TEN POUNDS REWARD.

Thl Sun newspaper (especially The Third and
Express Editions) is so frequently stolen in passing
through the Post-office, to the great annoyance of
our disappointed subscribers, that we hereby offer a
reward of Ten Pounds for the discovery of every
party so offending, and we promise to prosecute the
individuals to a conviction, regardless of expense.
The offonce is a felony.

The paper is more frequently stolen in times of
excitement than on ordinary occasions, which makes
the grievance the greater.

Another valuable day has been consumed in dis-
cussing whether leave shall be given to the First
Lord of the Treasury—the responsible head of her MA-
JESTY'S Government—to introduce a Bill for the pro •
tection of the Royal prerogative, and of the inde-
pendence of the British nation from foreign aggres-
sion and foreign usurpation. It might be thought
that the importance of the subject, and the high posi-
tion of its Parliamentary sponsor, would alike hay e
demanded that every possible facility should be
afforded for the calm and dispassionate consideration
of a topic possessing the deepest interest to
all classes of the community. The usual
courtesy of Parliament is to grant the
necessary permission in all CasES, except those of a
frivolous and trivial character, where it is desirable
to prevent the public time from being wasted by
entering into the details of measures utterly re-
pugnant to the feelings of the great majority, and which
there is almost a certainty of being ignominiously re-
jected during some of the future stages of its progress.
Accordingly the required permission for the intro-
duction of a Bill could not be supposed in any de-
gree to pledge the House itself, or individual Mem-
here, to the approval either of its principle or its de-
tails. It is generally considered that the second reading
affords the fitting opportunity for debating the principle,
while the details and separate clauses are afterwards
disposed of in Committee. It will greatly and un-
necessarily multiply the laboars of the chosen repre-
sentetives of the people, which, even under the most
favourable circumstances, and with every practicable
degree of economy of time and trouble, are already
sufficiently onerous, if the precedent thus adopted,
at the commencement of the session, should be fol-
lowed in other matters which may chance to be ob-
noxious to small minorities. The whole of Fri-
day evening was consumed—Monday was like-
wise occupied, and but little real progress
was made. On the first motion fur adjournment the
House rejected the demand by a majority of more
than six to one—there being 364 against, and 59 (!)
only in favour of the proposition. This is a point,
however, on which a factious minority can coerce the
entire assembly, while there are half a down Mem-
hers ready and willing to set public opiniep at de-
I fiance, and to incur the odium attendant upon such a
proceeding. 'When, therefore, it was clearly shown
that the House was to be harassed by repeated divi-
sions Lord JOHN RUSSELL very judiciously yielded,
declaring at the same time that "he did not
propose to go on with any Government business until
the motion was disposed of." This wise determina-
tion, and the overwhelmieg majority that supported
Ministers on the first division, will probably prevent
further attempts at procrastination. There will be
no temptation held out to Honourable Gentlemen to
seek a martyr's crown, or to "die upon the floor of the
House," in resisting the insult to their religion.
The principal feature in the evening's debate was
the exceedingly lucid exposition by Sir JOHN
ROMILLY of the general scope and effect of the pro-
posed Bill, and of the specific offence it was intended
to guard against. The Right Hon. Gentleman used
the word "offence" advisedly, because he is well
aware that the law bas been violated by the intro-
s duction of these "bulls" from Rome, which were con-
Isidered so highly objectionable to our Roman Catholic
ancestors, and so vigilantly watched by the Govern-
ment, the Legislature, and the people of Great
Britain for ages anterior to the Reformation. A
foreign Prelate had ventured to subdivide the English
Soil into districts, and to confer titles of honour and
territorial distinctions and authority upon persona of
his own selection, not chosen or recommended by the
English Roman Catholics, or any parties owing alle-
giance to the British SOVEREIGN. That was the overt
act, which so strongly excited the indignation of the
people of Great Britain—that was the disease for
which a suitable remedy was to be provided. It is
true that many of the old Tories—many who had
hoped that the occasion would enable them to give
full scope to their ancient feelings of bigotry—de-
sired to improve the occasion by a return to the penal
restrictions and intolerant enactments that so long
disgraced the national statute-book. But Lord dose
steered clear of both extremes—he took good care
lest, in avoiding Scylla, he might fall into Charybdis.
He
would adequately vindicate the independence of
the Throne and people of this realm, without encoun-
tering the cvil, equally to he shunned, of exposing
