parting of the grey-
haired father and the condemned son were of the most
painful nature, and calculated to call forth the deepest
commisseration for the afflicted parent, to whom
she prisoner unreservedly admitted his guilt. Since
he has been in prison the culprit seems to have ex-
hibited none of those traits of character that might
have been looked for in a criminal of his cast; ho is de-
scribed in the gaol records as being able to read and
write well, and it appears he went to school for four
years at Brentwood, but his acquirements in those
branches are only tolerable, and his education does not
extend beyond them.
It is a singular fact, to show the interest attached to
all connected with the matter, that at the close of
Drory's trial on Saturday night, some person in court
stole and carried off the rope with which the murder
was committed, and also the plan of the spot where the
tragedy took place.
Mrs. Chesham, the other culprit, continues to assert
her innocence, and to reiterate the statements and the
recriminations she made at the trial. She asserts it was
the doctor poisoned her husband, and distinctly admits
that she has taken off several persons by arsenic, but
declares she is not guilty of the murder of her husband.
There is little difference in her manner from what it was
before trial; and the impression which her conduct
leaves is that of an utter callousness of mind; though
there are, even in her, moments when the heart appears
to soften beneath the unwearied spiritual exertions of
the indefatigable chaplain.

queen of all English singers, came one night to Drury-lane
